Sabrina haugs the bathroom on the annual day of the yearbook photos. Despite the numerous attempts, her eyeliner refused to be put into place.

"Come on Sabrina, I really have to pee."

There was a bagging on the door, her little brother had been waiting patiently for her to get out and his patients had begun to run out, literally. Sabrina continues to haug the bathroom as her brother gives away one last plea to be let in. Silence then followed. Curious, she goes to open the door. Looking down, her little brother is seen holding back the tears as he looks down to the wet stain on his pants.

"You should have gone outside." She shrugs.

With the crumbling of his lips he began to whimper. "Mama!"

"Oh yeah, go cry for your mother, what are you, eight years-old?" Her brother was in fact eight years-old. And Sabrina wouldn't hear enough of it as her mother drove them both to school.

"Eight years-old Sabrina. You're a grown woman and your brother is eight years old. Why can't you leave him alone?"

"I said I was sorry." She muttered. Looking to the back seat her brother sat with his arms crossed and lip twisted into a sour grin. It would be bad timing to remark how cute he looked.

"....I am trying with you Sabrina, I am really trying, but you refuse to listen. Like this morning for example, you haugh the bathroom for hours when you know that we've only got the one to share between us three."

"I said I was sorry." She groans.

"You brother pissed his pants for god sake. I've got to do his laundry again in order for him to have a clean uniform ready in time for his picture day."

"I said I was sorry, okay!" Sabrina crumbles in her seat, tears gathering in her sockets. She had been on the verge of crying ever since she left the drama club two days ago.

"Look, I know that you are having some trouble in school..."

"Hah! I'll say." She snorts.

"....but there is no reason for you to take it out on your little brother."

"Fine." She sighed. Unbuckling her belt Sabrina crawls into the backseat. Her mother tugs at her skirt, to prevent the other cars around them from seeing up her daughter's skirt. She's got the other hand on the steering which makes the car wobble as long as her daughter has got her ass in the air.

"I'm sorry Memphis, I swear I'll let you have the bathroom tomorrow." Her brother avoids getting pinched in the cheeks by leaning away from his sister. Sabrina's mother looks at her children through the rearview mirror. "Remember, I'm working late at the hospital tonight. Sabrina, you'll pick up your brother from his soccer practice this afternoon."

"Yes mama."

"And Memphis, you'll swear to listen to your sister."

"Yes mama."

"I want homework done before dinner, got it?"

"Got it." They say in choir.

"Good, now raus, off you go."

Sabrina is the first one to get dropped off at school. Stepping onto the curb, she pokes her head through the window to the backseat. "I really am sorry little man."

Her brother groans at her like a dog.

There was a genuine excitement amongst the students ahead of picture day, everyone wanted to look their best. Judging by the line to the school bathroom you'd think that the cafeteria served chili for today's lunch. Sabrina would have shared their excitement hadn't it been for her absence in the club photos. As of two days ago Sabrina no longer belonged to a club.

"...and I told the photographer that I refused to turn to my left, the right side is my good side."

Sharing the bathroom mirror with her fellow students didn't help to mend her wounds either, instead her resentment towards everyone grew.

"Oh Sabrina, your eyeliner is crooked at the tip." One girl had the audacity to point out. A girl named Laurie Maxwell then comes to the rescue. Laurie licks her thumb before erasing Sabrina's hard work from this morning. In one swift motion the black bow across her eye is redone.

"Thank you." Sabrina said embarrassed.

"Don't mention it." Laurie winks. They leave the girls bathroom together.

"Mick tells me that you guys are partners in biology."

"He told you that?" Sabrina frowns.

Laurie chuckles at her astonishment. "You know how Mick is, biology is his favourite subject. That's why he's in Miss Chapmans advanced class."

"Right." Sabrina nods.

"You must be pretty good too, since you're in that class as well?"

"I guess."

"I on the other hand could never, biology is the reason I turned vegan."

"Really?"

"Don't you remember me passing out that time when we were forced to dissect frogs in the seventh grade. I've refused to eat meat ever since."

"I guess I don't mind since my mother is a practicing nurse, I've been told how to deal with blood and needles at an early age."

"Urgh!" Laurie shivers. "Don't even mention blood and needles in my presence."

Their conversation is interrupted as two boys make an entrance, one of the boys being Mick Schumacher.

"Hey babe." Laurie said as the couple greeted each other with a kiss.

"Get a room you two!"

"Shut up Hans." Said Mick. Returning to Sabrina and Laurie he asks if they have had their pictures taken yet. "We just returned from the gym." He said.

"Yeah, the photographer is kind of sketchy," Hans second. Sabrina looks at Hans, what a sad excuse for a man, she thinks.

"I'm actually on my way to have mine taken together with the swim team." Said Laurie

"And you Seb, drama club?"

Sabrina hated Mick's nickname for her. Seb was not a good nickname for a girl.

"No." She answered short.

"Have you already had yours taken?"

"No." She squeals again, aware that all eyes were on her, good thing Hans came to the "rescue".

"Yeah that's right, Paulina tells me that the club kicked you out."

"Really?" Laurie gasped. Hans continues "My sister has been out sick with the flu all week, but begged my parents to let her go to school this morning. I remember thinking: Sheesh, you girls will do anything not to miss having your pictures taken. But apparently there was an emergency with her drama club."

"What kind of emergency?" Laurie said, curious. Sabrina lets her gaze fall onto the floor.

