CLAPPER1

By: Liz Clapper Sara took the chair next to Amber. It wasn’t that Amber didn’t like Sara, but Amber wouldn’t go out of her way to be nice to the girl. “Hi Amber” Sara said with a giddy smile and a wave. “Hi Sara” Replied Amber with an impression of that giddy way; Coming across fake. Amber put her face back into a magazine. “Who are you going with to homecoming?” Asked Sara, not recognizing that Amber was almost making fun of her. “His name is Jacob You wouldn’t know him; he’s not on the football team or anything…” Amber said looking up at Sara. “Oh, well my dates name is Jacob isn’t that funny?” “Just hilarious” Replied Amber with a sarcastic point of view. “Yea his band is playing at the dance tonight.” Said Sara “Wait, you’re going to homecoming with JB”? [His last name was Barnett, so everyone called him JB] Amber said pulling her face out of the magazine and looking Sara directly in the eye. It went right over Sara’s head “Yea, I know you’re all friends but I hope you don’t mind” “Oh not at all…” Said Amber getting more pissed as each second went by “Really?” Said Sara “Considering your going with my date I’m just dandy.” Replied Amber with that same sarcastic remark. I took Sara a moment to realize what Amber had just said. “Ooh my Amber I’m so sorry, but he asked him weeks ago.” “Weeks ago, how about me and him have been dating for the last 2 years…” “oops!” Said Sara… “ Well I need a date since I’m on court and you’re not.” “Well this will be worked out, and sweetheart I will make sure you walk down that stage alone tonight…. Tootles!” Said Amber. Sara gave a snotty “uh!” and amber walked out the door. - “Really Jacob!?” Said Amber on the phone to him “what?” “Why the f*** is this dumb blonde slut saying that shes talking my boyfriend to homecoming” “What are you talking about Amber?” “Jacob I just had to sit and listen to Sara Macoy sit and talk about how you asked her to homecoming weeks ago..” “Amber… ask your brother he was there She asked me and I said no.” “Jacob that’s the best you could come up with?” “Amber I swear its true. I don’t even talk to her you know I would never go with her, well I’ll be there at six. I swear.” Six o’clock rolled around, and the door bell rang. It was Jacob sanding at Sara’s door with flowers and a corsage in hand. You could tell that everything that Sara had been mad about went out the window. The night went perfectly for Sara, but not so perfectly for Amber. Amber was left without a date, did not win homecoming queen, and was now called a liar by the whole school. It took Sara a moment to realize what Amber had just said. “Ooh my. Amber I’m so sorry, but I asked him weeks ago.” “Weeks ago, how about me and him have been dating for the last 2 years…” “Oops!” said Sara… “ Well I need a date since I’m on court and you’re not.” “Well this will be worked out, and sweetheart I will make sure you walk down that stage alone tonight…. Tootles!” said Amber. Sara gave a snotty “Uh!” and amber walked out the door.“Really, Jacob!?” said Amber on the phone to him. “What? What are you talking about Amber?” “Jacob, I just had to sit and listen to Sara Macoy sit and talk about how you asked her to homecoming weeks ago..”
