“My king what is it you want?”I asked.
“I want you to be honest with me Maria,”He said,”Do you really love me?”
“Cut,”The teacher called,”That was perfect Catherine and Alex. You two were amazing.”
I’m a teenage actor and in the school play. We had written a play and I was lead girl. My high school crush was the lead boy in it. He was like me and it killed me that he didn’t see that I loved him. He patted my back as we left the stage, stage right.
Alex had amazing bleach blonde hair and the sweetest green eyes. He was about five foot five or two inches taller than me. He was captain on the boy soccer team, played on the football team, and was apart of the theatre acts and plays. He was the guy that stole my heart.
I was just on the girl soccer team and theatre. My parents were proud of me and loved what I did. I had my father’s black hair but my mother’s waves. I had his green eyes but her golden specks. I was short compared to them but the same height of my grandpa.
We walked into the makeup room and grabbed our things. I had soccer practice in ten minutes and he had football than soccer. He walked next to me and I felt his hand brush against mine. My heart fluttered and my hand started to tingle where his had brushed it.
“Hey I was wondering if you wanted to have a study date with me,”Alex said looking a little nervous,”But If you are busy it’s alright.”
“How about around eight,”I said as I stood at the door leading into the girl’s locker room.
“It’s a date,”He said running to the boy’s.
I walked in and my heart felt like it was going to explode. Everyone looked at me before they all squealed and my ears started to ring. I raised my hand and they shut up. I was the captain of the team and the girls were like family to me. I was number five or The Stone Hard Killer. We changed into our shorts and practice jersey. We ran out and got started on running.
“Where arth thou Cathy,”Kristen said mockingly.
“Right here my dear, Kristen,”I said laughing.
Kristen was my best friend and she knew everything about me. She had flaming red hair and bright blue eyes with a one of a kind deathglare. She was the one that knew about my home life and my parents. She was the best and my co-captain.
“You got a study date,”She said as we ran ahead of everyone,”Is it going to be at your place or his.”
“I forgot to ask,”I said now very worry.
“Then he is going to find out about your parents.”
“What am I going to do?”
“Girl I don’t know what you should do.”
I sighed as we finished our last lap. We did our practice which was just us dividing up and playing each other for the day. When we finished the boys came up and we walked away. I looked back to see Alex was staring at me as I was walking away. I turned back around and a blush came to my face. I heard the girls awe at me before we all started to laugh.
We walked to the locker room and changed out of our practice uniform. I walked out with Kristen as the boys waved to us. She put her middle one up as I waved to them. They laughed at the two of us, seeing how our personalities are totally different.
She went to her car as I went to my dirtbike. I had a blue Ram truck but I like to keep my profile on the down low. I rode it till I got to this grand mansion in the middle of the woods. It had seven floors but the fifth one was all mine. I jumped off and began to walk up to the house as my dog, Ace, came running up to me.
He was a german shepherd and my little baby. I got him when I was only three and he was just a newborn pup. I have been training him to do things around the house and some cool tricks. My dad said that the two of us are unbreakable and that is fine with me.
I waked into the house to see my mom was in the living room talking with Dad. I rolled my eyes and hurried on up to my room with Ace. I passed by Mrs. Heyman, our maid, as she was cleaning the third floor. I saw Jacob, our butler and my caretaker, on the fourth floor straightening up somethings. If you hadn’t figured it out yet I’m a rich kid but act like I was not. It helped me fit in and get friends that like me for me and not money.
I ran to the third door on the right when I reached my floor. I opened it to revile the a room that looked like the woods around the house. I had painted different wolves to make it look like I was being watched over by different types of wolves. It helped me stay on Earth and not go insane with the world.
“Catherine Elizabeth Clark,”Mom yelled up to me,”Are you home yet?”
“I don’t know you tell me,”I hollered back down,”Also there will be a guy coming over around eight.”
“All righty then,”She called back.
“Who is he?”Dad yelled.
“Alex Morris,”I shouted back,”A guy from school that I know. It’s only a study date.”
I shut the door since he didn’t say anything after that one but I’m not complaining. I flopped down on my bed and closed my eyes trying to calm my nerves down a little bit. I heard a knock on the door and opened my eyes up to see it was my dad. He walked in and took a seat at the end of my bed. Out of my two parents, my dad and I were the closest. We had this weird kind of bond that we really didn’t understand at all.
“So this Alex kid,”He said with an evil look,”Is he the one you like or something.”
“Dad,”I said hitting him,”That’s not funny at all.”
“I’m taking that as a yes,”He said in mock surrender.
“You are impossible you know.”
“Well I am your father. So why is he coming here tonight. Also at what time do we need to leave.”
“He wants to study and He will be here at eight. So if you want to before then.”
“Don’t do anything with him,”He said leaving with a smirk.
“Eww Gross dad,”I said fake gagging,”Why would you even say that to me?”
He laughed and left the room. I rolled my eyes and turned on my flatscreen TV. I flipped it to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and grabbed my pillow. I was a kid at heart and loved cartoons even though I was sixteen.
