Girl's Day and Funny Plays
A week passed by in a blink of the eye, before I knew it I was sitting beside Auntie Kris getting pedicures and manicures at a salon in one town over. We barely made it to our appointment in time- the hairdresser took longer than expected. I had to practise in the morning and we got the rest of the day off so Auntie Kris and I got to spend more time together.
''How much does it cost to go to L.A for your trip?'' she asked
''I think it's about a hundred dollars, but I got it covered,'' I told her.
She nodded,'' I can't wait for Nessa to be old enough to join us,'' she smiled.
Sometimes I forgot the Auntie Kris wasn't actually my mother and that she had her own daughter, maybe when Nessa got older she'll feel more like a sister than she does now. I smiled but said nothing. She suddenly squealed like a teen girl and turned to me, with a sparkle in her eyes.
''I can't wait to see you in action again. It feels like it's been a million years s

My Best Friend Rehearsals and Nausea
Recap: Kiara and Zack's mum, Kristen, spent the afternoon at the spa as a way to relax Kiara before her play Saturday evening(which would be today). They saw Kevin with somebody, they didn't see who. ''You need more passion, more enthusiasm, more oomph, you need more,'' Ms Fiddleson barked at my co-star who looked like he was about to throw up or pass out. I honestly wasn't sure which one he would prefer. ''Take it from the top,'' she said as she walked off the stage, possible to shout at someone else. ''I don't hear rehearsing,'' she shouted after she walked for two seconds. I turned to my partner and nodded, he started his monologue again with much improvement might I add. Fear really does work wonders. We continued only taking ten minutes every hour- which she only gave to us because it would be considered a crime if she did not. I felt bad for the stage crew though, they received the sharp end of the shank. I got a fair share of scolding myself but, after
My Best Friend Gummy bears and Stuffed Rabbit
''Please, I don't want to go,'' I begged my mother. I was willing to get down on my knees if I had to, I was already halfway there. ''Mum, if she doesn't want to go I don't think you should force her,'' Lucas said as he walked into the kitchen, he took out a juice pouch from the fridge and gave it to me with a pat on the head. ''Lucas, sweeties, you spoil her. It's not she's going to die, you know,'' my mother said. She was always softer on Lucas, it wouldn't take much to figure out who was the favoured child. ''But, mum,'' ''Enough Lucas, she's going and that's final,'' my mother said decisively before she left the kitchen, probably to have one of the maids pack my bags. I was surprised she didn't give in to him but it was probably because the issue pertained to me. ''Lock I don't want to go,'' I said as tears began racing down my face. ''Hey, Key, it's ok, it's just a few days. I promise I'll be there to pick you up. I know you don't
My Best Friend False Words and Odd Silence
''Dr Jackson,'' I called the attention of the man who sat across from me as he wrote on his little notepad for what seemed like ages. ''Yes, Kiara?'' he said, still making notes. ''My mum didn't go on holiday, did she?'' I said while I plucked some fluff from my bunny's ear. ''Why would you say that?'' he asked, finally making eye contact with me. His gaze, as he peered over his glasses, was extremely intimidating to me. I was thankful he did not wear them every day. ''I think she's avoiding me because she's grossed out and mad at me,'' ''Why would she be mad at you?'' ''Because I made her sister look bad,'' I said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. ''I'm not following,'' I released a sigh as I contemplated whether or not I should explain myself. ''It's okay Kiara, I won't judge you. I simply want to follow your train of thought,'' he said to me, he leaned back and crossed his ankle over hi
My Best Friend Sleepovers and Mac and Cheese
