"Are you even listening to me?" Natalie asks, watching as my thumbs tap away at the screen.

"No. I'm sorry, Nat. But me and Daniel have been texting for like 3 hours now and he is just so funny!" I smile. She rolls her eyes at me.

"Love struck," She says through a fake cough. I roll my eyes at her.

"I barely know the guy," I protest.

"But you are totally hoping he'll ask you to Hoco?" She asks. I shrug.

"As I said before, we barely know each other and Homecoming is in like 2 weeks," I sigh.

"So you have 2 weeks to get to know each other," She smiles.

"Oh Natalie, so much hope so little reason," I laugh. She rolls her eyes at my comment. 

"Can we practice for the play now?" She asks. I nod.

"What part are you going for?" She asks me.

"Elle," I tell her. It was a big shot, shy girl as the lead. But I'm pretty confident I could do it. 

"You'd make a good blonde," She smiles. "But the real question is: will you be able to sing in front of everyone?" She asks. 

"I think so. I mean, you always say I'm really good and I'm confident," I tell her. She nods.

"I'm glad. I'm probably try out for Paulette than so I could be your best friend," She smiles. I nod and pull out the audition sample for 'Legally Blonde'. 

We're about to start practicing when my phone buzzes again.

Daniel: Been thinking about trying out for Emmett in the play. Opinion?

Tanner: I'm trying out for Elle, lol. You should go for it! I'd love to work with you.

Daniel: I'll pick up the audition sample tomorrow. Thanks!

"Daniel's gonna try out for Emmett," I whisper. Natalie smiles at me.

"There's a kiss between Elle and Emmett," She smiles. I nod.

"I know," I tell her.

Me and Daniel kissing? In front of the whole school? Is that even a good idea?
