Chapter 3
When Colleen finally stumbled out of her room wearing red plaid sweats and a beat up green sweatshirt, she found her mom and dad sitting on the couch.
"Man she really is just like you," said Mark, who was making coffee in the kitchen, "sleeping late and the whole plaid thing." Colleen rolled her eyes and looked at the clock; it was already 12 in the afternoon. She made her way over to her parents and in what was a sorry excuse for a recliner.
"When do your rehearsals start for Hair?" Mimi asked. She is sounding much better than yesterday. Colleen thought.
"Um, I think Monday. Since we want to start the performances by late March," Then Colleen remembered her mental note, "Mom, is it okay if I invite my Social Studies partner over to work on a project?"
"Yeah that's fine with me. What's your project?"
"We have to research a Benedict Arnold, West Point, and him deciding to become a traitor and all that jazz. Mr. Rapp decided to have it do by next Monday! He can be such a mean teacher sometimes, but then he will go and let us watch some of his films from when he was in college. Teachers can be so confusing." Rolling her eyes, Colleen went to the kitchen to see what there was to eat. She picked an extremely hard bagel and poured a glass of Orange Juice.
"So… what do you guys have planned for today?" asked Colleen making her way back to the chair.
"Well I don't have any classes today, so I'm up for anything. What about you?" Mimi turned to look at Roger.
"Er… I have band practice tonight at 7:30 but other than that I'm free. What do you girls want to do?" Roger immediately regretted saying his last sentence. Mimi and Colleen looked at each other and then in unison,
"Shopping!" They both started to laugh and Roger let out a deep sigh. Why do I even ask, thought Roger as he ran his fingers through his hair, "Fine but I don't want to spend the entire afternoon doing that. Maybe we could all go to the Life Café or something for lunch or dinner."
"Okay works for me!" chimed Colleen as she chugged down the remainder of her Orange Juice and ran into her room to get ready. Mimi laughed and went to her and Roger's room to grab their coats. After Colleen was ready they headed out for an afternoon of shopping. They didn't by much; just a tee shirt for Colleen, Mimi got new tights for her Ballet Class, and Roger got a pack of new picks for his guitar.
"I'm beat," Colleen piped up, "Lets go get some food."
"Okay, want to go to the Life or someplace else?" asked Roger, relieved that they were done with shopping for now.
"Um… how about we go to that place." Colleen pointed to a restaurant across the street.
"The Moondance Diner? Sure. I've never been there but let's try it." Roger took Mimi and Colleen's hand and they walked across the street.
After dinner the group headed back towards the loft. As soon as they got there Roger grabbed his guitar and shouted his goodbyes then headed towards where his band practiced. Colleen went into her room and worked on more of her home work. Mimi went out to the fire escape and sat until Mark walked in and made her come inside so she wouldn't get sick. After about an hour Colleen came out of her room ready to do something.
"Let's do something! I'm hyper lets go to the Life!" said Colleen as she jumped around the loft.
"I'm up for it, and Roger will probably be back soon so we could wait for him." Mimi said as she walked over to the sink and washed out Mark and hers coffee cups.
"Uh… sure but I'm going to run out and do some filming first. I'll meet you guys there around 9 okay?" said Mark, picking up his camera and wrapping his scarf around his neck.
"Okay! See you soon!" Said Colleen and she went to grab Mimi and her jackets. When she walked back out she found Mimi collapsed on the ground.
