Side by Side, Eye to Eye
  • Let’s flashback to 6 days ago, when I pretended that Ronan was actually another person (Because he had on a very old-fashioned suit).
  • It began when I came to pick him up for the filming. I heard the bathroom was running water, so I guessed he was taking a shower. Or probably finishing it.
  • “You’re just in time,” Phoebe said, “Ronan is pretty much in a hurry!”
  • “Is there a reason why?” I asked.
  • “He’s never walked to the studios with a girl before.”
  • “I thought he walks to the studios with Melanie or Kaylie? They’re girls, no?”
  • “I meant with you, he’s trying to be nice to you since you fought with him the first time he met you and your sister.”
  • “Oh.”
  • Ronan then came downstairs, he had pants on, but no shirt! He looked all anguished.
  • “What happened to you?” I asked.
  • “Nothing special, that’s for sure!” Ronan gabbled.
  • I gave him a hug to calm him down, and asked him why he was frustrated.
  • “All of my shirts are missing!” He said.
  • “Alright, who took Ronan’s shirts?”
  • “I did,” Phoebe confessed, “It was my turn to do the laundry.”
  • And then a tall man walked in.
  • “That’s Finnegan, your brother, correct?”
  • “Yep!”
  • “Hello,” Finnegan said, “I hear that Ronan needs a shirt, I presume?”
  • “Well, I am a bit desperate.”
  • “Don’t worry, I’ve just the thing, come with me!”
  • I told Phoebe that I’ll meet Ronan at the studios. I was walking down the route to the Pinewood Studios when I saw Ronan (yes, this is true) wearing an old fashioned suit.
  • I didn’t want to say anything to embarrass him, so I kept quiet. Although, I did snicker a little.
  • As I walked in the set, I felt that everyday was the same as every other day for a lot of my friends while we filmed some of the scenes.
  • So I thought of pranking myself…and Ronan that he was the most handsomest boy…in the entire world (because he was handsome).
  • I saw him talking to everyone, and his phone coincidentally fell out of the pocket.
  • I quickly went in to give it back to him and said, “You dropped this!” and then went back to my spot.
  • Phew! I thought, He didn’t even notice my nerve wrack.
  • I smiled.
  • I saw Jane and her 2 sons walk in. It was while she was looking around, that she noticed the smile between the cheeks of Ronan.
  • Ronan, on the other hand, just couldn’t believe it; his favorite author was in “Worthington Manor”!
  • And Melanie was so happy as well!
  • Judy Blunt, who is my (mom’s) favorite movie producer, came and introduced Melanie to Jane. I smiled; I laughed whenever Ronan laughed.
  • Gottfried took notice of me smiling at Ronan.
  • He might’ve thought, Wow, Sabrina must really like Ronan!
  • I walked all the way up to the balcony of the house; Gottfried still looked at me.
  • Again, he might’ve thought, I might have to keep an eye on that girl. Her crush might turn into an obsession!
  • I think we were filming a fighting scene, because there was a huge team of people outside of the set.
  • Later on, I saw Kaylie with Ronan. She looked like she was trying to SCARE Ronan.
  • When Kaylie looked away, I grabbed ahold of his shoulders and blew in his ear. Ronan squealed! I scared him silly!
  • “Who is responsible!?” he asked.
  • Some thought it was Kaylie; some thought it was Melanie; one thought it was me!
  • Later, I saw Ronan standing by a window with his arms and legs spread. And I took a picture of him.
  • "He will be mine!" I whispered to myself. Then I started kissing the picture…that I took on my phone.
  • Gottfried, Melanie, and Kaylie all came and looked at me with a look like I shouldn't have done something.
  • "You’re really into Ronan today, huh?"
  • I was still pretending to think that Ronan was someone else.
  • So I said, “Yeah, I am! Speaking of Ronan, where is he?”
  • “Well, he’s over there!” Gottfried said as he pointed to Ronan's location.
  • “Oh, who is that handsome boy over there? He’s so handsome, what's his name?”
  • “That’s Ronan.”
  • “No it's–wait…no, you’re right, it is!”
  • And then they gave up and decided to play along. I walked all the way up to the bedroom after. I sat on the bed and wrote a little note for Ronan. When I finished, I ran back down and placed it on a table.
  • Ronan eventually found the message. I secretly watched as he looked all around.
  • “Whatcha find there?” Melanie asked.
  • “Oh, nothing, just a piece of paper.”
  • “‘A piece of paper’ he says. Who’s it for?”
  • “I don’t know.”
  • I felt his heart drop. In fact, I felt everyone’s heart drop.
  • "Why would you find a piece of paper, that’s not much!" Kaylie said.
  • "I think it’s a note," Melanie said, "If you point the paper to the light, I can see something written on it."
  • “And there is also another reason why Sabrina thinks I’m someone else.” Ronan said, “Is it the hand-me-down suit?”
  • “Yes.”
  • “So, Sabrina thinks you're–”
  • “Cute?”
  • “Nope!”
  • “Beautiful?”
  • “No, my god, read the note and find out!”
  • “Okay, okay, alright!”
  • He read the note. What I put was:
  • Meet me at the “Dragon’s Fury” at 4:45pm. And keep wearing the same suit you’re wearing. The location is Chessington Land of Adventures. See you then!
  • - XXX, Sabrina.
  • “I think she’s saying it’s going to be extreme!” Gottfried suggested.
  • “I don’t think it’s that.” Kaylie said.
  • “I agree,” Melanie said, “She put Xs. The Xs mean ‘kisses’.”
  • “And she didn’t put any Os, ethier,” Kaylie said, “The Os mean ‘hugs’. When you put them together, it means, ‘Hugs and Kisses’.”
  • Ronan looked confused and then said, “Okay? So she loves me! No big deal, right?”
  • “Big deal!” Melanie said.
  • Still, he remained silent, and excited. Mom dropped me off and then Ronan’s mother dropped him off.
  • He saw me at the coaster.
  • “He actually came!” I said to myself.
  • We both got into a car. Ronan, not going to lie, looked very excited.
  • “You ready Sabrina?” he asked.
  • “You know my name!” I said to myself.
  • “This is going to be awesome! Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait!”
  • “Uh, I know this is kind of sudden and I don’t want you to think that I’m like a fool.”
  • “Yep, this is really cool!”
  • “But who am I to deny fate?”
  • “Yeah! It’s going to be great!”
  • “No, no, what I’m trying to say is…”
  • “What?”
  • When we got to the very top of the coaster, I whispered in his ear, “I love you!”
  • And then he started screaming his head off…while going down the rollercoaster.
  • I made sure to kiss his cheek once they snapped a picture. The results of the picture were a bit too appealing for Melanie, Kaylie, and Gottfried.
  • “So now we see the real price of being handsome…and an actor too!” said Melanie between laughs and gasps.
  • Ronan felt so embarrassed, that he demanded the truth. I then told him everything COMPLETELY.
  • And then he fell crying in my arms. And then he forgave me. So this would be my funny story.
  • All the best, Sabrina.
