Chapter 6

-The Play-

The weekend it's over and Zoey has been texting frequently annoying me to tell her everything.

Zoey:

When you're going to tell me what happened between you and Chris?!

Sarah:

Didn't I say you that I'd tell you at school?

Zoey:

Yes but I can't wait for you to tell me!

Sarah:

Gosh Zoey! Stop! I'll tell you every detail.

Zoey:

Well see you later

Sarah:

Yes but don't send me a message so early, ok? I was sleeping peacefully

Zoey:

Sorry, I'm excited

It can't be possible. Who comes with this kind of thing on Monday at 3 am??

Only my friend, for my bad luck

When I arrive to school Zoey was already in my seat, when she saw me she stand up immediately.

—Hello Sarah, how are you?—she's a fanatic of gossip, even arrive early. Unbelievable!

—Well Zoey although I think you're not interested, I think you prefer to know more about what happened to me in my unexpected "date" with Chris

—I'm also fine thanks for asking — she joke—. Well you're right, tell me everything— says excited

—Oh well, first I went to Central Park I sat on a bench and...

—I'm not interested in that, the part where you were with Chris—my best friend interrupts me abruptly

—You don't let me finish!—I exclaim irritated

—Okay Sarah, calm down!

—Well after you sent me the message that you were in your date ...by the way how did it was?—I say trying to change the topic and laughing at the end

—Sarah!—exclaims my best friend.

—After that Chris came—I say not avoiding laugh—,He sat next to me and we started talking.

—Wow—she exclaims fascinated—,An entire afternoon with Chris Miller—makes fun of me

—I didn't expect it either— I laugh nervously—I already told you everything. Now tell me how was your date?

—Well, we went to the cinema, we saw a science fiction movie, it was good but I hardly paid attention because I was eating and laughing with him, don't even remember what was the name of the movie

—Seriously? That can't be possible Zoey—I laugh at her—, You were so inspired by all the dark atmosphere of the cinema huh—I say pushing her with my elbow

—Stop it Sarah!—she gives me a little hit on my shoulder—Well yeah maybe, but we had a great time I must admit it, after that we went for ice cream and we talked about many things...—she make a pause trying to remember something—.Sarah you have to come with me tomorrow to the mall, it's URGENT!

—And why you're so desperate?

—Don't you remember that he invited me to the restaurant “Tree Bistro”?—embodies an eyebrow—I don't have the correct clothes to go there, help me Sarah I have to make a good impression, you know that technically it's my 3rd date with him and I can't ruin all now

—You are right, since you have already ruined all the others—I make laugh of her— At least I will help you to have a good one

—Sarah !!

—Relax, I'll come with you tomorrow, okay?

We sat down when we see that the chemistry teacher finally arrived.

The last time I had with Chris helped me to focus better. It's strange since he was the reason of my distraction, now I pay more attention to the classes and order my ideas in a better way.

At the end of classes Zoey and I go to the Drama club. I still don't understand why I'm so excited to see Chris again.

—Well guys I hope you have studied your scripts well...—What the hell?! Oh damn! Everything I was doing and thinking didn't give me the time to study the fucking script—.Apparently not many studied it, so this time I'll give you the opportunity to read them—the Teacher takes her head in her hands with an expression of annoyance and she whisper—God! What will I do with these guys?

—Did you study Sarah?—Zoey asks

—I think you know the answer—I say ironically.

—Let's get started!— says the Teacher again—Go to your places, here I want the 2 main couples characters—I go to the place where she says

—Hey Sarah—says Chris

—Hi Chris—I say nervously again. This can't be happening to me!

—Nice to see you again—he smiles and I return the smile

—Behind each couple I want the characters that will be their respective parents in the play— the Teacher speaks again

Awesome! Dennis is going to play the role of the mother of Chris in the play, that will give her more reasons to bother me and more because she plays the role of upper class. I don't care about the other classmates, even those that will be my parents in the role leaves me indifferent but having Dennis here is irritating.

