*That morning*
"Honey, go ready for school."
I get out of bed, quickly brush my teeth, get dressed and head downstairs.
"Mom, I'm ready."
"Okay, wait for me, by the car."
I run outside and I wait patiently, and then I see Robert again. I wave and he smiles back, as usual.
"Ready to go?" My mom exclaims.
"Yup," I say, as I signal her to open the car doors.
The car doors finally open and I get in.
"Drive, Mom! We need to get to school on time."
"Relax, Sara. You've only been late once."
"And I don't count on that happening anymore."
*Robert's POV*
I sit in the cafeteria, frantically waiting for Sara to arrive. Every since yesterday, I don't know what to say to her. And there she is. Right on time.
"Hey, Robert."
"Sara, we need to talk."
"Yes, I know."
"We need to talk about the science test, that nobody studied for."
"Sara, not that. I'm talking about what happened at the concert."
"Oh that."
"Sara."
"Robert. I told you, you belong with me."
"Sara, it's that I don't feel the same way--"
"Then what is it."
"It's that I'm not ready for all this."
"I understand. Good-bye, Robert."
Sara walks away, without her little smile.
Then Will walks up and smirks.
"I saw you at the Taylor Swift concert. My big boy is all grown up. Talking to Sara like that."
"Will, she told me."
"What did she say?"
"She said,' you belong with me'."
"Wow, talk about making real-world connections."
"Will... That's not what I told her today."
"Oh no, I feel something bad is about to come on. What did you say?"
"I told her... That I wasn't ready."
"I knew it. But Dude, why did you lie to her. She must be heart-broken."
"But Will, I like Rita."
"For that last time, Rita doesn't like you! Move on with your life."
"Sorry Bro, I won't move on. I can't."
"Yes, you can. You can move on with Sara."
*Bell rings*
Will and I run to homeroom.
"Good morning, Boys."
"Good morning, Mrs. Smoak."
Will and I get to our seats and have aa full-on discussion about this.
"Will, what should I do?"
"Do what I do. Tell the trruth."
"Well, I don't want to hurt her."
"Then..."
*Sara's POV*
Back in Mr.Lance's Homeroom....
"Laurel, I told Robert."
"What did he say?"
"He sad, that he wasn't 'ready'. Whatever tht's suppose to mean."
"Well, I mean you could've done better. He on the other hand is a baked potato."
"But I'm a burnt potato."
"So you guys are both potatoes, like Taylor Swift and talk alot, doesn't mean you guys are 'made for each other'."
"Yes it does, Laurel."
"Well then, you need to talk to him or get over him, because I'm oblivious to this whole 'robara thing'."
"Okay fine."
After hours of hours of classes. Finally, science came. Last class of the day, with the 'squad'; Ava, Jenny, Emma, and Diana.
"So class, as you know, we have a test today. I hope you've studied because I'm not giving you extra time today. We've got a busy day ahead of us, and studying is something you should've done at home, before the test."
"Wish me luck, Emma. I'm gonna fail."
"Well, not as much as me. Atleast you tried to cram."
Mr. Lance hands us our papers.
"Tests are out, everyone be quiet."
*After class*
Mr.Lance was calling out grades. Guess what?! Robert and I were the only ones that got 80 or above.
"Good job, Sara and Robert. I'm glad to know, some people have been studying for these test," he says, while eyeballing the rest of the class.
I mouth to Emma 'not'.
"Haha."
"Well, what going on with you and Robert?"
"He likes someone else."
"He does? Well he's missing out on an awesome person right here."
"Nah, that sixth grader sounds pretty awesome."
"Huh? How do you know about the sixth grader thing?"
"I eavesdrop. Plus, Robert talks to her all the time at parties."
"Wait, you see Robert at parties?"
"Yeah sometimes. Appaerently, he and I have the same friends and I see him trying to flirt with her all the time. But he does talk to me sometimes."
"Wow, he's bad at keeping his crushes to himself. But he's not the only one."
"Yeah, I think I know who that person is. It's definitely not me," I giggle.
"Yeah, definitely not you."
Robert comes up to me.
"Sara, we need to talk."
"Yeah. I get it you're not interested."
"No it's not that... I like someone else."
"Yeah, I know, Julie."
"No not her. I like another person. But what I'm saying is I still have feelings for you, but I think it's best if we're just friends."
"Okay, I'm cool. Friends are enough."
"Ooh...Robara forever," Diana yells.
"Diana!"
