Not Just Acting (Negovanman)

Chapter 10

"YOU TWO MADE OUT?!" Sharon yells excitedly over the phone.

I pull my phone away from my ear and rub it. I think she just broke my eardrum. I switch hands and bring my phone up to my other ear.

"Damn, Sharon," I say. "Quiet down."

"I'm sorry," she whispers. "I'm just really excited for you."

"Thank you." I smile, happy I have hardcore accepting friends. "Just don't yell off my ear next time."

"I might, but you should prepare yourself for Kaitlyn or Annie to do the same."

"Okay, I will." I laugh and wander into the kitchen.

I stare at the fridge, even though I'm not even looking for anything. It's a talking on the phone thing. I always do the most random things on the phone. One time I caught myself sitting upside down on the counter. Like, how did I even do that without falling?

"So... are you two a thing?" Sharon asks calmly.

"She didn't say anything about it but I hope we can be soon." I smile to myself at the thought of being Natasha's girlfriend. I'll be able to hold her hand in public and get to introduce her as my girlfriend. That sounds like the greatest thing ever to me right now.

She squeals loudly. "I'm so happy for you Elise. I knew you two would end up together since I first saw you two acting together. Those feelings and looks weren't just acting, and I'm happy to say my intuition was right."

I smile even wider. Carmilla was the best thing that has ever happened to me. It introduced me to Natasha, Sharon, Kaitlyn, Annie, and the rest of the cast. They've become so close to me. I wonder how different my life would be if I never went to that audition.

"Do you think you can drag Natasha to the movies with us at seven tonight?" Sharon asks, sounding hopeful.

"Yeah, but what movie are we seeing?" It really doesn't matter to me.

"That new one, um... It's like..."

"That is very descriptive, Sharon." I laugh.

"Oh! Batman Vs. Superman. Yeah, that's it."

"I didn't know they made a Batman Vs. Superman movie."

I think they're just trying to extend that superhero movies for as long as possible to make more money. Unless it is part of a comic or something, I had no idea. That's not the type of hobby that I follow.

"It's supposed to be really good." Sharon pauses. "But I'm going to let you go now. Call up Natasha, ask her, and then I'll see you two later."

"Okay, bye." I smile before hanging up.

She assumes Natasha will automatically come with but what if she says no? Fear settles in my stomach as my finger hovers over Natasha's contact name. She already let me take her out to a mysterious, random place; I'm sure she will accept a movie. I press down on her contact picture and click call.

"Hey, Elise," Natasha answers cheerfully.

"Hey, um, Sharon invited me to the movies and I was wondering if you wanted to tag along. We're seeing Batman Vs. Superman."

"Batman Vs. Superman, huh?" She doesn't sound convinced. Great. I asked her to go to a movie she doesn't even like. "Yeah, that sounds like fun. Is it just going to be you, me, and Sharon?"

"I'm almost positive at least Kaitlyn will come too," I say.

"What time is the one we're seeing?"

"Seven. Want me to pick you up?"
