Dear Journal,
I just went to the studios. But I had a very lovestrucking time. From getting jealous to kissing Ronan and getting trapped in a love spell. Wait until the end when you’ll find something typical for boys to ask girls.
So, I arrived at the studios, and the first thing I saw was Gottfried waving to me.
“So how did it go with Ronan?”
“It went…good.”
Inside, I looked to find Ronan with Melanie.
What do I do if they’re just friends? I thought to myself.
I looked at them with a confused look. And then a woman walked up to me.
“You’re Sabrina right?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, great! So, what we want you to do is to accompany Ronan. You got that?”
Accompany Ronan?
I was confused! Very confused.
I then walked to the place where I was going to “accompany” Ronan. Before I even proceeded, Gottfried stopped me.
“You can’t go dressing like that!”
“Why not? It looks fine to me”
I was wearing a suspender dress. I didn’t have a problem with it.
“Is it too plain?”
“Well–”
“I knew it, just give me a second!”
I ran to a dressing room and changed into a skirt with a poet shirt.
“You know,” I said, “You act a little like Ashley when it’s about my clothes.”
The woman, who was the interviewer, Showed where we were sitting. So as the camera rolled, the interviewer asked Ronan to tell them about the plot of the movie.
He went on, and on, and on.
“Now what can you tell us about Lila?”
As he talked about Lila, who is a girl that Marcellus lures, I started to feel…sad without warning at all! While I did feel sad, I heard Ronan describing Lila.
“Lila is very…”
He was having a bit of trouble describing Lila, so I said, “Feisty!”
“Feisty, I would say.”
And he gave off a chuckle. And then he went on, and on, and on, and on about Lila.
“Now what can you tell us about Melanie?”
I let out a tiny gasp.
I feel like he’s been trapped under a love spell! I thought, I have to do some kind of ritual to get him out of it!
And then Ronan started saying how Melanie was brilliant and how much she’s been EXPERIENCED by many things in theater, such as being in “The Secret Garden”!
I felt jealous in a sad way.
“Are you okay?”
“Yup, I’m just fine! I just need to be somewhere right now!”
And I dashed out in tears (a little bit). Right at the porch of the house set, I cried of sadness and jealousy.
“If he’s under a spell, I need to figure out one of my own to get it out of him! I know one that might work!”
I remember my cousin being through a real “love” spell before. And all she did was hug and kiss.
But she told me for younger ones (like me), you must be humored, and you must smell your partner’s breath…3 times.
I never did it before, but I was about to.
I was sitting on the porch and Ronan came out.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine!”
“Why did you run out? Were you nervous?”
“No, I was…tired!”
“Tired? I don’t believe that!”
“What do you know?”
“Well…when I started to talk about Melanie, you started to frown a bit. And when I said that she was professional, you looked down all sad. Very sad. I just want to make sure you are okay.”
“I’m fine, it’s just…”
“Yes?”
“I……never mind.”
“Okay.”
I couldn’t figure out when to do the Ritual.
Inside, I saw Ronan and Melanie talking. I believe they’re talking about going to Windsor!
I went to an empty room to call my mom about this. But I accidentally bumped into a boy.
“I’m so sorry!”
“Are you okay?”
“I’m okay. I’m sorry if I–”
The boy stood up; he looked familiar.
“Are you Neil Perry? THE Neil Perry?”
“Yes.”
I was jumping for joy! I was so happy. But then I remembered I had to get Ronan out of the spell he was in and that I had a spell to cast to get him out of it.
“I’d love to stay and chat, but I've got something to do!”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m just going to call my…cousin”
“What for?”
“About her…her…never mind.”
“It’s okay, you can tell me. I won’t be mad.”
“Fine. I’m jealous!”
“About what?”
“Do you know Melanie and Ronan”
“Uh…yeah! They were really excited to meet me! Why? Are you jealous that Ronan prefers Melanie and not you?”
“Well…sort of.”
Neil looked at me sad and confused. And then Kaylie walked in.
“Don’t tell this to Melanie or Ronan, okay?”
I said when I ran off and out of the room. A couple of minutes later, I saw Neil with the two.
And Kaylie walked in on them too! I looked away, and in the corner of my eye, I saw them looking at me; I pretended I didn’t notice them.
I was almost in tears when Gottfried walked up to me. I gave a smile and quickly walked outside.
When I got outside, there was a big helicopter! I was astonished by it!
Wow!
I then thought, What scene could they be doing with this?
And then I saw Ronan walk out with Neil.
“Cool!” I said.
But I still felt that glum feeling. We started the filming. I saw Ronan getting to use a clapboard.
