“Tell her that she’s not my friend anymore,” Tina, who was sitting to my right, said.
I turned to Linda, who was sitting to my left, “Tina said that she’s not your friend.”
“Tell her I don’t care,” Linda said. “She’s not mine.”
I turned to Tina, “She said she doesn’t care.”
“Well, tell her I don’t care either and that she’s a liar.”
I turned to Linda, “That you lied that one time and she doesn’t care.”
“She doesn’t?”
“No,” I said.
Linda looked around me, to Tina.
“You don’t care that I lied?” Linda said.
“What?” Tina said.
Two minutes later.
“Yes, you were, Marc,” Tina said. “You were trying to get us to fight.”
“But you told me to tell her all that.” I said.
“You didn’t tell her everything I said.”
“I did.”
“You’re mean, Marc.”
“But I didn’t do nothing.”
