As Lisa walked through the great oak doors, hoping it would be a great day, she was met with a surprise. As she walked past the narrow entrance hall, she saw many older kids closely huddled together. She did not know, so she continued on walking hoping to find Tina. At last, she had found her, but Tina did not look happy when she saw her. On the contrary, she had worry plastered on her face.
"Oh Lisa! Are you okay? You're not bothered by it all?" Was what Lisa was met with when she walked towards her friend. Instead, Lisa just smiled.
"What do you mean? It's a great day today", she replied. Instead of explaining what happened, Tina handed her phone over to her. The screen was on, and an Instagram post was displayed. As she read over it, Lisa looked over at Tina. She looked quite nervous and embarrassed, and her face was redder than ever behind her huge glasses. Suddenly, Tina spoke up:
"Okay! I know what you're thinking. Just whatever you do; know that I would never write that about you behind your back. It's so cruel and evil. Oh, I am so getting Chloe for this", she told the blonde-haired girl in front of her. Lisa looked as confused as ever, and Tina gave her a blank expression. Finally, she spoke up.
"I don't care who did this! All I know is that you didn't gossip about me behind my back", she replied. When Tina heard this, immediately a look of relief washed over her face.
"So anyway, can you do telekinesis?" She asked her. Lisa laughed and started explaining what she'd been doing most of the weekend. When the bell rang, the two laughed side-by-side while walking to English class.
For the first time in two months, Lisa was smiling. Only this time, it was a real smile. Not the fake smiles she'd give to anyone who passed. But a real smile that could only be brought out by loved ones. Only this time she was laughing alongside her friends, Sky and Tina.
During break, Sky had come up to the two of them talking and apologized for her rude behavior. She had just made a joke that the three of them had found funny. The three were sitting in the courtyard. Lisa was half listening and half reading, Tina was drawing in the dirt and Sky was doing most of the talking. Although Lisa and Tina were just friends, that didn't stop Sky from whispering in Lisa's ear about how they should kiss and whatnot. Of course, Lisa knew she was too young to be in a relationship, besides what if Tina wasn't gay like she was.
As the three were talking, Ms. Evans had suddenly come up to the three of them, towering over them with a huge amount of worry etched into her face.
"Do you two know where I can find Lisa Martin?" She asked looking at Sky and Tina. The two pointed in Lisa's direction and Lisa found herself squirming in the teacher's glare.
"I hate to say this; but we lost the actor who plays Benvolio in the musical. Now I am having Chloe fill up that space, so now we don't have an apothecary. As the only callback who actually managed to come up to a satisfactory level, would you like to accept this offer?" The teacher asked, more like informed.
Were Lisa's ears hearing things, right? Surely this couldn't be happening. Her dream of being in the musical was finally coming true. Lisa could not disagree. It was finally happening, even if it wasn't her dream character to star as, that was good enough.
"Yes!" Was all she could muster with the joy she was expressing inside. Ms. Evans smiled and walked off, leaving the three girls in their thoughts. Lisa could not help but feel excited about rehearsals, it was finally happening.
