Star Crossed

Chapter 4- Jealousy

(Emma's POV)

I join the group in the audience seats. I sit beside Killian and he smiles at me. I smile back.

"Killian?"

"Yes, love?" He adjusts himself in the seat so he is facing me more.

"Can you promise me something?"

"What is it?"

"Whatever happen today, promise that it won't come between us. Yesterday, Ruth loved you! She thought your acting was amazing! You could most definitely be in the running for Romeo. If I by any chance get to play Juliet, then we have to make sure it won't be weird between us."

"I promise love." He smiles.

I look away and grab my script from my bag and start reading through it. I get a few shivers and my hands start to sweat. Killian must have noticed because he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.

"You are going to do amazing! You have so much talent and I believe in you Emma. You know that you can do this and you just have to go in there and show Ruth what you can do and what I'm sure she already knows you can do." He brings my hand up and places a kiss on the back of my hand.

That's not weird for a friend to do, right? I smile at him and squeeze his hand. Ruth comes out and the crowd starts to quiet.

"Good afternoon everyone!" She is all smiles. I smile back at her, hiding how incredibly nervous I am. "Today is day one of our production of Romeo and Juliet. I will be calling you all into my office individually and you will present a scene of your choice. Without further ado, first up is.... Ashley Boyd."

They leave into her office and we are left out here to wallow away in our nervousness. I look at the lines I have to say when I do my audition. I start walking around and saying my lines to myself. That is until a group of girls approach me. Milah and her bitch squad. The ones who think they are so much better than everyone else.

"Hey Emma!" She says all cheerfully.

"Milah." I say flatly.

"So... we were wondering, what is up with you and Killian? He's quite the catch isn't he? He sure seems to be into you."

"No. No there's nothing between us." I shake my head.

"You sure about that? It looks like he is undressing you with his eyes right now."

I look over at Killian. Our eyes meet for the flicker of a second, before he looks back at his script with a smirk.

"I'm sure it was nothing." I smile.

"Good! That means that I have free reign on him!" Wait what?

Something inside me sparks. "Sorry but I'm not sure if that is going to happen."

She scoffs. "Why not?"

"Killian has no interest in a girl like you."

"What is a girl like me? Huh?" She tries to intimidate me.

"A prissy bitch who expects everything to be handed to her on a silver platter that really needs to get off her high horse." I smile and walk up to Killian. I can feel Milah's eyes burrowing through my head.

"Hey Swan. Everything okay?" He looks up to me before I sit down.

"Yeah everything is awesome." I smile at him. "Killian what do you think about Milah?"

He looks over at her. "That she is looking at me like I'm a walking sex machine. But hey can I blame her." He smirks and raises an eyebrow at me. "Asides from that I personally think she is a bit of a bitch. Why do you ask?"
