Love Drabbles

Turning Tables

Sarah walks into school feeling a little nervous about, what's gonna happen after Easter Sunday. She walked to her locker anxious to get the day over with. She got her books as normal and went to Math, without seeing Mark at his locker. The class went smoothly while, she was thinking about what would happened in Music with Mark so she was a little distracted at the beginning but, they learned a little bit about some of the things happening in the High School Assement. Samantha sat next to her and passed her a note close, to the end of class.

You okay? I saw Mark and Jasmine playing kissy face near there lockers on the way in...

She kept working while writing a reply .

I don't care... well I care a little. Remember the pack we're not suppose to talk to boy's that we're talking about this week?

I know...

The bell rung. Sarah, Samantha and her best friend Lane walked to English. On the way they passed Mark. He didn't look at anything because he was walking up the stairs. She also saw Jasmine talking to Alice and Morgan while walking upstairs. The bell rung again.

English class, her favorite! She took out her writing journal while, they were doing a free write as a warm up! What she wrote looked like this:

Love is something wonderful

but can also be something tragic

cause when you get it broken, a part of you dies

maybe it doesn't feel like it cause your trying to be yourself and show nothing in particular

but it's there

when I see him in Music, the halls, or lunch

my heart aches to talk to him

but I know it's what he wants so i respect this and move on

I hang with my......

The teacher collected the paper as soon as she was about to continue.

"Students, I will give you a grade and return it back to you at the end of class. Now, today we will begin a new novel called "Anne Frank's Diary".

Forty five minutes later, the bell rung again because it's time for their elective, Music.

She went into class with Lane and Samantha. She played the clarinet and played it well but Samantha liked being first chair so, Sarah was second chair as usual. She saw Mark, not in class but at the water fountain playing with Jessica. Sarah sighed, got her instrument from the counter and went to her seat in the clarinets section. She begin to hum a tune called "Turning Tables" by Adele. She put her instrument together, made sure it was tuned, and went to get a music stand and sure enough guess what was there? Mark, of all people in the class.

"Need a music stand?" he said.

She didn't speak she just waited for him to take a hint and get a music stand and go back to the trumpets section.

"Sarah, I..".

"No, it's okay if that's what you want it's what you want. Now, can I get a music stand please?" she said silently.

Mark offered his music stand to her but she shook her head and went around him,in the cramped space and got a music stand. Mark went back to his seat and looked as if nothing happened. She went back to her seat and begin to play a new song they got "Heritage". It sounded kind of weird because she was the clarinet and she has bass clarinet part. Mr. O walked to the front of the room, and tried to quiet everyone. A couple second later, everyone was quiet except Shaun, the percussionist.

"Shaun" Sarah and Samatha said at the same time.

They looked at each other and laughed but soon quieted down and listened to Mr. O.

"Class, it's close to the end of the year, and we need some more practice" Mr. O looked directly at the trumpets, then the lone saxophonist, and the percussionist, "So what are we gonna play today?"

"Entry of the noblemen" we yelled in excitement.

"Okay okay", Mr. O said, "Take out Entry of The noblemen please".

Everyone takes out Entry Of The Noblemen.

"Let's do this!" Shaun says.

Lane and Sarah laughed at Shaun.

So, they begin playing, and they sounded great except, the Trumpets and percussion (of course!) .. Samatha and Sarah was having a conversation about first seat.

"I've been in this seat since beyond you".

"No, I have and i'm better than you!" Samatha said.

"Quiet, Samatha , Sarah", Mr.O says sternly before working with the trumpets again.

So this goes on till it's time to go.

"Great job everyone, I see progress already! We'll do this tomorrow".

Everyone begins to pack up there instruments, and walk out of class because 3rd period was gonna start soon. The only people in the room when everyone was gone was Mark and Sarah, they were putting the stand away but Sarah always does it why Mark's doing it was beyond her.

"I can't keep up with your turning tables" she sing softly.

"You sing?" Mark asked questionably.

Sarah stays silent as she was picking up another music stand and put it away.

Apparently Sarah thinks.

She goes back to get another music stand, this is the last one so, she grabbed it and as soon as her hand landed on it a hand was clasped over her's.

"We need to talk" he says looking dead into her eyes.

Sarah looked away and whispered, "No".

"What?".

"No!" she shouts angrily, "If your gonna say things like that over text message and act like a jerk then, we have nothing to talk about!"

She snatched the music stand and angrily walked to the music stand case and put the music stand away and walked to her seat.

"We have everything to talk about Sarah! It wasn't me and it wasn't Jasmine or Terell either.. it was.." he said before he was again interrupted.

"I will stop you right there" She said, "A lie, that all your saying. So, I don't care. I'll miss you I'll always love you you know that and I know that but after today we will not talk again understood? Understood. Thank you" she says before she got her booked walked outta the room and then ran to Social Studies with Ms. Blackwood.

The rest of the day went as planned. He didn't speak to her, she didn't speak to him. That's it has to be and that's how it will stay because, there's nothing he or she could say to change what has happened between them.