“I want to use a clapboard!” I said in envy.
And then I sighed, “Let’s see if he can humor me.”
We all walked closer to the helicopter.
I’ll never forget what Ronan said that time, heehee.: “Blah, blah, blah, something, something, something, *a bunch of gibberish*, mark!”
I only let out a chuckle.
“Dang it!” Ronan hissed.
As he banged his seat, he lost his place and tumbled right onto me, right out of the helicopter.
“Are you okay?” I asked.
“Yep, I think so.”
Then, unusually, I started to giggle. I saw his face; nothing yet. And then, a couple of minutes later, I bursted out in full laughter!
“Are you okay? What’s funny?”
“Your face!”
“My face?”
“You’re so cute!”
“Why?” Ronan asked as he blushed in bewilderment. Eventually, my laughter softened.
“I’m sorry, when you fell onto me, I saw that look; you were being cute! So cute!”
I gave him a warm embrace, just so that he’d understand my crush.
I then felt him breathing on me; I smelled it; it was HEAVENLY!
“Breathe for me, please?”
Ronan breathed 2 more times; it was very perfect.
“Your breath smells nice."
“No it doesn’t!” Ronan said.
“I thought it smelled minty?”
“I barely brushed my teeth this morning!”
“So?”
“So…it smells bad!”
“No, it doesn’t smell bad!”
“Yes it does!”
“No, it don’t”
“Yeah, it does!”
I didn’t want to keep arguing so I said, “NO…IT… FLIPPING…you know what, it does, you’re right!”
“Thank you!” Ronan said in relief.
I walked all the way back to the house…and started to get glum…again. Back inside, I pulled up my phone and brought up Youtube Music.
I didn’t know what song to listen to.
“I wonder if Ronan likes music.” I said to myself.
Kaylie walked up to me and said, “Maybe.”
The three boys walked inside as if they were a boy band…like the Blues Brothers.
“So,” Kaylie said, “Are you going to ask Ronan on a date, I bet you are!”
“Maybe, why?”
Kaylie’s jaw dropped.
“Because,” she said, “I saw you laughing your head off. All because you said that he was cute!”
“Oh…okay.”
I gave a little box to Kaylie.
“A ring? We’re not getting married, are we?”
“No, it’s a friendship ring. I got one for Gottfried too.”
“Huh! Did you get one for Ronan too?”
“Oh, I’m saving that for last!”
“He does look cute, doesn’t he?”
“Yup, he does. If only I could…”
“What? If only you could, what?”
“Uh…kiss him?”
*crickets chirping*
“What???”
“Oh boy!”
“You…want to kiss…Ronan o’Foghladh?”
"Yes,” I said firmly, “I do want to kiss him!”
And then, uncontrollably, we started squealing like 2nd graders.
After 6 whole minutes of laughing out of control, we were EXHAUSTED! VERY exhausted. I went to rest outside; Ronan came to join me. I stared all the way from the balcony of the house.
“I think you have…an amazing…smile…you were…very happy!”
“Aww, thank you, Pretty Boy! You’re so sweet!”
I might’ve scratched his rosy cheeks…just a little. And then my arms flung around Ronan’s neck!
I only kissed his right cheek. But my guts said something to “kiss him”, kiss him.
“Sabrina…”
“Ronan…”
We got closer…until I pressed my lips on his. It lasted for about 4 seconds. We broke free.
Soon, there was a strong breeze, with leaves spinning around us. I laid on Ronan’s chest for dear life.
Afterwards, I saw my mom’s car pull up.
“Let’s go inside!”
“Okay!”
I dragged Ronan inside, then my mom walked in with Ashley, who was on her phone.
We then started talking. And then I saw Mom talking to everybody.
“Sabrina…about the kiss, I…”
“Yes?”
“I was wondering if you’d like to come over to my…um…condo.”
“I’d…I mean, I’d love to!”
“Really?”
“Yup! When, what time?”
“After this, at 4:45pm.”
“It’s a date then!”
“Okay.” I gave him a very warm embrace.
“Um, how about tomorrow, I’m busy today.”
“I don’t mind.”
“I love you so much.”
“Me too!”
I didn’t even notice that everyone was watching, so I tried ignoring it; it still bothered me.
However, I couldn’t let go of the embrace. I may have broken it to Ronan…that we were stuck.
How crazy was that?
About, not going to lie, 20 minutes later, we finally broke free. I felt my heart pounding!
“See you tomorrow!” I said as I walked the way out.
And that’s how I ended up here, writing it out. I feel so…good now since I wrote it. Ronan and I are getting along great! I’ll write to you soon.
All the best, Sabrina.
