We walked into his dressing room and I sat down on the couch. He walked over to the mini fridge. "Do you want a snack or a drink," he asked. "Just water is fine thank you." He handed me a water bottle and sat down next to me. "So Danielle tell me about yourself," he said. "Well I'm 16 I'll be 17 on the 24th of March. My hobbies are drawing and photography. I love to listen to music and I love going to concerts." Afterwards he told me a little about himself and I discovered that we actually have a lot in common. I had just met Keaton today yet it feels like I've known him my whole life. There is just one thing I hadn't told him about... and that was the bullying. "So what's your school like," he asked. My heart started racing. I was really hoping he wasn't going to ask that question. "It's nothing special. It's just like any other regular high school," I said looking around the room nervously. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Danielle why do I get the feeling there's something bothering you," he asked. I looked down at the floor. He moved closer to me and put his arm around me. I thought for a second before realizing that he really cared so I told him. "I hate my school. I get bullied everyday and I can't wait to graduate and get out of there," I said. Tears were starting to appear in my eyes. Keaton hugged me and calmed me down until I stopped crying. When I was calm I looked up into his eyes and smiled. He looked down at me and smiled back. I noticed he was started leaning in so I did too and when our lips met my heart was pounding. Suddenly we heard the door open and quickly pulled away. It was Drew. "Hey have you guys seen Wesley and Kristyl," he asked. "Nope," we told him. "Well I need to find them because we have to get going soon," he said. Try looking in Wesley's dressing room," I suggested. He nodded and started to walk out the door. Before he walked out he stopped and looked back at us. "By the way nice lipstick Keaton," he said winking at us. Keaton quickly wiped my lipstick off his lips as I hid my face in my hands. Drew laughed and shut the door. I got my stuff together and Keaton and I walked out the door. Not long after Drew walked out with Wesley and Kristyl following behind him. The boys offered to drive us home. We happily accepted and during the ride home Keaton asked me out on a date and gave me his number. Once Kristyl and I were home Keaton and I texted each other until I got tired and fell asleep.
