CHAPTER 4: LITTLE MISS CONFLICTED
Freida was talking with Charlie Brown, James, Ed, Linus and Christine at the park the next day about her potential job with Randy,for the curly haired girl was feeling pretty conflicted about whether or not she should take his offer for her to become a music star,because despite her being Sparkyville's musical sensation when it came to her own singing,she was not expecting herself to be hand picked by a studio and given that kind of opportunity,not in a million years,so of course it was eating at her mind as of late.
"Freida I'm gonna be as brutally honest as possible,I think you should take the offer." encouraged James in an uplifting tone of voice as he and Ed tossed some bread crumbs at a nearby flock of birds before the latter added equally as enthusiastic "You know this is one of the first times I can openly agree with Jimbo,that's an opportunity you got there that I could only dream of." to which Freida lifted her slightly hung head up and meekly wondered "D-do y'all really think that? Because I'm just not sure about it,I still got schoolwork that needs to be done and my birthday's coming up in a matter of days. I'd be more open to the offer if it came at a better time."
"Well,I honestly think the studio would at least try to work something out with the school,either that or get them to let you out early. I really think this could be something good for you babe." Charlie Brown sighed and politely tried to encourage his girlfriend to take the offer as he comfortingly placed his hand on her shoulder before James nodded his head and cheerfully added in agreement "I mean I've been dreaming of a day where I could hit the streets of Broadway and share my talents to an even wider audience than just Sparkyville,and for you to have an opportunity like that is incredible,I think you've earned it Freida." to which Linus smiled and added with a thumbs up "You always were the showstealer at every one of our shows,it makes sense for you to be spotted by the big guys."
"Yeah what they said." playfully chuckled Christine in agreement without anything else to add to which Freida smiled and ultimately decided "Honestly…...I still don't think I can do it,and it's mainly because I don't want to risk having to move away from all you guys,especially you Charlie Brown." before she kissed the round headed boy on the cheek and blissfully continued "But I suppose it wouldn't hurt to at least check out the studio while I can." to which Charlie Brown gave off a supportive grin and replied "As long as it's good enough for you sweetie,it's good enough for me." which made Freida smile yet again as she hugged her boyfriend. Later on that same night,Freida was starting to make a last minute call on her house phone before she would head off to bed for the night since she already had her nightgown on,and as she spun the dial till she would finish making her call,she took a deep breath and whispered to herself in excitement "Keep it calm girl,you're just gonna be taking a look at the studio." before she finally made her call and waited for an answer.
It didn't even take five seconds for the girl to get an answer as the voice of Randy nonchalantly answered from the other end "Yello?" to which Freida enthusiastically replied while she tried to keep herself calm and meditative "Hey Randy,it's Freida,I've come to a decision regarding your offer from yesterday." which resulted in the teenager raising an eyebrow and anxiously wondering in response "Really? That's great! So what are you gonna do?" before the curly haired sighed and politely gave her answer "The offer sounds great and I am flattered and honored to have been considered for the role by people such as yourself,but I just can't bring myself to move away from my friends and family at the moment,however I would like to at least see the studio for a while…...just in case."
Randy was left completely silent for at least five seconds after hearing Freida temporarily deny his offer before he hung his head a little and bittersweetly chuckled "Well,I definitely know my dad's not gonna like this,but still the choice is yours and I respect it. Whenever you're free and up to it,just come on down to the studio and I'll gladly give you a tour." to which the girl on the other end smiled and happily replied "Thanks for understanding Randy,I'll come by tomorrow. See you then." before she hung up and proceeded to make another call,this one being for Charlie Brown so she could tell him everything.
