A-Z CHALLENGE (hosted by a variety of writers) : April's task is to write something, anything using the letters of the alphabet as an inspiration for each post. In honor of one of my favorite authors, I will use Sue Grafton's title set-up: O is for... P is for... Q is for... (and so on.).
Abby was a nice girl gone sort of mean. And uncaring. Not intentionally but because her best friend lied to her. Abby had money. Money she had been saving to use toward an investment in a new purse. But. Her best friend took it. Anna took the money. And ran. When Abby asked her friend about it. Did she know what happened to it? Anna just said no.
But, then along came another friend. Not the best one, but the Second Runner Up, and she said that Anna did indeed take the money. Second Runner Up friend saw her reach in and take it. Take it and shove it into her front pocket.
Anna cried. Said no I didn't. But Abby didn't believe her. She believed her best friend just lied. To her face. And that made her angry.
So she started to hang out with Second Runner Up. Spent time talking with her. Telling her how much she didn't like Anna anymore. That she didn't trust her.
Abby and Second Runner Up told everyone. And everyone told everyone. So now, everyone didn't want to talk to Anna. Anymore. They didn't trust her.
So, Anna sat alone. And as she pulled the stolen money from her pocket she wondered if she'd be someone's best friend. Again. Some day. Soon.
