“Well, girls, it’s been a total blast.” I stood up, handing my credit card to the cashier and gave them a wiggle of my fingers. “I’ll see you two tomorrow. Is the plan still to come over to my place before the party tomorrow night?”
“Of course,” Madison gushed. “Your place is the best. I’ll bring my stuff with me to school, so I can ride over with Madison. Daddy still hasn’t given me my keys back,” she huffed and pouted her lip out. “He’s such a pain in the ass, hopefully he gives in soon.” Hmm, I wonder why Madison. Could it be due to the fact that you were driving it shitfaced and ran into a tree before you even left the driveway of Zoe Michaels house. Even I wasn’t that stupid. About drinking and driving at least.
“Meh. You have Marley to chauffer you around everywhere, no need for a car,” I replied sweetly.
Madison giggled as she blew on her finished nails. “So right, Adelaide.” I watched as Marley stiffened next to Madison and gave her an icy stare.
I bet Madison really loved it, even though we all knew Marley had to scrape money together to get the piece of shit car she had, while Madison and I had brand new cars bought for us the second we turned sixteen. She tried to hide it from everyone at school, but I made sure to let it slip, by accident of course, that her father was a janitor at some factory and her mother was totally out of the picture.
I guess money couldn’t buy everything though. I had always been a little jealous of Marley for the relationship she had with her father. He seemed to actually care for his daughter and not just see her as some pawn in the game of life. Or as a complete and utter failure.
