Posted by MoChA [Thalia is sitting in her car, quiet as she can be without damaging anything. Her heart was officially broken. She loved Zach so much…she couldn’t believe this was happening to her] Thalia [looked out of the car window to see Ricky standing there. She rolls the window down]: What? Ricky: Can I sit inside with you? Thalia: I don’t care at this point. Ricky [walks around to the other side of the car and gets inside]: What happened in there? That was horrible… Thalia: Well, my best friend just ruined my life right before my eyes. Ricky: I’m sorry…if it makes you feel better, I’m still here for you. I know you probably don’t believe that considering what’s been going on between us this past few months. But it’s the truth. I’ll always be here. Thalia: Well, I guess I believe you more than I’ll ever believe him. You’ve at least been honest with me. Ricky: That’s the truth [pause] Um, why are you sitting here in the car? Did you want to leave? There’s a whole bunch of people sitting in there. There’s more girls in there than guys. You’re the best looking one in there. Go back inside and show those girls up… Thalia: I don’t know about that right now… [Zach and Gaby inside] Zach: Where is Thalia? Gaby: What does it matter? You’re with me right now. That’s all that matters. Zach: Gaby, that’s not true. That’s my best friend right there. She’s like a sister to me. She’s my heart and soul. I gotta find her. Gaby: God, if she means that much to you, why don’t you just call her cell phone? Zach: That’s too obvious. She won’t answer the phone if I call her. She’s smarter than that. Gaby: Then just leave the heffa alone then. She ain’t worth you getting all stressed out over it. Zach: Whatever…[walks away from her to find Thalia] [Thalia and Ricky in the car] Ricky: Look mama, here’s the deal, how about you and I go get lost and grab a bite to eat. We should go dancing too. It’ll be my treat. I’m just trying to take your mind off of this. Thalia: That might be a good idea. I think I need that. Ricky: We’ll go Latin dancing. I know how to move. Thalia: That’s right because you did dance at my Quinceanera. I was quite impressed how you move. Ricky: Well, you did teach me. I picked up on it quickly though. Thalia: Well, I’m impressed. But are you sure this is going to work? Ricky: Yeah, I’m sure it will. Come on. What do you have to loose? You don’t like it, you can go home. We’ll take 2 cars just in case you don’t like it. Thalia: Are we going dressed like this? Ricky: Sure, why not? You look beautiful so don’t spoil it. Lemme go get my car and we’ll be out of here in a minute. Thalia: Where are we going? Ricky: Let’s go to Miami. Thalia: Are you sure that’s a good idea? Ricky: Well, you have any other bright ideas? Thalia: Well, I’m just saying that because I have to go to work in the morning. So I just wanted some place a bit closer than Miami. Ricky: Well, I think there’s a club somewhere here locally. I don’t know how good it is but I’m sure we can find it. Thalia: If you say so. Lemme go to the bathroom so I can pee. I’ll be right back [she gets out of her car and heads back inside to the ladies room. Ricky got to his rental for the night (a black 2001 Jaguar XJ8) and got himself ready to go] [In the bathroom] Thalia [looking herself over in the mirror after she had finished peeing]: Man, I’m surprised I haven’t cried off all my makeup… FV: I can’t believe he did that to you… Thalia [turns around to see Mrs. Haines walking up right behind her]: Oh, hi… MH: And you look so pretty too…that’s a shame. Thalia: Well, I just look at it as I was meant to have a whole bunch of heartbreaks in my life. What’s one more? MH: Don’t talk like that. That’s not true. Thalia [reapplying her lip gloss]: You don’t think so? I mean look at my situation. I’m loosing my best friend to my worst enemy. What kind of shit is that? MH: Well, it’s his loss, not yours. You’re a wonderful girl. If he can’t see that, then that’s his own stupidity… [pause] where are you going? Thalia: I’m going dancing with Ricky. MH: As in Ricky Clayton? The QB of our varsity football squad? Thalia: That’s him… MH: Might I ask why? Thalia: Of course you can ask but I might not tell…I’m just playing. He and I are trying to get along right now. He heard about what happened just like everyone else and now he‘s trying to help me out. He figures that if he takes me out dancing tonight it might take my mind off of this whole situation since it hit me pretty hard. MH: Well, I guess I’m shocked because the two of you haven’t talked to each other in a minute. Thalia: I know. But the thing about Rick is that he’s always been straight with me. So I’m trying this out with