Let Me Love You

Chapter Two: Fate or Coincidence

"Hey Nicky!" someone called behind my back. I turn around and look.

"Hi Travis. Whats up?" I asked. "Hi Mia."

"Are you serious?"Travis replied. Mia grab my hand.

"The audition for new members is starting today. You don't know any of that?" she told me.

"I'm sorry, no. Are we starting now?"

"Ahuh. Let's go." They both grab my arms and we ran heading to the Drama Club.

The corridor was crowded with new faces. Each hoping to be qualified as a cast in the upcoming Senior's Musical. I sat down on our mini benches. Listing each aspirants who qualified for a call back. After so many people auditioned, I stare blankly into my paper. 10 out of 30 qualified for a call back. Yes. A CALL BACK. We, the members gathered together. Travis announces the decision and everyone is so disappointed. The people murmur from there to there when suddenly, we heard voices from the corridor. It was so loud that everyone in the room startled.

"Sir, just let me explain." the voice of a guy said. My heart started to race stupidly.

"No Mr. Bruscheles, your father and I already agreed to put you in the Drama Club instead of the community service." Mr. Smith said. Yeah, my instinct was right. It was James.

"Why Drama Club? I can't act. Just put me anywhere you like. Not this." He looked at us. "Sorry guys, I did not intend to offend you but I don't belong here."

"You should go talk to your father Bruscheles. Travis, leave one spot to Mr. Bruscheles. He might be staying with you guys for awhile."

"Yes sir." Travis answered. Mr. Smith left.

"Come on man. There are hundreds of people trying to kill for this spot. Why do you have to choose me?"

"We did not choose you. Why are you here anyway?" Travis asked him. James frowned cutely and it made me tremble. I really hate this feeling. I just can't control it.

"Dude, you don't need to know, I'll go talk to my dad first. I'll be back tomorrow if he doesn't change his mind." he turned away and took a few steps.

"Bruscheles hold up. Go give Nicky your full name and contact number. We need that from the new members."

He walk directly to me. "Are you Nicky?" he asked. I never look up to see his face.

"Yeah, may I have your number?" I clicked my pen and my eyes focused on my paper.

"Sure. You've been a member in this kind of environment since when?" he asked. I tried to look at him but I failed. I mean, I might be unconscious anytime if I try. Not that I'm deadly inlove with him. It's just that, there is something about his eyes that melt me. I've never been the kind of person who confess being in LOVE. I'm no ordinary teenager. James is just another guy who always link to someone. Very ordinary guy in the world. Not rebel but kinda. Not bad but sort of. Boys you know..

"Just last year. And I don't act too. I mean I can't." I replied.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"I'm responsible for screenplays. And assistant director last year by Trevor Bryce Lincoln."

"Trevor. Last year's Drama Club President?"

"Yeah. Travis wants to continue his legacy. And Trevor will help us with our Musical this year. Everyone is so excited actually. For his homecoming."
