You And Me GxG

Acting Classes

CHLOE'S P.O.V

"No, no, no, when Halis is presetting his lines with all characters in a love story the effect is better when they put not only feelings into their lines, but movement. Move with the words and try to convey the same type of emotion in your movement as you do with the words." Said Andy.

It has been a week now since me and Kaitlin started getting classes from Andy and we are improving, but I'm worried that we aren't improving fast enough.

"Can I ask you something?" I say to Andy.

"Take 5," Andy says with a sigh.

"I am great-full and all, but as it is I don't think we are improving fast enough," I say.

"Nonsense, if you keep this up we will have ample time to work on the play, provided it's finished by then." He said becoming sterner.

"Bec's on it, she is the best that we have," I say.

"Ahhhhh, yes, Bec, Sam's significant other," Andy said.

"How did you know that?" I said surprised.

"The whole school did, you and Kaitlin were the last to find out, meaning I finally beat Kaitlin to something," Andy said.

"What do you mean?" I ask genuinely curious.

"I have what you'd call a title at this school, the man of many hearts," Andy says.

I look at him blankly.

"They say I can take anyone who's heart doesn't already belong to another fall for me." He says looking at me.

"Sorry, but her heart is taken by your's truly," Kaitlin said sliding in next to me.

"You know me, I need convincing," Andy said.

"You want convincing?" Kaitlin said as she pulled me in and kissed me.

"OK," Andy said.

Andy turns around claps his hands and the rest of the drama kids start packing away.

"So, I guess that's a wrap for today," I said.

"In that, you and I can have some fun." Said Kaitlin.

"Oh, how foolish of me, I forgot your sex drive has increased over the last week," I said.

We get home and my mun is waiting to talk to us, though I could tell she was focusing on talking to Kaitlin.

"Kaitlin, Chloe, we need to talk." She said and I could tell Kaitlin was getting scared.

"Is there anything specific that you want to talk about?" Kaitlin said.

"You two getting close." My mum said.

"That is kind of part of the job, we need to try and be friends," Kaitlin says.

"No, I'm worried that you may be becoming more than just friends," Mum said.

"What makes you say that?" Kaitlin said, still too afraid to say anything.

"You seem to be spending a lot of time in your room, alone," Mum said.

"We're teenagers, what do you expect and that is both of our bedrooms. Look, can we talk about this later, we are both beat and we need a lie down...to relax." Kaitlin said getting a 'look' from mum on the words 'lie down.

I followed my sister into our room and when the door was closed she spun around, hugged me tight and started crying.

"I don't know how much longer I can do this, I just keep lying to her about how I feel about you, about all the girls I had feelings for in the past." She cried as she slid down to the floor and I went down to cradle her in my arms.

"What do you want to do?" I ask not fully knowing how to respond.

Kaitlin got up snivelling and wiping tears from her eyes.

"Tell her, I have no choice, if I want things to get better then she has to know and whether she likes it or not she will accept my feelings." She said.

"Ok, but I think your father should be there to help your mother understand...wow that's the first time I haven't called her my mum," I said.

"We can't, my dad left already his bosses were right, he was only here for two weeks," Kaitlin said.

I think for a moment and come up with probably the worst plan ever, but its sheer audacity may cause it to work, I sigh.

"I've got something it is probably the worst plan ever, but its sheer audacity may cause it to work so just keep an open mind when I tell you, ok," I say getting a shaky nod from Kaitlin.

"We get all the girls you have had a relationship with and had feelings for in the past and have them help us to convince your mother to accept you... to accept our feelings." I say, still sounding ludicrous.

"No, showing her that the feeling go both ways may just work, some of the girls I had feelings for felt the same way about me," Kaitlin said.

We both stand silently for a while.

"Well, time to put our acting classes to good use," Kaitlin said.

"We've only had a few classes and I haven't been doing as good as you," I said.

"Then I'll play the lead you play the support if you're cool with that," Kaitlin said tacking my hands in hers.

"Fine, but how are we going to get them to, well help?" I ask.

"Unlike you, if I can promise them something they will do anything for me." She said.

"So what are you going to promise them?" I asked fearing the answer.

"That is the hard part, over the years they have changed, which means that what they want from me may be hard to give. So there may be some heated negotiations tomorrow at school, but for now, we need to work on our lines." Kaitlin said.

"Lines?" I asked.

"We are going to make our asking for help, a performance," Kaitlin said smiling at me.

THE NEXT DAY

We made quick work of most of the girls on Kaitlin's list, but now we had to deal with what Kaitlin said was the one who may want more than Kaitlin was willing to give.

"So, you want me to help you be happy, I tried so hard to make you happy and it was never enough," she said.

"Look, Vicky..." Kaitlin started.

"You don't have the right to call me by the pet name you gave me anymore." Said the girl.

"Ok, Victoria, if you do this I can promise you one request," Kaitlin said.

"So I get a request," Victoria said.

"Yes, one and only one," Kaitlin said.

"When will this request be fulfilled?" Victoria asked.

"Friday, that's when I'm free," Kaitlin said.

Victoria went over this in her head.

"My place, 8 pm," Victoria said getting up and going to lunch.