When we finish fixing some things of the play, we begin with the rehearsals. I heard that this work will be presented in approximately 2 months, all depends on how the Teacher see our progress.

At the end of rehearsals, I approach where Zoey is, we drink some water and get relaxed before leaving the class.

—I think you did well...Considering that you get nervous talking in front of Chris— my friend teases me

—I don't get nervous and even less in front of Chris—I roll my eyes—, It's something without importance— I drink sips of water—.You didn't do it badly either Zoey...Considering you didn't even read it.

—I know darling, I don't need to read it—she winks at me with irony and we laugh together

—Well, let's go now!

—Let me get my things, I'll catch you— says Zoey

When I step forward I meet with Chris just in front of me.

—Hey Sarah, you acted so well

—Really?—I laugh briefly and he nods—Thanks, you also did

—Honestly you did better than me—he admits

—Knew that I didn't even study the script—I laugh nervously

—It wasn't noticed, you did it too well. Anyway that was not the point, I wanted to tell you that...it's that... I don't know how to tell you...— He gets nervous, too much from my point of view

—Just tell me—I say whispering

—Do you want to go to my house tomorrow so we can review the dialogues? Or this weekend if you want—he says finally. This is not what I expected.

—Well, what do you think if we better see each other this weekend?—I still surprised to be honest, I didn't expect it.

—Hi guys—says Zoey pushing me from behind, I hate when she do that and more if I'm with Chris, it takes away my excitement.

—Hi Zoey, how are you?— Says Chris

—Fine, awesome—she says looking at me emphasizing the last words. I already realized the insinuation she made.

—Well see you tomorrow girls, goodbye—he leaves me with my crazy best friend

—Well what did he say to you?—says Zoey curious

—Why you care?— I laugh but she looks at me annoyed

—Tell me Sarah!!— I laugh when she complains like that

—It was a joke,relax—I laugh briefly when I saw her expression—.He invited me to his house to practice the play.

—Really??And what did you say?

—I told him that better in the weekend, he wanted tomorrow but I'll go with you to the mall

—Of course first it's your best friend and then your boyfriend

—He is not my boyfriend!!—I exclaim irritated

—It seems that—she says, wanting to continue this absurd nonsense topic.

—Of course not, we are just friends

—You want it to be more than that—she says with a mischievous look.

—Stop that, now let's go!

When we leave the room, Dennis and Erika prevent us from passing. Again this two!

—You acted so bad Sarah. You know that?—Dennis says

—The worst performance I've ever seen—says Erika

—I know Dennis, thanks, I'm glad you're paying me that much attention—I exclaim

—No one can ruin better than Sarah, so Erika they aren't going to pick someone else— Zoey says in an aggressive voice

—Chris is so disappointed, you should better get out of here, you don't belong here!— Dennis says approaching me

—You're right, I don't belong to your low world, can't tolerate dealing with so little thing as you—I push her and get out of there at the same time as Zoey behind me

When we move forward and go out Dennis's voice is heard in the background.

—You will pay me this someday Sarah!— She says shouting behind us

We will see who bothers who better, when that day will come I'll make her suffer as much as I want and she will end up asking for mercy, that day we will see who doesn't belong here.

—Don't listen to them—Zoey says when we leave school and I laugh immediately.

—Did you even think I'm going to listen to those idiots? I don't care what they say about me, they don't have anything else to do with their lives.

—Yeah you're right, well anyway I'm leaving see you tomorrow

—Yes, bye Zoey— I say goodbye to her with a kiss on the cheek, we are very good friends and we have a lot of trust between us, our friendship are those that our parents just even by hearing their name know that there is no problem.

Walking home I play the Taylor Swift song Ready for it? And I'm singing down the street thinking about Chris again for a stupid reason.

When the song ends, I just get home and sit down to eat with my parents and my sister Sabrina.

I think that now I'm more inspired to start a new approach with Chris and stop being so easily distracted. But I still having this feeling that in the end I'll regret it and my heart will break like a glass in small pieces.
