Time passes by so quickly. It is already Thursday morning. I take my time to prepare for school. I walk to school but I still have time to spare. I start talking to Carlos.
" So, you have a date for prom?" he asks me.
" No" I say. "I don't think I want one either." I didn't want one it is not like somebody would ask me anyway. The boys at my school don't really find me attractive.
The bell rings. I go to class. Carlos and I meet up for lunch. He is very quiet and I don't know why. Suddenly he stands up on the table where we were sitting at. "What you doing?" I ask. He ignores me.
He yells and says" Everybody be quiet." The whole room goes silent.
" I would like to ask the best girl I know to prom." he says. " Sabrina Smith, Will you go the prom with me?"
Sabrina Smith is the most popular girl in school. I don't know why but I don't like the image of them together. It bothers me.
" Yes" Sabrina says in her annoying voice.
They hug and that is the end of lunch. I didn't think Carlos would like a girl like Sabrina? I don't say congratulations to her when she walks past me. I thought about it but the words never came out of my mouth. What is going on with me? Ever since Carlos said those words to her it hurt me. Those words he said to her made me uncomfortable. Those words made me want to hate her. I never felt like this before. Am I jealous? I don't know but I do know that I will not let my best friend go to prom with Sabrina.
When I walk in the hallway, I see Sabrina talking to someone in her annoying voice. I wait until she 's done and walk up to her.
" Hey" she says.
" Stay away from him" I say coldly.
" Who?" she says.
" Carlos"I say.
I walk away when the hallway starts to fill with people. I know that I will get another beating because I am half an hour late. I regret what I just did. Why did I do that? She is going to tell Carlos and he will never talk to me again but I can't take my words back. He will never forgive me. I hate Sabrina for being so smart and pretty and I hate Carlos for liking her and asking her out to the prom but most of all I hate myself for being jealous about it.
