My drama class is doing A Midsummer's Night Dream and the performance is next Wednesday and no one is off book except me and three other people out of like fifteen people in the class. I honestly think this play is going to crash and burn. It's going terribly. No one is off book and people keep forgetting or not knowing their cues and I've been really confused with my blocking and cues because I've been sick a lot and my teacher is not being as helpful as she could be because she's already pissed off that no one is ready. So again, it's probably gonna crash and burn.
Moving on, here's the next chapter! Enjoy, loves!

You're only human. You don't have to hold it together every minute of every day

The next day was awkward to say the least. Scorpius and Fred seemed to be treading on eggshells around James, which was just annoying. James was starting to regret his breakdown.
"Look, can you stop bloody walking on eggshells? I'm sorry I had a breakdown in front of you guys but this is just getting annoying." James growled.
"James, what happened at the lake doesn't need an apology. You're only human. You can't hold everything in forever. And I'm sorry, we're just worried."
"Well don't be. I'm not bloody crying like a fifteen year old girl. I can handle myself."
Fred grinned slightly.
"But once you do start crying like a fifteen year old girl, can we start worrying?"
"Why you little-"
"James."
James froze as he heard Teddy's voice behind them. He slowly turned, seeing Teddy there, surprisingly alone, seeing as Victoire had been glued to him ever since they had started dating.
"Can we talk?"
James blinked and then glanced at Fred and Scorpius, who were staring at him worriedly. They knew about his crush now, and they were silently asking if he'd be okay. He shrugged at them before glancing at Teddy. His hair was a dark red today, his eyes the same Amber they always were.
"Sure."
Teddy turned and strode off, James glancing over his shoulder at Fred and Scorpius before he followed. Teddy led them into an abandoned classroom, shutting the door before he turned, his arms crossed.
"Why have you been avoiding me?"
James tensed.
"Avoiding you? I haven't been avoiding you." He kept his eyes on the floor.
"Yes you have. You haven't spoken with me ever since the train ride, and ditched me at Hogsmeade. James, what the bloody hell is going on?"
James frowned.
"Nothing."
"It seems like a hell of a lot of nothing to me, James. I'm your best friend. Why can't you just tell me what's wrong?"
James looked up and glared at Teddy, noticing Teddy's shocked face.
"You want to know what? Ever since you started dating Victoire, it's always Victoire did this, Victoire did that, isn't Victoire beautiful, blah blah blah. You've never met me and Fred and Scorpius at the usual place, always saying Victoure wanted to do something."
Teddy frowned.
"She's my girlfriend, James."
"That doesn't mean you have to spend every minute of every day with her! You could spend some time with your friends! With me! God damn it, Teddy, we miss hanging with you! I miss hanging with you!"
Teddy was frozen in shock at James yelling.
"But you obviously care more about your bloody girlfriend than you do about your friendships." James snapped, turning on his heel and walked out the door, slamming it behind him and went to find Fred and Scorpius.