him… MH: Do you think that something could come out of this? Are you trying to push for a relationship with him? I mean the two of you make a cute couple, don’t get me wrong. But I don’t think that it would be worth your time to date him since he’s so popular and so are you. I’m sure you already know how many girls want him. And here you are, you have the boy in the palm of your hand and you don’t know what to do… Thalia: Well, I don’t look at it like that but I understand what you’re saying. I doubt he and I will hook up and get something serious going. But I would like to hang out with him as a friend, just to test out the waters. I trust the boy more than I trust Zach. And that’s very hard for me to say… MH: I know. But you have to do me a huge favor, if you do decide to get something going with Ricky, just promise me you will be careful because I don’t want you to get hurt like you just did. Thalia [walking to the door]: Don’t worry. I’ll be fine… [Thalia walking out to the parking lot] MV: Hey, where are you going? Thalia [turns around to see Zach]: What do you want? I thought you were in there with your girlfriend talking to her. Don’t you have better things to do with your time than talking to me? She might get mad if she sees you here with me, you know? Zach: Well, I’m not concerned about her right now. You are the only person that I’m dealing with. Thalia: Look, let’s get something straight here, you are with her. That’s who you came to Homecoming with, and that’s who you need to stay with. I’m not the one you need to be worried about. I’m the least of your problems. She should be the sun, moon, earth and stars to you right about now. Zach: What are you talking about? Thalia: Do you deny that she’s your girlfriend? Zach: No… Thalia: Ok, then. Go be with your woman and leave me the hell alone, please… [begins to walk to her rental car; a black BMW Z3] Zach: You can’t just leave me like that… [Ricky pulls up in his car right next to Thalia] Ricky: Is there a problem? Thalia: Are you ready to go? I know I am… Zach: Where are you going? Thalia: Far away from you… Ricky: Why are you so concerned all of the sudden? I thought you were here with someone…you need to mind your own business… [Thalia gets in her car and they headed to Miami. The whole time she was there with Ricky, all she could think about was Zach. She tried as hard as she could to avoid that. But it wasn’t happening. She later on went home and tried to sleep the whole thing off. Sunday morning was a little easier because she had that day off. So she spent most of her time at her place. She cleaned up everything. But the real test was going to school the next day. That was the hard part] [The next day] Thalia [in her closet]: What to wear today? I have to look good, though. We can’t have anything less than that… [gets in the shower and continues to think about her fit for the day. She finishes in the shower and goes back in the closet. She tossed a white wife beater that had besame written in glitter, a sky blue mini skirt, her calf-high black boots, and her sky blue denim jacket to match. She left her hair in the ringlets she had in on Saturday. She did put her black glasses to match her boots] Thalia: I look good…time to go to school. [She gets in the car headed for school and her cell phone rings]: Hello? MV: Hey baby… Thalia: Hi…what’s up? MV: How was your Sunday? Thalia: Pretty decent. I spent most of it cleaning up. I spent a few hours at the pool. And I went to sleep around 4, got up at like 7:30 finished my spreads for the book, and then went to bed around midnight. What about you? MV: Well, I played football went to work, played football with my boys, and washed my car. You at school yet? Thalia: I’m parking my car right now. Where are you? MV: In the hallway at my locker. Thalia: Give me a minute. I’ll be there. MV: Ok, bye. Thalia: Bye… [she gets out of her car, walks to the main hallway and meets her friend] Hi there… MV: Hey, hang on a second…[still digging in his locker] Thalia: Ok… MV [looking for his homework inside his book]: You look good. I like those boots. They make your legs look sexy. Thalia: I thought my legs were already sexy? MV: Well, you know they make them sexier. You look good in anything. Where the hell is my Spanish homework? Thalia: Let me see…hold my book for me…[looks in his locker] Is this it [hands him a piece of paper]? MV: Yeah, thank you… [kisses her on her lips] Thalia: You’re welcome… [Just then Zach walks by to see Thalia lip locking with another guy] Thalia: You gonna walk me to class? MV: Sure. Ready? Thalia: Yeah, let’s go [grabs his hand] [They walk to class] ~*~Who is Thalia kissin on? Find out next time!~*~
