Mia stared at the girls in silence. They were obviously twins. They were both wearing long, orange dresses with yellow flowers. Neither of them were smiling.
Mia scratched her chin. Ashley kicked some rocks. And the two girls just crossed their arms and stared meanly at Mia.
Finally, one of the girls said, “Well, Fire Ash, aren’t you going to introduce her to us?” She pointed at Mia.
“Oh. Um, yes.” Ashley cleared her throat. Then she answered, “Um, Bella and Ella, this is Mia. Mia, these are my cousins, Bella and Ella.”
There was a long, awkward silence.
Ashley finally said, “I wonder when Crystal’s gonna get here?”
Like an answer to her question, a car pulled into the driveway. Crystal, one of Mia and Ashley’s friends, hopped out of the car. She smiled nervously, showing her braces. She adjusted her glasses as she hobbled over to the porch. She was carrying a large bag, which made it hard for her to walk. Finally, she made it to the porch, where she set down the bag. Crystal tugged on her long, red pigtails.
“Who’s this nerd?” snorted Bella. Ella laughed meanly.
“Excuse me, but this happens to be my friend. She is not a nerd,” Ashley shot back at her. Crystal adjusted her glasses again, but this time she wasn’t smiling.
“She sure looks like one,” Ella argued, smirking.
Crystal looked like she might cry.
That was it. Mia completely lost it. Nobody insulted her friends.
“Well, whatever! Who cares what she looks like! I bet she’s smarter than you!” she burst out, flinging her arms around. Her face was red with anger.
That made Bella and Ella be quiet for a few minutes.
Crystal cleared her throat. Everyone looked over at her as she said in a small voice, “Um, well, should we play a game or something now?”
