On our way to the mall in the car, Tanya and Sheriffa were not being nice to me; they were giving me dirty looks and talking bad about me. Tanya's mother was sitting in the front seat and she could hear them talking bad about me. She turned around and said, "I can hear what you guys are saying back there. If I hear anything else happen to Cheryl, if you think your last punishment was bad then you don't want the next one that I'll give you." Sheriffa and Tanya were quiet after their moms said that. When we got to the mall we went straight to the shoe store. We went to look for the exact same shoe but they were sold out, so Tanya's mom said, "Pick out a shoe that you like that is in the same price bracket."

I saw a shoe that I liked. It looked even better than the shoes my mom originally bought me but it also cost $15 more. I wasn't going to ask them to buy those shoes, but they saw when I put them on and they said, "Those shoes look good on you and if you want those shoes, you can have them." When Sheriffa and Tanya saw the shoes that I picked they started to get mad at their parents. They started whining and pouting. Tanya complained to her mom, "How come you bought her those shoes? When I wanted those shoes you said that they were too expensive." Tanya's mother responded, "Rude girls like you don't deserve expensive shoes because all you'll end up doing is ruining them."

I still have those shoes and eventually Sheriffa and Tanya became my best friends, but it took a grudge match and time before that happened.
