"Hi dear." Mom knocked on the open door at the door. "Come down for lunch."
"Okay, Mom, I'll come." Natalie turned her head and replied, then closed the book, tidying up the table, and then came downstairs and said hello to her father who was reading the newspaper. , she voluntarily went to the kitchen to help her mother.
"Nat, are you mad at Angie?" After her daughter took out the cutlery and came back, Shirley suddenly asked, which made Natalie startled a little, then turned her head: "I - already Don't be angry anymore, Mom."
"Then why didn't you call her or answer her call?" Shirley looked at her daughter.
"Okay, Mom, don't ask that, okay?" Natalie sighed. "I just don't want to talk to her just yet, probably because—I don't know what to say to her yet."
"Well, my dear, I just wanted to say that no matter what you quarreled about, Angie has called and apologized many times. If you always do this, it will not only be rude, but it will also make Angie sad. Do you really want to Have you lost this friend?"
That's because you don't know what she did! Natalie said this in her stomach, but on the surface she nodded casually: "I know Mom, I will." She picked up the glass bowl on the chopping board and left the kitchen.
"Dad, you can come here." After putting the glass bowl on the table, Natalie greeted her father on the sofa.
"Hmm. It smells good, what is it?" Avner came over with the newspaper.
"I think this bowl is transparent." Natalie said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I saw it." The father shrugged and followed him to look at his daughter: "Honey, how long are you going to have a cold war with Angie?"
Natalie's mouth twitched. Reluctantly, he replied, "Okay, Dad. Can you skip this for dinner?"
"Okay, okay, I'm just saying the last one, I don't know what's going on between you girls to get this bad, but I turned a blind eye to Angie's behavior of calling and apologizing several times. It's not polite behavior. ." Avner shrugged, seeing her daughter frowning and wanting to say, and immediately added: "Okay, I won't say anything."
After dinner, Natalie went straight to her room. She still had a lot of books to read. Reading is another hobby besides acting. The good reading habit she has developed since she was a child makes Natalie like the world in the book very much, which allows her to learn a lot and complete her homework when there is no film appointment. Later, if no friends come to play with her, she will stay quietly in her room reading a book.
But today, she obviously couldn't calm down. The originally calm heart was stirred up again by the words of the parents. Damn Angela, what the hell did she tell her parents and let them all speak for her! Natalie thought angrily in her stomach.
She actually knew that this was because she neither answered Angela's phone nor told her parents the truth. In any case, two phone calls a week for a month and a half would deceive some parents for their sympathy. As for the truth, she really didn't know whether to say yes or not.
According to the books Natalie has checked and some information found on the Internet, in the United States. The proportion of girls between the ages of 14 and 18 who have had preliminary sex with each other is quite high. Psychologically speaking, this is a manifestation of curiosity about oneself. After girls have boyfriends, most of them will return to the right track. Only a small number of girls become gay because of some other factors, so from this point of view, Angela's behavior is still within the normal range.
However, what worried or feared Natalie was that the feeling of being one with each other when they had sex made her lose her heart, otherwise how could she have had sex with Angela for the first time. She was masturbating and muttering her name in the bathroom, so how could she feel so hot about Angela's "dirty" words on the phone.
It's horrible, what if... what if I became gay? ! She flipped through countless books, but none of them could tell her what to do, so she was afraid to answer Angela's call.
But what if she kept calling like this? Natalie thought with some annoyance, or would she just give her a call and make it clear
The girl stood up and sat down, stood up and sat down. It has never been so difficult to make a decision. Others say that she is precocious, and she will think about problems at a young age, but why is she so hesitant about this matter
In the end, Natalie gritted her teeth, turned around and walked out, came to the stairs and looked down, and found that her parents were not in the living room, so she hurriedly went down to the phone, was about to pick up the receiver, but hesitated again When she got up, thinking about the few days she spent with Angela, she always had an uncomfortable feeling.
What happened to yourself? The girl squeezed her fist and showed a wry smile. She slowly picked up the receiver and put it next to her ear, but her fingers had no desire to press the number. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the receiver: " Excuse me, who's... over there?"
The sudden voice made Natalie jump, almost threw the microphone out, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?!"
There was silence for two seconds, and a surprised voice immediately came: "Thank God, Nat, you finally answered my call!"
