“Tell me what’s going on!” Monica shouted, angrily, into her sparkly, teal cell phone. Sarah, her best friend, hadn’t spoken to her all summer long and whenever Monica tried to called her, she didn’t pick up!
“Why don’t you tell me what’s going on, Princess Monica!” Sarah replied in the same angry voice as Monica.
“You know what, if you’re gonna go around calling me “Princess Monica” and not talking to me all summer long, then I don’t plan on being your bestie anymore!” Monica hung up, fuming with anger. Sarah was never allowed to call her Princess Monica, no one was! Her daddy din't even call her that unless she was using her princess coated voice when she wanted something!
Meanwhile, Sarah was pacing around her dark purple bedroom, her curly and very blond hair bouncing up and down on her shoulders, she has just lost her bestie, but she did not care! Monica had been a jerk all summer long and hadn’t even taken the time to say hello, even though her house was in walking distance! Sarah was popular, so she new it would take no time to make a new bestie!
Monica, who was flopped on her teal bedspread, was furious and a bit confused. Monica was just so annoyed...she and Sarah had been besties since they were babies! She looked calm on the outside but on the inside her thoughts were going wild! Who needs Sarah anyway? She wasn’t there for me all summer long, anyway! It won’t take more than a day to get a new friend! Monica leaped off her bed, practically jumped the stairs, and sprinted over to Lily's house. Lily was one of her friends, if she spent a bit more time with her, there was no doubt she would want to be Monica’s new bestie. After all, everyone wanted to be friends with Monica since she was the most popular girl in school.
…
The next morning, Monica woke up with a huge grin on her face! She had a fabulous night with Lily, who was more than thrilled to be Monica’s new bestie. Lily even asked to walk to school with Monica! Monica was thrilled!
Sarah, who had also already made a new bestie, Kayla, was thrilled that Kayla was overjoyed to be her new bestie! They were going to be better besties than she and Monica ever were!
Lily, who was bouncing around her green shaded bedroom, she was practically in seventh heaven! Monica wanted to be her new bestie, not just a good friend, her bestie! Lily never had a true bestie before, never! Lily raced down the stairs, kissed her mother goodbye, and dashed off to Monica’s house! They were walking to school together and Lily couldn’t wait one more second to get to Monica’s house!
…
Sarah and Kayla left for school in a hurry! They were talking excitedly, more Kayla than Sarah, when all of a sudden, Sarah saw Monica, Monica and Lily! They slowly started to walk closer, until, everyone heard a loud screech!
Lily, couldn’t believe it! Kayla was with Sarah! She turned to Monica, who was staring at her with a very surprised look!
“LILY!” Monica whispered loudly. “Why did you just scream! If anyone should be screaming, it’s me! I’m the one who has to see Sarah, again!” Monica was furious! She hated when her friends screamed out of the blue, it just drove her crazy!
“I’m-I’m sorry! I just can’t believe I have to see, and possibly talk, to, to Kayla!” Lily stuttered, she hated Kayla, and she new Monica would find out why sooner or later, but she’d rather Monica find out later.
Monica froze. What’s Lily’s deal anyway!?! What made her so mad at Kayla, that she had to scream!?! Lily’s my new bestie, so she has to tell me why she hates Kayla so much, she just has to! “Lily,” Monica whispered, “What’s wrong, why do you hate Kayla so much? She’s not nearly as bad as Sarah!” Monica piped up the last sentence, just so Sarah could hear how much Monica hated her!
“It’s-it’s nothing. I’ll-i’ll tell you later, I just don’t want to talk to her right now! P-please, can we go? I’ll explain everything later!” Lily whispered nervously.
“Okay, okay. Follow me, I know another way to school!” Monica grabbed Lily’s hand and they flew off in another direction!
…
After school, Sarah and Kayla raced to Kayla’s house, sprinted up the stairs and flopped on Kayla’s hot pink bed.
“What was Lily’s deal today, anyway?” Sarah asked curiously. “Why did she freak out when she saw you?”
“Well, I guess you’ll find out eventually,” Kayla sighed heavily. “Lily used to be my best friend, but when her parents got divorced, she started going between their houses. Anyway, one day she came back from her dad’s place, but instead of coming to my house, she dashed up to her room and called her “new best friend.” Later that night, I called Lily to ask why she didn’t come over to my place, and she said she was on the phone with her new bestie, Margo. On top of that, she said she couldn’t go camping with me that summer because that was the week she was going to camp with Margo! We haven’t spoken a word since.” Kayla let out a huge sigh, and looked to Sarah to see what her response would be.
