2016, November 18th
Claire was walking down the street one sunny morning, looking for her new middle school.
“Vermont Middle School… Where are you?” She thought to herself as she searched the crowded streets.
Finally, she spotted a prestigious looking school, with the name “Vermont Middle School” on a small sign next to the place. She watched the magnificent building standing on Cherry-blossom Street for a second. Claire grinned and quickly ran over to the building, only to bump into a taller girl.
“Hey! Watch where you're going!” The girl yelled.
Claire face-palmed and ran quickly, eager to get into the building, away from the crowded streets.
“Woah… This place is huge!” Claire whispered.
She quickly opened her backpack and pulled out a white sheet of paper.
“Okay. Room B-303. Where could that be?” As Claire wondered to herself, a girl about her height appeared next to her.
“Hey! Are you new? I’m Maxine. Nice to meet you!” The girl practically shouted, sounding excited.
“Uh- I’m Claire.” Claire mumbled.
Maxine grinned, “You lost? Let me help you.”
Before she could protest, Claire was dragged off by Maxine.
“Ooh! You have the same home-room as me! Perfect. Follow me.” Maxine announced, ecstatically.
“Okay? Where is- Augh!” Claire tripped and stumbled into a trashcan, plummeting onto the floor.
“Come-on! We don’t have all day,” Maxine helped Claire up and continued dragging her towards class.
Claire grinned and followed Maxine, “A new friend!” She thought.

Claire bounced out of bed and pulled out her phone to text Maxine.
“Hey Bestie! Can’t wait to meet you at the mall!” Claire typed.
“Yup! See ya there…” Maxine had replied.
Claire changed into a nice outfit, ate breakfast, and bounced out the door.
Once she had arrived at the mall, she pulled out her phone, to text Maxine.
“I’m here! Where are you?” Claire typed quickly.
“I’m at the clothing store section of the mall, duh.” Maxine sent back.
“Odd attitude,” Claire thought to herself, but shrugged it off.
Once she had gotten to the clothing section, Claire searched for Maxine, and quickly spotted her standing with someone else. Claire waved and skipped over.
“Hey Claire. This is my friend, Skylar.” Maxine spoke in a cold tone.
“Hey Skylar! I’m Claire.” She shook hands with Skylar eagerly.
“Anyways, let's go.” Maxine grumbled.
“Something was definitely up with Maxine,” Claire thought to herself.
2019, December 27th
Claire sat in her room, chewing on a few mini pretzels. Suddenly, her phone buzzed.
*BZZT!*
Out of surprise, she jumped, but then grabbed her phone. It was a text from Maxine. She quickly opened the chat to read the message.
“Hey, Claire. Meet me at the local ice cream shop, we need to talk.” Maxine’s message read.
“On my way!” Claire quickly texted back.
As she got her sweater on, she wondered what had happened, that Maxine needed to meet so suddenly.
When she arrived, she searched the area for Maxine. Finally, she spotted her at a table, licking an ice cream cone. Claire ran over quickly and sat down.
“Hey Maxine! What’s up?”
“Hi, Claire. I have urgent news.” Maxine grumbled.
“Tell me!!!” Claire said.
“Ugh. Fine. You’re out, Skylar’s in.” Maxine growled.
“Huh?!”
“Let me put this in a way you’ll understand. I. Am. Replacing. You. With. Skylar.” Maxine growled.
“What, why?” Claire asked.
“BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO OBLIVIOUS! You don’t know anything.” Maxine shouted.
People turned their heads to see what was going on, and Claire gulped.
“How am I oblivious?” Claire whined.
“YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND BODY LANGUAGE FOR ONE!” Maxine screamed. “Secondly, you’re way too friendly. Finally, I just don’t like you anymore!”
“I’m being dumped?” Claire thought to herself, “This can’t happen. Oh no.”

Claire walked down the sidewalk to Washington high. People gasped as she passed, or they just stared in awe. Why wouldn’t they? Since she had been dumped, she used her anger towards Maxine to advance in class. Not only did she have the highest grades, but she was the most popular girl in the school. As Claire walked in full strides, she heard fast footsteps behind her, and as she turned, she noticed something familiar. No, someone. As she looked, that ‘someone’ grew into focus. It was Maxine, and she was running straight towards her. As Claire ducked out of the way, Maxine stopped and turned to face her.
“O.M.G! Claire, is that youuuu? I just switched to Washington high, but I never knew you would be here!” Maxine gushed.
Claire wasn’t buying it. The Maxine she remembered was kind of rude.
“What do you want?” Claire growled.
“Well, Skylar dumped me, and I thought that since we were besties once, maybe we could be friends again?” Maxine confessed.
Claire smirked, “As if.”
Maxine’s jaw dropped, “But I was nice to you! Is this how you treat your best friend?”
“Ex best friend,” Claire corrected, “And last I checked, you dumped me.”
“WhaaaAaat? I would never!” Maxine lied.
“The deed is done. Now, I need to get to class. Next time, at least try to sound innocent,” Claire frowned, and left.
“She knows I’m the type to hold a grudge, but she probably forgot. Typical Maxine.” Claire thought to herself and shrugged.

Date: 2022-03-27 05:27 am (UTC)I'm glad Clair didn't take her back. She didn't even take responsibility or apologize for hurting her ex friend.
Well done, Yam Yam! Well done!
