mall?
SnowAngel:
zoe already offered, and i turned her down. wanna know why?
mad maddie:
why?
SnowAngel:
cuz i didn’t WANT to go valentine’s day shopping with zoe. i didn’t want to hear her go on and on about how in love she is when … when …
mad maddie:
when what?
mad maddie:
once and for all, just say it.
SnowAngel:
*turns into a tiny person with a very tiny voice*
SnowAngel:
when maybe i’m not. in love. *crawls under a rock and puts hands over head*
mad maddie:
bravo, angela. clap, clap, clap.
SnowAngel:
you’ve known it all along, i know. and maybe i have too—or maybe it took seeing how truly head-over-heels zoe is to realize how un-head-over-heels i am.
SnowAngel:
know what the worst part is? all this tension over not feeling in love with logan is making it hard to even have fun with him. when normally i DO have fun with him, lots of fun. just … more as a friend.
mad maddie:
i’m soooo proud of you, a. if i were there, i’d give you a shiny gold star.
SnowAngel:
the whole stupid rumor thing didn’t help either, cuz it was like everybody could c what i couldn’t. notthat i was lusting after doug, just that i WASN’T lusting after logan.
SnowAngel:
altho i think it finally died out, don’t you? the rumors?
mad maddie:
uh …
SnowAngel:
ok, if you have to say “uh,” don’t answer.
SnowAngel:
but about logan—what am i gonna do?just this afternoon he left a cherry mash for me in my locker, cuz he knows they’re my fave. he’s such a good guy. i don’t wanna hurt him!!!
mad maddie:
you gotta cut him loose, angela. you have no choice.
SnowAngel:
but not the day before valentine’s day! then i’d be just like
SnowAngel:
OMG, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU! MARGO PEDERSEN BROKE UP WITH IAN!!!
mad maddie:
whoa, tone it down
SnowAngel:
isn’t that great? *happy dance, happy dance*
SnowAngel:
now you two can get back together!
mad maddie:
angela, yr un-frickin-believable! one second yr moaning and groaning over logan, and the next yr jumping up and down about ian?
SnowAngel:
i feel better now that i’ve gotten the logan thing off my chest.
SnowAngel:
*pats self in the chesty region* i do! i feel so much better!
mad maddie:
well lucky u, but what about logan?
SnowAngel:
i guess yr right—i have to break up with him. just not today, that would be heartless.
SnowAngel:
altho it prolly won’t be as awful as i think. cuz when one person isn’t into it anymore, usually the other person isn’t either, right?
mad maddie:
no
SnowAngel:
what do you mean, no? the correct answer is yes, you blockhead!
mad maddie:
uh huh. that’s why there’s so many songs about broken hearts. that’s why ppl shoot their exes out of jealousy. cuz everyone’s like, “oh, you want to break up? great! no problem! that’s what i want too!”
SnowAngel:
oh shut up *scowls at friend*
SnowAngel:
i can’t believe you suggested that logan might SHOOT me!
mad maddie:
i did not just suggest
mad maddie:
grrrr
SnowAngel:
logan is not going to shoot me. logan might be sad, but logan’ll be ok, and ultimately he’ll be better off with someone who appreciates him.
SnowAngel:
and now enuff about logan. aren’t you excited to hear about ian?
mad maddie:
angela … don’t, k?
SnowAngel:
but why????
mad maddie:
i know it’s this huge fantasy of yours that ian and i get back together, but whatever we once had … it was a long time ago.
SnowAngel:
but
mad maddie:
shush
SnowAngel:
if only you’d
mad maddie:
LET. IT. GO.
SnowAngel:
is it cuz of vincent?
mad maddie:
omg, yr unbelievable
mad maddie:
no, angela, it’s not cuz of vincent. it’s just that we don’t ALL need a boyfriend to make our lives feel complete.
SnowAngel:
you’re no fun at all
mad maddie:
sure i am. i’m tons of fun.
SnowAngel:
guess i better go buy logan a v-day present since yr being such a poop. tootles!
