Me and JB 21

“Michelle is getting really annoying!” I said to Nick. We were on the phone as usual.
“Hey! I can hear you, you know?” Michelle said through her tears. She was eating chips out of her despair. Ever since her break-up with Kevin, she’s been a pain in the neck. She’d follow me around the house like a puppy, get mad for the slightest little things, cry on my shoulders ( which actually left stains on my shirts, thank you very much!), and go through yet another bag of chips every 45 minutes. It was horrible.
“Well, Kevin said he just wants to be friends with her, sorry,”.
“It’s okay, not my problem!” Well, it actually was. Every time I mentioned the word “Jonas” she’d freak out. I made up a code name for Jonas though, fruit cake. Don’t ask.
“I never want to see him again!” said Michelle. The whole bowl of chips dropped on my bedroom floor. Great.
“Hold on, Nick!” I said. Now I was really annoyed. “Michelle!”
“I’m sorry! I’ll pick them up!” She leaned over to pick the chips up but she fell over. Now what?
