Sleeping arrangements
After Melina's failed attempt at being a social normie she focused on her coven as Kimberly was like a lost puppy alone. She had burned too many bridges with her former best friend Ashley that they were barely on speaking terms. Melina always felt like the third wheel between their friendship and now she didn't know where she was with Ashley . Ashley was very opinionated and pretty much moved to the beat of her own drum. She was the idea blonde her blue eyed girl as Kimberly had brown hair and brown eyes . Jason would stay away from the group if Kimberly was around as he got suspended until he fixed the cafeteria window he broke with a chair in the rage of his and melina's fight. The principal wasn't worried over a fight that was broken up over destruction of school property. Jason was one of those kids that his parents let him basically run the streets as he pleased. So him paying to fix a window was not going to do anything to him. But threatening him repeating the eighth grade for the third time because of missed days was something that he faced before . It was his wake up call of him being a joke of eighth grade. Jason steer cleared of the coven convinced we were immature girls playing at fantasizing over some charmed powers . Yes the TV show charmed was popular but we did not activatly seek and sought out demons. We made our blessings with what we had and considering none of us could ask our parents to support the local witch cause for supplies and beliefs it was use what we know with the knowledge that we had. Kimberly was more uncomfortable with the coven as her family was deeply religious when it came to our kind . Which left Melina, Ashley ,and Joey. Joey never said much about the gatherings in the middle school gym before they seperated the boys and girls on opposite side of the gymnasium . Where we had savage the beast. The had a former green bay packer for a coach. Nothing said gym time like a over grown man with skin tight shorts that was shorter than girl shorts. It was funny how coach savage wore her shorts knew length with polos but he wore everything to excentuate his muscular form that looked like he took steroids as he had two tones. Yelling and screaming at everyone he spoke to. Around this time Dana had tried to live with her dad one more time. David her dad was always critter crazy. He was one of those supposed country boy at heart but lived in the city his entire life. In fact in the run down part of the city . Dana had a rabbit in a cage that was in a tree away from the rabid dogs that he never touched and just made sure they were fed and watered enough to not eat each other. Dana moved downstair where kia and her husband lived when she got kicked out of the house for having weed in the house. Melina's mother was far from being able to cast judgement on drugs as she was high through most of her pregnancies. But when she got on the righteous kick she was out to make an example. Her hypocrisy varied depending on whom she was with. She would smoke weed with Paula's guy of the month , but kicked Mia's husband out for hiding weed in the air vents and when she turned on the heater her mother sniffed it out like a fucking reborn narc. In truth she was just looking for a reason to get rid of the moron who knocked up her teenage daughter. Mia and her husband's marriage was an arrangement that was made to keep her out of the system. This line of logic would start a lifetime of going around things to best serve her purposes. There is a saying it takes more energy to do wrong than to do right. This was the entire concert she would struggle with for the rest of her life. Dana moved downstairs and of course her daddy bought her everything she wanted . A new bed and a new room. When Melina's mom could barley afford clothes she would have to watch Dana still being treated like an only child. Dana was ultimately lazy and she believed the power of negotiations was in her favor..she convinced Melina to set up and paint her entire room for promises of free gently used name brand clothes. Dana wore only name brands as she was the ultimate label hoe . She would spend hundreds on Birkenstocks and express jeans. Even though her memaw would lecture her about buying items on sale it didn't matter to Dana. Her memaw was in her sixties and working at an assisted living facility. She was one of those people that would near to death slap your leg of while telling you a story. She was loud and chain smoked . But she was good people according to Melina. She remembered Melina and often gave her clothes Dana refused to wear. Melina fixed Dana's room as it was purple everywhere . Melina was about to go to bed upstairs because she had school the next day when Dana asked her to stay downstairs in the room with her. Convinced she could never sleep alone in a bed. Dana grew up co sleeping with her dad or her memaw . This made a long lasting need to have a body next to her at all times. Melina didn't understand how a fourteen year old kid who could run around playing the whore wars in Florida with Paula could sleep alone in a bed. She literally screwed Chad the only guy Melina ever had a crush on and she wanted Melina to sleep in the bed with her to comfort her from the scary monsters to be alone. Melina layed in the bed with Dana as she draped all over her . When Dana fell asleep Melina tried peeling her off of her and Dana would rap around her tighter. Melina felt weird at why she was there as she managed to sneak out of the bed around three in the morning as she couldn't sleep a wink with Dana smothering her. A week before when Dana ent her rabbit she had for years to live with her dad as her memaw was tired of taking care of her animals. Her memaw was one of those who was convinced letting her granddaughter do what she wanted because telling her she couldn't made her want to do it more. So Dana did what she wanted when she wanted. Paula had put the rabbit in the house as it was huge for the small cage he outgrew. Paula had a brilliant idea she was going to play with the bunny by scaring it. She hid behind a table as the bunny hopped around exploring as Paula jumped out and screamed scaring the bunny as Melina held lettuce for it to eat. The bunny fell over panting and died instantly. But instead of telling Dana her rabbit was killed by being scared to death by Paula being well Paula. David her dad put the dead rabbit back in its cage for Dana to discover it when she went to visit the bunny on the weekends. Honestly what kind of shady ass fucked up shit was that. None of us was ever permitted to speak of what happened. When Dana discovered the dead rabbit that had been dead for a week now. All david dit was cook the dead thing . Paula ate it like she didn't know the animal was dead for a week before eating it . Dana was the dumbest smart girl Melina had ever met. When she meant the dumbest smart girl she meant Dana was always in private schools her entire life. The first time she ever attended public school was these past two years. She made good grades , but she wasn't to focused on details when you spoke to her as she was always right. She didn't notice the damn rabbit stank so much that she thought he died over night from the cold . So here Melina was sneaking to her room after being pinned down by Dana. This would go on for a week her having to sneak to her room . When Melina refused to sleep downstairs anymore Dana pitched a fit about her refusal to being a good step sister as she screamed. David be David and coddling his spoiled child even though she would sit on her phone on speaker phone talking about who she was screwing at the moment like it was normal think to hear your child talking to you about her sex life. It was fucking weird their relationship. What does David do sooth her with a new puppy to keep her company. With one rule she had to take care of it . The girls barely payed attention to her rabbit when it was alive a puppy wasn't going to make her more responsible. The dog lasted two weeks as it peed and pooped as Dana's social life didn't permit her being a pet parent accessable. Lara Melina's mom and her got into a fight about the animal being inside and pooping and crying all the time as Dana ran off with her friends she ended up giving the dog away and moving back home to her memaws where rules didn't apply to her.
