Fine Line Between Love and Hate | Dan x Reader High School

Hello Internet

Hello.

Update: STILL no juice. 

I hope you know I'm going to tell you guys when I get da juice. I feel the need for it.

Enjoy~

Dan's POV

"Cancelled?" (y/n) asked and Mrs. V nodded.

"Given that we've pushed back this musical so much there just isn't enough time left in the year for Beauty and the Beast. I apologize to any seniors who wanted to participate, but next year we're going to do it." she said.

It was after the matinee on Sunday, the last performance for high school musical. (y/n) was now disappointed about the cancellation of Beauty and the Beast, but honestly I agree. There was just so many set backs for this one we wouldn't be prepared enough. I placed a hand on her back and she visibly relaxed. 

"Sorry everyone. Hopefully I'll see you more around the rest of the year."

The crowd dispersed and (y/n), frowned she left towards the dressing room without another word to me or anyone else. I felt the urge to go after her, but she had already entered and I wasn't allowed in. I just headed back to the male dressing room and cleaned up my stuff. I hauled it up in my arms and headed back out onto the stage to retrieve (y/n). I glanced towards the front to see (y/n) sat, facing the empty chairs in the auditorium.

Her arm was resting on her stuff, her legs dangling off the side. They were crossed, her heels lightly thumping the hollow stage rhythmically. I watched as her head tilted down and her hair fell to hide her face. Her back curved and her hand fell to the other resting in her lap. I approached cautiously and took a seat beside her. She looked up, back out at the audience but not at me. I stared down at the floor.

"I like Drama club." she spoke finally. "I was really looking forward to Beauty and the Beast. But I guess I can wait until next year." 

"Yeah." I agreed.

"I supposed I'll just be bored. It's kind of sad that we're just done until next year." she said again. She tilted to rest her head on my shoulder, causing my arms to tingle. "Do you think we'll get lead roles?" she probed.

"I'm not sure. I think you'd be a really good beauty." I complimented.

"What, and you'd be a good beast." she said laughing softly. I chuckled, but it quickly died down. "Isn't it surprising how much kissing goes on in this school's drama department. You'd think the school would prohibit it."

"Yeah, I supposed." I responded, my heart beating a million miles a minute. Why was she thinking about that now? That we'd have to kiss again?

"You know I was re-watching the movie and I realized that they never kissed. The whole plot of the second movie was trying to have a first kiss. Mrs. V just added it." She said. I looked down at the top of her head resting close to the crook of my neck.

"She's a romantic I suppose." he said.

"Why did you join Drama club Dan?" she questioned, letting out a heavy sigh. I thought for a moment, retracing my steps.

"To be honest, I knew you were in it." he said. She lifted her head from it's spot, leaving a warm, but rapidly cooling, spot on my shoulder.

"Really now?" she smirked.

"Yeah, I've already told you I wanted to be your friend, so I thought maybe I'd try this." I said.

"Well that's good. You're a really good actor and I do believe I helped discover a talent of yours Dan. Maybe that's why you're so into cinematography." she said.

"Speaking of... I may or may not have uploaded my first video." I admitted. (ik it's too early in his life, but shush. It's different)

"YOU WHAT?" she screamed, hopping up from her spot, a grin on her face. I listened as her voice echoed out across the huge room. I nodded cautiously.

"Calm down, you'll be the first to watch it." I reassured her.

"Now. Show it to me now." she said. I laughed as she situated herself next to me again, resting her chin on my shoulder to watch with me. I pulled it up, and pressed play. She watched intently with wide eyes.

"Hi. So my name is [Dan]." the intro played and I could feel (y/n)'s jaw drop. I felt myself cringe immediately. She snatched the phone out my hand, watching intently. She watched all the way through picking up my arm to look at the faded bruise from the video.

"That was..."

"Awful. I know."

"AMAZING!" she screeched, throwing her arms around my torso. I hesitantly hugged her back, a blush on my cheeks and ears. "Oh my God you're actually hilarious. You need to keep this up. I can tell you're really something."

"From that? That cringey video."

"You'll get better. I promise." she said, smiling. "You have no idea how proud I am right now." she said, pressing a kiss to my cheek. "I loved it."

"Thanks." my face heating up even further.

"We should head out yeah?" she said, standing up and holding a hand out to me. I grasped it and she yanked me up, grabbing her stuff. "You know, I wasn't feeling to good earlier." she said as we walked along. "And now I feel so much better. Thank you." she said. She looked up at me with those pooling eyes and I smiled at her.

"It's no problem." I said.

"Okay, so when am I appearing in a video?" she joked, changing the subject entirely.

"Whenever." I replied.

"Wait, you're not serious right?" she asked.

"No, I am." I replied and she laughed.

"What kind of video?" she asked.

"I don't know, we can play some sort of game." he said.

"Like...monopoly?" she asked, raising and eyebrow. I broke down laughing and she giggle lightly too.

"No, like a party game. Like never have I ever so viewers can get to know us." I said.

"Okay, that's more efficient. I was like 'no one would really want to watch like 3 hours of monopoly game play'" she said. I chuckled and she pushed open the door with her butt. I watched her struggle for a split second before it swung open with her.

"You good there?" I asked.

"Gucci." she replied and I snorted.

"Shut up weirdo." I said, nudging me.

"You shut up dork."  she replied, dashing out into the parking lot. I chased after her, smiling the whole way there.

Bye.

Still no juice.

It's a mutiny

Stay awesome!