“Wow. No wonder she was surprised to see you!” Sarah said softly. Is that gonna happend to me and Monica? Are we gonna become enemies like Kayla and Lily are? Will we never want to see each other again, all because she didn’t call me this summer? Sarah glanced around Kayla’s room, then whispered, “I’ve gotta go home, I have a ton of homework to do. Plus, I still need some time to think about me and Monica’s fight.” Sarah looked over at Kayla, hoping she wouldn’t ask any questions about her fight with Monica. Thankfully Kayla just nodded and said goodbye.
…
Lily watched as Monica’s mouth dropped open, clearly Monica had not expected Kayla to be Lily’s old best friend because the look on her face was pure shock.
Monica was so surprised! No wonder Lily freaked out when she saw Kayla, she had made a new best friend and Kayla didn’t approve! “Wait a minute! If Margo is your best friend what does that make me!?! I thought I was your best friend!”
“You are! I haven’t been to my dad’s for weeks, and on top of that, Margo has a boyfriend, so she ditched me so her boyfriend wouldn’t know her best friend was some freaky new girl!” Lily was relieved to get that out to someone! She was a little worried, though, that Monica might not want to be her best friend now that she knew about Margo! “Please don’t be mad, I swear me and Margo aren’t besties anymore!” Lily begged.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine with me! Sarah used to be my bestie, until she didn’t answer my phone calls over the summer!” Monica blurted out, but instantly regretted saying! She hadn’t told anyone her reasoning for Sarah not being her bestie anymore! “Oh, I-I didn’t mean to say that, I just, never mind, I just never told anyone what happened between me and Sarah.”
Lily stared at Monica in surprise! So that’s why Monica wasn’t Sarah’s bestie anymore, but why would Sarah be mad at Monica if she was the one who didn’t pick up the phone? It just didn’t make any sense. “Wait a minute! If Sarah was the one who didn’t pick up the phone, then why was she mad at you?” Lily was so confused, she understood Monica’s side, but not Sarah’s!
Monica stared at Lily, not sure what to say, she never thought of why Sarah was mad at her, she was just so upset that she didn’t want to be with Sarah anymore! If Sarah was the one not to pick up the phone, then why is she mad at me!?! I should be the one who’s upset, not her, she has no reason to be upset! What is going!?! I need to talk to Sarah and figure out what her deal was! Monica sat up and turned to Lily, “I need to go! I don’t know what made Sarah mad, and this might be my chance to find out! I’m really sorry to leave you, but I need to know why she was mad at me when she was the one who didn’t pick up the phone when I called her!” Monica looked at Lily, hoping she would understood. Lily nodded and said it was okay, so Monica jumped up, snatched her sparkly, teal book bag and dashed downstairs and out the front door, which slammed when she let go!
…
Sarah slowly walked over to her phone and her eyes widened to see a text from Monica!
Monica: Hey Sarah
Sarah: Hey Monica. What do u want?
Monica: I was just 2 ask why u were so mad. U didn’t answer my calls, so i had a reason to be mad, but i don’t know what your reason is…
Sarah: u called me? I was mad because u didn’t come to my place 2 say hello, but i didn’t know u called me…
Monica: What! u didn’t no i was calling u!?!
Sarah: Monica, i was grounded from my phone! My mom and dad got divorced this summer and my mom took my phone. She was so stressed and got mad cause i gave her a little sass after dad had left us :(
Monica: oh…I thought u just didn’t want 2 talk 2 me so u ignored all my calls
Sarah: no way, if i wasn’t grounded, i would have answered!
Monica: our friendship got wrecked cause u got grounded and i didn’t know! I feel terrible now, i should have just went 2 your house and asked why u didn’t pick up in person!
Sarah: no, i should have went 2 your house and told u i got grounded from my phone so we can’t call/text each other
Monica: walk 2 school with me 2mro?
