"I threw a wish in the well..." Kelly sang along with the music playing in the car.
"Don't ask me I'll never tell, I look to you as a friend but now you're in my way... Whoo..!" Clover clutched her seatbelt, looking at Kelly with a frightened face.
Kelly drove like someone in a car chase and on top of that she was singing like a maniac.
"I trade myself for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss..." There was a traffic signal up ahead and it was still in green, but had few seconds before it turned red. Kelly sped up so that she could pass it in time.
"I wasn't looking for this but now you're in my way. Your stare was holding, ripped jeans skin was showing, hot night wind was blowing." They had managed to pass in time before it turned red, then Kelly pressed the pedal and they were moving faster.
"Where do you think you're going baby..."
"To the grave, six feet under. With the way you're driving that's where we are going." Annoyance could be heard from her voice.
"Don't make me laugh." Kelly chuckled at her words. Her serious facial expression and sarcastic words made her sound hilarious.
"It's not funny." Clover added. She was at the brink of tears.
The look on her face made Kelly laugh even harder.
"Take a chill pill." Clover rolled her eyes.
Kelly changed the song to wrecking ball by Miley Cyrus and drove a little slower before Clover would die of a heart attack.
"I came in like a wrecking ball." At that moment someone's car hit them from behind.
Clover's heart felt like it would beat out of her chest.
Kelly stopped abruptly and came out to see the bitch that hit her. The other person did the same.
"If you can't see properly, I recommend you get glasses." Kelly was livid.
"Chillax girl." It was a girl, she casually removed her sunglasses as she came out of her car.
"Looking at such a classic." The girl said referring to the car. It was one of the newest models and not many people had it.
"I'm a little surprised that a person..." She looked down on Kelly. "like you can afford such a car." Her sentence made Kelly more livid.
"Excuse me?!" Clover came out to see what the commotion was all about.
"Wait a minute..." The girl took a closer look at Kelly.
"You're attending Rock Ridge High, right?" Coincidentally, they were going to the same school.
"My mistake. I see what's the problem." Her eyes turned to look at Clover. "It's not you, just the company you keep." Kelly wondered if this girl was sick in the brain, she didn't even apologize for the damage she had done. It wasn't really serious and Kelly might have let her off if she apologized but the girl didn't even another acknowledge her mistake.
"Are you insane?" Kelly asked.
"Oh! My bad! I didn't even notice my baby." She left Kelly and went to take a look at her own car. "It's so embarrassing walking around with this." She was referring to the scratch on her own car. Kelly looked at her speechless, she was baffled and totally stunned by how someone could be so self absorbed.
"Here's the money for your damages." She handed Kelly a wad of cash, then entered her car and drove off.
Kelly handed the money to Clover and then went back into the car.
"I should keep it for you?" Clover entered the car and sat on the passenger seat.
"No. You can take it." She started the engine and then drove off.
Clover saw her mood had changed and didn't bother asking any question.
She wondered how much money Kelly gave to her, but it seemed like a lot.
"Thank you."

They arrived at their destination and were doing a little shopping around the mall.
"There's a hair salon here, so I'm going to get my hair done too. I'm thinking of adding some extensions, then dye some parts light brown. Maybe like a butterfly cut, with light brown tips." Kelly said.
They were heading to the direction of the car to put the clothes they had bought.
"That would look lovely." Clover said.
"Thanks. You should get yours done too."
"I don't know what to do with my hair."
"I think you should make it shorter." Kelly suggested.
"Like a bob cut? I don't know if it would look good on me."
"Shoulder length." They opened the trunk of the car and put all the things they had bought.
"Maybe you should dye it too. Make it slightly darker. You have pale skin, so it will look good on you."
"Alright then." They started heading back to the mall.
"After that we'll do some manies and panies. Then, we'll make a quick stop at the phone store. Don't worry, all your phone bills will be on me."
"You don't have to do that." Clover was a bit taken aback by her generosity.
"I want to do that. Finally, we'll stop at this nice Italian restaurant. Their pizzas are to die for."
"Woah." Due to the crowd in the mall, Clover mistakenly bumped into someone.
"Oh sorry." Clover apologized. The person turned and they recognized her to be the girl from earlier.
"No worries." She smiled at them.
Kelly and Clover were about to leave but she stopped them by holding Clover back.
"What do you want?" It was evident Kelly didn't like her.
"I know, I acted like a total douche. I want to apologize for my misbehavior." Kelly was a little surprised but nevertheless she didn't care.
"All good. No hard feelings." Kelly just replied.
"Let's have a do over. After all, we are classmates." She said with a smile. Kelly was still weary of her but she didn't refuse her request.
"Oh okay." Kelly replied.
"I'm Belle." She flinged her hair with her hand.
"Kelly." Kelly said with a neutral expression.
"Clover."
"It was nice meeting you again. I hope to see you in school." After saying that she left.
A boy had been standing behind her the entire time and they didn't notice until she turned to leave.
"Let's go."
