LOVE AFFAIR

Chapter 3

I got out the car and approached RYE DELL HIGH SCHOOL. “What another boring day at school” I mumbled underneath my breath.

“Hey Chris” I turned to see my friend Bev (short for Beverly) walking on the side of me.

“What’s up Bev”

“Nothing much, but another boring day at RYE DELL HIGH SCHOOL” she said annoyed.

“You’re telling me. At least this is our last year here” I said excitedly.

“3 months to be exact” she said as she skipped.

“Well…have you seen Dave? Usually I see him as soon as I get out my car” I asked looking around the student body.

“Well…usually he meets you at your car. I wonder why he didn’t…” I waited for her to continue but instead she froze, while covering her mouth in shock. I turned around to see she stopped, looking stunned.

“What’s wrong?” I walked up to her. “Beverly what’s wrong?” I followed her eyes and landed on my boyfriend Dave…kissing another girl.

“What the fuck?” I walked up to the two kissing people, but now shocked people. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

“Um…who are you?” he was playing dumb

“Who is her?” the blond haired girl asked.

“Well that’s what I’m trying to figure out” just then I slapped him as hard as I could on the face. “IT’S OVER” I said as I heard all of the “Ooos” in the crowd. I walked away and approached Beverly. “I’m going home” I walked to my car as Beverly followed behind.

“You can’t. we have that pop quiz in Mr. ManWell’s class today”

“Fuck the quiz. At least it’s not a test” I sat in my car and cranked it up.

“Do you know what you’re doing?” she asked concernly.

“YES. I can’t go on through the day, when I just caught my boyfriend kissing Stacy, who I thought was my friend. How could THEY ACT LIKE THEY DIDN’T KNOW ME. That really hurt me bad. I MEAN… we went through our lives together. We were so close. Now look at what she caused”. I closed the door.

“Wait. I’m coming with you” she hopped in and I drove off.

“What else bad could happen to me? I mean…the *N Sync thing didn’t go well last night…”

“You already met them?” she asked excitedly.

“Yeah” I sniffled.

“How were they”

“They were horrible to me. They picked on me. Especially Justin Timberlake…he got mad at me just because I was 10 minutes late” Beverly looked stunned. “And Josh said I didn’t have a sense of humor. When I was leaving, that’s when he’s going to say he wasn’t talking about me, like I was suppose to believe that. My life is just breaking apart”

“Don’t say that. You’ll have some good things heading your way one day” as soon as she said that, she pulled out a colorful paper, and flashed it in my face. I snatched it and read: “JIVE RECORDS ARE HAVING AUDITIONS FOR BACKGROUND DANCERS FOR *N SYNC ON MARCH 15. CALL YOUR LOCAL DIRECTORY FOR FUTHER INFORMATION”

“Oh my God” but just then I realized what they had done to me. The hate and shameful words they said last night. “I’m not auditioning”

“WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY? You have to. This is your dream”.

“Why should I wanna work with them for a couple of months when they did me wrong last night?” I pulled up in my drive way to see my mother’s car gone.

“You don’t have to associate with them. Just do your job and get paid” I thought about it as she brived me. “Just imagine all the money heading your way, and the fame. You’ll get to travel everywhere you could think of, and have fun with the other dancers. Remember *N Sync are not going to be the only people there to conversate with. There will be more people to talk to, like the other dancers, and maybe other celebrities that are touring with them” she sighed. “I will be there for you every step of the way”

“OK. I’ll do it”

“GREAT!” she said getting out of the car, right behind me.

“SO that means you have a week until the 15^th. So just pray and pray. I would love to see you and Justin dating” she smiled.

Christine definitely would be praying. After all…her dream might come true.
