As Lisa, Tina and Sky walked into the auditorium for their rehearsal, they were not expecting it to go badly. As they started blocking out the scenes for the main actors, Chloe was having a hard time concentrating. And as the one who plays Benvolio, she had to focus.
Lisa did not know what to do. She couldn't go and help her. She was supposed to sit and watch till her scene came up. Suddenly, Chloe came up to her.
"Excuse me, but what are you doing here? You don't even have what it takes for the chorus, why would you be in this rehearsal?" She asked Lisa.
"Hey, no one just tells my best friend she has no talent. Lisa is a very good actor, you're just jealous," Sky had shot back at Chloe from where she was standing. Although Lisa felt grateful to Sky, she couldn't help feeling that tiny twinge of guilt seeping through her veins. She still had her part in this feud.
Flashback
Lisa was standing. Her eyes were concentrated on an object. A long cylindrical metal object half-full of sloshing water. As the water bottle rose slowly up into the sky, children were crowding around to see what was happening. And among those children, was Chloe.
Lisa could not bear the look on Chloe's face when she saw what was happening. Her face was blank, but with the tiniest hint of anger plastered there. She stood shocked at what she saw in front of her. But to be honest, the younger Lisa did not even know what was happening. All she knew, was the bottle was flying up as she stared at it. And that it was not normal.
Eventually though, Lisa could not take it. Her head swarmed with worries of what everyone was thinking, and the stares were too much for her. As she turned and looked around at Chloe one more time, she saw anger had turned to concern, as everything went black.
Flashback ends.
As Lisa came back to reality, everything hit her like a tennis racquet. She slowly and cautiously crept up to Chloe. Before she could say anything though, Lisa hugged her. She poured all the emotions she'd been feeling, guilt, anger, sadness into the hug. She wanted to express all her feelings and sorrow into that hug, as she embraced Chloe.
When she finally let go, Lisa held out her hand. She wanted to make her and Chloe's friendship official. They had been best friends before, maybe they could still be friends, but without the closeness.
But of course, Chloe was not so quick to forgive. She wanted to make sure Lisa wouldn't just abandon her again.
"How can I trust you? After what happened that day," she asked. Lisa knew this was coming. After all, no one gave in that quickly after being thrown under the bus by someone they trusted. Luckily, Lisa knew what to say.
"Because I've learnt my lesson. And I've had friends who have taken me on a huge rollercoaster just to find out what it means to be a friend." At this Chloe must have understood, because she reached in for a handshake before going in for a hug.
As the two friends reunited and embraced each other, Ms. Evans called for order and decided to start keep on rehearsing, despite the setback. In some ways, that was the best day ever.
