MEAN GIRLZ

ENYA: You are not going to believe it!🙀

FAYE: What?

ENYA: Not what, who. Guess who Anna was talking today between first and second period?

ENYA: 💋💋💋

JEMMA: DISH!!!!

ENYA: Meet me after class at the west girls’ washroom. You are going to die!

********

FAYE: I can’t believe she was talking to Jarod. She knows I like him! 🐍🐍

ENYA: Such a back stabbing bih!

FAYE: I thought she was my friend!

KAYLA: They were just talking.

FAYE: YEAH! To each other.

JEMMA: Not cool, not cool at all.

FAYE: She is dead to me. As of today.

*****

FAYE: OMG! Did you see what she was wearing?

JEMMA: Ew! Ugly.🤮

ENYA: Did she borrow that shirt from her grandma?

JEMMA: Nah. Even a Grannie wouldn’t wear something that ugly.

FAYE: I literally died when she came over to talk to me. Cringe! 😬

JEMMA: I know! I just walked away!

*****

FAYE: God! She’s so clueless! She asked me if I wanted to walk to the store at lunch. Uh, NOOOOOO!

JEMMA: She thought she could sit with us! Tina put her backpack on the chair, so there was nowhere for her to plant her basic ass.

ENYA: I tried not to laugh, but seriously, she’s too tragic.

JEMMA: Yeah, she should change her name to Tragic Anna!

ENYA: Bahahaha!

KAYLA: Why so harsh?

FAYE: Please! You saw her. Stupid clothes, stupid hair, stupid face.

FAYE: AND she talked to Jarod! DTM!

KAYLA: Still harsh. Why?

ENYA: If you know, you know.

*****

JEMMA: Shiiiiit. I SOOOOO bombed that test. I’m gonna be on house arrest for the rest of my life!

ENYA: I thought you studied????? That’s why you couldn’t come out last night???

JEMMA: IDNWTFTTY. I tried to study. Science is stupid!

FAYE: Netflix?

JEMMA: Ya. Brain rot. Real Housewives. Shiiiittt!

FAYE: Which one?

JEMMA: All of them.

FAYE: Damn girl!

KAYLA: Shoulda kept Tragic Anna in the friend group. She’s smart AF.

JEMMA: I’d rather fail than be friends with that skanky bitch.

KAYLA: WHOA! Super harsh.

ENYA: IYKYK. And you don’t know.

KAYLA: Thanks. Got it.

——- KAYLA R. HAS LEFT THE GROUP ——-

JEMMA: Seriously? Did you have to piss her off, too?

ENYA: What?

JEMMA: You don’t have to pop off to everyone.

ENYA: She’s a beige flag. No great loss.

*****

JEMMA: EFF, EFF, EFF. Ms. Fellows put Tragic Anna in my group.

ENYA: She’s smart. Get her to do all the work. Boom! An “A” without trying. Game plan!

JEMMA: I still have to look at her stupid face.

FAYE: ☹️Sad face.

JEMMA: WTF? Why does the universe hate me?

ENYA: Way! I saw her when The Momster dropped me off.

FAYE: Shit! I wanna car.

JEMMA: Ya. When pigs fly. You need a licence first.

FAYE: Sooo not fair.

JEMMA: Ask Kayla if it’s Anna’s.

ENYA: You ask her.

FAYE: Probably just her ‘rents lending it to her. Poser.

ENYA: Ya, but a poser with wheels.

FAYE: WTF! I deserve a car more than that chuzz. I hate her.

JEMMA: Tragic Anna says I have to do my share of the project. 💩 That means I’ve got to do some of the work. I sooooooo hate her stupid face.

ENYA: Just say no. She’ll do it all so that she gets a good mark. Win!

FAYE: Just tell her that you don’t have time. She’ll cave. She always does.