"The drama club has voted for Paulina to play the lead role in some silly play instead of Sabrina here." Hans laughs. "I bet my sister will have me rehers lines with her like she always does. I've gotten pretty good actually."

"Seb, is this true?" Mick said, turning to Sabrina who's gaze left the floor. She clears her throat. "It is, but I didn't get kicked out. I quit."

"Yeah right." Hans chuckled.

"Shut it Hans." Laurie and Mick said simultaneously. Sabrina hated being pitied like this, everyone knew that drama club was the only thing she was good for in this school, she was now stripped of that pride. Soon the tears were felt reloading in her eye socket.

"I'll see you guys later." She excused herself.

"Seb, wait!" Mick calls. But Sabrina turned the corner before any of them could have stopped her.

"Paulina Hoffmann!" Later that day Sabrina sought out a source from the inside to confirm this newly brought up news. "Paulina Hoffman as Sleeping Beauty, are you guys crazy?"

Klaus urges for Sabrina to be quiet as they hide between the back rows in the auditorium. On stage, photographers were setting up for the yearbook shoot.

"You drove us to it." he hissed. "We had no other choice. Paulina was the next best person for the role."

"Why, because she's my understudy?"

"Yes. We don't have time to rehers any new lines ahead of the competition, the play has to be ready in time for qualifying next month."

"Well good luck with that." She said, once again ready to storm out of the auditorium. "Seems to me that you've already decided to throw this."

"Sabrina come on, it doesn't have to be like this."

Sabrina leaves Klaus in his row, but comes face to face with the rest of the drama club as they collide at the door.

"Sabrina? What a surprise to see you here?" Mr Schultze stood first in line to greet her. He is dressed in a hideous red bow tie that is supposed to match the frame of his glasses. "Have you changed your mind, are you here for the shoot?" He said hopeful. Overlooking his shoulder, the other drama kids, also dressed for the occasion, await for Sabrina to give Mr Schultze an answer. A girl named Mindy gives her a half hearted smile. Nevertheless, Sabrina pushes past them all on her way out.

"Oh come on Sabrina don't be so stubborn." They call after her.

"Yeah, don't be such a drama queen."

It rained in the afternoon. All of the parents hurdled up underneath the bleachers surrounding the local football filead. They were waiting for their children's soccer practice to come to an end. Sabrina was the only sibling there to pick up her brother. She used to be embraced about it when she was younger, but seeing her little brother's face lit up whenever he would look for her in the stands during his games, helped her pull through.

"Your mother is so lucky to have you helping her out with your brother and the household." A lady named Agatha Wagner said. She was the mother of two boys on her brother's soccer team. A kind lady, despite her sense of duty to gossip about all of the parents to an unsympathetic Sabrina.

"Have you heard from your father at all?"

"No, unfortunately not." Sabrina said out of politeness, but in reality she wanted to put the lady down for not minding her own family matters.

Distancing herself from the group, Sabrina went to cheer on her brother from the sidelines where he could at least hear her shout.

"Go on Memphis, grab the ball!" Her brother immediately expresses his embarrassment by gesturing for her to settle down. Sabrina laughs at his pain.

"Seb?"

Surprised to be called upon, Sabrina turns around to see Mick standing fully dressed in his soccer garments.

"Mick? What are you doing here?"

He looks to the field then back to her. "Practice starts in an hour."

"So...what are you doing here now, if practice starts in an hour?"

A dimple appears with his smirk. "Thought I'd get a head start."

"Right." She nods.

"Care to join me?" He said, jumping up and down to warm up his legs.

"No." Her eyes were bouncing with his movements.

"Come on, I'll need a goalie to hold my balls."

"Come again?"

Mick realised the mistake in twisting his words and chuckled at the misunderstanding. "I just need you to kick them back to me, while I practice my aim."

The rain was pouring down faster now, nevertheless Sabrina made her greatest efforts as a goalkeeper. The muddy ground would slide underneath her feet and Mick would laugh at her attempt of being at two places at the sametime.

"You have to scoop up the ball with your hands when you save it, otherwise I'll just get it on the rebound!" His words travelled unevenly in the rain.

"Perhaps you can give me the chance to, by not kicking it so hard!"

A complacent grin shapes his face. "I'm glad that we're partners again. I've missed hanging out with you"

Sabrina pretends not to hear and rolls him the ball. Mick sets up for another strike.

"Why did you get kicked out of the drama club? Did you misbehave?" Mick shoots and scores. Sabrina retrieves the ball from the net and by now her clothes are soaking wet.

"I don't want to talk about that." She said, tossing him the ball. Mick sets up for another strike.

"Oh come on, if you can't talk to a friend then who can you talk to?" He shoots and he scores yet again.

Sabrina is irritated when retrieving the ball from the back of the net. "You and I were never friends." She said, tossing him the ball. Her aim is terrible and the ball ends up too far towards the left. Mick doesn't go to retrieve it. He stops to look at Sabrina, a veil of rain blurring the vision between them.

"You and I were study buddies, a one time thing and you agreed."

Mick squints his eyes in order to see through the rain. "Is that really all I was to you, a one time thing?"

"Yes and you've got Laurie Maxwell to show for it."

"You were the one to tell me about Laurie."

"Yes, because I knew what a great couple you two would make and now here you are, two years in the making."

There is movement behind Mick's shoulders, her brother's soccer practice had ended and the players on the field were about to clear out.
