Apologize
It's Monday again, Lucy is dressed early, she wants to prove to her mother and Becca that she can be an early riser too. She goes down the stairs after arranging her room of the mess from the sleepover she had with Becca yesterday, sometimes she likes doing the cleaning herself. They played lot of games, sang songs and talked about lot of things. At the sitting room, she founds everywhere silent and empty, then a maid passes
Lucy: (Stopping the maid) Hey, where's Mom and Dad?
Maid: Good morning, Miss Lucy. Master is out to work
Lucy: So early? not even 7:00 yet.
What about Mom?
Maid: Madam had to leave early, she told Stella to give you something
Lucy: Who is Stella?
Maid: One of the maids, Miss
Lucy: Oh, I don't even know the maids.
Um, go tell her to give me what Mom said she should
Maid: Yes, Ma'am. (Leaves)
Lucy: Can't believe they are not around to see that I woke up all by myself and early too. Such a wasted effort! (Stella comes in)
Stella: Good morning Miss
Lucy: Morning. Where's the stuff Mom told you to give to me?
Stella: (Takes a neatly folded paper out of her pocket) Here it is ma. I kept it safe
Lucy: Why didn't you bring it to me ever since she left?
Stella: Um Ma'am, she left so early that I didn't wanted to wake you up
Lucy: Are you trying to say, I'm a late sleeper?
Stella: No, Ma'am! I can never say that.
I….I couldn't wake you...up..be..cause...she left...as early..as...4am...and..
Lucy: Just give me and get out. (Maid gives it to her and runs off) Yeah, you better run. (Unfolds the letter and reads out loud)
Sweetie, I know you hate the maids telling you things like this so I'm writing to you. I have an emergency to take care of, it involves a neurosurgery and I have to fly the man to India because US doesn't have the equipment to be used. It's difficult to handle here, we just pray flying him to India would help.
Anyways, I will be gone for four days maximum but don't worry, daddy's at home with you. Take care honey, don't get to school late
Love, Momma
And how will I ever get a sibling when my parents are too busy to spend time with each other. (Becca enters)
Becca: Hey sweetie
Lucy: Hey.
Becca: What's that on your hand, love letter?
Lucy: (chuckles) Yeah, from admirer Mom.
Becca:( Rolls her eyes) Your mom's traveling?
Lucy: Yeah, to India
Becca: Africa, that's nice!
Lucy: Yeah, yeah.
Becca: Where's uncle? Uncle good morning
Lucy: He's out for work
Becca: Oh, guess we aren't early afterall
Well, I'm starving. (Claps her hands twice and a maid appears) Get me something to eat.
Maid: What will I get for you, Ma'am
Becca: just get me tea and bread. Make it double, for me and Lucy
Maid: Yes, Ma'am. (leaves)
Lucy: Sometimes, I wonder. Is this my house? Or yours?
Becca: Chick, Whenever I'm here, in a house full of maids and guards, I get so comfortable. Too bad we got just few workers at home. But in this home, I got many workers, so let me enjoy myself
Lucy: Yes Ma'am. (They laugh)
Maid: (comes in with their breakfast) I added fried eggs to it, Ma'am. Hope you would like it
Lucy: Did we ask for…
Becca: Yes, I like it. Thanks
you can go (Maid leaves)
Lucy: We didn't ask her for eggs
Becca: Yeah, and that's forgetful of me. Like who would eat plain bread and tea. You should be grateful you got smart maids.
Lucy: Uh huh
Becca: Eat up. (they begin to eat) So, you've been avoiding this talk but I'm gonna hit right at you.
Friday's night kiss. How are you dealing with that.
Lucy: You don't eat while talking
Becca: Talk while eating
Lucy: Whatever, still not talking
Becca: Or you are in love?
Lucy: Yuck! In love with who? Kris? That pervert? Yuck!
Becca: Pervert but handsome and sexy friend
Lucy: Seriously girl, Kris has been like a brother to us and he should remain so.
And for the kiss, I'm gonna make him pay.
Becca: How?
Lucy: By ignoring him.
Becca: That's too cheap a payback
Lucy: Then what do I do?
Becca: Make him apologize, like kneel apologize. You know he's some proud guy. Cut his peacock feathers and make him beg
Lucy: Yeah. I will make him apologize!
Becca: Good girl.
Let's get going, almost 7:30 (they leave)
At school
It's lunch time and the KBL are having lunch together as usual, in the VIP area for popular kids.
Kris: So glad I got rid of that bitch, she's not even among the popular kids like Iwas the one making her popular
Becca: I am glad because she wouldn't dare talk to me anyhow now, cause if she does, no one would save her
Kris: Yeah.
L, why the silence? You've been silent since morning
Lucy: None of your biz
Kris: That's, saucy.
Lucy: Get over it
Becca: I'm liking this!
Kris: Common L, (draws her chair closer with his legs and wraps his hands around her shoulders) Don't be grumpy.
Lucy: I'm not grumpy. Get you hands off me! (Pushes his hands away)
Kris: What's up L, everyone's watching
Lucy: You should have known that when you kissed me!
Kris: Still with the kiss? C'mon girl. I didn't ask for my car back
Lucy: Oh, so you think the car is the price you payed for stealing my first kiss? That was just a punishment for making you walk home!
Kris: Yeah, punishment alright, some girls nearly raped me!
Becca: Like as if you wouldn't love that
Kris: Let's let that slide (Becca laughs) But baby, you should know that was just a simple kiss, no feelings attached I swear
Lucy: And to think my first kiss was without feelings! Fuck you! I feel so cheap! (Throws the table away and walks away with anger)
Becca: There goes our lunch, on the floor!
Kris: Thank goodness we are far from other VIP students, they heard nothing. First time I like being popular
Becca: Seriously dude!!
Kris: I don't get why Lucy's so worked up about the kiss?
Becca: You wouldn't understand, since you can't even remember your first kiss!
Kris: You too?
Becca: Yeah me too. The best thing is to apologize, if not, L is not gonna talk to you again
Kris: Huh! I just got into talking terms with you guys now I'm getting out of it again?
Becca: Um, it's you and Lucy. I'm not involved.
