"At least you get to spend time with him" I earned a glare from Bam and corrected myself "I meant you get to thank him properly"

She muttered something that I couldn't catch.

"How would you bear that cat?" she asked me after some time.

And by 'that cat', she meant Pricilla. Pricilla Auvry Montana is the school's most popular girl, she is pampered by almost all the teachers and more or less rules the school 'since her parents bribe the school by giving them stuff'.

Fortunately for Bam, she gets to partner with Generous. I could see how excited Filet looked. But I get the school oppressor, Pricilla!

You would have seen the pure horror I had on my face, even Bam could feel what I am likely to face. She was as terrified as I was.

I am making Auvry sound like this evil witch that possesses people to wash her underwear and all, she isn't that bad. Just have a few issues.

"I don't know, but the LORD helps me"

"Amen to that"

We were silent for some time before I spoke.

"She isn't that bad you know?" I said.

Bamrik gave me a funny look and laughed.

"Says who? She is the worst, she is anything but not bad, that girl believes she is above everyone, especially our so-called teachers. Don't you see how they pamper her? Like she is queen bee" Bam said flipping her hair in the way Pricilla does "Like who could blame them? They've taken enough bribe to sustain them for a lifetime," she said angrily.

I honestly don't know what worked up my bestie walking beside me, but Bam talking like this about someone is absolutely strange. Bamrik is a carefree kind of girl, she gives no damn about nobody, and she talking like this is really getting me worried.

"Well sorry, is there something I don't know?" I asked.

"No, weirdo" she replies.

We kept on walking to her pink Volkswagen 2013 edition, I am guessing that's the model of the car. She got it for her sixteenth birthday which was last month. I swear I almost went deaf with just how much my girl was screaming, she was crying, laughing screaming, jumping, and did her weird happy dance.

Thank GOD I was there or she would have ruined her party, people still think she needs to be checked but who wants to tell her in the face? No one! Even I can't. Well, that apart... what was going on before this silence? Oh yeah, Pricilla.

"I hope I get a black BMW by next year which will be my sixteenth," I said when we were already settled in her car.

"Yeah, I hope so and you'll understand just how I felt when I got my baby" she kissed the steering wheel.

I just rolled my eyes and wore my seatbelt so did she, she pulled out of the driveway, and off we went out of the school gate, we had plans to go shopping and after that we a sleepover at my place. I would have just said we would go home after today's activity because like I said my home is hers.

"My parents will be back by next week," she said suddenly after moments of silence.

"Oh that's great, what day will that be then?" I asked her.

"I really don't know but it is next week" she pulled up at the mall's parking lot.

We both came down from the car and walked towards the entrance of the mall, when we got in we head for the female section and started going through clothes after clothes.

"I can't wait for them to come, it will be nice to have them around," I said as I went through rack after rack of dress "What do you think? Red or black?" I asked as I held out two dresses that had the same halter neck and flared skirt but in different colors.

"Red, and what is so exciting about having my parents around?" she asked after helping me pick a dress.

I stopped to look at her, placing my hands on my hips.

"Aren't you happy your parents are going to be back home? It's been a long, long time since they came back here from their constant trips here and there. And when I said long I mean really long" I widened my eyes a bit to just show how long it was.

"Yeah, yeah" she went to the underwear section. "I need to change my underwear" she states "All of them" she looked at me holding wine lace panties.

"Then get to it, I need some tops and trousers" I left her to go to where all the tops and shirts are kept.

"I know don't tell me what to do," she said.

I rolled my eyes and went ahead to check out some cool tops, I saw a sweatshirt that had shorts in the same color, it's like a set. There was another set in red while this one I am looking at is in black, I decided to pick them for me and Bam, we could wear the sweatshirt with black leggings to the concert that is happening at the end of the month.

I picked the two sets and went over to the underwear section where I left Bam "Hey Bam, what do you think?" I asked when I got to her, she had her back to me so she turned to look at me and I saw empty granola nylon and an almost finished granola bar halfway to her mouth.

"Bam seriously? Snacks aren't allowed here" I went directly to her to snatch the bar from her but she was quick to react and put them all in her mouth "Really?" I asked

I know i shouldn't be the least surprised Bam got a snack here with her, come on she is Bamrik Estella Roger the girl that could smuggle anything food to any place no matter the restriction, and the fact she hasn't be caught baffles me.

I remember taking just a small bucket of ice cream into the cinema once and got caught, thank GOD I was not banned, but she took in a bag full of popcorn and she wasn't caught. She is one of a kind I would say.

"I got hungry" was her reply.

"That is why there is a food spot over there I point to where people were dining.

She just shrugs and continues her shopping after helping choose, we did have fun and I was glad she paid because I am getting broke these days.
