Story Excerpt: Medio Cocos - Nanowrimo 2013

Session 003

I saw my ex best friend at a fast food restaurant, my body filled with rage that I smacked her with a tray across the face. Nicolas pulled me away. No more chicken for me”

Dr. Salvador just sighed and sometimes believed he wished I no longer spoke.

She didn’t say anything except puta, puta, puta. That’s Spanish for bitch. The tray did hit her pretty hard”

Turning his head to the side he continued writing.

Why ex best friend?”

What?”

You referred to her as ex best friend not as friend you no longer hang out with”

She made lies about me, told everyone I was psychotic and that I wanted her pathetic life. Tried to take everything from me and tried stealing my life. It was her purpose to drag everyone down with her. One time Alice and I went downtown without her … she called us feigning a suicide attempt. Nothing but lies from her mouth.”

Do you hate her?”

No. Hate means I had to love her at one point. If she was on fire though, all the water would be in my stomach. Besides Nicolas and Alice made be her friend, biggest mistake in my life!”

Does she have a name?”

Rosa”

=

Rosa this is Ysabel my friend” Alice said as Rosa looked me over. She judged my messy bun, oversized grey hoodie and jeans. The black Nikes on my feet with the bright neon yellow laces.

We have Math and English together right?” 

Yeah” I had trailed off because Nicolas was walking towards me with Leo. Nicolas gave me a dimple smile before wiggling his eyebrows. His face faltered as he got closer while Leo avoided the other girls. They both hugged me awkwardly and mumbled bye to the two girls.

You’re friends with them?” Rosa scoffed and rolled her eyes. Which were covered in heavy black eyeliner. Taking a good look everything she was wearing was draped in black, from her head to her toes. Short with choppy black hair and her face caked on with unnecessary amount of concealer.

Nicolas has been my neighbor since 4th Grade plus he is my best friend.”

He is my ex”

Oh. Sorry but not really.”

Time to go Ro we promised we would meet everyone at the bus stop. See ya Ysabel”

Bye Ali call me. Bye Rosa”.

Rosa didn't smile she just stared before walking away from me.

I should of known.
