Our class had to perform a play, and since I was good with acting, everyone pointed their fingers at me, I didn't mind playing roles but I hope it ain't a "princess for the prince" type because I'm gay as fu--

Anyway, they decided to change some things in the story line. Jia, who is my senior and bestfriend, who also happens to be the play's writer, practically drooling with a glint on her eyes. Oh gosh. I already knew what she was going to do.

And I was right. She made the protagonists, drum roll please. Lesbians. I had no problem with that but, she has always knew my crush with Deanna.

I secretly gave my friend a stern glare, this girl is seriously delusional. She knew, I knew, heck everyone knows that Deanna is straight.

After the arrangements, we started rehearsals. It was awkward for both of us, mostly me but as hours, days passed, I decided to why not let go and finally let myself to like the princess that I'm supposed to save from the witch's hands. Just this time, secretly and unknown by everyone.

The way she say her lines were magical, how much power, emotions she holds. It almost feels like she was actually saying the words to me. I would often find myself spaced out whenever we take a break. Thinking how much I'm falling for her.

Her consciousness with her surrounding always amazes me, how she would ask if people need help with something, offering some of her food to staffs that were not eating, probably talking about the props and everything, she was like the angel of the class. And she is. In my head, she was my angel. The one who saved me a lot of times from trouble, the one who inspired me to pursue my goals.

The day of the play officially came, everyone was nervous yet excited, we all poured our effort for this and we will slay. All those long hour rehearsals wouldn't go to waste.

I couldn't stop staring at her when we were performing, she looked absolutely wonderful. Her gown suited her so much, like she was a real life princess, fresh out of a fairy tale book. My eyes stung a bit as my sight blurred out a little. Tears were forming, getting ready to fall anytime from now. How could I deserve this magneficent human? Standing right infront of me, holding my hand.

After the curtains fell down, the magic wore off. We all changed into our casual clothes and congratulated each other for the play's success.

"You're really good at acting you know? You should go to an art school for college. Don't forget about us when you get famous, okay?" She jokingly winked. I just gave her a small smile. She waved her hand as she rushed through the exit. Hugging her boyfriend, they left in a car.

"And I'm good at hiding my feelings for the princess too." I sighed as I went home. Like nothing happened. But at least, I had my happily ever after even if it was only in the play. Even if she was just pretending.
