Hearts Burst Into Fire (Dylan O'Brien / completed)

Stage fright.

Friday, May 27th.

-Tomorrow I’ll help you compose the song –Claire smiled.

-Alright, sure you won’t be busy? –Michelle asked.

-I’m sure, besides I need help with the piano arrangement –Claire giggled.

-Claire! –someone behind her said.

-Uh? Oh my God –Claire said with her jaw dropping.

-Hey Claire uh… -he looked at Michelle.

-Hi I’m Michelle –she introduced herself.

-Dylan –he smiled- hey Claire uh… I forgot to ask for your number, you know… to start with our deal –he said in a cheeky way.

Claire just looked at him without saying a word, Dylan looked at her confused as Michelle gently touched her shoulder and whispered.

-Claire talk, now.

-D-Deal? –she said nervous.

-You know… you helping me with my monologue and me helping you with your stage fright –Dylan smiled.

-Oh! Right! the deal! –she said blushing.

-So… may I have your number? –he nervously laughed.

-Here –they both exchanged numbers.

-So I’ll text you later! –he said walking away.

-You heard the way he said my name? –Claire said looking at him walking away.

-I did –Michelle said laughing.

-He said my name… -she said lost in her thoughts.

-He did… AND he asked for your number –Michelle said laughing harder.

-Oh my God… he did –she said blushing.

-I know, he noticed your face turning red –Michelle said making fun of her.

-What?! –Claire asked freaking out.

-Calm down, at least you look cute when blushing –Michelle said.

-Shut up.

-Okay I got to go to class, I’ll see you later! –Michelle said walking away.

Claire walked to class too, she couldn’t take that smile away from her face, and she sat in the final row and took her notebook out. After a few minutes her phone rang.

“Hey Claire, Its Dylan (: um… are you free after class? We should start working on our deal right away! x”

-Holy shit –she whispered to herself as she dropped her phone.

Everyone in the classroom turned around to her and her teacher looked at her mad.

-Mrs. Lavon, do you mind sharing? –the teacher said.

-Sharing… what? –she said blushing picking her phone up.

-I thought I heard you swearing, if you don’t like my class the door is right there.

-Oh… no it’s okay I like your class… I’m sorry –Claire said looking down.

-Okay now back to class –the teacher said.

After the class she walked to the auditorium where she was supposed to meet Dylan, no one was there though.

-Hey! –someone behind her said.

-Jesus Christ –she yelled scared.

-Aw I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you! –he said laughing.
