Where A Play Can Take You?

Chapter 3

The past few days were, as usual, boring. We had literally nothing to do. We stayed at home all summer, doing nothing other than chatting with our friends and cousins. Now all I have left here is a week, then I would have to travel away in order to finish high school.

''Anne, I want to do something! It's been such a boring time, and you're travelling away after a few days!'' Nichole stood up and shouted.

''We have nothing to do, Nichole.'' I replied.

''Anne, please! Let's take part in the play! I beg you!''

''Nichole, forget about it.''

''Anne, please."

''I can't,'' I said, and I meant it. I couldn't play Boudy's friend.

''Nothing bad will happen! We will only need to talk to him during those two days, and when you leave this place, we'll just deactivate the Facebook account.''

''Nichole, have you ever thought about or even tried to think of the consequences being in such play will bring? What if the guy ends up falling in love with the actress? What if he finds out our true identity? Are you crazy?'' I could feel my blood boiling, but why it was doing so, I had no clue. I've been hearing about that guy a lot and I can't be in the play him because he would recognise me for sure.

''Anne...'' I stopped her.

''Forget about it,'' I said, stepping out of the room and towards the balcony. After few minutes of thinking about the issue, Nichole came in.

''Anne, I'm sorry. I just wanted to know more about him. He won't fall in love with girls like us. Ever. Please? Think about it!'' She begged and it seemed to work. I mean, we'll be talking to him for only three to four days. It wasn't that big of a deal.

''Fine, Nichole, just give me few minutes so that I can ask my friend to make the Facebook account for us.''

Her eyes widened and she threw her arms around me.''Thank you! I love you so much! Thank you! Thank you!'' She said happily.

I went into the bedroom, grabbing my mobile from under the pillow. I dialed Lara's number. "Hey Lara, how's everything going?"

"Anne! I've missed you!" She shrieked over the phone. "I'm good! How about you?"

"Well, I'm fine. Could you do me a quick favor?"

"Sure!"

"I need you to make a fake Facebook account." I told her uncomfortably.

"When?" She asked.

"Now, if it's okay."

"Yeah sure, but what about the name?" She asked.

"Mmmm... Wait a second," I replied, looking to Nichole ''What do you want the name to be?''

''I don't know, you choose.'' I quickly pushed my phone to my ear again.

"Mmmm... Ashley Marlin." I said to her. I loved the name. It was so precious to me, and that had no reason other than wanting my future daughter's name to be Ashley.

"Sure, give me a few minutes," Lara replied to my request and hung up after we bid goodbye.

After about six minutes of waiting, I heard my mobile vibrating so I rushed to see the message had sent to me. I picked my phone up and began running towards Nichole.

''Here it is,'' I said.

''Where?'' She asked and I showed her the mobile screen.

''This is the username and password, where's your laptop? That's the next stage.'' I said in a hurry because I was so nervous.
