Meetings and Surprises

"What's a frendzation program? " I asked perplexed.

"Hold on a second" She said as she quickly typed something into the computer. A page opened up in her computer and it was written in grand letters 'Welcome to the frendzation app', it looked like a signing page. She looked at me and said "It's a site that helps you to meet and get to know someone that is completely different from you. So which means you guys will influence each other."

"I don't think that the best person to influence me is someone that is the opposite of me. I'm a good girl and I don't want to be  badly influenced."

"Well I was thinking more along the lines of the person helping you become a more confident person."

"I don't need confidence, I'm fine the way I am."

She gave me an 'are you serious look?' before saying, "Look Amelia, everybody needs confidence and you are really going to need it when you see those GGGs on Monday." She stated sternly.

"Who said I'm going back to that school? I don't think I'm ever going back there."

She threw her hands up in the air. "You see what I'm telling you! If what they did to you is going to make stop going to school and spoil your love for school then it's really obvious that you need to join this program. It's really going to help you."she said almost pleading.

"Yeah I think you must join." I heard voice behind me say. I immediately turned to see my mom standing by the door.

"Mom!" I screamed. Was she there the whole time?

"I'm sorry for interrupting but Belle already told me about this program earlier, and I think that it's a really good idea." she said. I looked at Belle.

" I had to tell her about this, your low-self esteem is becoming a big problem."

"I'll let you both know that I don't have low-self esteem I'm just not confident enough. And thanks but no thanks I don't need to get to know some stranger through some weird program."

"Please, please,please Amelia. Imagine changing schools it's going to be difficult for you to make friends and catch up on notes and lessons, besides I will always be there to help you guys relate. You can call me your frendzation coach." Belle begged.

"I don't know."

"Please honey, it's just like making a new friend." my mom also begged.

"Okay fine." I finally gave in."As long as the person is not a drug addict or delinquent."

"Lia, the fact that somebody is different from you does not have to mean that they are some kind of gang stars."she said whilst she rolled her eyes,then she smiled," But I'm so excited that you agreed."

"Me too dear, I see a no-nonsense girl in the future." my mom said snapping her fingers dramatically in the air. I giggled a bit.

"I have got to go or else I'll be late for the parents teachers meeting with your brother's teacher, seriously can't believe they're having this school meeting on a Saturday. Your dad said that he would get there from work during his break. I think he must be waiting for me, see you two later." she said as she walked away from the door.

"Okay bye mom" 
"Bye Mrs Harper" we both replied in unison. I turned back to Belle.

"Alright then, let's sign you in." she said as she pulled her computer closer to her.

"And we are done."Belle said in an exhausted yet relieved tone as she lay her back on the bed.

"Did they really have to ask me all those kind of questions."

"Like...?" she said prompting me to continue as she raised her head up slightly from where it rested on the bed.

"Like my favorite color, my favorite food, my favorite subject."

"What they are trying to do is check if you guys are different,yeah, but also compatible with each other so that it won't be a total disaster when you meet. Don't worry these people aren't frauds or anything like that."

"How are you so sure?"

"My cousin tried it, and she told me about it yesterdaySo that's why I thought about you trying it."

"Oh. So she made a new friend?"

"Yeah, but sometimes I joke with her saying that he's her boyfriend." she said with a chuckle.

Wait...

What!

"Wait-wa...wait a minute. Boys are also part of this program?"

"Yeah of course." she said in a duhh tone.

"But I didn't know that."

"Are you scared, because you haven't had a friend who is a boy?" she asked politely.

"No, it's not that. I just thought it was a girl thing you know, helping each other overcoming our fears and stuff like that.And also, if the person is going to be a dude I don't want him to be the kind of guy that influences me badly."

"First of all, you should know girls aren't the only ones that have problems or suffer from confidencial issues, then secondly; if the guy turns out to be some kind of crazy bad dude with negative effects then I promise that I will drop this whole Frendzation thing. I'll totally remove you from the program."

I let out a loud sigh.

" Okay. Alright. But I really do hope it's a girl so that we can be a girl squad of three. It will be so cool; eating lunch together, reading novels, going shopping, going to the Animal Pal Shelter and the list goes on and on."I squealed.

She gave me a dumbfounded look," Yeah, that would be awesome."she said, sarcasm lacing her voice.

I rolled my eyes at her playfully.

" So, what's next now? "

" Well, I think the information is being processed and once they find the person you are compatible with, they are going to send the person here."

"Why send the person here?"

"Remember when you were answering the questions, they asked what kind of person you are and you said you are the 'stay at home kind of person'. So that's why they are sending the person here instead. Do you now see why they asked those questions?"

"Yeah, I guess. But just to be safe I'm going to keep a tool in my back pocket in case the person is a burgler or something like that." I said, I was concerned about my safety.

Belle just laughed at me.

"Okay I received a message, they said that the person will be here any minute now." Belle said as she put her phone in her pocket. She looked at me, "Are you sure you want to wear that?" she asked referring to the clothes my grandmother gave me.

"Yes. I told you I wear these special clothes this day every year and I'm not changing them for any reason."

"Okay, if that's what you want then so be it." after she said that the door bell rung.

"The person is here, the person is here."she squealed." Go and open the door."she said as she pushed me towards the door.

All of a sudden I felt nervous. I drew in a large breathe and exhaled before opening the door.

WHAT!

HUH!

WHAT!

FEDERICO?!?!

Oh oh. Looks like Amelia has found herself in some situation.

What do you think is going to happen next?

Oh! and guys please beware of any online programs that could be fake. This frendzation thing is made up and is a figment of my imagination. Somebody unknown coming to somebody else's house could be dangerous. So keep safe.
