Finding Myself: Chapter 12

by Malika in Virginia

Chapter 12

I decided to call Anna because I needed someone to talk to.

Anna: Hello?

Me: I hate Katie!

Anna: I know, who doesn’t?

Me: Josh…gahhh! I hate Katie!!

Anna: He probably is going to hate her after a while

Me: Ugh I hate Katie

Anna: Me too

Me: I hate Katie so much

Anna: Yeah, everyone does after a while

Me: I hate Katie

Anna: I know me too

Me: I hate her so much! And I hate myself too!

Anna: Why?

Me: Because I wanted to be friends with her. Ugh! I hate Katie!

Anna: Why did you want to be friends with her? You already got friends

Me: I know but I wanted to be popular……..I hate her!

Anna: So being popular is important than your true friends?

I thought about it for a minute.

Me: No…I hate Katie! I hate her!

Anna: You know, you already said I hate Katie like millions of times but never told why

Me: Well I hate her for I don’t know---I hate her for being popular, I hate her for her looks, I hate her for being a slut, I hate her for liking Josh, I hate her for telling Josh everything, I just hate her

Anna: I see…

Me: Now because of Katie who I hate, Josh blocked me from everything

Anna: Who cares…???

Me: Me…and probably Katie. I bet she is happy now. I hate her!

Anna: So what is Josh mad at?

Me: Well I lied to Katie and said I was ‘using Josh’ to be popular and get all the boys. I just wanted to be popular. I just wanted to have more friends. But then she recorded it I guess and showed it to him. I HATE KATIE!

On the other line, I heard Anna sigh.

Anna: I know, you said you hated her in every sentence

Me: Well it’s true! I hate her!

Anna: See…? Well I gotta go. Swimming lessons are calling me.

Me: Ok…bye

Anna: Peace

Me: I hate her so much……(I mumbled)
