I'm totally charismatic

The day had just begun and already I caused distress for my already unathletic body. Still running like a wild boar, I crossed the street to Ally's place.

Fatigued, exhausted and on the brink of death, I used the last bit of energy I had and frantically knocked on the door. Because I was tired I ended up leaning against it for support but soon ended up on the floor face first. I was too exhausted to really care, so I decided to hang there for a while.

"Uhmm...what are you doing?"

My curly blonde-haired friend asked in mild amusement. Well, I'm glad someone finds my humiliation comedic.

"Mphf"

"What? Use your words, Addie, I don't speak stupid"

Lifting my head off the floor I placed my chin on the mat beneath me giving my friend a not-so-friendly look in the process.

"Okay first I'm not stupid"

She scoffed giving me a look. Yeah, both she and I knew that, that wasn't true. But a girl has to stand her ground sometimes, you know?

"Fine, maybe that's not true. But it's not important at this moment."

She rolled her eyes and lightly laughed without arguing.

"Help me up?"

I asked in a baby voice, lower lip forcibly trembling as I made puppy eyes at her.

"Whatever"

Grabbing one of my outstretched hands, Alison tried her best to pull me up off the floor.

"Heave-hoe"

She repeatedly said.

"Do you mean ho like when pulling or hoe as in a bitch?"

I asked with a brow raised. She smirked at me with an evil look in her eyes.

"What do you think?"

Rolling my eyes I shook my head at her. Finally, she got me off the ground and into the sitting room, with loads of junk food displayed on the table.

"What're you watching?"

I asked throwing myself onto the couch she did the same and popped one jelly worm into her mouth simultaneously pressing play on the remote.

"Love lab"

Staring at her in mild confusion she simply stared at the TV screen. After a while, she looked at me and rolled her eyes at the look I gave her. Popping another jelly worm into her mouth she explained.

"It's a romantic comedy about a female scientist who tries to create a robot boyfriend"

Still confused she raised a brow at my expression.

"I literally just gave you the whole scope of the entire movie. You can't tell me you still don't understand!"

She said while shrugging her shoulders and rolling her eyes.

"Ally, that's not why I'm still confused. I'm confused at the fact that you're actually watching a romance movie...without being forced...alone...on a Saturday!"

Eyes cast and mouth slightly slanted down, she gave me a deadpan look as if I just asked what type of breed a hellhound was.

"You're kidding me. Out of the three of us, I'm the most romantic!"

She stated her case making me scoff and laugh at that statement

"No Ally you're not. Kat is. You are the wild card of the group, Kat's the sweet and innocent one and I'm-"

"The crazy, psychotic, idiot?"

She cut me off. Glaring at her I childishly stuck my tongue out at her giving her the middle finger.

"No,"

She reached for her soda and chips on the table.

"I was going to say charismatic"

Immediately she spat out the small bits of liquid in her mouth and came out laughing. She laughed so hard that a few streams of cold, root beer came flooding out of her nostrils. My face contorted in disgust while she remained unbothered by it.

"You...charismatic?"

She asked in-between laughter wiping away the small stream of drink with the back of her hand. Each time I tried to speak she would just let out a loud belly full of laughter. Growing fed up with her continuously making fun of me I spoke out.

"Oh shut up you freaking hyena! It's not like I'm lying-"

"You so totally are and you know it!"

"No, I'm not. I've been told numerous times that I'm very charismatic"

"Oh yeah, by who?"

She asked her laughter now dying down a bit.

"My dad"

I whispered in embarrassment. The answer did nothing but add oil to the flame and once again she started laughing. This time much harder

"Oh my gosh, your daddy told you that?!"

She laughed as I grew more embarrassed. Her face was beet red from laughter and her tears streamed down her cheeks one after the other.

"Stop it, stop laughing!"

But that didn't stop her, she continued ignoring my pleas. Getting annoyed by her constant laughter I tried covering her mouth in an attempt to shut her up. Jumping on her back I wrapped an arm around her neck and put her in a headlock. Using my other hand I reached for her mouth but she held it back.

"Stop laughing damn you!"

She didn't, she kept on laughing nonstop and I kept trying yet failing to reduce it. We wrestled on the couch as we kept on the struggle, unbeknownst to us someone entered the room

"What are you two doing?"

It was only then that we noticed the intruder. Kat stood in the middle of the hallway, confused and slightly amused by the position she found us in.

"Kat hear, hear this."

Alison spoke still laughing and struggling to keep my hand off of her mouth.

"Addison said-"

Finally, I was able to cover that damn trap hole, but the victory was short-lived as I felt a wet, slimy thing graze my fingers. Disgusted by Ally who freaking licked me, I was quick to remove my hand.

"She said she's charismatic!"

She got out as fast as she could, all in one breath. Scared by what might possibly come next I looked to Kat and found her now joining Ally in the laughter.

"What?!"

She lost all strength in her legs, ending up on the floor she hugged her stomach to ease the pain in her sides caused by her nonstop laughter.

"Oh my, my sides they, they hurt!"

Mortified that both my best friends were laughing at me, I climbed off Alison and back onto the couch. Crossing my arms and puffing my cheeks up in annoyance I waited for them to finish their harassment.

It was now three pm and finally, the two jerks I call my best friends stopped their assault. We were now watching a horror comedic film, nicely wrapped in our respective blankets we had at each other's place.

