I walk into my living room and my dad is sitting cross legged in the arm chair. Staring at me.

"So who are your friends?" he asks in a high voice, but I don't think he's trying to.

"You already met them" I say trying to avoid this conversation.

"Yeah but are they nice?" he asks

"They are very nice"

"Well you just tell me if thy do anything mean" he says getting up

"I have to go call Matt and Ali" I say to him

"'K" he says. I walk to my room and open my cell phone, and dial Ali's number. I wait for her to pick up, and when she does I have to pull it away from my ear when she yells.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"

"I-"

"YOU COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR ALL I KNOW!"

"Calm-"

"YOU DIDN'T CALL ME OR MATT!"

"Matt and me-"

This goes on for about ten minutes before she calms down.

"Look I'm sorry I've been busy" I say

"Doing what?" she asks

"Well believe it or not I made friends" I say happily

"Oh who are they?"

"Danny and Casey and Lizzy and Izzy" I say in a sing-song voice

"…..two guyssss?" she says, and I can almost feel her creepy smile through the phone

"No. don't you even start" I say

Ignoring me she says "What are they liiiikeee?"

"Casey I think is crazy and Danny is an anime nerd" I say keeping my answers short

"Are they sexy" she says in a sultry voice, and I blush. "Does my little Natty-saurus wanna-"

"Ok stop, stop please" I say blushing furiously "I don't think of them like that…..god"

"Think of them like what" she says feigning ignorance "Just what are you implying Nat?" I face palm and sigh

"God da-"I begin

"Swear jar" she says

"YOU SWEAR MORE THAN I DO!" I yell

"Well I never" she says, I rub my eyes.

"How's Matt?" I ask

"Well he's fine" she says "He got a girlfriend"

"Oooooh really?" I say interested "Who is it?"

"Zoe James" she says and I make a disgusted sound

"Her?" I say

"Yeah I KNOW right" she says "I mean I will support him always because he's my best friend but I cannot stand her" I think of Zoe. She has long black hair and blue eyes, but she's really short and kind of a jerk. So we don't talk to her.

"How did they get together?" I ask curious

"Well they both had a partner project and they were partnered together and apparently she's nice to him, but still a jerk to everyone else including me" she says irritated

"Oh? And he hasn't dumped her for being rude to you?" I ask

"Nope because he's too busy with his Zoe to listen to me" she says

"Oh I will END him!" I yell through the phone "Intervention time!"

"Yes!" she says "Sound the war horn!" she says in an accent, and I laugh.

"But seriously I'm going to call him and yell at him" I say hanging up. Two seconds later Ali is calling again. "Hello" I answer

"DID YOU JUST HANG UP ON ME?!"

"Yes, I'm going to call Matt now" I say

"Fine, I'll talk to you later" she says hanging up. I dial Matt's number and wait for him to pick up.

"Hiiii Natty Flakes!" he says using one of the many nicknames he's given me

"Hey" I say

"So what's up with you?" he asks me

"Aaaaah nuthin much I made a few friends" I say to him

"Oh? Who are they?" he asks

"Danny, Casey, Lizzy, and Izzy" I say

"Guys?" he says and I detect concern

"You too?" I ask "Ali didn't even care about my friends that are girls" I say to him

"Well honey were just trying to keep you safe" he says

"So about you and Zoe" I say changing the subject

"Did Ali tell you?" he asks

"Yes, what would possibly make you date her?" I ask

"She's actually pretty nice" he said "She's not as bad as you two think"

"Well Ali says Zoe is still mean to her" I say

"She never told me-"

"And that you're spending so much time with her that she doesn't have the chance too" I say

"Really?" he asks

"Yup"

"I have to call her"

"Yes" I say "Bye-Bye" I hang up. I sigh and roll over on my bed. I pull out the DVD that Danny lent me, and play it on my TV. I look under my bed and grab my anime food bag. I open it up and pull out my pocky and a can of pop. I marathon the show until my dad calls me for dinner. When I walk out I just sit at the table face down because what I just watched had so many feels.

"Are you ok?" my dad asks

"Yeah…yeah I'm fine" I say "Just….anime"

"Ah…I won't ask" he says giving me a plate of pork chops and green beans. When I finish dinner I go back to my room and continue watching the anime. Several hours later I go to sleep disgusted at the ending.

"Stupid anime with its stupid endings and the stupid stupidness" I mutter to myself as I fall into unconsciousness.
