A Tale as Old as Time

Chapter 6

Leah's pov

Okay so Walker likes me, no biggie. Its not a big deal, it doesn't have to be a thing. Right?

No maybe this is a big deal, I don't know! Why couldn't I have just stayed awake then none of this would have happened! I mean he would still like me but I wouldn't know!

Now everything is going to be awkward and he isn't going know why it is awkward!

Maybe I am just overacting? 

I am seeing him and Aryan to to go over our lines. They are meeting at me house at noon. 

I look at my watch, 11:30!! Oh Gods, Walker is coming in a half-hour.

I speed clean my room and quickly do my hair and make-up. I changed into sweat pants and a croptop that showed a small sliver of my stomach (I may not know what my feelings for Walker are yet but I can still look good.) I set up a bowl of chips and my Annabeth playlist playing softly in the backround. Now I wait.  Aryan showed up at noon on the dot, something he was very proud of....

Walker didn't show up until 12:15. He has never been known for being on time......or comuncating very well.

When they both showed up we practiced our lines for a while. About halfway through the script Aryan excused himself to use the bathroom. Leaving just me and Walker.  I am going to call it and say that this is the most painful silence I have ever been through

"Hmm?' Walker asked. 

"Oh nothing", I say

"Oh sorry, I though you were gonna say something"

"You're good" I say

The awkwardness was painful.

With no warning Walker got up from his seat on the desk chair to join me on the bed. Our leggs were touching and I don't know why but I started to blush. I met Walker's blue eyes, but for only a moment. He cleared he throat and asked ,"Wanna practice this scene", gesturing to his page.

I look down and I quickly reconized the scene he was asking about.

The SIREN SCENE

I knew that all the percabeth fans were on the edge of their seat for this scene and we have been asked about it a lot. I didn't realize THAT was this week. 

He began with his line

"Annabeth I don't know about this. What if something goes wrong?"

He looked to me waiting for my line

I leaned over to read from his paper " Percy I have to know, besides I've got you here to help me."

We kept going until we got to the part where Percy help Annabeth in his arm while she cried. He put his arm around my waist, resting his hand on my stomach. My breath hitch, it was my turn to speak but I couldn't make the words come out.

Timed perfectly Aryan walked back in and Walker quickly pulled his hang back. My skin was still warm from his touch. 

"What's going on in here guys?' Aryan asked with a smirk

"Just going over some lines for next week" Walker replied. Aryan raised an eyebrow "lines huh?"

"yes" I said sternfully "We were just doing lines"

Aryan put his hands up defensivly " Woah woah, I was only kidding, lets get back to it."

At that we got back to work. I spent the rest of the time stealing glances at Walker only to find him already looking at me. His blue eyes made by breath stop short.

Welp I guess today settles it. I think I might like Walker as more then my Co-Star
