Chapter 2: He said he'll think about it

At first, my choice seemed easy- almost as though it was staring me in the face. But sadly, it wasn't that simple.

My plan all along was to just not go. Even though it would help the town to raise money, I never enjoyed fairs. And that would mean that I wouldn't need to find a date, or make my life more difficult.

Easy, right? Wrong.

Angie was practically begging me to go- date or not. She told me not to let Barbie get in the way of my happiness. Pretty heart-warming, this coming from someone that was destroying it from the beginning.

But what really made my choice difficult was Anastasia. She is my best friend in the world, and probably always will be. She called me up after about half an hour of moping on my bed and I talked through my problem with her. It's not a rare thing for me to turn to Ana when I'm overwhelmed. I swear I would go insane without her around.

Anastasia is my height with shoulder-length straight, brown hair. Her big, brown eyes are welcoming and understanding. When I first met her I immediately knew that she was someone I could trust.

After I shared my point of view on everything, Ana asked me the question I have been wanting to avoid.

"If you were to go, who would you go with?"

Gulp. "Uhh...Well...Hmm... that's a thinker." I babble after a moment of silence.

She pauses a moment.

"That's a...thinker? Really, Sabrina? That's a thinker? Oh my, you're worse than I thought. Just admit it! You know who you wanna go with." She said finally.

"..."

"Come on, 'Brina. You're strong and fearless. Just say the words."

"I wanna...I can't. I do want to go with him, but I can't. I won't ask him." I finish as strong as I could.

"Whatever Sabrina. Just know that he's going to go with some other girl that doesn't want to feel Jessica's wrath, and you are gonna be devastated. You know that he has been asked already."

"Really? What? By who?" I don't stop the flow of questions.

"Jealous much? And yeah, by Tracy AND Stacy, Brianna, Tricia, Trixie, and even Nikki."

I could see her smug grin already in place through the phone. Tracy and Stacy are the pretty blonde twins that are notorious for flirting. Brianna,Tricia, and Trixie were friends, and all succeeded in being fake, popular, and annoying. But I didn't care about those people. I cared that Nikki, the wanna-be follower of Jessica, had the audacity to ask him.

Oh, it was on.

"Anastasia, you better be telling the truth."

"Would I lie to you?"

"Yes."

"What?!"

"Oh you know I'm only kidding. I have to go Ana. I'll talk to you later?"

"Oh, I'll see you at the fair. I'll definitely talk to you then."

"You're going? More importantly, that's implying that I'm going!"

"Oh Sabrina, I know you're going."

Then she was gone.

I dont dwell on that too long because I need some answers, and I need them fast.

I quickly find on my phone who I am looking for and pressed 'call'.

I only have to listen for 1 ring before a familiar voice answers on the other end.

"Hey 'Brina! What's up?"

"Angie, you know about how he got asked out like 5 times? I need to know his responses to all of them." There was no doubt in my mind that she knew what I was talking about.

"Well, look who's interested now? The twins practically got down at his feet, and he still said a flat 'no' to them both! He did not sugar-coat anything." She cuts right to the chase.

"Yes!" I say accidentally.

"What was that?"

"Oh, nothing." I reply quickly.

"Sure it was. And as for Trixie and Brianna, he didn't even look at them! They went together and asked him! It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. But anyways, you know Tricia? Well, at least he entertained her for a little while before telling her 'no' also."

I knew it. Tricia is actually genuinely pretty without makeup. And she isnt dumb like the rest of them. In fact, if she didn't want to hang out with the empty-heads, she would probably be my friend.

Angie stops, but I know for sure that there is one more person left.

"Ang? What about Nikki?" I dont know what to think. But when Angie has good news, she just keeps talking, and this isnt one of those times.

"He...uhh... said he'll think about it." She mumbles.

What? It feels like the whole world was crashing down on me. The breath that I had been holding got knocked out, and my head hurts.

"Ummm...I'll...uh...call you back." I say before I hang up.

I am numb, but I dont know why. I'm not a drama queen, and I certainly don't care about him. So why was I this upset? I have no clue, but I'm going to find out.

Before I know what I was doing, I walk out of my room, down the hallway, and stop at the door of the person that was the center of my last conversations.

Puck.
