Wishful Thinking

Chapter Twenty Three - Nearly There

Wednesday 18th March

Yes! Just a few days and then I would be on a plane whizzing off to the west coast of America to begin filming! I was really excited, words couldn't even begin to explain how excited I was. But the excitement was shared, between America and something else. One of my friends was throwing a party and had invited practically the entire year, except a few populars. I was invited, Kacie was invited, Arthur was invited and so many other people, I was excited for that! Also, we were breaking up for Easter holidays on Friday so that was something else and it was also my birthday on Friday! Then I would actually be Shai's age. All this excitement was really getting me because I had been hyper since this morning and would likely be hyper until we arrive in America next Wednesday, it was great! I dumped my bag on one of the shelves and walked into my fourth lesson, drama. I was a little late but it was drama so who the hell cared?! "Okay, today is you're last drama lesson so I thought we would do something fun, seeing as how the last few lessons have been complete and utter bores."

Literally everyone nodded and I sat down next to Pip, "I'm going to put you in a pair and we are going to do some improvs." Miss continued, I groaned. Improvisations weren't my favourite.

"Alright, let's start with John and Anna, Amelia and Harry, Gwen and Felix."

I tuned out after miss said my name, I didn't really care who everyone else went with. Felix and I joined the two circles that were forming out of the pairs and I set my chair down on the inside circle, facing the outside circle and Felix. "Let's hope it's something normal." Felix commented. I smiled in agreement, it was always awkward when it was something weird.

"The first one, the person on the inside is a homeless person who finds a winning lottery ticket and the person on the outside is a wealthy person who loses their wealth." Miss announced.

I sighed a little relieved, this one was slightly normal but not completely. Felix and I got up and started acting it out, a little over the top but completely worth it.

It went on like this for most of the lesson, the people on the outside switching after every improvisation. It started to get awkward when Tony Stuart and I were doing one. The people on the inside were Gods and the people on the outside were flirty people who had to try and win over the Gods. I couldn't help but laugh all the way through our one, let's just say Tony isn't the best when it comes to winning over a Goddess. But it got even more awkward when it got to Harry and I, the roles were switched then and the people on the inside had to win over the people on the outside, that was embarrassing. And not something I wish to dwell on.

And yet miss still hadn't given us the worst. Arthur was in the pair next to me, with Amelia, and I faced Tony, Amelia's boyfriend. It was the most uncomfortable thing ever. And the next improvisation just made it worse, "I want your pair to be a couple."

My eyes shut in disbelief and I heard Tony laugh slightly, this was not happening. Then miss continued, "The people on the outside are going to propose." My disbelief grew, this was not happening. "I want you to make it as romantic as possible."

I swear, when she said romantic she looked right over to Amelia and I, then I shared a glance with Amelia. She had the exact same expression on her face, embarrassment. Then I looked at Tony, he was smiling smugly at me. "We're gonna have to do it anyway." He shrugged.

"No, we are most definitely not." I blurted, "Shai and Sebastian do not form a romantic relationship."

Tony shrugged, "They get close though." He waggled his eyebrows and I felt like collapsing on the floor right then and there.
