"And cut," Steven called as Munro and I completed our final scene for the day, "you guys were great, I always wonder how you have such great chemistry," Steven commented as we were walking off set. Everyone always wonders how we have such great chemistry, but we usually brush I off as having known each other for so long, but the thing is, that isn't 100% true for me. You see, I may have an itty bitty crush on Munro. I know it is stupid, he is 22 for goodness sake and I am only 18, there is no way that he would like me like that.
"Hey Ais," I heard Munro call after me, "did you hear about the party at Alicia's?" He asked as I turned around to face him.
"Hey, yeah, it's tonight right?" I reply. Of course I knew about Alicia's party, she is one of my beat friends.
"Yeah," Munro replied, "so I'll see you there?"
"Guess you will," I reply as I walk off smirking. I was excited to go to Alicia's party, but know I had a dilemma, what was I meant to wear? It sounded like Munro was looking forward to seeing me, but, no. I can't think like that. He thinks of me as a best friend, of course he wants to see his friend there.
I decided to give Alicia a call to see if I could go over there to get ready. I got out my phone and dialled her number. On the third ring she picked up, "Hello? Ais?" I hear on the other end of the phone.
"Hey Alicia, I was wondering if I could come over to yours to get ready tonight?" I ask.
"Sure," I hear her reply, "Chloe and Jordy are heading over now since you and Munro has the last shot for the day."
"Thanks Alicia, I am on my way," I tell her before closing my phone and heading to the car park.
Munro's POV
"Hey Justin, I need your help," I say into my phone as I fall onto my bed thinking about the party tonight.
"Well, well, well, the mighty Munro Chambers needs my help? To what do I owe the honour?" I hear him reply, "Finally going to tell Aislinn that you are in love with her?"
Damn you Kelly. "I called for you help, not for you to act like an idiot," I say, "so are you going to help me or not?" I asked frustrated, why is this guy my best friend?
"Sorry man, look I'll help you with Ais, even though you don't need it, everyone can see that she likes you," he say. I have been hearing this from him for months, but it isn't true. Aislinn thinks of me as a best friend, she doesn't like me like that.
"Yeah right, so are you going to come over and help me?" I ask, sighing at his comment.
"I'm on my way bro, though you have nothing to worry about," he tells me, "I'll be there soon."
"Yeah, whatever, hurry up," I tell him before ending the call.
The problem is that I have liked Aislinn since I started on Degrassi. The problem was that it was slightly illegal for me to go out with her, so I held off. I ended up holding off so long that I am pretty sure that I am friendzoned, but Justin has been bugging me to tell her. Even though I don't see the point in it, I have decided to tell her, tonight. At Alicia's party. I just hope she doesn't hate me afterwards.
Aislinn's POV
"Do I look okay in this?" I ask the girls, "is it too, simple?"
We are getting ready at Alicia's for the party since no one has to work tomorrow. The thing is, I can't get the idea of Munro possible being excited to see me out of my head and I really want to look good for him. Stupid, I know.
"Wow Ais," I hear Chloe call, "who are you trying to impress?"
"What? I am not trying to impress anyone, I just want to look nice," I quickly reply before pretending to search for something important as I feel a blush creep up my cheeks.
"Yeah right Ais," Jordy say, "you are blushing, who is it?"
"Yeah, come one Ais," I heard Alicia pipe in, "you know we will find out eventually."
"Is it Justin?" Chloe asks.
"AJ? Luke? Demetrius? Munro?" Alicia asks.
I can't hide the blush on my face as I hear his name. "Munro!" Jordy screams before rushing over to hug me, "I knew it! That is why you guys are so good together on screen!"
"Okay, Okay. Yes, I like Munro, but that doesn't mean anything. He thinks of me like a best friend, nothing more," I tell them while turning away.
"Oh Ais," I heard Chloe call as she comes and wraps her arms around me, "Munro must be stupid to turn you down tonight looking like that."
"Come on," Alicia says while turning me around, "everyone is about to start arriving and you need to be down there when Munro arrives." I nod my head as they lead me down the stairs from Alicia's room. I hope they are right.
Munro's POV
Justin and I arrive at Alicia's and all of a sudden I get nervous. As if he can sense it, Justin turns to me, "calm down bro," he tells me, "you just have to go in there, find Aislinn and tell her how you feel." Easier said than done I think, "Dude," he says pulling me out of my thoughts, "Ais likes you, everything is going to be fine."
I take a deep breath and turn to him, "thanks man," I tell him, "for convincing me to do this. I need to know for once and for all if we have a shot."
With that, we get out of the car and head into the party.
Aislinn's POV
People started arriving nearly 20 minutes ago and I have yet to see any sign of Munro. When I finally think I see him, I hear a voice behind me, "now Miss Paul, I feel hurt that you have yet to say hello."
That voice, I know that voice. That is the voice I haven't heard since we got back from Ghana. I turn around as fast as I can and see the face I knew I would see, "Sam!" I scream while jumping into my arms. It has been strange on set without Sam, even though we didn't get along as well when K.C and Clare were together, it seems like as soon as they ended, we became best friends. "I can't believe you are here!" I say as he swings me around before planting me on the ground again.
"Well believe it Ais," he says, "it is good to see you."
"It's good to see you too," I tell him.
"So I talked to Alicia," he starts, oh no, "you need to tell him Ais! Munro is crazy for you!"
What?! Munro and Sam weren't super close, but they were friends and he would know how he liked. Then it clicked. I had seen him and Justin come in the door just before Sam surprised me.
"I need to go find him," I tell Sam, "I'll find you later?"
"Go Ais," he tells me, "come back once you two are official."
And with that I run off to find Munro.
Munro's POV
I see Aislinn as soon as I walk in the house. She looks so beautiful with her hair down in curls and a long sleeve burgundy dress on. I am about to walk up to her when I see her jumping into Sam's arms while he twirls her around. The smile on her face says enough for me. Justin was wrong. Of course Ais likes Sam, they have been working together longer than us. I turn around and go search for a drink. I arrive at the kitchen and find a can of beer. After chugging it down, I decide to go and find Justin and tell him about Aislinn.
I reach a corridor with no one in it so I turn around. What I didn't expect to see was Annie right behind me in very revealing clothes, leaning against the wall. "Hey Munro," she says, "looks like you aren't having such a great night."
"Not really," I reply as she steps closer to me, grazing her fingers over the collar of my shirt.
"That's too bad," she says, "hopefully I can make it better."
Before I can comprehend what she said, her mouth is covering mine and I am pressed back against the wall with her flush against me. She is clawing at my hair, trying to get me to respond, but I can't. I love Aislinn and even though she is with Sam, I can't do this. Just as I am about to push Annie off, I hear it.
"Munro?" I hear a teary eyed Aislinn say. Before I could push Annie off me and go to her, she is already gone.
What have I done?
