I think it's what I needed all along.
To get AWAY from EVERYBODY and try something completely DIFFERENT with NEW people.
After all, change is good, right?
"So are you coming to the park after rehearsal today?" Bianca asked.
"Yeah, definately," Larissa said. She turned to me. "What about you, Anna?" she asked.
I paused, biting my lip. This was the first time anyone from the drama club had invited me to hang out, and I really wanted to go. But I had an important Zone meeting at Brian's house.
"Come on, Anna, it'll be really fun, I promise," Larissa said, staring at me imploringly.
She really wants me there, I realized.
"Yeah, sure," I said with a smile. "I'll come."
I could just hang out at the park for fifteen minutes and be a little late to the meeting. Brian, Elizabeth and Salvador would understand . . . right?
