| Chapter Three- Missing Out �You got dance class today?� Lisa asked, as she caught up to where Mercedes was walking, two weeks later. �Of course,� Mercedes said. �You�d think you take at lease one break from it, today is after all the first day of summer vacation,� Lisa pointed out. �We are now going to be seniors!� Mercedes smiled, shifting her adidas sports bag. �And I plan on by this time next year, to be in New York and part of the ABC.� �ABC this, ABC that,� Lisa sighed, �That�s all you care about!� �Is not!� Mercedes protested. �Oh yes it is!� Lisa said. �Come on, you�re 17 years old and don�t even have a permit-� �Lots of people our age haven�t gotten their drivers license yet.� �You�ve never been on a date,� Lisa continued, �Never been kissed.� �I don�t have time for that type of stuff.� �Girl,Your life revolves around dancing! You don�t even relize how much of your youth you�re missing out on. Once it�s gone, it�s gone.� Mercedes sighed. �You�re starting to sound like my mom. Can we please talk about something else?� �Fine,� Lisa agreed. She was a little cautious about bringing up the next subject. �So, um, how are your parents doing?� Mercedes rolled her eyes. �My dad is never home and when he is, all they do is argue. So you tell me how they�re doing?� �Sorry,� Lisa said sheepishly. �So, do you think they�re going to get a, you know, a divorce?� Mercedes whipped her head around, eyes wide. �Of course not! They never will. They may fight a lot, but they still love each other!� �OK, sorry again.� �Yeah, you should,� Mercedes smiled, as they reached the dance studio. �I�ll talk to you later.� �OK, bye.� |
