I Used To Wonder | BOOK 2 | COMPLETED

|| Chapter 4 ~ Drama Department ||

I rushed over the the Drama Department and waited outside of the theatre. The lights where being tested as they illuminated out onto the empty stage. Our theatre was ran by one of the older students named Grian Larlock. I had only heard of him so i did not know his specific age nor did i know what he looked like.

I pushed open the back doors and suddenly i was standing behind hundreds of rows of seats. I noticed a male walking across the stage with a phone in his hand.

It took me a while to finally reach the stage, by a lot of stairs, but i got there in the end. Mysterious male look very old for his age but i didnt want to be rude. The man ,whom assumed to be Grian, was now sat on the front row.

"Hey," i smiled and put my hand up for a little wave, even though he was about 7 steps away.

"Oh, Hey," he stood up and slipped his phone into his pocket realising that i was stood there ",You must be Leora?"
"Yeah, are you Grian?" I asked not want to be wrong.

"No, Grian is my son. He has gone out to get some stuff from back stage so he will be back soon," he smiled.

"Oh-uh."

I sat 2 seats away from Grians dad and i got out my phone.

Olivia!(; Hey, Please meet up after theatre please!

Ugh.

What is it so important that Olivia has to tell me?

My head shot up as i heard a crash from back stage.

I slid my phone back in my pocket and stood up.

The ,much younger looking than Grains dad, boy came out. The first thing i noticed was his messy brown hair. It was much lighter than Isaacs.
His eyes where a sparkling green and he had glasses to fit in. I did have to say he was kind of good-looking. I know Olivia would think so.

"Sooo, maybe THAT is broken... but super glue COULD fix it... Maybe?" He said peering back over the red curtain. A smile was already on my face.

"God damn it son!" Grians dad ran backstage looking petrified.

Grian kept looking at the damage until he noticed me.

Am i invisible to people?

"Hey! You Leora Threade?" He asked walking over to me.

"Yeah," i smiled.

"Yeah, I had to call your dorm and your boyfriend answered so i wasnt sure if you where going to turn up," he smiled ",So, You Leora are going to direct a play!"

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

"Uh-huh, yeah."

"Yeaaahhhh...." he looked confussed.

It was kind of awkward.

"So is 'yeah' like the only word in your vocabulary?" He chuckled.

"Yeah. No, but i would like to discuss some ideas with you."

"Okay so what do you have?"

We took a seat on the first row.

"Maybe we could do:
-Peter Pan
-Hopeless Dreams
-Alice In Wonderland
Thats all ive got!"

"Right Okay!"

"I am gonna think about the story lines and if we can do them!"

"And we have to do auditions for when we pick which one."

"Yeah, i have to go," i checked my watch, reading 5:32pm ",I have some important stuff to deal with."

"Alright, nice to meet you." He said. I stuck out my hand and he connected with mine. We shook and let go. I ran up all of the stairs not looking back.

I came into the front door and saw Isaac comforting Olivia as she cried.

"What happened?" I rushed towards Olivia ,Whos mascara was dripping down her face.

She clutched onto my hand as i knelt down infront of her ",Ive got something I have got to tell you..."

She was sat on the sofa with Isaac looking down at me. His eyes shining.

"Leora..." Isaac whispered.

Olivia began to speak so i turned my attention back to her.

"Riley-"