Sarah: u don’t need to ask me twice
Monica: see u 2mro
Sarah: Yea, night
Monica: night
…
The next morning, Monica raced to her closet, pulled out the outfit that both she and Sarah both owned, it had a perfect mix of teal and purple, and through it on! She scurried down the stairs, grabbed a s'more pop-tart and her book bag, kissed her mommy goodbye, and dashed over to Sarah’s house!
Sarah put her book bag on and slowly opened the door, but when she opened it, she nearly jumped in surprise, “You’re here! Already? And you’re wearing our shirt!” Sarah’s eyes widened, surprised they were both wearing their shirt!
“Yea, I thought it was a good idea, and clearly you did too! Does this mean we’re besties again?” Monica’s voice had a hint of hope in it.
“Of course, but what do we do about Kayla and Lily!?! They’re enemies now, remember?” Sarah started to panic!
“I-I don’t know, maybe we can get them to walk with us and we can figure out how to make them friends, again…”
“We’ll figure something out, we always do!” Monica spoke fast and anxiously.
…
Monica spirited off to Lily’s house, pulled Lily out of her house and pulled her to the park between Sarah and Monica’s house! Sarah, who was already there with Kayla, jogged awkwardly over to Monica and pulled her to face away from Lily and Kayla.
“So how are we gonna get them to make up?” Sarah whispered anxiously. “Should we just tell them we figured out what went wrong and tell them now we can all be besties?” Sarah’s voice was full of hope, but also a hint of fear, fear that Kayla and Lily wouldn’t like them all being besties.
“That sounds like a good plan,” Monica nodded in agreement, “I’ll tell them, but if I am at loss of words, you can jump in and help me, okay?”
“Okay!” Sarah whispered a bit too loudly, making Lily and Kayla look over at them awkwardly.
Sarah and Monica slowly walked over to Kayla and Lily, continually glancing at each other.
“So, what’s going on? Why are you talking to each other all of a sudden? I thought you two were enemies!” Lily shouted so loudly, she made Kayla, Sarah, and Monica jump in surprise, Lily never got mad, so what was her deal?
“Lily, Kayla, Sarah and I figured out what went wrong this summer. We both assumed the other didn’t want us around anymore, but we realized we could have fixed this if only one us us wasn’t so stubborn.” Monica talked slowly while look between Sarah, Lily and Kayla, and the ground.
“Yea, and we figured, since I became close friends with Kayla,” Sarah forced a smile towards Kayla, “and Monica became such close friends with Lily,” Sarah looked up at Monica who smiled Lily and then her, “we thought we could all be besties, instead of it just being Monica and Lily, or Kayla and me. You know, one big group of besties!” Sarah gave a heavy sigh of relief to get that out, but was cut of by two loud screams.
“WHAT!?!” Lily and Kayla screamed in unison, “You expect us to be friends again, best friends, just because you and Monica figured out your problem!?!” Kayla shouted so loud she made Sarah and Monica jump in fear.
“I will never be best friends with her, never! Did you hear me? I said never!” Lily was looking between Sarah, who had a very shocked look on her face, and Monica, who looked like she was about to burst into tears.
“Lily, Kayla, calm down, I know you two had a bad history, but Monica and I found what went wrong, and we want to fix it without losing you two!” Sarah glanced back and forth between Kayla and Lily, hoping they would just make up and be besties again.
“Sorry Sarah, but I’m not gonna be friends with her, let alone best friends, ever again!” Kayla whispered loudly.
“Kayla, I don’t want to loss you!” Sarah begged.
“You just did!” Kayla turned and sashayed off, leaving Sarah and Monica staring at Lily, hoping she would respond better than Kayla did.“Lily,” Monica’s voice full of hope, “Please don’t respond like Kayla…”
“Sorry Monica,” Lily cut her off quickly, “I don’t want to be in a trio, that never ends well, believe me, I know. It’s fine you and Sarah can be besties, I’ll be alright.” Lily bit her lip, “Bye Monica, bye Sarah, hope you guys don’t make the same mistake, causing someone else to be hurt.” Lily slowly turned then ran off.
Sarah and Monica stared at her in disbelief and then they both started to to school, the whole way there was a long, quiet walk, but when they got to school, they made a solemn pact.
“No matter what,” Sarah started.
“We will never make that same mistake, again.” Monica finished.
They both smiled at each other, and walked into school with a whole new attitude and a huge smile spread across their faces knowing their best friend, was back.
The End!
