I broke down in tears and slid to the
floor. Here I was, thinking I had a chance with the coolest kid in
the school when reality finally kicked in and showed me I
couldn’t. Of course Sam would want to go out with Nikki
instead of me, just plain Christina. Nikki is cool, all the boys
like her, and she is actually nice to the guys she likes. Why
couldn’t they see the true her? It’s SO frustrating. I
wiped my tears and pulled myself together. I was getting up off the
floor as the door opened yet again. Crap I can’t let anyone
see me like this. I made a mad dash to the nearest stall.
“Hey, Christina are you still here?” It was the voice
of Rachel. She sounded apologetic, but I didn’t want to give
her another chance to crush my already fragile emotions. I decided
not to answer. “Christina are you?” Ugh I
couldn’t be mean. My emotions may be fragile, but I have a
big heart and it sounded like she needed to talk. “Ya,”
I whispered as I walked out of the stall making sure my bangs were
in my face so she couldn’t see I had been crying. There was
an awkward moment of silence before Rachel started
talking.”Ummm Christina I know we aren’t the best of
friends anymore and I truly am sorry for what just happened with
Nikki. I know you didn’t deserve that because you were only
helping Sam with R&J, but Nikki really likes Sam so she just
kinda got mad. But that’s not what I’m here
for.”The whole time Rachel was staring at the floor, I guess
too scared to look me in the eyes. I waited for her to go on,
“Well, as you know I’m not in your English class, but
we are reading Romeo and Juliet too….” She trailed off
a little until she finally finished. “But the reason I came
to talk to you was that I need help depicting Shakespeare. My mom
thinks I need a tutor, but I don’t want people to think
I’m stupid and the lady I have now does not help at all. The
reason I chose to ask you was because I know you’re really
really smart and today Sam came out of English saying how you
helped him understand it so much better. He also mentioned how you
guys compared R&J to real life and how that really helped him
and he talked about how much fun he had. He said he had never had
so much fun in English class,” Rachel stole a glance at me
and found me blushing profusely. “I see,” I said
slowly. I knew what Rachel was asking, but I didn’t know how
to reply. “I guess I could help you,” I finally replied
after considering what she was asking. I mean why not help out an
old friend even though she hurt me. “Are you for
real?!??!” “Ya I am.” Wow
did she really think I wouldn’t help her. She may have broken
our old promises, but I still kept mine of always helping her.
“Wow, thanks so much. I promise I can pay you back some way.
Well, I’ll text you soon with more info.” “Do you have my
number?” I asked and pulled out my phone so I could give it
to her. “Ya, I actually do
if you didn’t change it from 8th
grade.” “Yepp it’s
still the same,” I answered with a smile. Did she really keep
my number? I felt a leap of joy. “Well I’ll see you
around Christie, Nikki is waiting for me so see ya.” As quick
as that joy came it left as I remembered we weren’t best
friends anymore. It was her and Nikki.
