Chapter 4
"I want one!" Nick whined as Kristy shook her head. 20
minutes
had passed and they were going nuts.
Kristy had tic tacs in hand.
"Nope,
I only would give one to someone like…my best
friend?" Kristy said popping
a peppermint tic tac in her mouth.
"I deserve that I know…please? I'm
hungry!" He begged.
"Sorry, popular people can't talk to me or
even have a tic tac from me."
"Hey it's not like I picked the title
of being popular, I can't help it!"
"Like you can't help 5 years
of silence?"
"Man forget it, I get bitched at for wanting a tic
tac."
"So I'm a bitch now?"
"I never knew you were
until now! I try to explain
myself to you but all you can do is bitch bitch
bitch!"
"Then don't talk to me," she said with a shrug.
"I
have no problem with that."
"FINE!"
"FINE!"
They both stopped talking to each other.
Just giving each other evil looks
was good enough for them.
"So when you decided to mutilate my locker
did you
laugh your ass off over it or just laugh?" Kristy asked.
"I
didn't do that to your locker, Mike did."
"How did he know my nickname
was Krispy?" She asked as
Nick sighed.
"I watched them do it,
I offered the name, that's all."
"Oh okay, that's fine to do Nick."
"Well
I told you the truth didn't I? Give me credit for
that," Nick said as she
rolled her eyes.
"I don't want to talk to a mutilator."
"Fine,
DON'T!"
"FINE!"
"FINE!" There was a pause
as Kristy started up again.
"How's Jane?" She asked curiously.
"She
still talks about you, it's Kristy did this remember when
Kristy did that, she
misses you too much…how's Bridget?"
"Since her and my dad got divorced
not so good."
"They got divorced?"
"3 years ago.
My mom works 2 jobs, she's trying to keep busy."
"I'm sorry,"
Nick said sadly.
"No you're not. You have the Leave It To Beaver
family,"
she shrugged.
"I know I do, but that doesn't mean I can't feel sorry
for you."
"So now you're my friend?"
"I'm trying."
"Well
don't, I don't want to deal with what I had to these
5 years again later,"
she said looking down at her shoes…
"Get those and let's go,"
Nick whined as Kristy shook her head.
"I have to get some pretty one's,
someone's getting married
Nick we gotta be pretty!" Kristy said as they
walked
through the shoe store.
"What about these?" Nick asked
as Kristy smiled.
"They're perfect!" She said slipping them on
and walking
around in them. "Thanks Nick!" She said hugging him
tight.
"Hey
what are best friends for?"
"Earth to Kristy? HELLO?"
Nick asked as she snapped into reality.
"Remember when I bought these?"
She asked looking at him.
"Yeah! I do! You can still fit in them?"
"I
make them fit."
"Oh."
"Why hasn't anyone found
us yet?" Kristy asked looking at the elevator
numbers.
"You
think they would by now." Nick looked at her as she
looked up. He couldn't
forgive himself for what he did and
he couldn't believe he let her go…
Kristy
looked up as she heard her and Nick's song
from when they were younger.
"Nick
it's our song," she said with a grin. They started singing it
together
as Nick watched a beautiful smile cross her
lips.
"You're the only
true friend I have," Nick confessed.
"Used to have," she corrected.
She laid down on the elevator
floor and closed her eyes. "I can't talk
to you anymore,
wake me when we start moving."
"I miss you Krispy,"
Nick said sadly.
"Apparently you don't, took you 5 years to say something?
Nick I've moved on, so should you," she said rolling over to face
the
wall as she opened her eyes. Tears came down her face
again as she cried. "Don't
call me by that, I don't go by that
anymore."
"Ever?"
"Never,"
she said wiping her eyes.
