Love hates.

Chapter 22

It was the day of the play. And I was nervous as hell. Last night I could barely get some sleep, knowing that today was gonna be big.

Right now I was in the theatre because our class was having the class here.
Since today was the show, we were practicing with our all.

Physically being on stage, being a character that i'm not is so fun, and makes me remind myself why I love acting so much.

But today when we were acting out lines, me and Alex actually danced in front of the class. And it was pretty uncomfortable, but once I got into the choreography, I got lost in the dance.

Alex only got one dance alone. Then I have two. Then we do three dances together.

And when Alex and me got together did our first dance together it was funner than ever, showing our moves, and lifts.

And when we finished everyone around us watching gave an applause, looking shocked. And honestly i'm still shocked too; how fast I learned how to dance. Sure it came with frustration and annoyance but it was worth it.

We continued until we finished. Then the bell rang, indicating to switch classes.

After Ms. Matildi explained how everything was gonna go this afternoon, she let us go.

Apparently we have to stay after school and practice once more, then the other classes of Ms. Matildi will help us get ready for the scenes, and "observe" our acting, since we're the acting honors class.

I was walking out of the building when Alex decided he wanted to walk with me.

"So are you ready for tonight?" I heard him ask.

I automatically thought about the kiss we would have to do tonight, but I avoided bringing it up. It would make situation way too awkward.

I cleared my throat. "Yeah. I'm sure I have the roles, and dance routines, down right."

He nodded. Shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

He shrugged. "I guess so. It'll be fun.. You know with the dancing and all."

Even though that wasn't meant to be come out awkward, it did. At least in my head.

And you know why? Because of the stupid kiss! It's been floating around in my mind all day, and as much as I've tried I couldn't get it out of my mind. Its was impossible.

But the thing I needed to think about right now, was to concentrate on the conversation I was having with Alex.

I didn't want him to leave me because I was so awkward.
It was nice to be in his company.

So I decided to change the subject. Fast.

"Do you like eggplants?" I blurted out stupidly.

He looked at me with a weird face.

Way to go Malerie.

Note the sarcasm.

"I've never tried them, so I wouldn't know."

"Don't, their terrible."

He smirked, and nodded. "I'll keep that in mind."

Then it was his turn to change the subject. "So between the last hours, have you gotten yourself stuck in another bathroom yet?" he said smugly.

I rolled my eyes. "No."

"Are you sure?"

I gave him glare. "Yes." I crossed my arms. "You know one day I hope you get stuck in a bathroom. Then you would understand my pain."
