A New Change?

Previously...

"I have a theory..."

"So there's this girl... "

He closed his eyes and started the song

And now...

As I strummed the first chords on my guitar, I realized that I actually liked being on stage and performing.

But now was not the time to dwell on that...

I won't lie to you
I know he's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop

I glanced at where Ysa and Bryan were standing. I could see that they were in a heated argument, Bryan was flailing his arms and pointing frustratedly at the stage.

I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

I watched as Ysa clenched her fists, tears threatening to spill down her face.

I just met the Bryan today, and I had to say, what the heck does Ysa see in him?

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me too
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

I watched Greg while he drew in a big breath and started the chorus

I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

I plucked some chords as he did his big finish

Better than he can...

I watched as Bryan stormed off, leaving Ysa standing alone and looking upset.

There was silence in the room, then loud cheering erupted.
"This was for you Ysa" Greg breathed into the Mike before jumping off the stage.

The cheering got louder, I presumed because he finally confessed who it was for.

When I got off the stage, Dylan ran up to me and hugged me.

When we pulled back I grinned giddily up at him and looped my arm through his. "Let's spy on them" I whispered to his ear, pointing at Greg who was walking towards Ysa.

Stealthily we crept up a few feet away from them, pretending that we were just chatting casually when in reality we were eavesdropping like a bunch of children wanting to know what the adults were talking about.

"Hey... are you OK?" I heard Greg ask her tentatively, treating her like a fragile flower as if he was afraid she would break at a moments notice.

"Yeah... I guess" Ysa said, wiping a few tears away "it's just that... I thought Bryan was going to be the one and... " she burst out crying, Greg slipped his arms around her to comfort her.

"Let's leave them" I whispered into Dylan's ear. He nodded, but I didn't leave until I snapped a picture of the both of them.

I was going to walk over to where Chelsea, Naomi and Gabby were standing but Dylan tugged me to another direction.

Before I knew it we were outside of the gym and into the open area where I remember playing and running around in as a kid.

My hand was in his as we stared out into the moonlit sky. "The view is so beautiful" I sighed wistfully.

Dylan stared down at me and nodded in agreement. I looked up at him and stared into his eyes.

"Jen... " "Dylan..." we both stopped what we were about to say. "You go first" we both said at the same time and laughed.

"We are both so ridiculous" Dylan said, smiling.

"Yes, I know, what were you about to say?" I prompted him. He looked at me with this... expression on his face and I just felt drawn to him.

Our lips were a few inches away "I don't want to be friends anymore" he muttered. "that can be arranged" I grinned and pressed my lips against his.

We locked each other in a deep embrace and deepened the kiss.

I don't know how long we stayed out there, but I wished we could have been there forever.
----------------------------------------
It is Monday and Dylan and I are working on our relationship. We are in this position between friends and something more.

Greg and Ysa on the other hand decided that if they dated it would be too soon because Ysa had just recently been broken up with, but I can see the sparks between them.

Our subject at the moment was Theatre and Arts.

"Good morning" Miss Riovalo greeted us. "Good morning" we chorused. I was seated beside Dylan while Mark was on the chair beside me seated with Daisy and Ysa was beside her.

"As you all know, our school will be doing a production at the end of the year, and this production will be presented by none other than all of you" at this, there was murmuring around the class.

"Silence! Now I have a special treat for all of you. This production will be joint with another class from a different school. Please welcome... the 1st year college students of Holmeck Academy"

Suddenly, about 50 people entered the theater and onto the stage.

Miss Riovalo shook hands with a man who I assumed was the principal of Holmeck Academy.

She turned her attention to the front once more "I will be giving you ten minutes to get well acquainted with each other before I give out the roles for "A New Day"... You may start... now"

I glanced at my friends and shrugged. The five of us stood up and walked over to the stage to "get well acquainted" with the students from Holmeck Academy.

To my surprise, I spotted Greg and Ryan. They saw me as well so I motioned for them to come over.

When they did, Ysa had a blush on her face while Daisy was eyeing Ryan up and down. Mark looked disgruntled at Daisy's expression while. Dylan I intertwined his hand with mine.

I looked at him questioningly but he avoided my stare.

"So, Daisy and Mark this is Ryan and Greg, two old friends from our former school" I introduced them.

"Hi...um... Hi" Daisy stuttered and blushed. Ryan took her hand and kissed it "why hello there" he said in a deep voice.

Whatever happened to the shy young kid who wouldn't talk to anyone but his closest friends?

Mark stepped in and pushed them apart "sorry, it was an accident" he said, not sounding sorry at all.

I looked at him with amusement in my eyes and I could feel Dylan shaking with mirth.

I noticed that Ysa and Greg were still staring at each other.

"Ten minutes is up! Come up front when you are called. Dylan, Heniel, Julia, Mark, Ysa, Marga, Chloe, Lilly, Daisy, Justin, Selena, Greg, Brad, August, Ryan, Tris, Tobias, Oliver, Percy, Annabeth and finally, Jennifer. Please come up to the stage to get your assigned roles. If you're name was not called then you have a choice to either be on the production team or a civilian. That is all"

Wordlessly we all went up to the stage. I was still in shock, I had to do a play with Lilly and Oliver.

And scene!
Disclaimer : I do not own the song "Treat You Better". Neither do I won any of the references that I just used in the names, if you don't get the references then you are not in the same fandom as I am nor are you my friend. Just kidding! But seriously though...
It is like... 5:48 am and I am supposed to be sleeping right now.
Peace!
