Seeing Through

Chapter 5

"You mean the episodes where Goku fights Raditz and others?"

"Yeah."

"I've watched them."

"So, what was your favorite moment of the saga?"

"Probably the fight between Goku and Vegeta."

"That was really awesome."

"Goku turning into a super saiyan is more awesome than that."

"Well actually, that is one of the most iconic transformations in the history of Dragon Ball Z. You should watch Dragon Ball Super after you finish watching Dragon Ball Z."

"Sure. You know you were right, anime is pretty cool."

"I told you so. So you're coming for the movie tomorrow right?"

"Yep."

"Ok, I'll book the tickets then. Bye Sarah."

"Bye John. It was nice talking to you."

As I soon as I hang up the phone and keep it on the table, it starts ringing again. I start smiling as I pick it up.

"Hey Jen!"

"Hey Sarah! How are you?"

"I'm fine. What about you?"

"I don't know what to do with my life."

"Why? What happened? Is it something involving Jim?"

"No. I'm trying to say that I'm really bored. I know that summer break started today..."

"And you don't have anything to do. Am I right?"

"Yes."

"You could always do homework you know?"

"Seriously? Who does homework on the first day of summer break?"

"You're right. Well, you could probably go and watch a movie."

"Well, I could do that. But you know what?"

"What?"

"You should probably open the door."

"Why?"

"Because I'm tired Sarah. I can't stand outside anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"Could you just open the door please?"

"Sure."

I hang up the phone and get off my bed. I think I have an idea as to what she has done. But still my mind refuses to believe it. Maybe it's just another one of her pranks. I rush downstairs to open the door. My mouth drops open when I open it.

"Jen!!"

"Sarah no..."

I jump onto her and we both find ourselves sprawled in the soft grass the next moment.

"Why did you do that?"

"Adrenaline rush I guess."

"That was a very sweet tackle by the way. Who have you been practicing it on? John maybe?"

"John and I are just friends."

I feel the blood rising in my cheeks and my heart starts beating faster. I still haven't figured out why I can't stop thinking about him. Every time I hear his name or think about him, my heart starts beating faster.

"I know, I was just teasing you. Help me get up now."

"Sure."

After getting myself up, I extend my hand towards her and help her get up. I turn around to see dad standing at the door and smiling.
