Chapter 34

"This is why they say, never bite the finger that feeds you. Now that you insulted them, what are we going to do?" I asked her. "Should we go and apologize ?"

"I'd rather starve to death," she spat out.

"I'll buy your coffin," I stated.

"And I'll sponsor your funeral," she replied.

We walked back to the counter. Immediately Mabel and Diva saw us, they started shooting us with their sniper eyes.

"You better tell them to stop staring at us, Sophia, or I will take my rage out on them," Nicky yelled.

"Come on, girl, ignore them. Also, let's just have some cookies, " I told her. She nodded in agreement.

I went to the snack shelf and picked two packs of cookies and tossed her one. Mabel turned to me and asked.

"So you think you are more beautiful than I am?"

"Umh, she doesn't think, she knows that she's more beautiful than you are," Nicky replied.

"Well, I guess the white chimp wasn't mistaken when he said he wanted to talk to you, because it appears he wants someone on his level, the ugly one," Mabel explained. She and Diva giggled and left.

"These girls are shameless f00ls," Nicky spat out. She drew closer to me with a smirk. "But wait a sec, the white dude wants to talk to you, O M wow, he must be a secret admirer, go talk to him, " she cooed.

"Are you crazy?.... I can't just walk over there and talk to someone I don't know, and besides, I thought you wanted Bennett and I to be an 'us'" I asked her.

"Yea, but a single girl's gotta have fun. Also, you and Bennett are already a thing without you knowing, so that mission is accomplished, but having a little fun won't hurt," she nudged me.

"Thanks but no thanks, also, the way that guy looked at me when we came was creepy, I don't trust him," I stated.

"You can't trust someone you don't know, Sophia."

"Scratch that, Nicky. Let's work please, I don't have time for creepy things and creepy people" I brushed her off, she shrugged and ate the last bite of her cookies.

Another bell rang from another table.

"I'll go" Nicky informed, she jovially picked up her palm slip and skipped off, crazy girl, I just love her.

We worked peacefully that day although Mabel and Diva tried to get on our nerves, but we are used to their troubles, it no longer bothers us, but at times, Nicky will just give them a little pepper.

I still can't believe my breakup with Bryan is not bothering me even after I left the apartment. I guess I never really loved him. Maybe I only lusted after him because he got me the apartment and was my hero in my time of need. Anyway, he is in my past now. But how did Nicky get to know about his escapades with Mabel and Diva.

As we were trekking to the bus stop, I asked her.
