Friend of Mine

Just be Yourself

"But, why did you choose us?" I asked madam and she answered, "Well I just thought that you both can do it. Besides, I already saw you two at the park." She answered with her annoying british accent. "Did you say it's a school event?" Leo asked. His face was so burrright. He loves to go in the city of love.

"It is a school event. We will send you two at Paris to compete for other schools. Remember it is an international competition. You get to compete different schools from different countries."

"What's the goal then?" Leo asked. Okay Leo, you do the questions. (LOL) madam replied, "Well it's just simple. The goal of the game is to see who's the most responsible student. That's all. You will be judged on your behaviours."

"Oh," I answered, "So you're saying, we're the representatives for U.S.A.?"

"Hm. Probably. Yes, but it's just a school event. It has no connection to media and others."

"Okay." Leo answered.

"We will send you there and you will stay there for a month. If it's okay to you and your parents," 

"It's okay for me!" Leo answered. No doubt he will convince his parents, "It's okay if my parents would agree. They are at vacation." I answered, "Oh in vacation? But can I stii contact them Sara?" madam asked me. Leo was very worried. I might not come. "Yes. they're just at Wisconsin. Visiting my grandparents." 

"Okay. I'm going to contact your parents. Then we'll have a little meeting about your passports, food, and other matters,"

After for awhile, we went home, "We'll go to Paris!" Leo was really happy, "Are you happy going with me?" 

"Me? Oh, yeah." In reality no. This is making my life hard. 

I'm trying to get out with this feeling. But no matter how hard I try, it gets harder and harder! Why? Is this my fate? I don't know. But I am also happy and excited. I wanted to go to Paris too. Everyone would love that.

We went home around 5:30pm and we were so silent,  "Are you excited for the Paris?" Leo suddenly asked., "Of course." I just answered. I was really depress (not literally) of the things that are happening to me. Something like a mixture of excitement and sadness. 

We went home. It's like nothing happened.

I went home, sad.... Happy.... Deligjted to know I could go to Paris with Leo. Or... Am I going to be crazy? 

After all those matters, I decided to call Haley, I need someone to talk with.

"Hello?"

"Hales. It's me." "Oh hey! sup?" she replied, "Help me,"

"For what?"

"I am giong to France with LEO and I don't have any idea why." I answered. I don't want to let it wait anymore, "WHAT? Didn't I tell you that go away from that... bug?" 

"Yes I know Hales. I know! I decided to forget him so I could not be a crazy person! I'm doing well of it but... But he's the one who's going to make a move at me. I don't want to disappoint him," I sighed, "I'm not a man hater you know? And... It's like... Is this my fate?" I asked,

"Girl," again with a girl, she replied, "It is not your fate. You and the people around you are making your destiny. You can change it."

"But how? How can I change my destiny? It's my destiny! You can't change that? Whatever you do, it will always comes back to you," I replied,

"Then just go with the flow sis. Go with the flow."

"What do you mean go with the flow?" I asked her, I'm still a bit confused, "Should I really have to do that?"

"Yes. Just be yourself. I mean, like your friendship between you and Leo before. You don't need to change it," Yeah, she's right. Honestly, I've been missing my old 'me' with Leo. I guess I'll just be myself and go with the flow! "You know what, that's a very good idea." I replied,

"OH! Did you know that Carrie was on the hospital?" Another topic for the night!

After a 2-hour-chitchat with Haley, I have to comb my long hair which is very hard to reach. Oh Gosh. I remembered. Usually, Leo was the one who combs my long hair because I can't reach it sometimes. He likes the way my hair looks. He doesn't want to cut it. 

I just turned off the lights and sleep. But my mind was still awake. I was a bit silent when after we heard from madam that we're going to Paris. Leo was very excited but I didn't respond to it.

I just hope he's not mad at me or something.
