“Nicely done, pretty witch. You’re the best actress, impressive!” Then he squeezes me before finally letting go. I stare at him badly, and I see that he smiles.
“Yieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” Oh, that reminds me, we’re at the backstage near my dressing room. And there are some people around use who tease us. I can’t help myself but to smile. And there I see Mylene and Lawrence with pretty unread emotions. They’re not with those who tease us. Weird… I can see no reaction as Lawrence just goes on the other side of the backstage, silently. By the way just what’s wrong with him? He seems to be sober since last time! And Mylene, well, she just stares at Kevin and in her eyes lies… disappointment? Frustration? Or is that sadness? I don’t know, but a little while after Lawrence, she hastily goes on stage. Me? Oh well, I’m here standing, motionless.
“Hey Kate,” Kevin holds both of my shoulders which takes me back to my senses. “…is something wrong?” and his eyebrows come together.
“It’s n-nothing…” I say, pretty unsure of my answer.
“Are you sure?” He asks. A nod is my answer. “I think there is. Is it because I… hugged you?” his hand then goes to the back of his neck and seems to scratch it. He looks cute. But I regained myself at that so I flash him a smile.
“Kinda… It’s awkward, you know…” I say, chuckling. “Why did you do that anyway?”
“I don’t know.” He says innocently and scratches the back of his neck again.
I smile at him, then pinch his nose and compliment him. “You look cute, Kevin.”
“Hey, the witch already found her prince charming!” a scandalous girl shouts from the people around me, she’s maybe one of the audience, and then they start to tease us, which is kind of awkward, because Kevin is just silent, probably stunned by my words.
“Just ignore them.” I say. “Let’s go.” Then, what I also did quite surprised me. I hold him by his wrist! And teases like “yieeeeeeeeeeeee!” are now louder. And I make my way, dragging him.
“Hey, Kate. Where are you taking me?” he asks me as I drag him, and as soon as we’re outside the backstage, near the campus main gate to be exact, we stop. Well, I really don’t know where we’re going. I’m even surprised myself.
“Oh, sorry Kevin.” I apologize. “Actually, I really don’t know where I’m taking you…” then I laugh, and in his face the confusion can be seen.
“Then why did you drag me here?” he asks ridiculously.
“Maybe to escape the teases?” I say. “Well, I really don’t know.” And then he laughs.
“It’s awkward, right?” he says with a smile which I think makes me blush a little. It’s a good thing Gina applied a small pink foundation when she was making over a while ago.
“Kind of… Well, let’ go somewhere Kevin. Let’s celebrate!” I ask him with enthusiasm.
“Celebrate?” he asks, eyebrows near each other.
“Well, since I think I did well at the play, I’d like to celebrate! And I’d also like to thank you…” I say. “…so please?”
“Thank me?” he asks again. “…for what?”
“Yeah, I’d like to thank you for going with me last Saturday, when I bought the props.” And for being my inspiration… but the last didn’t get out of my mouth, it’s stuck in my mind.