Ally and Kat were spooned together. If you could call Alison using Kat's boob as a pillow spooning then yeah, they were spooning. I on the other hand was seated on the far corner of the couch, away from my so-called friends.

My arms were still crossed and my cheeks still withheld air. But the pain was starting to get to me so I deflated them and settled on glaring at the TV. As if it's the one that laughed at and embarrassed me.

"Are you seriously still moping Addie?"

Ally asked with a brow raised, loudly munching on a pack of Cheetos. I remained silent at the question and proceeded with glaring at the TV.

"Come on Addie, we're sorry okay?"

Kat tried to apologize but I wasn't having it. If they wanted to laugh so much at me then I wanted to mope the rest of the day.

"Addison stop being a weasel!"

"Ally!"

Kat smacked her on the head then turned to me with a soft look in her eyes.

"We're really sorry Addie, please?"

Squinting her eyes she nudged at Ally's side with her sharp elbow, jagging her head in my direction. Alison rolled her eyes in annoyance but caved in anyway.

"Please Addison, please forgive your best friends in the whole wide world for being complete and utter dodo heads who do nothing but squawk like idiots at night!"

Trying my best to hold in the laughter it came sprawling out, tears soon joined the laugh and I was far more than amused that my friend was desperate enough to call herself a dodo head.

"You got me at idiots"

They looked at each other then back to me and soon joined in on the laughter. I forgave their trespasses and they admitted to being fools. We reconciled and once again like best friends we sat closely together and went back to watching and criticizing the movie.

Later during the movie, I felt light vibrations coming from underneath my bum. Sitting up I grabbed the small device that was conveniently placed between my cheeks and looked at the light screen that lit up in the dim room. On it in large bold letters were the words I had been dreading to see for the entirety of my day.

I was determined to not go back home, for there was no way in hell I was just going to act like everything was peachy when it was anything but! Ignoring the text message I put all my concentration on the vampire glimmering in daylight.

Why the hell did girls even fall for these guys? I mean they're practically dead and suck blood! That's damn disgusting. Let's not even mention werewolves, those things are damn scary as hell. I mean they eat people whole! And girls call that irresistible? I call it cannibalism, period.

*Brriiingg*

The sound of a phone ringing interrupted the silence surrounding the room. Looking at Kat I saw her retrieving her phone from her back pocket. On her screen written in bold letters was the name Mr Miller. My eyes widened as she was about to answer the call. Without thinking I smacked it right out of her hand.

The impact caused it to fly at least five feet in the air, Kat's eyes widened out of fear while Ally had her mouth agape but not in worry. She seemed to be that character in a movie where they stuff their faces with food while everyone else goes like, "Oh no!".

Miraculously, her device landed softly on the couch opposite where we sat. Both of us released a breath of relief. Kat's louder than mine. She looked at me and before I could blink she was off her seat and on top of me. Her hands around my neck choking the life outta me.

"Why.The.Hell.Would.You. Do. That?!"

She phrased each word between her chokes. Alison watched in amusement, slowly nibbling on popcorn. She watched her best friend choke her other best friend with mild enthusiasm. What type of friend does that?

"Uhm showy"

I tried to apologize but it was difficult with tiny hands placing so much pressure on my neck and trying to do the Reaper's work for him. It wasn't my time yet Kat! Giving up on the trivial task, cause you couldn't kill the unkillable, she pushed off me and stood up next to the couch.

"Alright spill, why did ya do that?"

Smoothing down my shirt I looked to the side, avoiding eye contact. Usually, this would tell her off but she was not letting it go. Not when her precious phone was involved.

"Addison if you don't willingly talk I will choke you with my belt. I swear."

She was serious. I could see it in her eyes. Gulping a large bile down my throat, sweat accumulated at the tips of my hairline.

"It's...Uhm...you see-"

"Come on dude just spill it!"

Ally shouted in irritation not a very patient person who will allow me enough time to come up with a lie. I mean I needed at least five minutes to come up with something Alison!

"Okay okay...hah. It's about Gloria."

Both my friends' faces morphed into confusion. They looked at each other and then back at me.

"What do you mean, I don't get it?"

"Yeah I thought you loved Gloria"

They asked both clearly confused at my sudden problem with the Latino.

"That's just it. I don't have a problem with her...just her sons."

"Oh yeah, you did say she had three boys. Weren't you excited about that?"

Alison wondered aloud with Kat nodding in agreement. I sighed once more preparing to say the words that I, myself had been struggling to accept.

"The thing is they're-"

Interrupted by a small voice coming from the phone I smacked out of Kat's hand, my eyes widened in horror. Realising that I accidentally pressed answer on the phone when I knocked it out of her hand I scrambled towards the noise looking for the phone.

Taking a peek at the screen I saw that indeed my dad was on the other side still talking through it. Before Kat could grab it out of my hand I quickly pressed the red button and dropped the line.

"Addison, that was your dad! What're you thinking?"

Kat cried out in panic and once again I saw anger slowly bubbling up within her eyes.

"Dude, seriously what's with you? You can't simply just do something like th-"

"My stepbrothers are the three guys I confessed to and got rejected by!"

I blurted out in one breath. As soon as those words were said both girls grew silent. Once again they looked at each other telepathically asking if what I said was real. Unfortunately, it was. Looking back at me, Kat was the first to speak.

"I'll go order more food"

"And I'll prepare the sleeping bags. You're sleeping over."

It was a command and I wasn't complaining. At this point getting torn apart by a werewolf cannibal seemed rather better than going home.
