Chapter 7
Aly logged online. Tonight was the first night she and Stephanie had decided to IM. Aly brought her school books with her to the computer. Stephanie wasn't online yet so she sent a Hello message. Then she started on her homework.
Aly finished all of her homework and when she looked up at the computer she realized that it was thirty minutes after six, their scheduled IM time and Stephanie hadn't shown up. Aly signed out of the network and headed for the house phone. (since she wasn't allowed to use her cell phone until after seven)
Please pick, please pick up, Aly pleaded silently. Someone answered. "Hello?" It was a guy's voice. Carter, Stephanie's brother was talking, Aly guessed. "Hey! Can I talk to Stephanie?" she asked. "Who is this?" asked Carter. Aly held her breath. Why didn't he know who she was? "Aly" she said at last. "Don't you have caller I.D?" Aly asked. "Yeah" said Carter. "But your name must have been erased because only your number shows now. Aly almost gasped. Stephanie erased her? What did she do that was so bad that Stephanie would actually erase her?
"Anyway" said Carter. "I'll go get her" Carter was refering to Stephanie, the meanie who only cared about herself and left old friends in dirt. "Hey!" yelled Stephanie at Carter who was just handing the phone to her, Aly guessed. "I'm already on my cell phone with Nicole" said Stephanie.
Stephanie finally took her home phone and said in a gruff voice, "Hello". "Hey" said Aly. It sounded more like "HEY!" "What was up with Nicole at ballet? She must be very pushy y'know to get as far into ballet since she's new and all" said Aly. "What do you mean?" asked Stephanie. "I invited her to my ballet class and since she is our age she would've joined my class anyway" Aly gasped not afraid to hide it. "It's our class not just your class"
Stephanie was getting angry and now Aly was going to blow her top off with the temper tantrums she'd kept since her toddler years. "Look Alyssa! We are not one person so stop talking as if we were one" Aly blew her top off. "I NEVER said we were one! We are friends so just maybe you would apologize for forgetting that we were supposed to IM tonight! Oh wait, we are not friends anymore cause you threw me in dirt for Knuckle Buxter!" Aly threw Stephanie into flames.
"WHAT? I didn't forget! I was on the phone with Nicole Baxter. You were too selfish and you couldn't stand the wait!" Stephanie shot out. "Maybe you and Miss Angela Angel will have fun together at that party!" "Hey! How did you know about that party?" Aly asked in a hiss. "Well....If you Miss Alley Ramp are so smart, maybe you would have realized that Max lives on my street" Aly could see Stephanie grinning away at her smart aleck remark like the Chesire Cat.
Aly was going to end this conversation real quick. "And if you, Miss Stiff Wimp think your so smart maybe you would have realized that you are a hypocrite and a backstabber and a fool and a....a....a butt-head!" Aly sneered even though Stephanie couldn't see her. "And as you and Knuckle Buxter waltz down St.Lucifer's together, I hope you remember this very important message that I'm giving you. We are now officially EX-BFF's!" Then Aly slammed the phone into reciever withought letting Stephanie respond.
