Boarding School (on hold)

Chapter 17

~AN
Sorry it has been a while but I promise I will update sooner now that it is summer. Hope you like this chapter!

You would not believe who my partner was. It was Nick! Of all the people on campus, I get paired with the guy I live with. Don't get me wrong, Nick is a great friend, but I wanted to meet new people. Well I guess I could look at the positive side. I know Nick, so I could be comfortable with him. Well... it could end our friendship because of all the kissing. This was a horrible mistake. I shouldn't have signed up. What if I get the part? There are both positive and negative effects. what if I don't get the part? I'll be devastated! Life sucks!

After school, I go back to my room. Nick is there watching TV. Before I left from finding out who my partner was, I got a packet that told me what scene I would audition to.
"Hey, I didn't know you signed up for the play." I said

"Yea, since the play is new, and not Romeo and Juliet, I decided to tryout."

" Oh cool! So, partner, wanna see what we need to rehearse?"

" Uh yea lets take a look."

I opened the packet and pulled out three sheets of paper. The first sheet was some instructions. It basically said that we could read off of our papers at the audition, and to keep everything school appropriate. If we didn't it also listed punishments.

I set the instructions down and then gave Nick and I a copy of the script.

Our scene takes place in the middle of the play when they first kiss. Of course they would give me the kissing scene.

"So... you wanna practice once tonight then practice tomorrow and Friday?" He said startling me fro my thoughts.

"Huh? Ugh sure."

"Okay so i have the first line, just tell me when your ready."

"Okay .....uhm...just pretend you see me crying."

"Okay . uhm are you okay ?"

"Do I look okay ?" I snap at him

"Wow... look I'm just trying to help, do you even know what that is?"

"Yes I know what help is, and I don't have time for your stupidity." I say getting angrier.
" Hey! I was trying to be nice and asked you if you were okay. Remind me never to help you again." he says annoyed

"Look I'm sorry okay? I'm just not used to people helping me. " I say sighing

"It's okay."

"I'm sorry I really am I... I just have been through a lot." I say starting to cry again.

Nick then cups my chin and wipes away my tears.

"Hey, don't cry." he says in a whisper

"I'm sorry, I.... just don't have anybody!"

"Hey, look at me." he says.

I look at him

"You have me." he says

We stare into each other's eyes like the script say. Nick brushes a stray hair away then leans in and kisses me.

His lips were soft and sweet. It wasn't a rough kiss. He then grabbed me and pulled me close to deepen it. His lips against mine set tingles through out my body. It felt good. Wait a minute, this can't happen! I can't fall for him! This could ruin our friendship if it doesn't work out.

I pulled away from Nick and awkward settled between us.

" Soo..... uhm practice tomorrow?" I say.

"Yep"
With that said, we both got up and ran to our rooms.
