Guilty As Sin? (Nathan Prescott x reader)

42

Y/n's pov
I woke up with dread and headache that felt like pounding nails. It was the first day back from winter break aswell as auditions for the play. Which I had ultimately decided I wasn't going to audition for. Partly because I felt as though the role wasn't meant for me and also because I knew how much the other members wanted the roles. I mean this was our senior play and probably my last play ever which made me sad.

I groggily got out of bed and headed to the showers. When I was done I brushed my teeth and headed back to my room to get dressed and do some make up. As I was doing such I was listening to Pissheads new album, which I loved already. When I was done getting ready I packed my backpack and headed out of my room where everyone was either heading to the bathrooms or showers or heading to class like me. I stopped by Dana's.

"Hey y/n! Can you believe we're almost done? I'm not ready" she tells me sadly and I reply with, "yeah me neither. What are you planning on doing when we're done?" Curious as to what her future plans will be. "Well I applied to Juilliard but I'm not so confident that I'll get in..." she confesses. "I think you'll get it Dana" I tell her and she nods with a smile. "What about you y/n?" She asks. I cringe at the questions knowing that I haven't got a clue on what I wanna do.

"I'm not so sure yet.." I say embarrassed. It feels like everyone else has it all figured out and I still don't. "Well that's alright you will figure it out!" She says. We talk for a few moments more and then I  headed out of the dorms and began my walk to class.

Classes were  typical except Mrs Grant assigned our final project. The project was to learn the chemistry behind something that affects every day lives. Warren and I were partners and we spent the class brainstorming.

When I walked into the drama room everyone was very excited for auditions, though I could tell some of them were nervous. I sat by Nathan who was surprisingly on time to class. "Hey, you ready to audition?" I ask him. "I guess, I think this play is weird" he tells me and I laugh. "Yeah definitely would've picked something else personally" I tell him.

"I have something to tell you- or sort of discuss with you later. When are you free?" He says to me and I get a little bit nervous. "Uhm tonight I should be free..." I say. "Alright I'll text you the details." He says finally and then Mr. Keaton begins class.

The whole class I anticipated what it was going to be that Nathan wanted to talk about. Once the class was over Nathan and I walked out together holding hands. One thing about Nathan is that his emotions were never consistent sometimes he loved PDA other times he wanted nothing to do with it. So I always just let his actions decide because I didn't want to set of a fuse.

After school was over i walked to my room and called Steph. "Hey! How has it been?" I asked her through the phone. "Great! I've been counting down the days until I get to go see you! I know you said you weren't going to perform but I'm still excited. Is Nathan going to be apart of the show?" She asks. "Yeah he's audition for the role of - actually you are just gonna have to come and find out!" I tell her with a laugh. "That cruel but I guess that means I'll just have to come!" She shouts dramatically. I wonder if she's ever considered being an actor. We talk for about an hour more before she has to go.

I worked on prop ideas for the show which was simple because the show didn't require anything crazy. After a while It was then time to meet Nathan. I quickly slip some shoes back on and head out of the door. I see Nathan and run over to hug him. There was no one around so I figured either way he wouldn't mind. When I hug him he hisses and I instantly step back. "Sorry, too tight?" I ask. He shakes his head, "uh no it's- alright." The awkwardness of the situation was...not great but he shakes his head again and says, "anyway there's something I wanted to talk about." My stomach drops. "Oh- ok" I say. He pulls out an envelope and holds it in his hands while talking. "Over- break I talked to my dad. I applied to Oregon State. Not for business...like he had wanted. But after he convinced me i decided I'd take business classes too. Anyway not the point. The point is i applied and as apart of my application i submitted the photos we took on the beach. And I just got this in the mail." He says referring to the envelope.

"Oh my god Nathan. Let's open it!" I tell him excitedly. "Okay let's go to my room" he says and he leads me there. When we walk inside he shuts the door behind us. He paces his room for a second. "Holy fuck I'm nervous- here you open it!" He says as he throws it at me and continues pacing. I catch it and ask, "are you sure- this is your big moment?" "If you don't open it no one will so just-" he moves his hands in a way to signal opening it.

I take a deep breath and slowly open it and while watching Nathan pace I read, "Nathan Prescott...we are pleased to inform you-"

"Oh my fucking god I did it!" He says and runs over to me and hugs me and kisses my face a lot. "Congratulations Nathan I'm so proud of you!" I hug him back.
