Burn
Melody's POV
I hear a voice behind me, when I turn, Genny is standing in front of me, "Melody, it's been so long." She reaches out for a hug, I feel myself tense.
"GIRLS" I would recognize that voice anywhere, Az. I don't turn around, looking at her would break every promise I made to myself that day.
Genny's POV
"GIRLS" I spot Az in the corner of my eye.
"AZ! I've missed you so much." I open my mouth to say something else and feel her arms wrap around me, cutting off my air supply. She releases me, turns to Melody, and nods.
"Hey." I could have sworn there was tension between them, whatever, it doesn't seem important. What's important right now is that we are finally together again. I haven't seen these two since third grade, back when I moved to Kentucky.
Melody finally speaks, "I see you haven't changed much." glancing down at her outfit. Why is she being so rude to Az? What happened? What does she mean "hasn't changed aren't they friends?
"What don't you like it?" Az replies.
"You look like a prostitute," Melody snarls. I look down at her outfit, I mean, it's not THAT bad. Just because her "shirt" looks like an overestimated bra doesn't mean she looks like a hoe. Her skirt balances a little considering it goes to her knees but, it's so tight and shiny, "Is that leather?" It slips out before I can stop myself.
"Wow, Genevieve way to notice that. I'm assuming you didn't see the bowl-sized rings hanging from her ears?" That's when I see them. Aren't they heavy?
"Can we stop talking about this now? I'm hungry." I muttered.
Az's POV
"Let's go order Genny," I said, ignoring Melody who is giving me this weird glare. She sits back down at our table and I rush away, thankful to distance ourselves.
"How can I help you?" The woman at the register says.
"I'll have a cheeseburger with a side of fries, and a McFlurry please"
"Oh, I'm sorry the machine is not working right now."
I hear Genny whisper under her breath, "When isn't it, do they even have an ice cream machine anymore? Like, come on I just want some frozen sugar milk." I stifle a laugh. "I'll just have a Coke then"
"I'll have the same," says Genny. "What was all that in between you and Melody?" she asks. "I'll have her tell you when we get back to the table."
(Stick with us it gets better)
Melody's POV
I see them walk back towards me. Az is obviously avoiding eye contact. What. Did. She. Do.
Az finally looks at me once they are within hearing distance. "Tell her what happened."
"Wait, what! why the hell would you tell her."
"I didn't tell her anything."
"Then what do you want me to tell her." At this point I'm so mad at Az I don't even know who we're talking about anymore.
"About the fight, duh!"
"Oh," I look down and see the third pair of shoes. Who is that? wait...OH YEAH. "Okay okay," I say "after you moved, Genny, me and Az slowly started growing more and more apart" I took another bite of my chicken sandwich. "We were constantly fighting about every little thing, and then one day I was singing in the park, Az came up to me and yelled at me that I was being foolish." I look up at Az. She's too busy eating her fries to care. "She said that I was always making foolish decisions and that she was done"
I look up just in time to see Az spill her coke all over the table "sorry I'll clean this up to continue"
"It was bad then, but it got even worse when Az got her powers first. Something about brains or whatever. All you did was brag about it never giving me a chance to say how selfish you sound. The one time I do say something you blow up in my face like come on! But, if it hadn't happened I wouldn't have found out my powers, anyway, after that day I vowed I would never talk to her again, and here we are." I think for a second and realize we have no idea what Genny's powers are, maybe she doesn't have one, but that's unlikely. "Genny did you ever find out what powers you have.
"Yeah, I can heal stuff so that's cool." she pauses, "wait, you guys are still fighting about that? It was three years ago! Why on earth are you guys still mad about that?"
"Honestly, I don't know" something about Genny makes me want to spill all of my secrets so she can fix them maybe that's what she meant by healing?
~Later that evening~
Genevieve's POV
We all pile onto Melody's living room since her house is the closest to us. Everyone was staring at each other really weirdly and then we were cut off by a loud song playing.
"Oh sorry, it's just my ringtone. A song called Burn-" I cut her off "From Hamilton yeah we know, Who doesn't love Hamilton though."
"Phillipa Soo is so cool! But, Elizabeth Schuyler went through so much and was still strong. I wonder how she felt." Melody interjects into the conversation.
"I have the best plan ever! Let's bring Eliza back from the dead and find out!"
