her best friend [7]

Y/N's pov:

It was Monday again. The day of the stage kiss. To say I was nervous was an understatement. I was shaking. Cat had to keep reassuring me that everything will be fine. I was just scared to mess up and become shy again when the kiss comes.

Sikowitz started calling people on stage. I was sitting next to Tamara. I'm pretty sure she realized how stressed I was. She took my hand into hers and held it. Watching others act calmed me down for some reason. Jade made me laugh. She didn't even try to pretend she liked the kiss. The disgusted look on her face was something else.

Suddenly, I heard Sikowitz call me and Tamara on stage. We stood up and walked over there. Tamara gave me reassuring smile before we started.

*they were playing a famous couple that dated for fame but one of them was secretly in love (Y/N was playing the one in love)*

"Phew, all the paparazzi are finally gone."

"I love you."

"What? I told you the paparazzi are gone, you don't have to pretend-"

"I know. This isn't pretend. It never was."

"What are you saying?"

"I've been in love with you ever since we started this...thing. I don't want it to be fake anymore."

"I- I can't believe this."

I gave her a sad look. The same exact one I gave her multiple times while we were rehearsing.

"You're being ridiculous." she said, turned around and started walking away, just like we planned.

It was time for the kiss. Without hesitation, I grabbed her hand, pulled her close and kissed her. She slowly put her hand on my neck, deepening the kiss. It felt good. I could taste her sweet chapstick. We were both so into the kiss, that we didn't even notice how long we stayed in it for.

"Ok that's enough." Sikowitz yelled.

We stopped kissing and I chuckled. We left the stage and went back to our seats. Jade was staring at me, as usual. Staring at me was her hobby. She usually stared at me with a smirk, but this time, she looked as if she was jealous or mad. I didn't pay attention to it. Even if it was just a stage kiss, I started to really like Tamara and I wasn't gonna let Jade get in the way.

Jade's pov:

Watching Y/N and Tamara kiss made me upset. They were so passionate. I couldn't watch it anymore, so I simply stood up and left the classroom.

"Excuse me, is Tamara in that class?" some girl asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Oh, I'm her best friend. It's kind of an emergency, so I have to go." she quickly muttered and ran off.

Tamara's best friend huh? Perfect. A little voice inside my head was telling me to use her to make Y/N jealous. Why did I want to make Y/N jealous? Whatever. That doesn't matter.

I spotted the best friend leaving.

"Hey, you! Whatever your name is.. meet me by my locker after class." I shouted.

"My name's Willow."

I didn't care what her name was. She wasn't even my type. Despite that, she was perfect for my plan. If she doesn't play along, I'll just scare her with my scissors.

The bell rang and Y/N started walking towards her locker with Tamara by her side. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around. It was Willow.

"Hey babe." I said and kissed her cheek. "If you don't play along, I will end you." I whispered into her ear.

She quickly nodded.

"Are you guys dating?" Tamara wondered in confusion.

"Yes. We are." I confidently spoke before Willow could.

"We are gonna have to go on a double date!" Y/N mentioned.

"You wanna go on a date with me?" Tamara asked while giggling.

Y/N started blushing hard. It made my blood boil.

"Let's go." I told Willow and dragged her away.

*two weeks later*

My plan didn't work. Y/N didn't get jealous. Instead, she started dating Tamara. I barely even saw Y/N around. All she did was hang out with her new little girlfriend. Even Tori started missing her.

I knew my plan was pointless at that point, so I decided to end it. I found Willow and dragged her into the janitor's closet.

"I don't need you anymore." I said.

"What do you mean?" she quietly questioned.

"That means that we can stop pretending we are dating!" I yelled. "But don't you dare talk about this to Tamara."

"O-ok."

I stomped out of the closet and left Willow in there alone. I wasn't done yet though. Next, I tried to find the one and only Tamara. Thankfully, she was alone, there was absolutely no one around her.

"Break up with Y/N." I stated.

"Why should I?"

"Break up with Y/N or something very very bad will happen to you." I threatened.

"Like what?" she raised her eyebrow at me.

I read this to myself and it's really boring I know, but I'm trying my best. It feels like this story isn't going anywhere but I will try to make longer and juicier chapters from now on.!
