The "Discussion"

Friday the 10th. Abilene, Nakia, Essie, and I took a half day. It was fun, until we had to drop off Nakia. Then came the drama. Nothing new, after all Essie was there. But this time I had to care about it. It was about the story.
Sometime last spring, we asked Essie to be apart of the story Abilene and I have been writing since 7th grade. She accepted. Why did we ask her? We wanted a character for the "E" in NEIO. But we'd done without one for a couple years. So the biggest reason: Because every time we would talk about NEIO she would make this face and act like she was so excluded. So I figured...why not let her write? And Abilene agreed.
She came up with a plot. I could merge it into mine fairly easily. I even came up with ideas how. Then she changed it. So I missed the only opportunity I had to fit Estelle into the story. It's kind of a good plot, but there's not really a way I could fit that into mine.
Abi, Essie, and I sat around as Essie talked mostly about the back story. It was strangely similar to another plot...Oh I know! Ours! It wasn't as much of a discussion as it should of been. When I would try to insert my opinion or something, Abilene would rudely shush me! :(
What stinks is this is my baby! I started NEIO! I shouldn't get shushed...My opinion and constructive criticism should matter...
After awhile I just started watching television. They weren't including me anyways so it didn't matter.
We didn't come to an agreement. Abilene acted like she was agreeing and compromising, but I couldn't tell if she really agreed...
