Culturally Biased

"Stop, whining."

"Hey everybody." Miciah said, walking into the house.

But she had a girl next to her.

She had brownish-reddish hair, pale skin and a really wide smile.

"Annick, you remember Ashley?" Miciah asked.

"Hi Annick!" She exclaimed.

Annick just nodded her head.

Yeah, she recognized her.

From high school.

She was Miciah's friend but Annick didn't like her one bit.

Everyone noticed it too.

But then the girl ran and gave Annick a tight hug.

She immediately stiffened.

"Remember our rule since freshmen year? No touching."

"Oh yeah, I forgot." She snorted.

Everyone was quite confused.

Annick loved hugs.

Miciah began introducing Ashley to everyone.

Lastly she introduced her to Randy and her smile got even wider.

She leaned down and cut him off guard by hugging him.

"Oh..." He said, awkwardly patting her.

"She didn't hug anyone else." Dario whispered.

Miciah took a seat next to Dario.

"Can I sit there?" Ashley asked Annick, pointing in between her and Randy.

Annick furrowed her eyebrows and got up, moving to Randy's lap instead.

"Do what you want." She shrugged.

"And then my dad took me fishing but I had to miss a day of school." Ashley continued.

Everyone in the room was bored out of there minds with only Miciah pretending to be interested in her story.

"Wow, really?"

"Yeah! Maybe one of you guys would wanna come fishing. What about you Randy?" She said trying to grab his hand but he quickly rested it on Annick's thigh.

"Um...I'm allergic to fish...?" He lied.

"Oh...that sucks." She sighed.

She glanced at the clock and got up from the couch.

"Well I'm gonna take the bus home. It was nice meeting you guys....especially you Randy." She batted her eyelashes.

"Oh um yeah it was nice meeting you too."

"Bye Miciah." She said hugging her.

Before she left, she turned around.

"Bye Annick." She said.

Annick stared down at her phone.

"Bye Annick!"

"What the fuck are you yelling for?" She asked looking up.

"See ya." Ashley waved.

As soon as she shut the door behind her, everyone sighed in relief.

"I was already done with that after graduation. Then you had to bring that shit back into my life?" Annick said.
