I'm a Winston?

Part 9

I wake up the next day and whisper, "I can talk!" I then write a note saying, "I got work see ya later love ya -Sarah" I throw on the DX shirt Sodapop gave me with a white tank top under it and light blue jeans with my blue converse, I then pack my brown leather jacket that comes to upper hip with my purple tank and black jeans with my purple converse. I then walk to the DX to see Katie, Sodapop and non-other then Andrew. I gasp as I see him but, run up to him and hug him as I yell "Andrew!"

He hugs back and replies, "I'm here now Sarah."

"I know but, I uh gotta work, right Sodapop?" I ask looking to see him kissing Katie. I look at him and say, "kiss me." He leans in and we kiss but, I felt nothing, and all I could think is god what am I doing. I'm leading him on. God I'm a terrible person. I pull away and look to Sodapop, "we should get working."

"Agreed, bye Katie see ya Andrew," he says.

"Bye guys," I sigh.

"See ya," Katie and Andrew say.

"Hey Sarah can we talk?" Sodapop asks.

"Let's just work Sodapop," I reply not even looking at him.

He grabs my chin turning me around commanding, "look at me!"

I close my eyes refusing to look at him, "can we just work Sodapop, no talking just working?"

"Sarah, is this about our kiss?" He asks.

"God no Sodapop!" I yell.

"Then what? We're best friends, I can't loose you," he pleads.

I turn away, "I just can't."

"Why not?" He asks.

"I just can't Sodapop! Please understand," I plead.

"Well, I can't understand and I don't get you! Are you going back to Florida?" He asks me.

"God no Sodapop," I repeat.

"Then What Sarah, what the fuck could it be?" He yells.

I get so mad, I don't know what happened but, I stupidly yell, "I'm in love with you Sodapop can't you see! I just gotta get over you!"

He says nothing but, I hear him walk out of the store, I open my eyes and look around to see he's gone, I look up to the sky once again and start to scream, "WHY? GOD WHY? WHY AM I SO STUPID? WHY?" I get over it and sit down at the counter, waiting for a customer and of course the first one is Andrew, "hey Sarah can I get a pack of weeds?"

"Sure thing Andrew," I reply as I grab him and pack of weeds and check him out.

As he hands me the money he asks, "what time is your lunch break?"

"At 1:30," I respond.

"Ok, well would you like to go out with me for your lunch break today?" He asks me politely.

"Sure thing love," I wink.

"See you then, we should go on a double with Katie and Soda," he suggests.

"Sure thing love," I repeat.

"Ok, 'cuz I've been hanging out with her all day, she's in the garage asking Soda the same thing," he replies.

"Ok, see ya then," he replies.

"Bye love," I yell.

That's when Sodapop walks in, "hey, you heard about the double date?"

"Yup," I reply not looking at him.

"Are you ok?" He asks.

I'm just going to keep saying the same thing to him, "yup."
