When Distress Meets Distress - S01 E39

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 39

“I was wondering if you’d like to go to the Winter

Wonderland with me,” he suggested, switching

from one foot to the other. My eyes found Sierra’s

who mumbled something along the lines of, ‘this

always happens.’

Sabrina pursed her lips as she looked at Sierra,

sympathy shining through her eyes. “No,” she

responded. Sabrina closed the car door while the

boy stood there, eyes widened slightly and his

stance slumped over.

I let out a laugh. “Get out of here,” Sabrina snapped,

opening the door just a crack.

The boy followed her commands and walked away

with his hands shoved in his pockets. Sierra smiled

slightly. “That’s good about her, isn’t it?” I asked.

Sierra nodded, watching as the boy walked away.

“He wasn’t that cute anyway,” she snorted.

“And even the ones that are cute are too stupid to

realize what’s right in front of them,” I sighed. The

sound of snow crunching surprised us all. Didn’t we

just tell the boy to leave?

“Jonah, glad I could catch you!” Waverly smiled. Her

face was red and her hair was disheveled. The cold

isn’t kind to her. I hope I don’t look like that…who am

I kidding? I don’t care.

Jonah smiled slightly. “Yeah?”

“This girl hates me, watch this,” Sierra whispered to

me as she rubbed her eyes under her glasses slightly

before taking them off. “Hi, Waverly!”

“Which one are you? Sadie or Sara?” Waverly

furrowed her eyebrows as if thinking hard.

“I’m Sara,” Sierra said as she stuffed her glasses in

her jacket pocket. Sabrina got out of the car, an

amused look on her face.

“No, I’m Sara,” Sabrina said. I realized how similar

the girls looked when Sierra has her glasses off. If

you put them in the same clothes and do their hair

the same, and ignore Sabrina’s pink highlight, you

wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

They continued bickering while Waverly looked back

and forth between the two, an annoyed look on her

face. I was laughing loudly at the twins while Jonah

was sighing; I could see a faint smile playing on his

lips though. Now, I never said that Waverly was

smart- she’s just kind of nice, when she wants to be.

And obviously, when she wants a guy, she’ll get

him. I guess I admire that about her. I wish I had

that trait about me.

Waverly tore her gaze from the twins who wouldn’t

quit, now they were arguing about who was Sadie.

“Anyway, I wanted to ask you if you would go to

Winter Wonderland with me.”

“I would but I can’t. I have to watch the twins,”

Jonah looked awkward as he shifted from one foot to

another. He isn’t a good liar.

“Aren’t they old enough to watch themselves?”

Waverly whined. Jonah shook his head. “Can’t they

watch each other?” Jonah shook his head again.

“Why can’t you hire a sitter? Savannah, are you

doing something on Wednesday?”

Jonah’s pleading eyes found mine and I nodded.

“Yeah, sorry, I have plans.” Honestly, I have to

work.

“I just bought my dress yesterday; it’s blue and it’s a

high-low. I even got heels to match. You don’t think

that maybe you could cancel them and watch the

kids,” she started saying but Sabrina cut in. Her

statement annoyed me because one, they aren’t kids;

two, she’s saying it as if they’re her own children; the

kids; and three, if she expects me to cancel my plans

just for her, she’s mistaken.
