After finishing all the classes I said goodbye to Zoey and I went towards the exit. 

I put on my headphones to play my Playlist and the song "Earned it-The Weeknd" starts, I love that song.

I walk singing in my mind until I arrive home. When I enter, my mom is in the kitchen and my sister, Sabrina, is playing with her teddies and dolls.

—Hi Mom—I say taking off my headphones and closing the door.

—Hello daughter, How was your day?—asks from the kitchen.

—It was good, thanks mom—now I turn to my sister—. Hello Sabrina, how are you?—I say giving a kiss on her cheek. I love her so much although she doesn't realize it. Before she was born I felt very lonely and then when she came to this world I felt that I could trust and share anything with her.

—Fine—Sabrina says without paying much attention to me, she's more focused playing

—I'll go to my room to do my homework—I go upstairs, enter my room, put things in place and lay down on the bed. Finally I sigh—What a day!—I exclaim exhausted

I'm still thinking about how I will act this Monday in the play in front of Chris. 

How to avoid getting nervous? I should stop thinking about it. He's just a classmate, I don't like him or something like that...Or do I?

To avoid those thoughts, I stand up from my bed and try to do my homework but I can't focus. So I don't have another way, just to search some things on the Internet and write it as fast as possible. 

I wanna go for a walk or something to think well and keep away the thoughts that make me get distracted.

I decide to wear a jacket with blue jeans and black boots.

—Where are you going out Sarah?,  Aren't you going to eat?—Asks my mother when I came downstairs.

—No mom, later—I say putting on my jacket—. Excuse me, I'm going to park for a walk, Zoey wants to tell me something. I'll be back in 1 hour—I say opening the door.

—Ok daughter, come back early

—Yes, bye mom—I closed the door and walked to Central Park, it's the most beautiful park I've ever seen.

I walk around watching the kids running and playing. At the same time I think about my feelings for Chris. Why do I feel this?  Why am I getting distracted like this? Why am I thinking about him a lot, giving him a lot of importance in my mind? I can't focus on anything and when I try to forget what happened I meet with him again somewhere and my thoughts repeat. 

It will be possible that…I'm in love?

No, that can't be. It's a very stupid idea, I barely know him.
