Did I interrupt something?

Groff's pov

After truth or dare, Lin and I went back to our dressing room. I don't know what changed, but something definitely changed in the atmosphere. There was this electricity and tension in the room. "Sooo, why didn't you tell me?" I ask Lin. "Tell you what?". Lin asks, combing his hair with a grey brush. "That you're bi". I answer. "I mean you know I would understand right, I don't care, I mean I'm gay" I rant a bit. Was he not comfortable enough with me to tell me the truth? I hope he knows that I support him no matter what. "I know, I know, I just it's a bit recent that, I you know found out myself, I guess". He says kind of awkwardly. "So, what made you realise you were Bi? You don't have to tell me, if you don't want to". I ask him a bit anxiously. "I have this crush on a guy, but it doesn't matter, because he already has a crush on someone else". He says, avoiding eye contact, with a sad look on his face. My heart stings a bit, I had kinda hoped he liked me. "But yayyyyy now I can gossip with you about guys" I say trying to light the mood. "Uhm, yeah I guess". Lin says still kinda sad.

I need to chat with my Schuyler sisters about this. "I'm leaving to confer with my Schuyler sisters" I announce to Lin with my George the third accent. He giggles. "All right, my king" he answers. I walk into the hallway and bump into Pippa. "Hey, I was just coming to look for you, Renee and Yazzy" I say, laughing a bit. "I was just coming to get you, we want to talk with you". Pippa says, with a big smile on her face. " I'm getting nervous" I say, giggling. We walk towards the girls' changing room, singing a bit of Beyonce on the way there.

We stop in front of their door and Renee and Jazzy abruptly pull the door open and pull me in. "Woahh, relax" I say. "Oh my god, oh my god" squeels Jasmine. "Did you see the way he looks at you, he is so in love with you". Renee says in slightly high-pitched voice. "Who? Thayne, yeah he asked me out, but I said no because I am in love with Lin" I let out a deep sigh. "All right, first of all, Thayne likes you, you've got some game Groff, two people like you. Second, it's not Thayne we're talking about". Pippa says super enthusiastic. Who else can it be? "So, who are you talking about then?". I say, genuinely confused. "My God, you're clueless" Jazzy lets out an exaggerated sigh. "Just tell me". I say in a fake irritated voice. "All right it-" Renee starts saying but is interrupted by Pippa "Noo guess first". "Yass" Jazzy agrees with Pippa quite loudly.

Who could it be? The only two people who come to mind are Thayne or Jack, and they don't know who Jack is. It can't be Lin he like someone else...wait they don't know he likes someone else, so they probably think it's Lin. "Guys it's not Lin". I say in a legit annoyed voice now. "Whaatt, did you not see the way he looked at you during that song". Pippa nods to Renee saying that. "He already said he liked someone else". I say, letting myself fall on Yazzys bed. "Did he really say that" Jazzy asks. "In so many words, yeah" I answer. "I don't believe that, I am going to go talk to Lin". Yazzy says while putting up a peace sign. "Peace out" she says before walking out the door.

Lin's pov

I am lying on my bed thinking about Groff when Jazzy storms in. "Woah, calm down. What is going on?". I say getting up from my bed. "Do you like Jonathan??" She basically shouts. "Uhmm, uhm no, what makes you think that?" I stammer. Yazzy squints her eyes. "You do like him, I can tell by the way you look at him". She says sternly. "All right, I like him". I groan. "But it doesn't matter he doesn't like me". I sit down on the bed and put my head in my hands. "Don't give up on him yet". She says. "He has a crush on someone else". She gives me a soft slap on my head. "You don't know who he likes, you dummy". Wait so he could like me? It feels like my stomach is upside down and my heart flutters like a butterfly. "Wait so does he like me?" I ask taking my head out of my hands. "That is not my place to tell" Jazzy says, but it looks like she nodded a small bit.

Groff's pov

Jazzy came back and basically told me that Lin does like me. I walk into our changing room and we stare at each other very awkwardly. The tension in the room is cuttable with a knife. I walk towards Lin, still staring into his deep brown eyes. I don't get how some people don't like brown eyes. His eyes look like pools of honey, surrounded by dark brown forest trees. God I could just stare into his eyes forever. Suddenly he stands up. I take a few shaky breaths, feeling as though my whole body is overflowing with electricity and my lips are drawn like a magnet towards his. We move in closer, I can practically feel his lips on mine. "HEEYYYYYY" Daveed walks in. We jump away from each other, to opposite sides of the room. Lin lets out an awkward cough. I just pretend to be suddenly interested in the paint on the wall. "Did I interrupt something?" Daveed says. "No" we quickly say in unison. He gives us a weird look, but then shakes it off "Aightt, I just want to invite you to a party Friday''
