Hey. Whatever happened to what’s-her-name?

Who?

That girl.

What girl?

The one that used to hang around here with us. She had the long hair with the bangs in the front? You remember her.

Nah girl.

Yes. She used to walk to church with us all the time. Back when we lived in Malvern.

But we moved up outta there after high school - too hot for my fam…

But she didn’t

She who?

The girl!

What girl?

I can’t remember her name. We used to kick it together in Sabbath school, and sing on the choir too.

Who?

Me, you and that girl.

What girl?

You don’t remember?

Remember what?

Come on – we used to be best friends, the three of us. Until…

Until what?

Well, you know…

No. Tell me.

She got pregnant.

Oh.

THAT girl.

Yeah her.

Oh word. Haven’t seen her in a hot minute.

I know.

Wonder how she’s doing.

Me too. We should go visit her.

But she lives in Malvern

So?

So my cousin’s friend’s car got stolen down there the other day.

Again: so?

So it ain’t safe down there.

We used to live down there!

But not anymore.

So what about the girl?

What girl?

The same girl!

Oh her. Um… I’m sure she’s fine. Besides, she’s the one who stopped coming to church.

Yeah, about that. What happened?

Well, after the whole preggers thing, they made her stop singing on the choir and leading out in youth class. So she kinda stopped coming out.

Didn’t anyone call her?

Don’t think so.

Why?

Dunno. Guess since she wasn’t around we kinda forgot about her.

How could you just forget about her? She was your friend!

Your friend too! And you can’t even remember her name.

WE can’t remember her name.

Some friends we are.

Yeah

…

So what should we do?

About what?

Don’t make me slap you.

Oh! Um…I don’t know.

Well we have to do something.

Its kinda late isn’t it? Its been like three years I think.

It can’t be too late to find her.

I don’t know…

What if it was you?

Me? I’d be so mad. How could we be friends and you ditch me like that just because things got messy – and you call yourself a Christian.

Hey!

Well you know its true!

It is, isn’t it.

Sigh

We really messed this one up didn’t we.

Yeah

It can’t be too late though

You think?

Yeah… I think I know someone who might know where to find her.

She’ll probably hate us.

Could we blame her? We still gotta try though.

Yeah…Oh snap.

What?

I think I remember her name.

Yeah? What was it?

Michelle.
