When I got home, I tried to call her but Mrs Jefferson kept telling me she didn't want to talk to me.
I replayed the night in my mind. She didn't have to take it that why. I didn't mean it about her personally, I meant the dress. I don't understand why she didn't wear it.
Dad came in my room and tried to get me to talk but it was hopeless. I couldn't tell anyone what I'd done. I hurt her and I didn't even realise it. I would do anything to take it back now.
The play was the next day. My whole family was there. Mira had told my mom before that she was going to sit with her and introduce her to her mother but none of them were there.
Danny showed up 10 minutes late. He was supposed to be in the first scene with me. It took him another 10 minutes to get dress and the crowd was getting restless.
When it came to the part where he, Banquo, was killed, he cursed Macbeth so forcefully that I knew it was a direct remark to me. Mrs Jefferson must've said something to him. Then when Banquo's ghost appeared at the banquet, he glared at me so cruelly, I couldn't help taking it personally because he never acted like that before in all the times we rehearsed.
After the play he didn't go out with the rest of the cast for pizza but I had to go at least for a while. When I finally go away from them, I ran to Mira's house.
Marion opened the door. She still hadn't taken off the make up she had to wear as the witch. She looked hideous.
"She doesn't want to see you. Just give up" she shouted and slammed the door in my face.
I walked home defeated. It was so frustrating not being able to explain myself to her. Everyone was getting in the way.
I didn't sleep all night. I wanted to call her but it was too late in the night. I resolved to call her before I left for work the next day.
Mom, dad and my brothers left to my grandma's house in the morning ……
I sat there. It was almost 6 o'clock. I waited for her to call me. I had a feeling she will. She can't just hate me like that forever.
