Ricky's pov

Me and Nini were dancing in the stage with Miss Jen calling instruction along the way. One of her hands was in mine and the other on my shoulder. I had my hand loosely around her waist. She closed her eyes. An all too familiar sight, not to sound creepy or anything. When we were younger we would always sleep over at each others houses and I normally wake up earlier than her. I would often just stare at her face and examine her features.

But that's all changes now. I can't really explain what's happened between us. We're not the same anymore. We were attached at the hip and now we can barely be in the same room together, I know that I did some bad shit, okay. But I apologized for what I did. Nini kn the other hand just isn't co-operating. She used to be the most forgiving person to walk planet earth. I guess that's all changed now. On the mother hand I was really trying to rekindle our friendship that we had. Gina and EJ also both told me to keep on trying. So did Ashlyn but I feel like me and Nini have both just accepted that this is how it's supposed to be. 

I guess I was just surrounded in thought be had I tripped over my own foot and we fell inches apart. We made eye contact and held it. Both of us refusing to look away. When we started leaning in. Slowly. This weird feeling was doing off because I know I shouldn't be doing this but there's some magnetic power that's just to intriguing.

Our lips lightly brushed when Carlos called out. "No, not in here!" We both jumped away in fright. We looked around and came back to our own little world. Noticing how everyone was starring at us. "Okay, 10 minute break, everyone" Miss Jen called out. Nini immediately rushed away with the girls huddling besides her. The boys immediately ran to me.

"Dude, what the hell was that?" Asked EJ.

"I dunno, okay. It was a moment. Everyone gets those."

"No, they really don't" said Jett.

"I thought you and Nini like couldn't stand the sight of eachother and then you were like 2 seconds away from like making out." 

"Making out is a little over the top"

"Carlos, honey don't jump into things, but I get the term making out, at least with your eyes"

"Yeah, what was that little starring contest thingy?"

"I already told you. I don't know, plus it's East high I mean all sorts of crazy things have happened in this stage"

"I guess. But just to clarify. You don't like Nini right?"

"No. I'm a hundred percent sure. I can't even stand her"

Nini's pov

I scurried out of the auditorium. I needed to clear my head. What the actual fuck just happened. We were doing just fine. I was in my quiet space and just ignoring the fact that Ricky was holding me and then all of a sudden we're like an inch apart, and 2.7 seconds away from kissing. Although it's awkward as hell I'm quite thankful that Carlos stopped whatever that was before it even started.

"Nini! Are you okay?" Called Kourtney who ran out, followed by everyone else.

"Yeah...yeah I'm good"

"Your tone and face say otherwise"

"Honestly Gi I didn't know what that was. It was settle. All nice and calm and in a blink of an eye we were...I dunno"

"About to make out" finished Maddox

"Absolutely not!" I said while gently and jokingly hitting my arm

"I mean y'all do have that chemistry"

"Ash!"

We all laughed quietly as I imagined the scene. I cannot imagine dating Ricky at all. I would feel sorry for his future girlfriend. I won't lie to myself I did have the smallest crush in Ricky when I was like 6. That was before he turned into some selfish jerk, what was I thinking. 

"You ready to go back in?"

"I think so"

"Great...just to clarify, you don't like Ricky in y'know that way?"

"God no. I can't stand the sight of him"

We all piled into the theatre again. It was scarily quiet. Everyone just looked at me. Great. It's like when you walk into a class your not supposed to be in and everyone looks at you like you're some alien form an appoint planet. My gaze met Ricky's and I sharply inhaled. "Girl you good?" Whispered Gina.

"Yeah, all fine"

We sat down and I swear I felt someone's gaze on me. 

 Miss Jen was waffling about the show and the set and blah blah blah but I wasn't really paying attention. You know those times where you're just dwelling in who knows what? When you can't even begin to think about what you were thinking about because you're honestly just confused, one of those.

"Why did you do that?" I heard Jake whisper in my ear.

"Do what?"

"That little thing with Ricky, where like you half kissed.

"I..I..I guess we got carried away...with being Belle and the Beast"

"Hmm, okay" he said sounding unsatisfied. "Just know that he doesn't deserve you" he muttered before turning his head back to Miss Jen.

I nodded meekly.

 When rehearsals were over we walked out. Finally. I just need to go home and sleep!

"Nini, Ricky can you two come to my office please?"
