28. Rain Check

The tedious atmosphere between the group had died down after awaiting each other's turn to audition and it wasn't long before they had found out who had gotten which role.

Anxious, the group of students huddled around the notice board as Miss Keane placed the 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' cast list for all to see.

"Elle, Hermia." Was read out amongst the list, as the girl jumped up and down on the spot in utter excitement. "Riz, Lysander."

"Ay, well done you!" Riz pulled her into a hug to congratulate her, as Cory watched on from behind. "Knew you could do it."

"Thanks, it really means a lot." Elle offered him a soft smile as the rest of the cast list was announced. "And well done to you as well!"

"Proud of you, sis." Jacob ruffled up the smaller girls blonde locks as she quickly sorted her hair back into place. "Looks like rehearsals are about to start already!" He pointed out the rest of the students following Miss Keane, much to the girl's disappointment.

"Couldn't wait for me?" Missy ran to catch up with Nas and Elle, linking onto the smaller blondes arm.

"Oh, I weren't sure if you were finished or not." Nas bluntly said as she walked on a bit from the two girls.

"If you still have a problem with me and Aaron." The blonde began, thinking everything had been resolved the other morning.

The three girls stopped in the middle of the school grounds. "Missy, how many times do I have to say it? I'm happy for you. I think you two are great together."

Missy stood there with a blank face, holding her hand out to look as to say there was something she hadn't quite said.

"Look, I'll admit it. Seeing you two both all loved-up does, you know, makes me feel a bit sorry for myself. Happy now?" Nasreen finally admitted.

"Wouldn't quite say I'm loved up but I'll take it." Elle shrugged as both girls attention returned to Missy.

"How can I be happy if you're not? You'll find someone, Nas. Ell, you'll find someone better." Missy reassured the pair of them.

"Really, how?"

"Have you thought about putting an ad in the news agents window?" Missy chuckled to herself. "I think I should get you two on some dating apps." As the girls gave her a look of disbelief.

"Come on." They chuckled as they walked into the school entrance together.

"What are you smiling about?" Elle looked at Nas who had just joined their table, grinning like a cheshire cat.

"I got myself a new dating app." She excitedly said, as the girls listened in to how it works. "So, if there's someone else on the app, it shows up. It probably won't come to owt but oh well."

"Don't be so cynical." Missy handed the phone back over.

"Nah, we all know that this down is a gay desert." Frowned Nasreen, looking down at her phone.

"Always water in the desert. If you're thirsty enough, you'll find it." The taller of the blondes jokingly advised.

"How thirsty are you, Nasreen?" Elle added onto the end.
