Part II

By five o clock, the girls were wiped. It was time to go upstairs and get some food. “What do you want?” Chelsea asked as she opened the cabinets. Unfortunately, they were empty. There was virtually no food in the house. Chelsea looked around in the refrigerator, but all she found was a 12-pack of Coke.

“I kinda feel like eating out,” said Sarah. She was picking at her nails and leaning against the wall next to Chelsea, completely oblivious.

“Good,” Chelsea said, “Because we don’t have any food. What would you say to…” She paused a minute, deep in thought, as if she were making the most important decision of her life, “Ernie’s? We could quick get a bite there, then check out the movie in town.”

“Ernie’s and town are nowhere near each other. Let’s try someplace else. I don’t want to miss the movie, though, so let’s figure it out on the way,” was Sarah’s practical response. She was always the more reasonable of the two.

Chelsea made a face, “Okay, but if we end up eating on the hood of your car in front of the gas station like those pathetic kids around here, we won’t be friends anymore.” With that, the girls hopped into the car once again and drove into town.

    p.s. If I make a "writing-only" blog for myself, will you forgive my copycat-ness?? And if I make it private but invite you to follow, will you join (even among my followers (hahahaha it sounds like a cult) there are some writings I'd rather only have certain people read)???
