"Wow, I so am proud of you. You sure gave her what she truly deserves, I really wished I was there for dramatic effect or sound" Bam said excitedly and I looked at her with an eyebrow raised.

Here I am burning with embarrassment by my actions and there she is rooting for me.

Should I be happy she is my bestie? Yeah, I love her still.

I had totally forgotten how mad I was at her for how rude she was to Filet and went to her immediately after the bell rang for the close of school. She was quite startled with how I grabbed her and made sure we rushed out of the school premises.

I made her forget her homework in her locker but I promised to help her with it tomorrow... that would be if I would go tomorrow.

When we left school, she was able to recover from the shock I might have put her in and kept asking what the matter was. I didn't say anything till we got to my home and to my room where I locked the room and rushed in my bathroom to ease myself before coming out and telling her everything that happened.

She was all jumpy and giddy as I explained everything and would ask how red Jenny turned when I put her in her place.

I would hide my face in embarrassment as I explained and so wished the ground could consume me this instance. I couldn't believe I could do that or say any of the things I said to her.

"I couldn't help myself when I realized she collected it from Gifthand because she wanted to belong or prove something that isn't worthwhile," I explained to her and hid my face again but she was the exact opposite as she jumps in her seat.

"Maybe Gifthand gifted it to her" she joked

"More like she gifted herself with Gifthand," I said and Bam burst out laughing.

"Sorry, I know I shouldn't have laughed but it sounded so funny" she giggled before she stopped due to the glare I threw her way.

"Cheer up girl, at least you fought for his and his sister's rights. They would be definitely happy" she nudged me hard on my sides and I pushed her then rubbed my assaulted side.

"First ouch but I think you are right. I did feel good that I was able to return the tickets and passes to him, you should have seen the look of joy that spread through his face." I explained and she nods.

"He also told me his sister would be so happy or so," I told her and she grinned at me.

"Look who became a hero for the defenseless, you baby girl," she said and I rolled my eyes then looked up at my switched-off television.

"Now that we have talked about what happened and how you were able to restore the happiness of those lads" she began and I looked at her already knowing what she was going to say to me so I covered my ears.

Like that would stop me from hearing what she was going to say to me right now but it couldn't because it entered and instead of it going through my other ear so I can play deaf, it stuck in my head and kept asking me over and over again.

When I didn't hear her speak, I turned to look at her, and in a flash, she grabbed my wrists and pulled them down before letting her lips form her famous evil grin.

I will never be able to hear the end of this.

"What did you say he said to you again? Monalisa" she said in a weird deep voice and I was this close to knocking the side of her head.

"Call me that one mo-"

"Monalisa, tell me how did he say it?" she wriggled her brows and I wanted to gag.

This girl would kill me one day. One day!

"Did he look at you straight in the eye and wink before saying..." she paused for dramatic effect "Mona" she said in a very terrible unknown accent and I wanted to smack her face for real.

"You have two seconds to let me go, or I w-"

"Will what?" she said before releasing her hold on me.

I crossed my arms and glared at her but she ignored me and stood up from the cozy bed we made from two blankets, four pillows and a comforter on the floor then retired to the bed as she looked down at me.

"If you don't tell me, who would you tell?" she asked me and I rolled my eyes then stood up to sit beside her.

"No one" I answered and sighed with my shoulders slouching.

She is right, I can tell my parents but she deserves to know when things like this happen in my life and when I am somehow crushing on this really cute guy who reduced my crush for him from eighty-seven to like minus thirty-nine.

I am lying but calling me by my least favorite name isn't cool in any way. I am still trying to get mum's obsession of calling me that when she wants to make her points clear and he suddenly remembers me as Mona

" 'Hey Mona' my food" I uncross my arms and scoffed.

"I am right here for you to tell"

"Fine, I find Jeremy Dallas cute and adorable not until he decides to call me Mona... like Monalisa, Mona- Monalisa" I threw my arms up in the air and huff out an annoyed breath.

"Named after your great-grandmother sister," Bam said and I glared at her.

"What? The name isn't as bad as you claim it is"

"Andrea is my name and I didn't ask to be named after an ancestor who died a long time ago," I said frustrated.

"I really feel the name isn't what is getting you worked up now, there is something else." she sat Indian style and faced me then prompted me to do the same which I complied with before she took my hands in hers.

"What is stressing this chicken brain of yours?"

"I don't know"

"Do you still feel bad for talking to Jenny in that matter?"

I nod my head and she looked away from me in thought then sighed and shrugged her shoulders.

"As much as I don't want to say this or make you do this, I need my friend sane and okay for me and herself so what I came up with is that you will have to go apologies to her for how you spoke to her today then maybe you will start feeling better"

"Maybe that is the only way"

"I thought you were going to object to it?" she raised an eyebrow and I raised one too.

"I need my peace of mind and I wouldn't have gotten that angry if you had not gotten me pissed off earlier," I told her.

"I already apologized to Fillet and we both agreed on a light lunch on Saturday"

"Anything food isn't light for you" I commented and she rolled her eyes.

"I am happy and pleased, so I think I am getting more calm and cool now," I told her and she shook her head then went to sit back in our made-up bed.

I followed suit and placed my hand on her shoulder.

"Give the boy a chance to breathe and let us see if it would turn out good like you might want" I advised her and she nod her head then yawned and lay down to sleep.

Jeremy is and will still be in my head.
