She looked up and looked into their eyes. It was the boy from earlier. His brown eyes sparkled in the light. Augustine stood back up.
"I'm sorry," they both said at the same time. They laughed together.
"It was my fault; I wasn't thinking someone was going to walk through the door." Augustine apologized.
"No worries. I'm glad you're ok," the boy replied, "I'm James."
"Augustine." she said.
"Like the month?" James asked.
"Yeah, I guess so." Augustine laughed.
"Cool," the boy stood there, "can I show you something?" She nodded and he took her hand, running down the aisle and behind the stage.
"Uhm...are we supposed to be doing this?" Augustine asked.
"I do it all the time," the boy replied. Augustine smiled. They continued behind the stage, until they got to a ladder that lead to a hatch in the ceiling. The boy climbed up and opened it. He disappeared through it, but it stayed open. Augustine hesitated but climbed up the ladder and through the hatch. It lead to the roof of the theatre. She hadn't noticed how late it was, it was already dark outside. She looked up at the sky. Thousands of stars shined. She looked over and saw James sitting down on the other side of the roof. She walked over to him and sat next to him.
"It really is beautiful up here." Augustine exclaimed.
"Yeah. It is." James said, glancing at her. Augustine glanced back, but then looked away.
"So," she started, "do you go to school around here?"
