Love Is Just An Act for Rivals

Chapter 6

Molly's POV

The time for the show was creeping up close. The Starkids thought it was funny seeing us all stressed out. They still had a few weeks until their performance. It was late one night and I was working on costumes. I couldn't get one of the outfits to sit properly around the waist and it was driving my crazy. I sighed angrily and threw my sowing kit across the room.

"Forget it" I muttered.

I left the room and went on a search for a piano. Playing music relaxed me and I also needed to tweak a few things in the finale. I found a music room which held my favourite piano. It was in good condition and gave off a fantastic melody. I closed the door, dropped my bag and sat down in front of it. I started to play the finale and got lost in the music. I closed my eyes and let myself get into the music. I played the last few notes and I heard clapping from the door. My head spun to the door where Darren was standing.

"Here to make more judgements on my music?" I questioned angrily.

"No. It was actually good" he said.

"Thanks" I muttered.

"But do you know what would make it great? If you used more major chords"

He came and sat down at the piano and started to change my music.

"I don't need your help!" I said.

I tried to take up most of the stool so he would move but he wouldn't budge.

"I'm just trying to be nice"

"Nice or annoying"

He chuckled and smiled at me.

"Ok I'll leave if you ask me too. And you have to use my name"

He smirked at me and I just sighed.

"Blaine, please go away"

"Blaine! Seriously! That's not my real name" he seemed a tad hurt but I thought it was funny.

"Darren, I'm very busy can you please just go"

"I think you want me to leave because you know I am a better piano player than you!"

"Okay 1: that made no sense and 2: I am much better than you"

"Well let's find out then" he grinned and budged over a bit and started to play the piano.

The next half hour was spent having a piano playing battle with Darren. I had obviously won but he refused to accept it. I looked at the time and bit my lip.

"Well this was fun but you distracted me from my work and it's getting late. I should really go home"

I grabbed my bag and was about to leave the room when Darren called me back.

"We should do this again sometime, Bobby"

"My character is called Bobby, my name is Molly"

"I know. I just wanted some revenge"

I rolled my eyes.

"Goodbye Darren" I droned

"Wait Molly! It's late, I stay not to far from here. Why don't you just come to my place?"

I went a completely red in the face.

"No thanks" I gulped.

"Hey maybe some other time" he gave me a small wink and I practically ran out the room.
