Things Just Got Better by Patricia Nelcy (little bear else holmelund minarik txt) 📖

of guy 2 roam far. He is probably gonna go 4 a friend. Cuz when cara was dating him, he pretended that he didn’t like jenny, but that was only 2 throw cara off track u know. So she woodnt think he liked her.
I blinked at the screen twice. Or maybe three, four, or ten times. I remembered him acting as if he didn’t want violet walking with us, but he really is going to start flirting with her. I looked over to violet who was talking with Pete, the cute English boy. I never thought he was cute because the English accent made my stomach turn. Violet was major blushing and I could tell because everything he said to her, she turned away to laugh which meant that she didn’t want him to her rosy pink cheeks getting red. I could tell she didn’t like Vincent. Good. not that I am jealous or anything, it’s just I don’t want her to go backstabbing me and then we stop being friends then the world stops revolving and I have to move to another county and change my name, age, hair color, everything and find a new best friend. Ok, I’m over exaggerating little bit. The world wont stop moving but I’ll probably have to move and all that stuff you know. Because when your best friend takes your soon to-be ex without your permission and they pretend as if nothing happened, it is The most embarrassing thing that will ever happen to you. Too many embarrassing things in my life to go suffer another one you know.


Chapter 4

When the bell rang, I grabbed my purse and walked over to violet. Before I could get to violet, Amanda stopped me and smiled. I smiled back at her.
“I know we aren’t the best of friends but I need you to do me a favor.” Amanda whispered in my ear. I nodded to tell her yeah and she started telling me what she wanted.
“I want you to talk to me as we were the best friends when Vincent comes towards you ok. And laugh. Don’t forget to laugh.’ She told me now staring in my eyes. I nodded again then went towards violet who was still talking to Pete, listening to him intently. She then pulled out her phone and wrote his number (I think) down. I stood there for a few seconds waiting for them to exchange a few words. When they were done, he hugged her tightly, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and told her bye. She waved bye back then squealed to herself. I smiled then grabbed her arm and whispered to her what I got from Cara and Amanda. She opened her mouth In shock until I closed it for her and opened her mouth again but I closed it for her, again.
“Why would he want me?” violet asked pointing to her chest. I shrugged then turned to Amanda and tugged violet along. Amanda smiled at both Violet and me and putts her arm in mine’s and we walk all three of us down the hall. I see Vincent down at the end of the hall shaking his shaggy hair while laughing at what some kid said. He turned and saw me and when he saw Amanda; his face went from a smile to frown. He raised his eyebrows in confusion and walked fast towards us. He got to us before we could even get to him. He looked from Amanda to Violet.
“Uh, I thought you couldn’t stand the twig.” He said with disgust while sizing Amanda up and down. Amanda flipped her strawberry blonde hair.
“Aww Vincent, really? A nickname? I feel so special.” She said with fake sympathy with her arms across her chest as if she really cared about what nickname Vincent gives her. Vincent rolled his eyes. He pulled me towards him and I pushed away.
“Vincent oh majestic roamer, I know what you are up to you little rounder!” I told him squinting my nose and pretending to take his nose. Amanda and Violet snickered. I crossed my arms and stared at him. He looked back at me with one eyebrow raised.
“I know about your little stunt Vincent. I know that you don’t stay with one girl but you move on to others and I seriously don’t want to be that girl. I’m sorry Vincent, but I think we are going to have to break this off.” I told him with an apologetic look on my face. His face flushed a deep shade of red and he tightened his jaw. Amanda said “haw-haw!”
