It's Friday morning. There is no school. I can't stop thinking about Carlos. I did something horrible to him and he might have genuinely liked Sabrina. I clean up the house. Isabel hasn't beaten me yet which is surprising. I look at the time it is 4:00. I go to my room because I have finished my chores. Isabel is finally gone. I look at the beautiful dress. " I can't believe I am really going to wear this." I think to myself.
I take a hot soothing shower. I put on my dress and Isabel's makeup. I look in the mirror. I don't recognize the girl in the mirror. She is making the same movements as me. I can't believe it's me. I never looked this beautiful in my whole entire life.
I look for a cab to drive me to school. I could walk but I didn't want to get my dress dirty. I get in a cab and hand the driver a 5 dollar bill.
" Keep the change." I say.
"Thank you" he says in a kind voice.
I feel butterflies in my stomach. I keep thinking about Carlos. What will he think about me? Before I know it we are at the school. "Thank you." I say and I get out of the car careful not to ruin my dress.
As soon as I get inside, I search for Carlos. I take a minute to look around. How could they turn my dirty old school gym into this beautiful I see him dancing and flirting with Sabrina. I take one huge breath and walk up to him. I tap his shoulder and say "I need to talk to you."
He follows me to the school hallway. As soon as we get there he asks" Why did you say that to Sabrina?
"Say what to Sabrina?" I say.
" Don't play dumb." he says. " She told me what you said to her." I look at the floor.
"I just want to know. Why did you do it?" he says.
"Because....um." I say. Suddenly Sabrina comes out and says " Is everything alright in here?"Sabrina is wearing a lot of makeup and her hair is straightened. She is wearing a very short light pink strapless dress that shows way to much cleavage.
Carlos replies and says " Yeah, I was just leaving."
"Carlos..wait" I say. I
He hates me so much. I didn't mean to hurt his feelings. But why did I say that to Sabrina? It was a bad choice but I was jealous and then I realized it. I didn't want Carlos being with Sabrina because I am completely in love with him.
