Highschool Sweetheart

Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4

LOUIS' POV

Last week, Olivia caught me during rehearsal for the school play of Grease. She comes every rehearsal after school now. Not that it's a bad thing, but one part of the show I am uncomfortably nervous about.

I knew that this scene comes along with the part, but I am starting to regret trying out for "Dany." I know I signed up for this, but that was before I started having... whatever the hell I am feeling towards Olivia.

I have always seen her as my friend. But lately I feel that if I were to perform that scene I would be betraying her, or cheating on her. Today after school will be the first day she sees this scene.

I am not sure how she will react. I don't know what to expect. What if I am the only one in this "friendship" that feels this way about the other? What if she does like me? My stomach flutters at the thought.

After school, I met up with Olivia to head over to rehearsal. Most of the walk was pretty silent. I was relieved when we finally got to the auditorium.

Why was that so awkward?

"Umm.. I'll um.. see you after?" I said. I was so nervous.

What if she gets mad? What if I am completely over-reacting?

"Yea I'm not going anywhere!" she giggles her priceless laugh.

She is the kind of girl that even the slightest smile could light up your day.

I laugh at my stupidity, and head for the stage, waving just before getting on. Here we go...

OLIVIA'S POV

The whole time Louis was talking, I could tell he was hiding something. He's so cute when he's nervous.

God I gotta stop doing that.

I can't help myself. Should I tell him I like him? Why is this so confusing?

I ignore my endless thoughts and focus my attention to the stage.

In the scene there was a car in the middle of the stage and what appeared to be a movie playing behind it. Louis and the girl playing "Sandy" were in the car.

A pit started to form in my stomach.

They're not doing this scene right? No, they can't be. Why am I freaking out? Am I actually jealous?

Almost all the noise in the world silences when Louis puts his arm around Sandy. He leans in and kisses her on the lips.

My heart stops beating and I feel like screaming. My eyes go wide and I scramble to gather all of my things.

I don't know where I'm going or why I'm going. I shouldn't be freaking out. We are not together and he can be with anyone he wants.

As I head for the door, I hear Louis running after me. Thoughts start rushing through my head.

What do I say? How do I act? Should I be mad?

Before I can decide, Louis pulls me around to face him down the hallway he has chased me down.

I can just feel my eyes getting glossy. 'Don't cry' I practically scream in my head.

"I'm... sorry I um... I" he cuts me off by pressing his lips against mine.

The feeling was amazing. I kissed him back with just as much passion. Our lips moved perfectly in sinc.

I felt this warm fuzzy feeling inside me.

No. It was a lovely burning sensation begging for more. So much more.

His tongue grazed against my bottom lip, causing me to let out a slight moan. I could feel him smiling through the kiss.

The passion that was behind the kiss has been held back since I fell in love with him.

I just admitted it to myself.

I am in love with Louis Tomlinson.
