- Back To The Future (1985)  

***

Friday came slower than I thought it would. The rest of my week went dreadfully and painfully slow thanks to Kai. I only had two lessons since Ben 'opened my eyes'. He's still the jerk I know but he's turned up the flirting.

Luckily, when we've been rehearsing, Kai has been working by himself. A lot of the time he's been doing the lighting. Therefore, Ben and I have spent more time together. We spend a lot of the time laughing together or making jokes. Occasionally, I would feel Kai's eyes on us. Once, I felt brave enough to meet his eyes and what I saw left me cold.

Tonight is the party and I'm so hyped for it. Sophie, my very good party friend, is hosting it which means it's going to be one hell of a night. Sadie and I already have our outfits sorted and have the times planned out too.

Everything is going to be perfect. Unless of course, Kai makes an appearance. Now that would be...

I don't think Kai knows anything about the party and since he has no connection to Sophie--that I know of--it's very unlikely he'll come.

My door slams open and in waltzes Sadie. Her overnight bag is slung over one shoulder and she's holding her dress on a hanger in her other hand. She dumps her stuff on my floor and walks over to my bed, collapsing on it.

"Ugh, you'll never believe who I bumped into just now," she mutters, staring at the ceiling.

I sit up on my bed and cross my legs. "Taylor Swift?"

Sadie snaps her head to me and glares. "This is serious Ren. Plus, if I saw Tay Tay, I would come screaming in here like a fangirl."

Sadie is a massive fan of Taylor Swift. Not that I'm judging, I enjoy a lot of her songs.

"Joe Daniels. I bumped into freaking Joe Daniels."

If you're wondering who Joe Daniels is, then let me tell you. Sadie and Joe used to hook up a lot. They were fuck buddies--sex partners. Originally, when they started having sex, they promised each other no feelings would be involved. But of course, Sadie went and developed some feelings. She confronted Joe about it and he laughed in her face. The worst part was that he then tried to get with me.

I, of course, declined his offer. I would never stump that low and hook up with him.

So yeah, whenever Sadie sees Joe, she flips out. Sometimes she'll have a mental breakdown and other times she will start cursing in several different languages.

Not going to lie, it can be quite amusing.

"Oh," comes my response.

"Oh?" Sadie repeats, sitting up. "I just saw the jerk and you can only say 'oh'?"

Oh god, she's overreacting. When I overreact, its okay because I'm always dramatic but when Sadie does it, it's not right. She isn't me. I also don't know how to deal with her.

Sighing, I get up from my bed, just in case she decides to attack me. "Sadie, you bump into him nearly every week. As your best friend, I'm suggesting you finally get your head out of the sand and get over him."
