Best friend

It happens.

She was only mildly inattentive,

a series of tiny pink hearts 

randomly doodled on a blank page,

a slightly dreamy look in her eyes;

hardly enough she imagined 

to draw attention.

Then; 

'Penny for your thoughts young lady,' 

came the voice of doom.

The footsteps silent, almost predatory 

as a shadow cast ominous across her desk.

'Your effort thus far seems 

rather lacking in content,

perhaps a one hour detention

will focus the mind.'

"I'll tell him you'll be late,'

her best friend whispered at the bell,

a curled smile, a slightly triumphant

look from beneath mascara laden lashes

making her heart beat faster than

the wings of a frightened little bird.

"We'll be in the park, I'll stay with

him and make sure he waits.'

oh my....keep your enemies close but your best friends closer....
to be betrayed by them is the worst.
yes, i am sure she will stay with him...while he waits and after he waits.

Best friend my arse. How many times this played out, how many ladies at the cafe will relate to this in some form of another, many me thinks.
Surely no detention for the young you Beccy !!
Hope you are well, enjoyed reading you (as always)
