The Play

Chapter Eight (Guesses).

  "What role do you think we'll get" Felicia asked me for the eighth time in Biology class.

"Felicia relax... We'll check it out later" I whispered to her hoping she'll keep quiet.

Biology has always been my best subject since I wanted to be a doctor. To be a doctor has always been my dream ever since i was five and found out about my heart disease. I wished to be able to heal little children and relieve them from pains like Dr. Thomas, James' elder brother and our family doctor has always been doing for me.

"Chloe" she called causing the girl who sat in front of us to look at us with warning eyes. "Sorry" Felicia apologized to the girl and faced me back. "But..."

"But nothing Felicia. Please can we have this talk later. My whole future depends on this subject".

"Fine" she said looking disappointed but understanding.

After biology class, we had a free period which means one hour of torture from Felicia. Don't get me wrong, she's my best friend but at times her nagging and fairy tales stories do get on my nerves. Not like I despise them or anything cause i don't. I loved watching and reading fairy tales, high school romance and the things she talks about but hearing them from her, nah... Not really.

"So Chloe" Felicia started moving her chair towards me with Tony by her side. Sometimes I wonder if Tony was a girl or guy. He always seems interested in Felicia's stories and imaginations and with the way he rolls his eyes or complains whenever we punch him, he definitely has to be gay. "Let's start this way, who do you think is getting the lead female role?".

"Felicia, what kind of obvious question is that?, can't you tell it is surely going to be Chloe". Tony replied.

I have to admit, sometimes Tony always surprises me. I stared at him not believing he was the one who spoke and not me cause that was clearly what I'd have said.

"Stop staring, I got your back". Tony spoke like he was in my head.

"You are crazy" i told him. Not for what he said, but for the way he smirked and winked at me.

"I love you too" he said laughing.

I rolled my eyes and looked away from their direction not wanting to get involved in their drama. Ever since yesterday, i haven't stopped thinking about my 'mystery boy'. I checked our class register early this morning and still couldn't find anything. "Maybe he's A new student" i whispered to myself.
I kept on listening to Tony and Felicia's talking. They spoke about a lot of things that i really don't want to think about. "That's him".

"Who?, where?". Felicia asked looking at me confused as i stood up from my seat.

"Him, mystery boy" i pointed at my mystery boy who was sitting close to the window looking outside. I wonder what his deal with the window his.

"Calm down" Felicia said pulling me back to my seat to avoid attention.

I sat back still looking at him.

"Who's he?" Tony asked me.

"Don't you know him?" I asked no one in particular.

"No.... But he's cute" Felicia said and i rolled my eyes again, mentally slapping my head.

"So what do you think I'll play?" Felicia asked Tony, ignoring me.

You know sometimes i wonder if she does that to make me feel bad or she just wants to forget the topic. But either way, i love the fact that she doesn't force me to say anything.
