A Blessing In Disguise

So my awful fantasy was right. My mother did invite her and her mother over, as soon as she saw us. No, I did not walk with her. Yes, she followed me until I agreed to be her friend as long as she shut up. "Alright, children! Dinner is ready!" Finally, I could escape from her lame stories! It was supposed to be a "playdate", which would never happen, even if I had a chance to talk to her. The food was delicious though, I'll give you that. As soon as she left, I took a deep sigh and flopped on the couch. My dad unfortunately followed. "So, I thought you hated her? wanna tell me what that was about?" "I do. I don't." he raised his hands in a surrender type of way. "Alright alright! don't tell me then. But in my opinion, I would say you to are warming up to each other." "Dad, if this is about my social awkwardness and not about watching TV, then please leave." "Jeez! okay!" Yeah, I was kinda bratty. But what could I say? I was twelve and they expected me to socialize like I was seventeen! Chill out, parents, you don't want me having too much fun right?

That evening, I sat on my bed and contemplated; why am I so unlucky? If I didn't know any better, I would be slitting my wrists right now. I tossed and turned all night. I couldn't shake the feeling that we were actually getting close. Ew! No! Just because she helped me, doesn't mean she's gonna cling to me for something, right?

"Magellyn, if you don't repay me for what I risked for you in the bathroom, I'm gonna be coming over your house daily. That's right, I'm gonna wring out something from you! And you bet that something is friendship!" Oh, god, are you even up there? Why haven't you saved me yet? "Alright Izzy, why don't we make a deal? I give you ten dollars, and-" She stomped her foot. "No way in HECK, Magellyn! I'm gonna be friends with you, and that's that!" "But... why are you so infatuated with me?" she paused. I caught her of guard. "... probably because I wanna be your first friend so I can finally have a bestie. See ya at lunch, future bestie!" She skipped along, humming. humming. that went awful, and here she was, humming? No way. this was a total curse.

Thinking. that was the only thing I was doing for the rest of the day. even when I got home. Thinking. How could god possibly exist if Izzi came into my life? No way would I want to have a religion that isn't even true. Thinking. Or.... what if this... was a blessing in a disguise.. my grandmother says that all the time. And I love her. It seems like she is the only woman in the world who gets me sometimes. But, I couldn't be on her side for this one. Izabelle was a complete human built from bad luck, and god put her in my life for a punishment. I would never think otherwise.
