Is There Still Hope?

The next morning we have dance class

The next morning we have dance class. I like to dance but my classmates are so boring that the class makes me lazy sometimes.

This time we are putting together a choreography by teams and for my misfortune Chris is on my team. Does the whole world agree to see me in these situations and only make fun of me before my suffering? 

Zoey is the one that puts the steps of choreography along with other classmates.

The truth is that I always pretend that I am doing something in these kinds of classes but laziness wins me over sometimes and I only stay there until they finish. I only follow them and that's all.

After several minutes practicing the choreography, they decide it would be better if we accompany it with accessories or something to bring in our hands. A classmate goes for some ribbons and gives them but not to me. 

Hello! I'm here, I am painted or what?  

I raise my hands to Zoey with a sign that I have not received anything.

—Hey Chris, I think there are some missing ribbons, can you give one to Sarah?—Zoey says to me. Perfect was the only thing that was missing.

Chris wants to tell me something at the time he approaches but he doesn't tell me anything just give me the ribbon 

—Thank you—I say reluctantly.  Zoey in the distance wink an eye. Very funny. 

We continue with the choreography and I must admit that it came out pretty well. 

At the end Chris approaches me again. Doesn't he understand that I don't want to talk to him? 

—Hey Sarah—says hoping that everything that happened between us goes unnoticed

—Hi—I say in a dryly way 

—Can we talk?—he asks

—I don't see about what we can—I say grabbing my things and when I'm going to leave he holds me by the arm

—Could you at least hear me?—He says trying to convince me besides all

I slowly release his hold and turn to him. 

—Well we can talk about everything that happened, I really don't know what caused this estrangement between us to happen and I just want to talk to you, can we go to the cafe? If you want—says Chris again

—Okay, give me a second—I turn to Zoey to say goodbye to her

—Are you going with Chris?—I just nod at her question—, I just hope he apologizes to you and then you two come back, you guys looked so good together…—but what the hell is she thinking?

—Zoey shut up. I'm just going to talk with him, we won't be back. Don't you understand what he did to me? And besides that you still want me to go back to him?—I say exasperated
