Unrequited

Drama Queen

As the final school bell rings out loud and proud, a HUGE grin spreads across my face because today... today is the day that I get to go to the prom with Fin!!

Ok, well that's not technically true ... In Grease the play, my character gets to dance with 'Danny' (Fin) for  quite a while,and we hug and talk and everything and it really is going to be fab!!!

So, I quite literally sprint down the hallways of my school in the direction of the car park; down the stairs and right up to Rain's car which I immediately find is locked ...

I roll my eyes and lay my arms down on top of the car and let my head fall into them.

Where the hell is she? She had a free last period! Every other normal Thursday she'd usually be waiting in the car for me but nooooooooo, the one time I want to go there early and be prepared and what not she decides to go off somewhere?!

Sooooo bloody inconsiderate!

I hear a car horn honk behind me and I barely even turn my head enough to see who's beeping in my direction. But I'm bloody glad I do because I see Luke driving his car with the absolutely gorgeous Fin in his passenger seat and Rain just chilling by herself in the back!

"Get in loser!" Rain shouts through Fin'ss window.

I smile broadly at Fin for a few moments and then clabber on into Luke's car.

"Where the hell are we going?" I question from the back of the car, "Drama's not till 5 and Rain? You left yourcar in the car park!"

Luke laughs from the drivers seat infront, 

"Calm down Ally, we're not kidnapping you, we're giving you a lift home because Rain called and asked me to because her car broke down!"

I feel a little disappointment and that and  reply with a quiet and slightly upset "Oh."

"Awwww look at that, she wanted to be kidnapped by us!" Fin says as he swivels round in his chair to face me, "Sorry to disappoint Ma Lady!" He has the cheekiest grin on his fce the whole time and I can't help but laugh.

We pull up at my house and I feel even more disappointed that I have to go.

I look round at their faces; hoping they'll say something like

Only joking, we're all  going to the beach for a week long holiday of just us four ..plus Ava of course!"

But it doesn't come, so i sigh, open the door, heave my school bag out and stand on the pavement facing the car as Luke pulls away and heads up my road to drop everyone else off.

Stupid sensible friends.

By the time I arrive at drama that evening, I'm not really in a good mood. 

It's not that I'm in a bad mood.

I'm just not in a good mood.

Louis has been non-stop texting me about how he's so excited that it's half term in a few weeks and I get to spend every day with him .... Do I really want that?

I mean, i know I love him. I don't doubt that but ... something makes me think that sometimes he's just too much for me? You know?

Seriously, the last thing I need in my life - or want for that matter - is some boy who thinks he can boss my about and tell me who I can and can't be friends with. He's always banging on about how he gets so jealous when he sees pictures of me and some guy on famous, but the only guys i hang around with and take pictures with are guys from drama ... So 90% of the time .... They're gonna be gay?!

So when i walk in, I literally walk straight to a seat and curl my legs up so that I can rest my head in them.

"Right, everyone sit down, we're blocking the script today, so unless you're a character with lines, you shouldn't be here." Jersey says from the front of the room as she tries to get the projector working to show us the actual lines that we are supposed to be reading out.

The script is pretty standard, I mean everyone know Grease right?

And that's when we get to the prom scene ....

There's just this bit where Patty (me) and Danny (Fin) are dancing together.

Well I say dancing, Patty has to be really creepy and hug him tight and barely move as she compliments him on his, and I quote "sensuous and feline" dance moves!

So obviously when I read this my heart literally did a flip and I could feel my face burning up.

I felt like I had rudolphs' nose but it had burst and leaked all over my face!

I tried to keep my face down and cover it with my hands whilst pretending to cough, but it didn't work.

Ava saw right through me.

"Why the hell have you gone so red Ally?!" She whispered to me.

"Oh ... I ...  I ... Just had a coughing fit ..." I lied and pretended to cough for longer this time.

But ... O ... M ... G ... I get to hold Fin for aaaaages!

Like literally a WHOLE SONG, I get to hold him for.

This is going to be the best and most embarassing time of my life ... Remind me to take a million pictures.

We carry on reading this scene and I really do get to hold Fin for a long time, so I turn around to find him in the seats across the aisle from me and I smile in his direction.

He smiles back at me and we hold it for a few seconds . Just smiling away like a happy couple, when out the corner of my eye (behind Fin's beautiful head of hair) I swear i see smoke coming out of Alison's ears.

She has her arms crossed across her body and she's staring me down like there's no tomorrow .. Seriously, I don't think there's going to be a tomorrow ...She looks like she's going to turn into the Hulk any minute now.

Or worse .. Godzilla.

I abruptly turn my head back to the front just in time for my line,

"Even you have to admit, she's a bit of a drip, I mean isn't that why you dumped her in the first place?" I say

I look over to Fin slowly and cautiously as I say this, hoping he'd get the hint and fucking dump Alison like last months shoes.
