Chapter 5

-Unexpected Date-



After finishing all the classes I said goodbye to Zoey and I step towards the exit, I put my headphones on playing my Playlist and the song "Earned it-The Weeknd" stars, I love that song.

I walk singing in my mind until I arrive to my house, when I enter my mom is in the kitchen and my sister Sabrina is playing with her teddies and dolls.

—Hi Mom, I'm here—I say taking off my headphones and closing the door.

—Hello daughter, how was your day?—asks from the kitchen.

—Fine, thanks mom—I turn to my sister—.Hello Sabrina, how are you?—I say giving a kiss on her cheek. I love her so much although she doesn't realize it. Before she was born I felt very lonely and then when she came to this world I felt that I could trust and share anything with her.

—Fine—Sabrina says without paying much attention to me, she's more focused playing

—I'll go to my bedroom to do my homework—I go upstairs, enter to my room, put my things down and lie down on the bed. Finally I sigh—What a day!—I exclaim exhausted

Still thinking about how I will act this Monday in the play and then in front of Chris. How avoid getting nervous? I should stop thinking about it, he's just a classmate, I don't like him or something like that...Or do I?

To avoid those thoughts, I stand up from my bed and try to do my homework but I can't focus. To avoid problems, I search some things on the Internet and put them as fast as possible. I want to go for a walk or something to think well and keep away the thoughts that make me get distracted.

For change my clothes, I decide to wear a jacket with blue jeans and black boots.

—Where are you going out Sarah?, Aren't you going to eat?—Asks my mother when I came downstairs.

—No mom, later—I say putting on my jacket—,Excuse me, I'm going to the park, Zoey wants to tell me something. I'll be back in 1 hour—I say opening the door.

—Ok daughter, come back early

—Yes, bye mom—I close the door and walked to Central Park, it's the most beautiful park I've ever seen.

When I get there, I walked around watching the kids running and playing, so I think about my feelings for Chris but Why do I feel this? Why am I getting distracted like this? Why am I thinking about him a lot, giving it a lot of importance? I can't focus on anything and when I try to forget what happened I found him in somewhere and again my thoughts repeat. It will be possible that…I'm in love?

No, that can't be. It's a very stupid idea, I barely meet him

A noise interrupts what I am thinking, it's my phone, I received a message from Zoey.

I'm in the cinema with the boy I told you, so far everything is going well, wish me luck

I don't think you need it Zoey you always know how to conquer someone

Minutes later another message arrives

And what are you doing Sarah?

I'm in Central Park

I send the message and suddenly a voice surprises me.

—Hello Sarah—his voice startled me and when I turn to see it's Chris.

This is what I mean when I am forgetting everything I found him again. Is there any place where I can't found him in the same place?

—He...hello Chris—I say hesitating

—Sorry for scaring you like that—he laughs briefly—,I just saw you around here and wanted to come say hi—Really? To me? That honestly surprises me—.Are you with someone?—Chris asks.

—I'm alone. What about you?—I inquire

—Also alone but Why would a girl as pretty as you it's alone?—I can't avoid to get blush and laugh

—Cute girls also need their own space for be alone—we laugh together

—Then can I sit with you?— Why would he want to be with me? But anyway I nod

—We don't know each other very well, You mind if we talk to get to know each other better? We will be acting in the same play. We need to have trust in each other if we want this to work very well —he got that point right.

—Well tell me what you want to talk about— I say watching him closely, giving him a smile.

—What do you like to do in your free time?—He asks.

—Dance, listen to music, read and play tennis. What about you?

—Interesting, I also like listening to music, watching movies and going swimming—he pauses briefly—, You should come one day to see me swim, I'm great, it's one of the things I love to do—Did he really invite me? I try to avoid my emotion when he says that to me.

—And what kind of music do you like?

We were talking about many other things and when I see the clock it has been 3 hours since I am here.

—Well Chris, I enjoyed talking to you but I've gotta go. It's a little late—I say standing up from we were sitting.

—I'll take you if you want, I bring my car.

—I don't want to bother you, I can walk

—I won't let you go alone, or do you not trust me?—he smiles slightly

—Yes, I trust on you—I say smiling too

I get in his car and tell him where my house is, on the way he plays a song that I like "Scared to be lonely-Martin Garrix ft.Dua lipa", for some reason we feel confident and we sing together to the rhythm of the song, I can't believe this would happen in this way.

When we get to my house the song ends and we stare at each other.

I don't know what's happening to me. Why I feel in this way?

—Thanks for bringing me—I smile shortly

—No problem, don't worry— he smiles back—. I really enjoyed talking to you. We should hang out someday, shouldn't we? You know, as friends.

—Yeah, friends— we smiled and I get out of the car—,Thanks Chris

—Whenever you wanna, see you on Monday

—Goodbye— I close the door and wave to him.

In the door of my house I turn around and see that he still there and doesn't leave until I enter to my home.

—Sarah I thought you would be here in an 1 hour, it was almost 2 hours or more— says my mom when she sees me enter

—Forgive me mom— I close the door behind me—,Zoey wanted to to buy something and we met up with some of her friends and we were chatting, but I'm already here—I get into the kitchen for rat something cause I'm hungry.

—Okay daughter, I'll be in my bedroom if you need something

—Sure mom and Sabrina?—I asked looking for my sister

—She's doing her homework in her room—Without saying anything else my mom goes upstairs.

When I finish, I go upstairs to my bedroom.

I can't believe that I spent this afternoon with Chris, without a doubt Zoey is going to make a lot questions when I'll tell her, actually talking about her, she just texted me

Zoey:

Everything went very well, he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend!

I said I would think about it. We will have another date on Wednesday at "Tree Bistro" it's a French style restaurant, elegant and fancy.

Let's see what happens then.

Sarah:

I'm so happy for you Zoey

Zoey:

And what about you?

Sarah:

Well I don't know how this is called but if you can call it in that way, I had an "unexpected date" with Chris.

Zoey:

Chris?? Chris Miller?!

Are you kidding?

Sarah:

No, I am not!

Zoey:

You see? I told you! You'll found the person have been looking for. This is your chance!

Sarah:

Zoey stop with that! Anyway I'll tell you better on Monday

Zoey:

Oh gosh! I hate when you leaving me in suspense

Sarah:

I'll tell you every detail and you the same, okay?

Zoey:

Okay okay. It's a friendly deal.

See you on Monday, enjoy your weekend

Sarah:

Thanks, take care

I knew Zoey would ask me what I did today, I like to put her on hold for more details about something.

I'm of the idea that it's better to tell it in person than by message, in addition it's better to see the expression someone will have, that can be fun.

I put on my pajamas and turn off the light, I lie in my bed ready to sleep but I cannot do it.

I still having a bad feeling with Chris and our relationship, this is only temporary, it's just a fantasy that will come to an end and it will end badly, just for me.