I walked the perimeter of the rug in my room multiple times, I was trying to psyche myself up so that I would go knock on Lucas's door. I extended my pacing path to reach my bookshelf and collected our book. I gripped the worn copy cover of the velveteen rabbit and slowly made my way to his room. Ever since the incident his door has been locked, not just closed. He used to leave the door unlocked and sometimes opened a tiny bit so I can enter as I pleased, that was nothing but a faint memory now. I raised a clenched fist only to stare at it as it hovered over the dark hardwood. It remained still no matter how I willed it to connect with the surface, it was as if there was an invisible force that prevented me from completing the simple act of knocking. ''Come on Kiara, you can do this,'' I whispered to myself. I secretly hoped that he would hear me, open the door, pull me in and give me the comfort I so desired. As far back as I could remember it has always been the b
My Best Friend Chaos and Courthouses
''I thought I was going to have to find a new best friend,'' Zack told me. We were sat under our usual tree, I ate a ham sandwich while Zack had leftover mac and cheese. ''So quickly?'' I asked ''Well I didn't know where you were and Jacob told me that I would need a new friend. Of course, I didn't believe him, he's no good you shouldn't talk to him, then you disappeared forever. I figured if you weren't home Saturday then I'd have to mourn you for ten years then find a new friend,'' he recounted. ''Ten years? That's a long time,'' I told him. ''Yeah but I'd be sad for ten years if we weren't friends,'' I held out my pinky to which he immediately clasped his own around, ''I promise to always be your friend,'' ''And I promise to always be yours or I'd have to give up mac and cheese and pudding cups forever,'' he promised in return. ''Even pudding cups?'' I asked incredulously. ''That's how you know I'm serious,''
My Best Friend Friends and Family
Her solid intense stares were like knives slowly dragging along my skin, it wasn't making my nausea any better. I took a deep breath and did my best to get lost in my character once more. I mentally repeated that she wasn't here and she was locked away someplace far from here. No matter how many times I repeated this statement to myself, I knew she was still here. I heaved a sigh of relief when curtains dropped for intermission after act three. The hustle and bustle was simply a background noise as I paced to and fro backstage with hopes of getting rid of nerves and nausea. ''You can't come back here,'' I turned to the commotion to see my brother marching towards me, his brows basically touching. ''That bitch won't leave,'' he spat. It seems he found her here. ''I'm training to be a medical professional, but I'll be a bouncer if needs be,'' I sent him a small smile. I wanted to tell him that it was okay, we both know I would be lying. ''Sir, you can't
My Best Friend Then The Truth
Zoa rushed over to the twins, grabbed Van in her arms and swung him around. He giggled and, Nessa ran over to her older brother, who perked her on his lap. ''They're my siblings. That's Van and this is Nessa,'' Kevin cooed at Nessa as Zack bounced her on his lap, causing her to laugh. ''They're cute, who is that?'' Luke asked once more. ''Dude, she's no one so let it go,'' Lucas responded his grumpy face returning. The door opened and she, Emma and the nurse returned. Emma carried with her a paper cup which she handed to Lucas after she sent me a smile. ''It's good to see your eyes again,'' she said softly. ''I'm going to go back to Serina. I'll tell her you're ok,'' the last part directed at me. ''Alright, there are too many persons in the room, some need to leave.'' the nurse said as she slipped on surgical gloves. ''Alright,'' Zoa said sadly as she placed Van back on his feet. She, Luke and Kevin left soon after. The
My Best Friend Persistent Friend and Happy Times
The nurse came back shortly after that to release me. When I stepped out of her office, I was instantly surrounded by everyone from the cast and from my family fussing over me. I received flowers and get well soon from the cast before they left to change and head home, all extremely tired. Even as they left my family remained to ask if I was ok or if I need juice. ''Guys stop, I'm fine. I'm going to change.'' I told them as I was still in my costume from before, just with fewer layers. ''I'll meet you at the car,'' I said to Lucas,'' And I'll see or text you guys later,'' I said to my friends but mainly Zack. ''If you say so,'' Kevin said and hugged me followed by Zack's family and Zoa. Luke was nowhere to be seen, though that was expected. They headed towards the exit and Lucas looked at me for a while longer before he followed them at a distance. Was he expecting me to collapse the minute he looked away? ''I'll see you at the car,'' Lucas call
