When Trouble Meets Trouble -S01 E44

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 44

I wonder what Jonah is doing. The dance is just now

starting and I’m sitting at work, beside Mere, waiting

for Ms. Antoinette to dismiss us. We’ve had a bunch

of customers today because we’ve been closed ever

since Friday due to the snow storm. Bunches of

parents were rushing in here buying last minute gifts

for their children, video games galore.

“Wipe that look off of your face,” Mere snapped as I

sighed.

I looked up at her, my eyebrows furrowed. “What

look?”

“That look of despair,” Mere complained, scowling.

I narrowed my eyes at her. “It’s not despair, its

curiosity.”

“Curiosity killed the cat, so I suggest you stop being

curious,” Mere smirked, earning a frustrated sigh

from me. I didn’t bother to complete the quote.

“Anyway, what are you wondering about, girly?”

“I wonder what Jonah’s doing,” I replied, biting my

lip.

“He might be at the dance or he might be at home;

he’s only a call away, you know?” Mere replied,

swinging her legs as she sat halfway off of the

counter.

I groaned. “Yeah, but he’s angry at me,” I buried my

face in my hands.

“Who says you have to be the one to call him?” she

asked mischievously. She clutched my phone in one

hand and her own in the other, dialing Jonah’s

number on her iPhone.

“Hello?” his familiar voice asked. Meredith pinched her

nose, causing her voice to go up a few octaves,

which resulted in her sounding nasally.

“Hello there, this is Caroline Chrysanthemum and I’m

from Chrysanthemum Company, we sell

Chrysanthemum Crayons. Would you like to make a

purchase?” I held back my laughter. The background

was quiet.

“Excuse me?” Jonah asked.

“Can you not hear me? Are you in a crowded place?”

Meredith asked him, sitting cross legged on the

counter.

“Actually, I’m not,” he replied. A voice in the

background caused my ears to perk up.

“Jonah? Who is that? That isn’t Savannah, is it? We’re

supposed to be on a date!” Waverly snapped. I felt

my stomach clench and I suddenly felt sad.

Before we could hear Jonah’s response, Meredith

hung up the phone. It was quiet for a moment as I

drew circles on the desk, in deep thought. Mere

decided to speak up. “Vanna, do you…like him?”

I slowly shook my head, biting the inside of my

cheek. “I just don’t want to lose a friend to someone

like Waverly,” I told her.

Was I telling the truth? I know what I said was true

but was I answering Mere’s question honestly? Both

of my mistakes caused even worse consequences.

First, I snapped at Waverly over the phone and she

ended up getting Jonah to go to Winter Wonderland

with her. Then, I tag along with the twins who

destroyed her $200.00 dress and I end up getting

caught by Jonah himself, who ends up going on a

date with the girl.

I’m guessing Mere decided to change the subject.

“So…what are your plans for Christmas?”

I pursed my lips as I shrugged. “Spending it with my

family, I guess. What about you?”

I looked up to see Mere staring at her lap. She

shrugged slightly while fiddling with her hands. “My

mom and dad left for vacation, so I’ll be spending

this Christmas alone.”

I can’t believe I’m doing this; I know it’s going to be a

bad idea. “Mere…do you, maybe, want to spend

Christmas with my family?”
