I smiled as the boy left the room, though it was instantly wiped off when I turned around. Collin stood in front of me with his arms crossed.

"What was he doing In here?" Collin asked. Seriously can't he just mind his own business!?

"What's it to you?" I walked around him to my dresser so I could get this make up off. I wasn't going to make Collin leave, it'll just result in me wasting breath.

You see Collin was the owners son which means he basically has a key to every room including my dressing room which was completely unnecessary but hey I can't do anything about it.

"You were amazing tonight." I rolled my eyes, it was always the same. He walked behind me, putting his hands on my shoulders. He squeezed slightly. And even though it did put some relief in my aching shoulders, I shrugged him off.

For some reason Collin has this thought in his head that me and him are going to get married. It was a rumour going around the whole theatre, though it isn't true. Yes, he's extremely attractive. Yes he's extremely rich but, he has the personality of a stereotypical rich boy.

I turned around to face Collin "what exactly do you want?"

"Something you won't give to me but I also brought flowers." I looked around confused, he hadn't brought any. "They're in my room."

"Listen Collin, I don't know how many times I have to tell you this but nothing is going to happen between us. So can you please leave me to get changed." I spoke the first bit slowly.

He nodded his head and backed out of the room "don't worry princess, you'll be mine soon enough."

With that he left and shut the door, while I stood and shivered in disgust. 'Princess' he had the nerve to call me a female title. I find that pretty offensive. Like okay, I get that I'm a tad feminine but it comes with being actor in a theatre. So it's not exactly my fault.

I lied down on the sofa in my dressing room, staring at the ceiling. My mind instantly going to that boy. I didn't even get his name. I've heard it being thrown around so I know it begin with T but I can't exactly remember his name.

Heh, he looked so scared to talk to me, bless him. I do have a habit of intimidating the workers here, especially when I'm in costume. Something about high status. I guess that's why everyone thinks I'm going to marry Collin.

Anyway, the boy intrigues me. His unusual eyes, his small height and his timid, awkward nature. When Jason tried to molest him earlier, it annoyed me that he would go for someone a lot smaller than himself. That small one being that boy.

I had seen the boy hanging around places and being with Edd and Matt a lot. I have also caught him staring at me when I'm practising. There's no doubt he has a crush on me.

It's really cute he has a crush on me, I mean he is cute himself but this is the first time I'm properly noticing him and speaking to him. I can't say I have any sort of feelings for him.

I'm pretty exhausted. So I got changed and made my way to my room. Yes I have a room in the theatre as do many employees do.

The boy came into my dreams again and I knew that tomorrow I had to ask for his name.

I don't know what it is with people today but everything was going wrong! Dancers bumping into each other, props falling and even the curtains closed at one point. It was seriously annoying.

"Take 5 everyone." The choreographer called out. I sighed in relief and sat at the edge of the stage. I took the head dress that I was wearing off my head and ran a hand through my horned hair, then down my face.

"Rough day?" The sweet voice called out. I looked down and saw the boy stood with a bag in his hands.

"Ugh you have no idea." He chuckled quietly "hey, i didn't catch your name!"

He looked up smugly "I didn't throw it." It was my turn to chuckle this time "Its Thomas. But you can call me Tom."

"Okay Tom. Are you coming to my dressing room after the show tonight?" I looked down at him hopefully. I wanted to get to know him more.

"Sure, I mean if I'm not going to get in the way?"

I waved him off "sure you're not! Just go straight there. You don't have to wait on me, it'll already be open"

"Well okay then."

As if on cue, the choreographer called us back into positions and I said a quick goodbye to Tom as we both carried on. Him cleaning and me rehearsing.

I was looking forward to after the show.
