a kiss is just a kiss

001

we were currently spending our free period in the auditorium because me and my friends were "actors." luke, valerie and nailea aren't really into acting but they do it as a joke every now and then but me on the other hand, i love acting. i've always wanted to become a big time actress in the industry, i've always wanted to be apart of a family and create amazing memories on set.

luke is the skater, valerie is the photographer, nailea is the comedian and i was the actress although we all did skate a bit but not as much as luke.

"oh romeo, oh romeo, wherefore art thou romeo?" valerie exclaimed while moving around the stage dramatically.

"right here, dumbass." he waved his hand in valerie's face.

"LUKE!" i yelled.

"what now?" he retorted.

"you know damn well those arent the lines," i told him.

me and nailea were in the audience seats watching valerie and luke goof around.

"they're so in love with each other," i whisper to nailea.

"oh for sure," she replies. "oi lovebirds, GET A ROOM WILL YA?" nailea and i burst out laughing our asses off while luke and valerie flip us off. at this point they were sick of us because we were constantly teasing the pair but in all seriousness they were destined to end up with each other at some point.

*bell rings*

"okay well ill see you two lovebirds later." she shot valerie and luke a look. "valerie. luke. no funny business," nailea announces. they roll their eyes and leave the auditorium.

"okay nai, we should probably get to chemistry." we rushed out of the auditorium and head to chemistry. nailea and i walked over to our usual seats which were located at the back of the class and sat down. we started goofing around to entertain the class when the teacher walked through with a student i didn't recognise.

"everyone, this is our new student louis partidge. make him feel welcome everyone and since you two back there keep messing around, louis here can join you." our teacher looks right at nai and me and we both sunk into our seats. louis walked over to the chair next to nailea and sat down.

"hi i'm nailea hendrix and this is my friend nova montoya." i look over at him and give him an awkward smile and wave. damn he's cute.

"hi..you obviously know who i am but just incase you forgot. i'm louis partridge." damn he was cute and british. no. you can't get distracted by boys this year because you know how well that worked out for you last time. he sticks his hand out for nailea and she shakes it. for the rest of the class we sit there in silence and waited for the class to end.

*bell rings again*

"see you around mr louis partridge," i say in a very bad british accent and walk off with nailea to meet up with valerie and luke.

"hey losers. how was english?" i asked the pair.

"it was extremely boring, never let me go there ever again," luke explains. i gave him a sarcastic pat on the back and we went off to the basketball courts for our lunch break.

"you won't believe who we saw in class today," nailea says out of the blue.

"who?," valerie asks.

*time skip to the end of school*

"see y'all later, i'm gonna practise some dialogue for the auditions. if there are even any auditions." i tell the others.

"come on nova. you don't even know if there even is a play this year and you still wanna practise. let's just go hang out loser," luke begs.

"can't. i've always gotta be prepared. sorry guys but you know how much acting means to me." i answer.

"it's totally fine, we're hanging out tomorrow though and you can't cancel." valerie says sternly. thank god that valerie understands.

"but its not- ow!!!" luke exclaims. valerie had punched luke in the arm. "okay fine we'll see you tomorrow," he finishes. i gave valerie a 'thank you so much and i owe you' look and went off to the auditorium to practise.

i walked in and set my bag down on one of the chairs. i walked onto the stage and started reading some of the lines aloud. i heard the door open and then slam shut.

"uh, who's there?" i say while grabbing a nearby prop as my protection. i could sense them getting closer and so i started swinging the umbrella and i think i got them pretty well.

"it's just me!! it's just louis partridge." i hear.
