She Will Be Loved

Chapter 34: Practice

We have been practicing for 2 weeks and not to brag we actually killed it. Though, I still feel nervous and uncomfortable about this whole thing. I wanted to back out the first time we practiced but all Hanna kept saying was it was already too late.

"This thing is exhausting." I said laying on the floor with arms and legs sprawl out.

"Here." Leslie handing me a towel to wipe my sweat off.  "But I must say we are doing better than I expected." She says happily.

"Yeah, I second that." Hanna said before chugging his her water down. "Before I forget. I ask Dean to bring us the costume I've been working on."

"I'm excited. I wonder if we'd look so hot and in it." Leslie said clapping as she sit down on the floor beside me.

The door to the theater open. Lucas and Dean entered, they brought the costume and pizza for snacks.

"Great, I'm starving." I sat up and immediately snatch the pizza out of Lucas's grip.

"Hey! Slow down." He comments as I quickly open the box and devour a slice. I let out a moan as the taste of the pizza delights me.

"Why are you even here?" I ask Lucas with my mouth still stuff with the pizza I'm eating.

"Ran into Dean after practice and he told me that you were practicing here. I invited myself." He answers. "I bought you the snacks, because I know you'll wolf out at me coming empty handed."

"Good to know that you have a brain." I retorted as I took yet another slice.

"How's the practice going?" Dean ask.

"Good. We are finished with the whole choreography and mostly everything really." Hanna said sorting the costume Dean brought. "Hand this to Ellie."She gave Dean a red costume, which he quickly gave to me. "And this one is for you." She hands another one to Leslie.

"Wow, this is a work of art." Leslie said as she scan the costume.

"Don't flutter me too much." Hanna covers her lips with a cocky smile. Hanna loves compliment and clearly has deserves them, she's really good when it come to tailoring.

I pulled the costume out of the dress bag. I was shock on how it was revealing way too much skin that I would like. "Hanna, I think mine lacks a lot of cloth."

She burst out laughing like what I said was funny. "Don't be silly. It has enough."

"Are you sure?" I look at it with uneasiness.

"Absolutely and I think you'll look hot in it." She winks at me.

"Why don't you try it. I'll rate it on you, I have a high standard when it comes to girls hotness." Lucas wiggles his brow at me. This guy has the most perverted mind I've ever known.

"Not happening." I roll my eyes at him.

"Uh, you're breaking my heart Ellie." He acts like he's hurting.

"I don't mind." I told him.

"Hey man! Don't don't you tell them about the party." Dean said making Lucas remembered.

"Yeah, thanks for reminding me." Lucas snap his fingers. "I'm throwing a party tomorrow and you all are invited." He emphasizes the word all as he looks at me.

"I'm so down with that." Leslie said excitedly. "Can I bring my boyfriend along? He's from a different school though." She ask Lucas.

"Sure, no problem." Lucas nodded, making her more happy.

"I didn't know you were dating someone." I said eyeing Leslie. She only shrug her shoulders giggling. "So, I'll be the only one with no date." I said frowning.
