"No, Tom, I'm not going to do it" I said as I picked up my tray and looked around the cafeteria for a table to sit. Tom quickly followed behind with two of our friends – Nicole and Stefan.
"Why not? Oh, come on, Y/N, you have played a lot of roles in our theatre's plays, so why not this one?" he asked pulling a chair beside me, while I picked up my sandwich.
"That's just school, this-" I said pointing at the script he banged on the table, "will be released for the world to see"
"And?" he asked rhetorically as I took a bite from my sandwich, "Come on, you're just like her. She's short – you're short, she has amazing purple eyes, you have, well, you have beautiful eyes too, she's smart and you are too, she is sarcastic and witty, just like you, she has long blonde hair and I'm sure, once you land the role, they'll dye it and she can get any guy she wants, just like you" I rolled my eyes and gulped my food.
"Really? That's what the script says? That an 11-year-old girl, can get any guy she wants and I'm literally the same height as yours. Hell, I'm even taller, Shorty" I said and shook my head.
"What are you guys on about?" Stefan asked from beside me, while Nicole nodded.
"Tom wants me to audition for a role in the upcoming Harry Potter movies" I said and their eyes sparkled. They all knew about how much I loved acting.
"Come on, you love acting, and we all know that you do, so don't deny it" Tom said with hopeful eyes.
"Tom, you know I value my education just as much, let's say if I audition-" I said and he squealed like a little girl, "I said – let's say, I didn't agree, a large portion of my day would be occupied in it and you can manage it, you're already an actor" I said putting my half-eaten sandwich down.
"I know you do, but for me, please" he begged with puppy dog eyes. He has been my best friend for 13 years. Our parents have been good friends and we practically grew up together. We were always together, play dates, restaurants, fast food chains, sleepovers, school, everywhere. If you saw me, then you would sure as hell see Tom. And if you saw Tom, well, you would see me. We even had the same classes.
If he didn't think that I was good, he wouldn't ask me. He's my best friend, but he is also a pain in the ass and a sweetheart as well.
Why do you think I say that? Here's what happened last year, I was having a sleepover at his place, so when I woke up, naturally his mum prepared breakfast, my favorite – Sunny side up, French fries with ketchup and tea. I happily went downstairs and Tom was placing the plates on the table. Before I could dig in, he cut me off, "Let me" he said sweetly. He picked up a fork, poked some fries with it, cut up the egg and shoved it in my mouth. I expected the lovely taste of eggs and potatoes, where I got, apple, yogurt, peach with jam. Bleh! It tasted the worst together.
"TOM!" I shrieked and ran behind him.
The year before that – he replaced all of my family photos with pictures of Rowan Atkinson. He didn't do it all at once, gradually – day by day. And it took me, 10 days to figure it out. I made him change back to how they were.
And he does this all the time, he hides behind a door or a wall and scares me. It's not the worst part, I am a scaredy cat, I mean, I get startled easily. But he has me on tape, all 7 years of scaring, with my yells and shouts and weird scared expressions.
Despite all of that, he is a total sweetheart, he has never once left my side, I know it's too early to say, but whenever we fought, he used to always apologize even if it was my fault. Oh, how can I say no to him?
