No one's P.O.V
*SLAM*
Sheylia slams her locker door shut, angry because of her mark in science. She got a B- , she thought she would've gotten at least an A.
Her parents are a bit strict when it comes to grades. They expect all A's, and sometimes, ONLY sometimes do they her get away with a B+.
Today Mia decided to treat Sheylia at a near by ice cream shop. Mia knows that her friends parents are going to give her a hard time later when she gets home. So she wanted her to forget about it and feel a bit at ease.
"Hey Lia, are you ready for some ice cream!" Mia shouts from down the hall. Sheylia looks to where the sound came from, she smiles.
"Yep! She says, "Oh, shoot! I forgot my wallet..."
"That's great! I was planning on paying for you anyway," Mia happily says, knowing that if she had brought her wallet she would never let her pay. Sheylia pouts, not wanting her friend to pay for her.
She doesn't like when people do or buy stuff for her because it makes her feel like a burden.
Making their way to the ice cream shop they pass by lots of buildings and many different people.
"Awww, look at the puppy!!!" Sheylia squeals as she spots a big white fluffy labrador coming their way. "Hello, your puppy is so cute, do you mind if I give him a few pets?" Sheylia asks the owner with a big beautiful smile plastered on her face,
"Sure, I don't mind, he loves the attention anyway," the lady says softly, Sheylia immediately starts rubbing and scratching the dog. The lady looks at her fondly.
"Your friend here is very cute, take good care of her," the lady suddenly says to Mia who only gave the dog a few pats on the head, unlike Sheylia who is literally sitting on the pavement playing and hugging the dog.
"Of course," Mia says, smiling at her giggling friend.
"Excuse me mam, but what is this adorable ball of fluff's name?" Sheylia kindly asks,
"His name is Bentley, dear," the lady responses.
"Aw, such a cute name, for such a cute boy!" Sheylia says. The labrador starts licking her face,
"Oh, who's such a good boy? Who's such a good boy? You are! You are Bentley!" Sheylia happily says while playing with the dogs ears.
After fifteen minutes of Sheylia playing with the dog and the others watching them, Mia looks at the time,
"Oh I'm so sorry for wasting your time! It's already been fifteen minutes, Sheylia get up let's go!" Mia says while trying to pull Sheylia off the ground.
"It's fine dear, I didn't have anywhere to be, I enjoyed watching your friend play with Bentley, he seemed like he was really enjoying it," the lady smiles.
"Thank you! I love your dog, bye Bentley!" Sheylia says with a big eye smile on her face, waving goodbye towards Bentley and the lady. She waves back smiling.
"Sorry again mam!" Mia apologizes, linking arms with Sheylia they walk off.
"I want Bentley," Sheylia says with a small pout,
"Well you can't have him!" Mia giggles remembering how happy her friend looked while playing with the dog. "Look! There's the ice cream shop!" Mia excitedly says before darting off in it's direction.
Pushing the glass door open, the sound of chimes fills the building.
"Hmmm....which flavor are you getting Mia?" Sheylia asks while looking at all the different flavors.
"I think I'm going to get one scoop of mint chip ice cream, hmmm....oh! And a scoop of black cherry ice cream," Mia says happy with her decision, "What about you?"
"I'm going to get one scoop of peanut butter ice cream and one scoop of brownie ice cream," Sheylia says, grinning. After they got their ice cream they left the shop.
"Mmmmm....I can't, this is just too good.." Sheylia's voice trails off as she starts eating her ice cream again.
"I knew this was a good idea, we should do this more often!" Mia says before stuffing the ice cream into her mouth again.
They entered the park that's close to Sheylia's house. The sun shining through the trees branches, creating strange shadows on the path.
"Oh no! My ice cream is melting," Sheylia cries as she starts to eat her ice cream faster,
"Slow down, you might get a brain freeze!!" Mia worriedly says.
"But if I slow down then my ice cream is going to melt and make a mess," Sheylia whined.
They continue walking, until they see a wooden bench. Both girls take a seat and finish their ice cream.
"I told Lara," Sheylia says out of nowhere,
"Told Lara what?" Mia asks, confused, "Oh nevermind, I know,"
"Yeah, she told me that until I am ready to tell Lyde no, she is my bodyguard," she chuckles lightly,
"Well that's good, right?" Mia glances at her friend.
"Yeah,"
The sun began to set creating a red and orange sky.
"It's getting late, let me walk you home," Mia says while getting up,
"Okay, let's go," Sheylia responses.
After a bit they made it to Sheylia's doorstep,
"Okay I hope you had fun, and don't let your parents walk over you," She says while walking away. The last part confusing her friend. Then bam! She remembered her science mark. Sheylia groaned, she was having too much fun that she forgot all about it. I guess Mia's plan worked.
Now Sheylia has to deal with her parents, or maybe, she just shouldn't tell them. She nods at the thought and enters her house quietly.
"Oh hello honey, how was school, did you eat, we just finished but I think there is some left," her mother said, but before she could go check, Sheylia speaks up.
"I'm good mom, I already ate with Mia, and school was fine," she says, purposely leaving her mark out.
"Oh okay, that's good," her mother says, walking back to the kitchen to finish cleaning up.
Sheylia sighs and makes her way up to her bedroom. She had a plan, if her parents ask about her marks she will just say she forgot and that she's sure they are good.
Sheylia does her night routine and decides to go to bed early, before anyone can bother her or she gets a sudden burst of energy, like she sometimes gets.
Laying in her warm bed. Sheylia looks out her window watching the maroon sky slowly fade to a black.
Eyes feeling heavy, she slowly closes them and falls asleep, hugging her pillow.