"An... Angie?!" Natalie became more and more surprised, and she couldn't turn her head for a while, "I haven't given you a number yet, how could the phone just get through?"
"It's God's will, dear Nat." Angela's giggles came over the phone.
"Angie!" Natalie accentuated.
"But I'm telling the truth, you know, I pressed the number just as I was about to call you, and the voice rang before I got through. I heard someone over there, so I asked. It's not God's will, oh Nat, forgive me? I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have said those things. I swear I'll never do it again."
Natalie opened her mouth, but said nothing. She already understood that she should have picked up the phone and the phone was connected at the same time, but this is too coincidental, is it really God's will? ? Or is God going to make a break with Angela
Just when she was cranky. Angela's voice came again: "By the way, Nat, can you help me with something? I really don't know how to make a decision."
"It's ridiculous, is there any genius girl who can't make decisions?" Natalie, who was troubled by her own heart, said unceremoniously.
"Don't be like this, Nat, I think if a girl my age and mature thinking can help me, maybe I can make my decision easier." Angela pleaded softly, before waiting for Natalie to speak. , said to himself: "You know, I received an invitation from Mr. Itzhak today, he is going to hold a charity concert at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, and invited me to be his guest performer, which really surprised me. , I really don't know if I should accept it or not, you know..."
"Wait! Angie! You mean Itzhak? Itzhak Perlman?! The famous contemporary violin master!" Natalie almost called out, how could she not know the famous Jewish violin Grandmaster! It's also one of her favorite musicians!
"Yes, I don't think there is another violin master named Itzhak besides him." Natalie, who was in surprise and doubt, did not hear the slightest pride hidden in the other's words.
"You mean Mr. Itzhak Perlman is giving a concert in Los Angeles and has you as a guest performer?" She repeated Angela's words, and slapped her hard on the forehead. "God, is he crazy?"
"Hey, Nat! I know I'm not as good as Mr. Itzhak. But you don't have to hit me like that!" A displeased voice came from the microphone.
"Well, I mean... how did he invite you to be his guest on the show?" Natalie switched hands to the microphone, all her mind was now on the matter.
"Remember I told you before that I met Mr. Itzhak while filming Schindler's List in Poland, and we had a good chat that time - and Mr. Williams - I was in He played a violin in front of him, it was the part of the soundtrack in the movie, and he praised me, I didn't expect him to remember me, that's all." Angela was a little unnatural when she said this, which was considered a The humility in her bones, but in Natalie's voice, she felt that she was exaggerating herself.
"That is to say, after such a relationship, Mr. Itzhak remembered you, so he sent an invitation. I should really congratulate you, right?" There was a slight sarcasm in his tone.
But Angela came here with a reconciled attitude and didn't care: "Okay, don't beat me, do you think I should agree or refuse?"
Natalie fell silent. To say that Angela's strength in instrumental music is still there, the pure music EP of "Reminiscence" is still on her record shelf. She is sometimes very picky about music. , but can she really be Yitzhak's guest performer? At this time, she had unknowingly stood in Angela's position to consider, although she did not know the other party's complete strength in instrumental music, but since Mr. Itzhak invited her...
"Okay, Angie, I think it's still up to you to make your own decision. Accept it if you want, reject if you want, because you can measure yourself."
The microphone was silent for a moment: "Okay, I see, then when I come to New York, will you come to watch it?"
"You're coming to New York?"
"Yes, I promised Mr. Itzhak to be a guest performer at the beginning and end of his national tour. Don't worry, I'll deliver the tickets to your house."
"But..." Natalie hesitated a little, then she woke up the next second: "Wait! You've already agreed!"
"Promise? Oh, yes, no! No!" the other side said in a panic, "Okay, I'm going to practice, that's all, goodbye!"
"Hey! Wait! Angela! You lied to me again!" Natalie yelled angrily, but there was only a beeping sound of disconnection from the microphone.
At this moment, the mother came out of the back room: "What happened, dear."
"No mother, Angie's phone number, she lied to me again!" Natalie said angrily.
Shirley blinked: "So, you two have made up?"
Natalie was stunned, only to realize that she had forgotten what she wanted to say to Angela, and being disturbed by her, the worries she had always had disappeared temporarily, she spread her hands and sighed, put down the phone and went upstairs Going up, leaving behind only the mother who chuckled and said nothing.
