A/N: in this story, you're the girl who plays the fay with Neal. Also, Todd and Neil are shipped here because I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH ISTG JHDFGASDH
This was it. Showtime. You had been preparing for this for 6 months, and nothing, absolutely nothing, was going to stop you from killing it out there. Neal had told you that his friends from Hell-ton were coming to see him, and nonetheless, you were very much excited. You loved the way the public showered you with applause, and you loved acting, but the fact that most likely hot, preppy, Wellton boys were going to be there made it all much more exciting.
'Ok Y/N, remember all your lines, and all will be fine, you got nothing to worry about ', you thought to yourself. "Y/N, here's the flower crown," Said Maggie, a girl from the tech who you had been working with on the play, "Have you got the gloves on already?" She asked. "Yes Maggie, thank you," You said politely. You looked over at Neil, who was preparing himself to go out and winked at him. It was a running joke you both had, winking at each other. Nothing romantical of course, because you knew damn well that Neil was smitten with his dorm roommate, Todd.
It was your time to go out. Maggie gave you thumbs-up, and you stopped being Y/N, to become a fay for the next hour.
"Either I mistake your shape and making quite, or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite call'd Robin Goodfellow," I said to Neal, now Puck. " Thou speak'st aright". In the back of the room, you notice two figures a boy and a girl, clearly on a date, slip into the back of the theater. You stare beguiled at Neil, as the play demands you to, as he says, "I am that merry wonderer of the night. I jest to Oberon and make him smile, When I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile," Neil makes horse sounds, and you giggle as a fay, while the audience laughs,
" Neighing in likeness of a filly foal: And sometime lurk I in a gossip's bowl, In very likeness of a roasted crab, And when she drinks, against her lips I bob And on her wither'd dewlap pour the ale. The wisest aunt, telling the saddest tale," In the audience, you see a group of boys, one of which stands up as Neil keeps reciting to say something to a grown man. Immediately you know these are Neal's friends, and start looking at each one of them. You can spot Todd immediately, you've heard one too many descriptions of him and can see why he's a perfect match for Neil.
You can't help but notice the cute red-head near him. Not the one who looks like a stuck-up, but the one on the glasses, looking beguiled at her. With the biggest, most dorkiest smile, as if he'd never seen a girl. Of course, he attends an all-boys school. You know actors are not supposed to interact with the public, but this boy is too much of a dork for you to resist. You wink his way and pray he'll talk to you after the show. It's your turn to talk now, so you continue with your line.
"And here my mistress. Would that he were gone! "
You hide behind the trees with Neal and look at the redhead again while stifling a giggle.
~˙˙˙~
The show's over and you're feeling ecstatic. Maggie came and told Neal his father was waiting for him, but you didn't think much of it. All you wanted to do was go find that redhead. With the excuse of walking with Neal, you expected to meet his friends.
"Soo, you like any of them?" he asked, with a grin on his face. "Well, there was one redhead I found cute as hell," You answer, the image of the boy popping in your head again. "Oh please tell me it's not Cameron!" Neil asked pleadingly, "I don't know his name Neal, I only know he was all flustered when I winked at him" "Well just answer, did he have glasses?!" He asked worriedly. "Yep, big ol' round ones. Quite cute if you ask me" You said, a dumb grin on your face again. "Ohhh, so Meeks eh?" "Is that his name, Meeks?" He nodded. "I'll introduce you if you want," He said. "Oh, Neal would you do that please?" You pleaded. He nodded, and soon you were near the boys. "Hey guys, I gotta go, but this is Y/N, play nice ok?"
"Well hello doll," Said a brunette, cockily. The rest of the guys laughed as he pathetically tried to hit on you. "Aren't you a bit short for me?" You asked, teasing back. He short compared to the rest of the guys, but the same height as you. "Whoa, Mr.Dalton I think Mrs.?" The older man asked, "Y/N" you quickly answered, to see the man put this Dalton guy in place " Mrs. Y/N here does not want you hitting on her." He said. You laughed, as did the other guys, and Dalton lifted his hands as in an 'I give up' gesture.
Suddenly, a guy and your friend Chris from school came up to the group. "Y/N, that was fantastic!" Said Chris. "You know each other?" Asked the guy with her. "Yeah, Knox, this is Y/N, one of the brightest minds of the year." You laughed and said, "She talks me up because I help her with Latin" while smiling at Meeks. "Whoa, Meeks, looks like you've found your soulmate." Said a 3rd guy, who was freakishly tall, even for his age. "Hey, Pittsie's right Meeks!" Said Dalton. "Maybe you'll try sex after all!" They all burst laughing at this comment and Dalton messed up the boy's hair. He looked flustered "D-Don't listen to them they're a bunch of jerks," He said as he shrugged. You decide to have fun and take the play brochure in his hand. You scribbled your number near your name in the program and give it back to him. "Well, if you ever wanna try it, give me a call," You said, as you winked at him and left, a big smirk on your face, trying not to laugh, while all the boys went wild and you could hear Chris say, "She's such a wild card sometimes, " and Dalton said, "You got yourself a good one Meeks!" You just kept walking away, laughing at the comments, and as you entered your car, you got a glimpse of the boy, still staring at you with wide eyes.
Did you guys like this? I just love Meeks so much he's the cutest. <3 -Nessie
