The It Boy

El Who?

     I awoke smiling still thinking about everything the dance, the whole last day, the kiss. I know it wasn't our first kiss but it was our first kiss as me with out a mask and him knowing it was me. I decided I would go to school early so I picked myself up out of bed trowing on my jeans and a plain shirt. Rushing down the stairs I scoop up my white converse slipping them on I headed into my car. Buckling my seat belt my thoughts cleared and I finally calmed about all the events. That didn't keep me from having my huge smile. Before I knew it I was at the school. I had quite a while before school started so I decided I would head to the practice rooms to sing a bit before school officially started for the day. There was only a couple people in the halls this morning so I wasn't that worried about people hearing me since the practice room is in the way back of the school. I guess I was wrong about that because within minutes of me singing the door opened. I rushed behind a huge sound board hoping not to be seen.

"Hello? A voice I recognized asked

The voice continued to talk as I continued to hide. 

"Sorry to interrupted but If I'm right about what I'm thinking your the girl I danced with at the dance." 

"Oh really, you think you remember me? I asked teasingly 

"Oh yes, how could I forget an amazing singer and dance." he stated 

"What if your wrong? I asked

"I wouldn't know what to say, I feel like I would know the girl I like." he stated

"oh, you like me? "You know I wasn't your date for the dance right? I asked sarcasticly

"Yes, I like you a lot." "Of course I know, my date isn't like you."  

"You know Eric, the whole point of the dance was to find your partner." I stated boldly

"I know. I found you didn't I? he asked

"I suppose you did." I said 

*ring ring*

"Shouldn't you get to class? I asked still hiding

"I suppose I should, are you preforming in the talent show tonight? "I would like to finally meet my masked singer." 

"Maybe I will, but you'll be disappointed." I stated

"I think your wrong about that El."

"Maybe I am."

"Well goodbye then, I'll hopefully see you in the talent show." 

I stayed hidden until I heard the door shut, I released a breath of relief. Eric didn't find out it was me thankfully. Saved by the bell is real. 

The school day passed and lunch came up. I did my normal routine of getting lunch and heading to my tree. But today was a little different on my way out the speakers came on and an announcer started talking. The room went quiet with some whispers coming and going.

"Hello, sorry for this interruption everyone but Eric has requested that his masked singer end our talent show today. So masked singer be ready and everyone else come see who she is."

The speakers go off and the room fills back up with voices all of them talking about the talent show. I was shocked he requested I sang, I don't sing in front of people. Also I don't want him to know but the biggest thing is I don't sing in front of people. Specially if everyone is going to be there. I had to come up with something, a way to no do it or to say no without him knowing it was me. What was I going to do? I took out my notebook writing down some ideas of what to do. 

Idea 1: Go up to Eric say that you were told by the mask singer she can't sing in front of everyone.

Idea 2: Don't show up, he'll just be disappointed either way so.

Idea 3:Tell him everything!

     All these ideas were bad I can't do number one he'll ask me who she is, I can't do two either he won't give up. If I told him everything he would hate me but If I didn't he would go crazy. There was only one thing to do. I had to tell him we were friends he would understand. I sat still just thinking about what to say until I decided I should finally tell him. I pushed myself up heading towards where he usually sat at lunch but he was no where to be found. I began running around trying to find him but no hope. He just disappeared no one saw him or heard where he was. He just was gone the time I needed to talk to him he was no where to be found. Great. The only thing that came to mind was to do was tell him in class, which was worst because he can't react the way he will in front of everyone. Ugh I have to, It just has to be done. I sat until the bell rang hoping he'd show up soon he didn't I grabbed my stuff for class and sat waiting there. Minutes passed and still no Eric. I began getting questionable about where he was. The class ended and there was no sign of him. The only other thing I could do was go to the talent show and sing. I guess it time to head home and get ready for the talent show.

ugh......this was going to be something else.
