As usual Smith sneaked up at her at the school cafeteria playing all lovie dovie
but she just stayed there, Mena was eight steps away from her table, eating with her new friends and they seem happy
You okay babe, Smith asked
Kelsey shrugs and smiles at him
Am sorry just had a lot , but it's all good, Kelsey says
Well I was thinking that after school we could go to club 84, Smith says
Kelsey only smiles her eyes still fixed on Mena , I ll pass, I'm having a headache, she lies
Ohh my bad , let's go to the clinic tho, smith says
I ll be fine , just need rest, Kelsey says stands up ,pecks smith and leaves.
Kelsey comes home, her day seem to have been messed up, she knew smith wasn't worth the friendship she lost, she had a lot of things to tell Mena, memories do really have a way to mess with ones brain, seeing that Mena had already gotten her replacement made her sad, she missed how she would hear Mena shriek her name , or how Mena would scold her for not chatting or calling her, how dare Mena make new friends? she asked herself " shit happens obviously and they are friends it's only good they mend it" but Mena was doing great so maybe she didn't really want her again.....
You okay? Devon ask jerking her back to reality
mum, you came home early, Kelsey says and rush to hug her. " I ve missed you, she says
Yeah the office gave me a half day, plus today is our girl to girl day, hurry up I made something special, Devon says
Kelsey jumps in excitement, giggling like a child , she pecks her mum, takes her backpack and rushes to her room
An hour later Devon and Kelsey seem to be halfway into their movie, and Kelsey just clinged to her mom,
Mum I want us to go back to the way things used to be, I missed you
Awwn , baby c'mon, do you want to talk to me? Devon ask
Your job , I barely even see you anymore, and you know your my best friend, Kelsey says
Are you sure this is not about Mena?, Devon ask
No it's not, Aren't you my best friend? Kelsey ask
I used to be, Devon replies jokingly
stop it, Kelsey says using her baby voice
I try to do great with time, Devon promise
is that fine ? Devon ask and Kelsey only nods
well I also hope you know that I wouldn't be able to take Mena's place in your heart, people hardly do,
we are cool, Kelsey lies
Hmmm, I see, so it's must be heartbreak then , Devon says
what are you saying? Kelsey ask
your eyes, my daughter has been in a lot of shit, you know am telling the truth, Devon says
she really hurt me, Kelsey says
And what did I tell you about being the bigger person? Devon ask raising her brows
Its no use , she has other friends now, Kelsey says and Devon smiles
That's you being jealous now, Devon says
I really do miss her a lot, Kelsey admits
so why are you telling me? Devon ask
what? Kelsey asked confused
Do I look like Mena? Devon ask again
ooh !! I know what to do, Kelsey says and walk out she comes back hugs her mum again
I love you, she says .
The next day was a Saturday, Kelsey jogged to the usi
usual sport were she knew Mena would be but she couldn't find her , she waited for over an hour but Mena wouldn't come there , Kelsey got tired and decided its was stupid, she had earlier sent Mena a text so they could meet here, looks like Mena didn't want to be friends anymore, Kelsey stood up and was about leaving
You couldn't wait an hour more? Mena asked from behind
Kelsey heart raced in excitement,
Thought you weren't coming, Kelsey says
Well you said 7, Mena says and you arrived 8, I had to watch u wait, Mena says " Bet you thought you were early?
Can we atleast sit? Kelsey asked
Its been a month since we both came here, Kelsey says and smiles
I wonder whose fault it is ? Mena says
We both made mistakes, Kelsey says
Both? no you made the mistake, you betrayed your best friend over a man, Mena says
Technically I didn't betray you, Kelsey defended
ohh good!! your defending yourself again, Mena says and wanted to leave
Mena wait....I really did like smith, and I still do , but am sorry it had to ruin us , it's my fault and I take responsibility for it, but I don't want to loose my best friend, one whole month without you was crazy, when I see you trying to make new friends it's hurts , cause I knew you wouldn't be in that position if I didn't do what i did, Kelsey confesses
Mena I want us to go back to us, please, i could break up with him if you want,Kelsey added
Mena heart sinks , she really missed her friend
I missed you too, I mean what you said , and smith it's really did hurt, but I guess I was crazy, a man shouldn't come between us, and am sorry it did, you don't have to end your relationship cause of me , especially when you like him so much
Does that mean we good?Kelsey ask
yeah sure
Kelsey hugs her almost immediately
Don't ever leave me again please, Kelsey says
your place or mine? Mena ask
Here , Kelsey replies
Devon had gone to the mall to get groceries, she had earlier checked her house and noticed, she was out of stock of food items especially beverages ,she knew that was Kelsey's doing her daughter's addiction for junk was quite confusing but kelsey was a light eater though, she struggled on the exact mayonnaise to buy,she just sticked to carrying the three of them.
she turned to the other row accidentally bombing into another customer breaking his jar of peanut butter
Am so sorry sir .....I apologize, Devon says
its fine, the man says even when he knew it was not
I ll pay for it, please
I said it's fine, the man insisted " hope you were not hurt though? he asked concern
No am fine, she said,
They continued shopping, The man finished and was about leaving the shop , Devon chased after him
Um sorry I had to stop you this way, I just want to say thank you again
ohh that's was nothing, mistakes happen, he said
yeah , Devon says and smiles

ohh my daughter is also a fan, Shawn says
That's nice, anyways it's was nice meeting you, Devon says wanting to leave
I hope we meet again, Shawn says , Devon smiles nods and mutters a. "me too'
Devon returns home only to hear giggles and laughter , she opened the door her heart filled with joy as soon as she set eyes on Mena
Good day ma'am, Mena greets
