Sunday

E

"Sunday!" Alex called out from the hallway. Sunday ignored him and continued on walking.

"What? Did she just ignored me?" Alex wondered to himself. "Have I done something?"

He ran over to Sunday and held her arm. "Ouch!" She exclaimed. She looked over to her left and it was Alex.

"Did you just ignored me?" Alex questions.

Sunday grimaced. "No. I was just in a hurry."

"You weren't even running. Why, though? Where are you going?"Alex looked over Sunday's shoulders.

"To the auditorium. Duh. Where should I be? So, can you please?" Sunday rolled her eyes. Alex lets go of her arm and lets her walk away.

"Right. Sorry, Sunday. I'll see you later at break, okay?" Alex pleaded.

"I don't know."

Alex frowned. "Oh okay. Bye, Sunday."

"Whatever." It may be a mutter for Sunday but it was clear on Alex. His face scowled.

What is wrong with Sunday? What happened to the Sunday I know? She's acting different. She may be a bitch but she's never like this.

Alex walked back to his locker and took his things out. On his way to the lab, he met Zack on the way.

"Hey, man."

"Hey, Zack. Have you met Sunday?"

Zack shook his head no. "Nah. Why? What's up? Is there something wrong?"

Alex huffed. "She is."

"What? What do you mean?"

The two have the same first period, so, they both walked to their room. "She is acting strange. I just don't understand her."

Zack laughed. "She is always strange, Alex. I don't even understand her sometimes."

"Yes, yes. I know that. But, it's different this time. She actually kind of hurt my feelings." Alex explained.

Zack took in a breath. "Okay. Let's give her time, I guess? We'll talk to her later after class."

"I don't think so. The play is in 3 days. She's busy."

Zack shrugged. "Then maybe that's it. She's pressured. She sure is the director."

After second period, they tried searching for Sunday. They looked for her in the auditorium, they looked for her in the performing arts department, they looked for her in every classroom but she was nowhere in sight.

"That's weird." Jack said. "We searched everywhere but she's gone AWOL on us."

"And Alex said she's been acting weird this morning." Zack added.

"Oh hey, Cece." Rian greeted when he saw one of Sunday's classmate. Cece is the one in-charge of the music in the upcoming play.

"Hi." She smiled, a blush showing up.

"Have you seen Sunday?" Rian asked.

Cece's face became weird. "You don't know? She was brought to the clinic. She lost consciousness earlier."

The four boys' faces were filled with shock, horror. "What happened?"

Cece frowned. "I don't know, boys. We were in the middle of practice when she fell down. I guess she went too hard on herself."

"Thank you, Cece. You were a big help." Alex told her as he ran to the clinic.

Zack and Jack followed him as Rian stayed for a while. "Sorry about them. We're just worried. I mean, she is our best friend."

"It's okay. I understand." Cece tucked a hair behind her ear.

Rian bit his lip. "So, I'm gonna-I'm gonna see you later?"

Another blush came up on Cece's face. "Sure. Sure, Rian."

"Bye, Czeska."

"Bye."

Alex was the first to arrive at the clinic. He was frantic and his hair was everywhere. "Sunday?" He half-shouted.

"Shhh!" The student nurse shushed him. "No one is allowed to speak in a high voice here. Some patients are resting."

He thought she's cute. Jasmine, he read. That's her name. Such a cute name for a cute girl.

Oh no no, Alex. You have Lisa. You've been dating for a while now. There's no time to cheat. You love her.

"Oh." Alex scratched the back of his neck. "I'm sorry. Erm. Is Sunday here?"

"Last name, please." The student nurse asked.

"Adams. Sunday Adams."

The student nurse checked the log book and searched for her name. "Hmmm. Okay . . . Ah. Sunday Adams. She just left. Said she needs to check on the actors."

"What? I ran my way through here only to find that she has left?" Alex expressed, annoyingly.

"I'm sorry, dude."

"Yeah, yeah. Thanks." Alex said before exiting the room. The three boys were there, waiting.

"So?" Jack queried.

"She's gone. She left. She's back to the auditorium." Alex rolled his eyes.
