Kidnapped

Carla and Lucas, Friends Since Grade School

It was a sunny morning on the day Carla's life changed forever. She was tired from writing a paper on Japanese traditions. She had finally went to bed around two o'clock in the morning. Ballerinas and guys with their shirts off were dancing around her in a dream. It was a great dream for one, considering some of her nights until, "Beep Beep!!!" the alarm clock had to ruin it.

"Alarm clock why do you have to ruin a perfect dream?" she asked aloud.

Carla quickly threw on a pair of black skinny jeans and a yellow blouse with white sandals. She pulled her hair into a messy bun and grabbed an apple as she ran to the bus stop to meet Lucas.

"Hey, what's the hurry?" asked Lucas.

She just stood there in trance for a few seconds. Carla couldn't stop looking at Lucas from head to toe. Carla responded by saying that she was ready for Mrs. Doodle's class. Carla and Lucas had known each other since they were five years old. As they began growing closer and closer, she began to like Lucas. She never had the real guts to tell him though. Being a junior this year in school was a crazy experience because it just seemed like yesterday they were still in the ninth grade.

"Hey Carla!" Olivia screamed. Olivia is Carla's best friend they practically tell each other everything.

"What's up Olivia?" Carla said from a distance.

"Man you're fast, I could barely keep up."

Carla looked at her and said, "Maybe you should work out more."

Olivia responded by saying, "Have you told him yet?" Carla couldn't just tell him like that. They only thing that I was afraid of was Lucas not liking me back. 

"No I haven't, but one day I will," responded Carla. She quickly walked away before she said anything else. I knew that it might of been rude to just walk off on a friend like that. Olivia always brings up the fact that I haven't told him anything. I walked in Mrs. Doodle's classroom to take my sit then he walked in with a smile on his face.

"I have been looking all over for you!"

I couldn't really think of what to say to him because not everybody looks for me. I quickly said, "Well here I am. Why were you looking for me, exactly?"

"There is something that I have to tell you, but it can wait after class," He said.

After class all I could think about is what Lucas was going to say to me. The thoughts kept going through my head. What if he was going to tell me he liked me too or something big is going to happen. I didn't really see him for the rest of the day. All I knew is the bell just rung and he never came to me at all. One of his buddies Dylan came up to me and said that Lucas went home early because he felt sick and he would talk to me very soon.

I wished that just talked to him about my feelings to him. Tomorrow, I know, is going to be the right time to tell him. I thought I could say something to him at the right time. Olivia called from a distance as soon as I turned she jumped straight onto my back.

"Owww!" I screamed.

"Oops I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you but I am just so excited!"

My only response that I could think of was to ask what the special occasion it was. All Olivia told me was it was for me and that's all I know. Later that night my phone started ringing and my eyes bloodshot. It was Lucas, I couldn't believe it. On a normal day he would never do that ever. He mostly texted me for the most part.

"Hello Lucas," I said in a gentle voice.

"I'm sorry for not talking to you earlier, I just go sick."

"It's okay and what's up?"

He was was quiet at first then I heard him take a deep breath. "I don't want you to get mad at me because I care, but I'm dating Olivia."

"I've go to go Lucas. I'll talk to you in the morning."

My best friend. He is dating my best friend. I should of known by the way she was tackling me earlier. I don't know if I'm mad, sad, or just confused. Olivia knew how I felt about Lucas for months and she did this to me. The next day I didn't talk to either one of them. I knew if I even saw one of them I would start to cry. Today I was going to finally tell him my feelings, but I guess that's not an option anymore.
