9. Beginning of a Game Plan

Chapter 9

Oliver's POV

So now I was Romeo. Zara's Romeo, but hadn't I always been that? Her Romeo? I always played the part for her whenever she wanted. But now things were different... a lot different.

Now I was...umm...I don't know what for her. Now where did I stand in her life..or if I was even counted as a part of her life or not..I didn't know....all I knew was that I had I messed up. Big time.

Playing Romeo wasn't bad because that would force her to be with me and then she would have to listen to my side of the story! She couldn't go on ignoring and hating me forever!

The first rehearsal for our scenes together were the next day.

I decided to try and talk to her then. And then things would be back to normal between us. Because once she heard me out she would understand why I broke up with her and that I didn't mean to hurt anyone...especially her.

But, I realised, standing here, staring at Mr. Gay, lost in my thoughts, will not work for me...I will just look well..attracted to him! Eww!!!!

So I just moved out and exchanged scripts with Jared who was to now play my role.

After a round of congratulations, I headed to practise my first scene with the boys.

Josh's POV

The 'date' meant to celebrate our accomplishment was fun. Seri was one heck of a person who seriously enjoyed every second of her life! With her, I felt as if the world had no misery, no sadness! Shit! I sounded so girly! But well that was the truth.

That was the kind of effect she had on me. She made me feel happy.

Mr. Gay's announcement had caused a lot of commotion. While some people seemed happy about  Oliver getting Romeo's role, others were either unhappy or indifferent to it.

Eversince the announcement though, Zara seemed upset at first and then almost suddenly she seemed pretty much normal as if nothing had happened. Oliver, on the other hand, seemed like he had his head in the clouds. He was lost in thoughts and looked weirdly contended with himself.

Throughout the rehearsals, he was lost. practising hard, yet in a distant world from us. The two of us did not have any common scenes as such, which didn't help the situation as I never really got a chance to talk to him, and by the time we got free,  all of us were too tired after the rehearsals.

But, I was still worried for him. All the while, when I was driving back home, I thought about how we barely had talked in the past few months. And that out me equally at fault because even I didn't really bother catching up with him. 

But I would soon do that, I decided. Soon.

Asking him to come with me for that football match next week, seemed like the best option to get us back on track.
