SECRETS - DIZA ONESHOTS

7. FORBIDDEN(pt.1)

Can this be considered an oneshot?

Liza's POV
I'm in a dance team, he's a basketball player at school. If my life were normal, things would be different: We could be a couple! How simple is that?! But no, things don't work that way. My dance team's team captain - Stacie - is his football team's team captain's ex. Is that simple enough? She doesn't allow us to date any guy in that football team. She said if she ever found out who is dating one of them, that person would be dismissed.

She doesn't allow me to date any guy, but she can't control my feelings for one of them. I have a biggest crush on one of the members, David Dobrik. I met him before we entered our club and I immediately fell in love with him. I only see him in drama class, but we barely talk. We don't want people to draw attention to us, especially when my drama class includes some of my mates in the dance team.

The problem is I don't know how he feels about me.

It's drama class and I walk in the room earlier than usual. A moment later I see him walks in the room too. He usually wears black from head to toe, but I guess today he changed his mind and wear a grey one.

"Ok people, gather around"

The bell rings and the lesson starts. I stand up and walk to my teacher's direction. Somehow, I can feel someone is standing really near to me. As we listen to our teacher I secretly turn to my left a bit and guess what? I can see David is right next to me. Suddenly, I can feel my cheeks are burning up and my palms get a bit sweaty.

"Ok. Now take your partner who is next yo you" My teacher demands, clapping her hands together.

I turn left.... nobody! Then turn to David awkwardly and see a cheeky smile appears on his face. I remain silence.

"I haven't seen you in a while" He says quietly.

I try to avoid his eyes and lightly nod.
"Here's your scripts. Practice together and at the end of the week, we'll pick out the best pair to perform for the school's play next month."
She hands me in two scripts and I give one to David. I sigh. I love acting, but what will Stacie say if my partner is him? We start practicing, saying our lines. To be honest, we work well together. The whole period I ignore every whisper and stare from the other girls. We have so much fun and that matters more.
It's the afternoon and I've finished all classes. Like always, I put my stuff into the locker, change into comfortable clothes and enter the gym room. Stacie's already here. I suddenly feel nervous and shyly say hi. I feel like I'm joining for the first day.
"Liza, I heard that you talked to one of the boys today" She says raising her eyebrows.
"Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose you know. I didn't want it to happen either"
"I hope so. Just remeber I'm watching you Liza" She says and walk away.
That's so creepy!
"Ok guys listen up. We're going to perform on the day there's a play for the school. I need you all to work hard. Is everybody here?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I go home and it's 5 PM. Everybody is home and when I say "everybody", I mean my mom and my little sister, Rachel. My dad is on a business trip and my big sister - Zoey is studying in college.
"I'm home" I say loudly from the doorway.
"Hi sweetheart!" My mom appears from the kitchen.
"Lizaaaa" My little sister runs out from the living and hugs me legs tightly.
"Rachel, let me take off my shoes first"
She lets me go and giggles
"You really need to take a shower"
"I know. I had dance practice today"
"So when are you performing?" My mom asks all the way from the kitchen.
"Next month! Will Dad be home at that time?"
"I guess so. It really depends on his work"
I sigh. I really hope he can be back at the time I perform.
"The water is ready for you upstairs. Take a shower so then we'll have dinner ok?!"
"Ok mom"
"But who's going play with me?"
"After dinner Rachel"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After having dinner, I was invited to Rachel's tea party.
She drags me upstairs. I open her door and she's already set it up. There's a small table in the middle of her room, her "guests" are already here.
"Welcome to my tea party" She chuckles
"It's really adorable Rachel. You did a really good job"
"Thank you"
Usually, Zoey was the one who spends a lot of time with Rachel, but now that she's away, it's me who play with her. Thank God I've finished my exams so I have plenty of freetime.
"Do you have a boyfriend Liza?" Rachel asks jokingly using one of her puppets with a funny accent.
"No...."I shake my head
"... Did Zoey ask you to ask me that?"
"Really?" She puts the puppet back to its seat and asks me, this time as herself. She ignores my question.
"Yeah"
"But why?"
"I don't need one"
"So have you ever met a prince?" The five-year-old asks me once again.
I blush as I instantly think of ... David. That's kinda creepy...
"Yes" I say simply, half smiling... smiling inside.
"Really when?" She screams excitedly.
"You don't need to know"
"Whyyyyy?" She whines
"Someday I'll tell you"
"Why do you say the exact same thing like mom"
"Can you please let me enjoy the tea" I guess that's the only way she'll stop asking question.
"Fine. Would you like some more?" She says in a British accent and giggles. She's so good at copying me.
"Yes please"

It's been a solid hour when I hear my mom's voice
"Rachel, it's bedtime"
"Oh men" She pouts
"It's ok. We'll continue tomorrow"
She and I put the table and the toys away before going to her bathroom so she can brush her teeth. After that, I tuck her in bed and not forget to kiss her forehead before turning out the light.
"Goodnight Rachel"
"Goodnight"
I close her door and walk back to my room. I look at the clock, it's 9 o' clock. I decide to practice my lines for the drama class before going to bed.
It's 10 PM. Guess I'm going to bed early today. After brushing my teeth, I flop into my bed and pull out my phone like always. As I was checking Instagram, I received a message from ..... David?! It's been a long time since he messaged me.
David: Have you practiced yet?
Liza: Yeah. Is there anything?
David: Nah just checking if my partner is practicing
"My partner"???
Liza: haha don't worry about me
........
David: Ok well it's late. Get some sleep
Since when he cared so much about me?
Liza: I will. You too
David: Goodnight
Liza: good night.
I turn off the lamp on my nightstand and snuggle in bed, slowly fall asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's Friday which means we have drama class today. David and I barely practiced together, although we're allowed to use that classroom at any time. We don't see each other mostly because of the reason I told you ealier.
The bell rings and I run back to the classroom after having to go back to my locker cause I forgot my script. A minute later David walks in and he immediatly turns to my direction.
"You ready?" He smiles
"I mean we haven't practiced together but I'm fine"
"Cool"
"Ok class, like I said on Monday, today we will pick out two students to be the main roles of the play next month. I'll go with the list, aye?!"
After all of our turns, she says she would announce the two roles on Monday. The bell rings and we walk out the door. David keeps up me, he pats my shoulder the moment he walks away:
"You did great Liza"
I smile escapes my lips as my cheeks turn red.
