“Is he at Community Hospital?”
Poser asked. “Me & my girlfriend will be right over”
“No, Poser,” said Kaylee. “He didn’t make it”
“What?” said
Poser. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Poser, I’m sorry”
said Kaylee.
Poser dropped his phone and
broke down into tears.
Pixie comforted him, as Spunky
picked up Poser’s phone.
“Hello?” said
Kaylee.
“Hey” said Spunky.
“This is Spunky, Poser’s brother, what happened?”
“I’m Kaylee.
My boyfriend Dan, who was Poser’s friend, was killed by a drunk driver last night. The wake will be on Friday, and the
funeral is on Saturday. Make sure you tell Poser that”
“Ok, thanks, bye”
Spunky hung up the phone. “Poser?” he said. “Are you alright?”
Poser shook his head. “I
haven’t talked to him since August” he sobbed.
“It’s ok, Baby”
said Pixie. She just sat there, holding him.
The next day, in 4th
period computer class, Bug walked up to Lemonade. “I see that Sean walked you to class” she said.
“Yeah” said Lemonade.
“We’re becoming really good friends”
“Well just be careful
around him, ok?” said Bug.
“Shut up, Bug”
said Lemonade. “You’re stupid and unpopular”
“You’re not very
popular anymore, either” said Bug.
“You’re just
jealous that Sean likes me and not you” said Lemonade.
“No, Lemonade, I’m
serious” said Bug.
“Bug, just leave me
alone!” said Lemonade.
