“No! You know I’m not speaking to him!” I huffed. Missy gave me a sympathetic look, while hugging me from the side.
“He would give you the money you need.” He went on.
“He left my mom and me for some home wrecking teenager.” I spat. He sighed. “She was not a teenager but I see your point.” And drops it.
I vowed not to talk to him again, and since he has made no attempt to contact me, I can only return the favor.
I hooked my arms on either side of my friends, and leave all that behind me.
“So, how long this time?” Missy asked.
“Two weeks.” I shrugged, laughing. Danny laughed too.
“Wow, he’s going soft!” He joked.
“Oh I know! I guess it’s better than the month long sentence he set for me.” I said with a smug smile. Danny started cracking up along with Missy.
“I totally forgot about that! Man that was good! I still, can’t believe you stole Anderson’s keys, locked yourself in his office, and sung Starstruck into his speaker system!” He smiled proudly at me. I shrugged.
“What can you do? I had that song stuck in my head, and had to get it out somehow!” I defended. Missy shook her head at me disapprovingly, but she was hiding a smile.
“And how was drawing mustaches and uni-brows on his family pictures part of getting a song out of your head?” She asked sarcastically. I gave her a sheepish smile.
“I was expressing my artistic side?” I offered. She shook her head, chuckling. After skipping to my house - yes skipping - while we sang ‘we’re off to see the wizard’, we got inside my empty one story house.
It was a soft yellow color with white trim, and a white picket fence. Cute right? I’d rather have a gothic style house, just so I can sit on the porch and screech at the kids walking by about how to stay off my lawn. That would be fun.
I walked into the kitchen with my friends in tow, and we snacked on some delicious cookies that would make you want to do a happy dance. So that’s what I did.
“Oh, no, she’s at it again.” Danny rolled his eyes at me, but joins me after a moment. I knew I was incredibly random, but that’s just who I was. I started doing the running man, and Danny was doing the robot. Missy’s laughed at us, but otherwise didn’t join since she’s the sensible one of the group.
“Can’t touch this sucka!” I yelled to no one in particular and did the hammer dance. What cookies do to me.
We didn’t have much time before both Danny and Missy had to go. I gave them hugs and once they left I drummed the counter in boredom, not knowing what to do.
This suspension is going to suck.
