More than just Friends? (A Tyler Ward and Alex G fanfinc)

Chapter 10: First Day (Part 2)

~ Alex ~

Tyler and I look at each other, thinking about how this happened.

"Um ok." Tyler says.

"Ok class you know your roles too right?"

"Yes Mr. Walter." the whole class says at a low monotone.  

"Ok so the first scene has Sampson and Gregory."

Two classmates get up with their books and begin to read their parts.

Many scenes go by, and then the first scene with Romeo comes, and Tyler gets up to do his part. 

" Good-morrow cousin." says the classmate who plays Benvolio.  

"Is the day so young?." says Tyler, looking at the book while reading his line.  

They finish the scene and then I have some lines with other characters but when it came to the party scene, both Tyler and I have to get up infront of the class to read our lines.  

Tyler looks at me, and we both get up and begin to read our lines. 

For some reason, we felt like we really were Romeo and Juliet, and while reading our lines, we tried to make eye contact with eye other as much as possible. 

When we finished their scene, we stared into each others’ eyes. 

"Thank you Alex and Tyler! I can see you two were very um.. Into it haha."

Tyler and I shake off the stare.  

"S-sorry Mr. Walter.. Haha... "

Tyler and I sit back down, while the last scene of the day is read. 

The bell rings.

"Alright class you may go now! But first, know that you should practice your lines for the next 3 scenes, so you are comfortable reading the lines next class, so be sure to check out a book in the library before you leave today!"

Everyone leaves classroom and Tyler and I walk out of the classroom and stand to the side of the hallway, away from the crowd of people. 

"So..." I said, breaking the silence.

"What was..."

"Ya... I mean that was weird right?" 

"Ya... Totally haha."

"We probably just got too into the story, like what our teacher said.. "

"Ya..."

"Well I gotta head to my next class, cya in Math?" 

"Ya cya." 

 Tyler heads in the opposite direction and I walk the other way to my sciene class. 

 The next couple classes go by, and Tyler and I meet up again for Math. We of course sit next to each other, and class soon begins. 

Before we knew it, class was over, and we headed to our next class, our last class, which was Acting. 

Tyler and I walk into the theater and walk down the rows of seats and walked up the stairs onto the stage. 

"This is such a big theater! Especially for a high school! " I said, looking around. 

"Ya, I love it here. I even hang out here too, I usually bring my guitar here after school and pretend I am playing a show in my headlining tour..."

"Haha well keep dreaming boy." I say, giving him a playful punch on his arm.  

"Hey! Haha." 

 I laugh, and our conversation was inturrpeted by our teacher, who walks in and tells us to sit down on the stage floor in a circle around her.  

"Hello class! Welcome to acting! My name is Ms. Morgan, and I will be your teacher for my favorite thing of all, which is acting! So let’s play a little game to get to know each other, since we will be acting with each other!"

"A game? We are 5 anymore!" a kid said, and then the whole class laughs.

"Well then, let’s such call it... An activity then! Anyways, so what we are going to do is go around in a circle, and each person is going to say their name and what they like to do in their free time!"

 The first bunch of students said their name and what they like to do in their free time, and then it was Tyler’s turn. 

"Hey guys so my name is Tyler and in my free time, I love to play guitar and sing! "

"That’s so cool dude!" said a classmate. 

"Thanks man!" Tyler says, smiling.

 Then it was my turn. 

"Hi guys so I’m Alex, and in my free time I like to um...read."

 Tyler looks at me in disbelief.  

"Reading? That’s so boring!" a kid said.  

"Well everyone has their own interests ok?" Ms. Morgan said, smiling at me. 

We soon finished the activity and we started our first short play by reading our lines that we were given. Tyler and I got our packets from the teacher and walked over to a corner where no one was and we practice our lines. 

 Soon class was over, and so was school, so Tyler and I walked to his car and he drove us home. 

 When they got to my house, he stopped the car next to the sidewalk. 

 I was about to get out, bag already on my shoulde,r when Tyler stopped me by grabbing my arm. 

"Alex wait, I need to talk to you about something."

"Um ok what is it?" I say, sitting back down in the car seat and turn to face him. 

"You know when we did the activity thing in acting today? "

"Ya?"

"Well why did you say that you liked to read? And not sing?" 

" Because I like to read." 

"No.. I don't think so.." 

" Hey I like to read Ok?" 

I start to get out the car again, but he stops me again, and I sit down again with a sigh. 

" Alex, tell me why you said that." 

"Um... Well.... It’s just that if I said that, then people would expect for me to sing in front of them...and well you know that I can’t sing to people..." 

"But what about me? You sang to me the other day! I am sure you would be able to sing to other people." he says, smiling.  

"I don’t know... I gotta go ok?" 

"Ok... Cya." 

"Bye." 

 I get out of his car and walk into my house, but I look at Tyler before closing the front door.

 Tyler sighs, and then drives home.
