(Anthony's POV)

I held out my hand for her to hold. She hesitated, should I not of done that, am I rushing it?
She then grabbed my hand. I smiled being relived, "shall we?"
"We shall."
We walked out of her room as we headed to the stage. "Anthony?" Y/N asked softly, I could tell she was nervous by the sound of her voice. "Yes?"
"We're you nervous when it was your first day?" She asked looking up at me, she was holding my hand tighter. "Of course I was. Everyone's nervous on there first day." I said trying to comfort her. She nodded her head slowly. I stopped walking and put my hand on her shoulder "Hey it's going to be okay, there's nothing to worry about, Your going to be great. It's just rehearsal." I smiled trying to make her satisfied.
"It's just I have really bad anxiety, I'm scared." She whispered weakly. I thought she was going to start crying. "It's okay Y/N, everyone here is very supportive, they will understand, there's nothing to worry about." I told her. She looked up at me. Her frowned slowly turned into a smile. I smiled back at her. "Thank you John Laurens." She said hugging me. It felt really nice as hugged her back.  We were both in costume. "Of course Eliza Schuyler."
We continued walking to the stage. Everyone was waiting for us.
"Finally you two are here." Jonathan said Jokingly.
"Y/N it's not good to be late for your first rehearsal" Lin said sternly.
I sighed and looked at Y/N asking for approval to see if I can tell them. She nodded and I smiled.
"We're sorry Lin, Y/N as anxiety, just like a lot of you guys, so I had to talk to her for a second." I turned back to Y/N, she was smiling, I smiled back at her.
"I'm sorry Y/N I didn't know." Lin said apologetically
"It's totally okay, I'm just glad you guys know." Y/N said with a smile.
"Alright shall we get to it?" Lin said standing up.

(Time Skip [After rehearsal])

(Y/N POV)
Rehearsal went really well everyone was really supportive and nice, just like Anthony said.  I started heading to my dressing room "Hey Y/N wait up!" I turned around to see Daveed  "Oh hey Daveed, what's up?" I asked as I kept walking, he followed behind "I was wondering if you wanted to go out with the whole cast for some drinks? Everyone will be there." He said with a small smile on his face.
"Of course! That would be so much fun!"
"Great see you then!" He said turning around to his dressing room.
"Wait, Daveed... Can you do me a favor?"
He turned around back to me. "Yeah what's up?"
"Can you help me out of this dress I don't know how to do it." I chuckled nervously.
Daveed blushed lightly. "Oh um, yeah sure." He walked into my dressing room, I turned around for him, he started untying the back of the dress. He cleared his throat as it was awkward silence "I just wanted to say Y/N, you were really good for your first day!" Daveed said as he finished untying my dress. I smiled "Thank you! Your not bad yourself, even though you've been doing it for like 3 years." 
He chuckles "I'm flattered." He said.
"Alright I'm gonna go get ready for tonight." Daveed said as he went to his dressing room.
I smiled looking at myself in the mirror. I took of the rest of my dress and got into my regular clothes.
I got another knock on the door.  "Come in!" It was Anthony
"Hey Y/N, I was wondering if your coming tonight?" Anthony asked as he slowly walked in.
"Oh yeah! Are you?" I asked, and he nodded.
"How far away is it?" I asked
Anthony shrugged  "I think by car it's 10 minutes."

I groaned  "Can I ride with you? I walked here earlier, so I don't have a car."
Anthony smiled  "Yeah Sure! Are you ready now? We can go now if your ready." Anthony asked.
I smiled and nodded
"Great let's go!" He had a smile ear to ear
I have to admit, I did think Anthony was kinda cute.
Me and Anthony started to walk to the exit.
"Hey Y/N! I can drive you if you want!" I heard someone shout. I turned around and saw Daveed catching up to me.
"Oh, I was actually going to ride with Anthony." I said in a soft tone.
Daveed looked down "Oh okay, well I guess I'll see you guys there."
"See ya!"

Me and Anthony got in the car.  We were both quiet as the radio was playing. One of the songs sounded familiar. I look down to see who it was, the screen said;

Auntie's Basement
By: Anthony Ramos

My face lit up.  "Oh my god! This is your song!" I smiled looking up at him.
It was pretty dark out but I could see his face get a little red.  He tried to change the station but I slapped his hand back
"OW!" He shouted.
I laughed as I looked at him "I wanna listen to it!"
Once the song was over I was in shock.
"Anthony! It's really good!"
His face got redder I could tell.
"Thank you Y/N, I appreciate it. "
"Do you have anymore songs?"
Anthony was quiet.
"Do you?!"
He slowly nodded his head.
"Oh! I wanna hear!"
He chuckled "We can listen to it later, besides we're here."
I looked out the window and saw some of the cast members already standing out. I saw Daveed talking to Oak, I smiled when I looked at him
I got out of the car and so did Anthony.
I walked inside with Anthony.  "Do you want anything to drink?" Anthony asked me
I smiled "Yeah could you get me a water?"
"What?! Your not gonna get like a beer or something?!" Anthony asked me in shock.
I sighed "fine can you get me a beer?"
"Does it matter what kind?"
I shook my head as Anthony ran up to the bar. I was looking around the bar to see people dancing on the dance floor, I smiled as music was playing.
"Hey Y/N, there you are!" I turned around to see Daveed "Oh Daveed!" I smiled "Have you gotten anything to drink?" He asked me.
I nodded "Yeah Anthony, went to go get me something to drink."
Daveed's smile slowly went to a frown. He looked around "Would you care to dance?" He asked me as he held out his hand. I grabbed it. "Sure Let's go!" I smiled as we headed to the dance floor.  "Wait, I'm going to request a song." I walked up to the Dj and asked him to play Auntie's Basement.
