I'm a part of the Theater Club and today they're selecting the ones who will perform on stage for next month. And I was one of the few who got picked, I got the main role. Lucas got picked as my partner, I wanted to back out immediately, but this is my big break! I can't possibly just ditch out on this. so I eventually played along.
We practiced together because we had the most lines in the Musical and we needed to be comfortable which is never going to happen.
He was actually nice to me. And I kinda want to take back what I said about him and I not getting comfortable with each other. When we said our lines, when we sang our lines together. I actually felt something between us, or maybe it was just me? We held hands because the script told us so, but we never did the kiss scene on the script while we were practicing. He was conservative himself.
The day passed by and now we are going to be on stage after the others finished singing their song. I was nervous, I felt a calm and gentle hand lay on my shoulder; comforting me. "Don't worry, Sara".
We went on stage, it was our part now. We did the scene, we nailed our lines perfectly and suddenly it was time for the kiss. The kiss I wanted to do when we were practicing but he never did. I closed my eyes and I felt the touch of his soft lips agaisnt mine and it felt almost magical.
Hours passed and we successfully ended the show! All the actors bowed to the audience and everyone in the theater was applauding.
Back stage, I wanted to say what I really feel towards Lucas. So, I asked for him for a minute and we went to the back. "What was it you were going to say, Sara?" He asked me and I'm nerve-wrecking. I can feel my heart pounding. I grabbed his arm and placed it onto my chest. "Can you feel it?" I said emotionally. "Yeah... but.. um? uh?" He was clueless. "My heart is pounding, Lucas. I-" I paused for a bit, swallowing and breathed-heavily. "I like you, Lucas. I-I really do!" I looked at him in the eyes, waiting for his respond. What do I get? He laughed at my face and removed my hand. "That was good, Sara", I was dumb-founded, what is he saying? He placed his hands on his hips, "For a moment there I thought you were sincere, but man! You're good!...", "Anyway, I got to get going. The acting was superb, Sara. See you!" and he left just like that. I can't believe he thought I was still acting!
