Finally, after a few minutes, the concert band and orchestra were making their way towards us. We were the first group to play. Nick grabbed my hand and squeezed it.
"Are you nervous?"
"No. I've done this loads of times before. Are you?"
"Kind of."
"Because you could hear me if I mess up. I mean, I sit only a few chairs behind you."
"Don't worry about that. You'll do great."
I squeeze his hand for reassurance. He looked me in the eyes and smiled. Soon we had to walk on stage and start our performance. We played fairly well and as I predicted, Nick was doing an excellent job. After about forty five minutes, we got off stage and I waited outside in the hall for Nick. One second later, he rushed out and gave me a bear hug.
"Nick! You did an amazing job! Well done!"
"Probably not as good as you though."
"Okay, one, there are WAY more first violins than there are bass clarinets. Two, they are two different types of instruments so its already hard to compare as it is. Three, just lile you with me, I hate it when you degrade yourself so please, knock it off."
"Point taken..."
"Awesome. Anyway... Let's put our instruments away and take a seat."
"Sounds like a good idea. And if we can't find two seats right next to each other, you can always sit on my lap."
"He smirks at me and I instantly look away, blushing. He laughs and take my hand in his.
"Come on. Lets go."
"Okay..."
We head to the band room and pack up. Nick and I then headed inside of the theatre lobby.
"Do you want to go upstairs or stay downstairs?"
"You choose. I don't really care either way."
"Its up to you Emma."
"Fine. Lets go upstairs since I've never been up there before."
"Really? Okay. Lets go."
I giggle a bit and walk upstairs. Nick and I approach a door and Nick opens the door. I waslk in but there was another set of doors. I immediately rush to them before Nick had a chance to open them.
"Come on. Go inside."
"No. I'm not going to let you open a door for me."
"And why not?"
"It doesn't feel right. I should be opening the door for you. "
"Well I'm not moving from this spot until I at least open the door for you at LEAST once."
"No Emma."
"I could do this all day Nick."
"So can I."
"Okay honestly, I'm not going to budge and I also want to sit down, so make this easier and go inside."
"Fine. But on one condition."
"And that is?"
"You have to sit on my lap. For the rest of the night. And we stay here for intermission. We don't move."
My faces grows a cherry red color. I was speechless. I honestly couldn't even make eye contact with him. He raised my chin and I stared in his eyes.
"So what's it going to be?"
"Okay..."
"Okay what?"
"Go inside. I got the door."
"Heh. Your choice."
He walks in. By this time, my heart beat is pounding like a drum. I walk behind him and he picked out a seat. I walk towards him and he sat down. He then pat his lap and smiled at me. I lushed a fiery red and sat on his lap.

(For the record, I have no idea who these people are, but its like this)Nick wraps his arms around me and peered into my face and smiled

Nick wraps his arms around me and peered into my face and smiled.
"Are you comfortable yet?"
"Uuuhhh..."
"Hehe, cat got your tongue?"
"Ahem... well, n-not q-quite..."
"Why is that?"
"I-I'm not used to t-this..."
"Haha I see."
He grins and kisses me on the cheek. He tightens his grip around me and I could feel my heart about to explode.
"Just relax. You're okay."
"I-I know."
I relax my muscles and try to control my breathing. The other group started playing. It was intermediate band and intermediate orchestra. There was still jazz band and choir after them as well. Each group would perform for about forty five mibutes to an hour so we still had a long way to go
Intermissionwas after the intermediate band and orchestra so we have a loooong way to go. The band and orchestra were playing an arrangement from frozen and Nick tried to get me to sing along, but since I'm insecure about my singing and hate frozen in general anyway, I didn't give in. Finally intermission rolled by and we were the only ones left. Nick started kissing my neck until a staff member came up and kicked us out because we weren't allowed to stay for intermission. We ended up just going outside.
"You know what Emma?"
"Yeah?"
"Why don't we ditch the rest of the concert and just lie down in some grass? We could talk a lot more and just look at the stars."
"Are you sure? We might get in trouble."
"Yeah. Lets do it. I want to spend more time with you."
"Okay. Lets go then..."
Nick takes my hand and leads me to the soccer field behind the portables. When we got there, Nick took off his jacket.
"Are you cold?"
"No. I'm alright."
He then shhok his head and put his jacket over my shoulders.
"I could see you shaking. You can't lie to me."
"Fine. You got me there."
Nick then laid down, and I laid my head on top of him. The stars were absolutely beautiful tonight. I could honestly stare at them forever.
" so... I heard that you're moving to Long Beach. Is that true?"
"Yeah Nick. Sadly it's true."
"I'm really going to miss you."
"Cheer up Nick. You can always visit me you know. Over the summer?"
"No I can't. I'm visiting my parents over the summer."
"Oh, I see. Well, then we can at least spend the rest of our time that we have together wisely."
"Yeah you're right. Hey Emma?"
"Yeah Nick?"
"Promise me that you won't leave my side until you move?"
"Nick, I-"
"I like you too much to let you go."
"I understand. I promise."
I've raised my head and looked into Nick's eyes.
"Emma, remember I promise I made you about kissing?"
"Yeah..."
"Could I kiss you?"
"I don't know Nick. I don't know how to kiss so... I would be absolutely terrible at it. I don't want to make a fool of myself."
"It doesn't matter. I just want you now."
"Okay. You can kiss me..."
Nick turns me over and gets on top of me. I could feel my heartbeat accelerate. He stares into my eyes, as if he was a fat kid and I was a piece of cake. He slowly approached my face, and soon, our lips connected. As I suspected, I had no idea what I was doing. I was so embarrassed. Finally Nick broke apart.
"Sorry... Like I said, I have no idea how how to kiss."
"Don't apologize. Its fine."
I like that down on his chest for a few more hours, until it was time for us to go back to the band room to sign out. Nickatnyte sign out and went to the place where I usually start to get picked up. I called my dad, and he said that you would take thirty minutes to get there. Nick's grandmother already arrive, so I gave him back his jacket. Help me one last time to give me a peck on the cheek. I did the same.
"Good night Emma."
"Good night Nick. See you tomorrow."
"Yeah. I had fun tonight."
"Me too. Thank you for that."
"Don't thank me."
He smiled at me and got in his car. I waited a little bit more, and soon enough, my dad arrived at the school and pick me up. On the drive home, I thought about everything that occurred tonight. This is definitely a night I will never forget.
