Chapter two: I might wrote the entirety if bmp like this Idk school is stress. Thanks for reading?.
...
Jeremy hesitantly walked into the school theatre. Only one person was in the theatre. Did he go to the wrong place? Where was Michael? "is this where play rehearsal meets?"
"No. This is where swim team meets." The girl responded with a dry tone.
"Oh," Jeremy sighed and started to walk away.
"I'm just kidding," the girl chuckled as Jeremy Sat back down, "so, you must be a virgin?"
"WhaT?!" Jeremy's heart sped up. She didn't know about him and michael, did she?
"First play rehearsal?" She teased, "you're so nervous."
"Yeah," he let out a sigh of relief, "I'm totally nervous for play rehearsals."
"Don't be. I love play rehearsal," the girl started to say, "because it's the best, because it is fun."
Jeremy nodded, feeling a little bit of stress be relieved. After all, he really wanted to join the school play, but where was Michael?
The girl went on a long rant about how much she loved play rehearsal. A really long rant, and Jeremy tuned most of it out.
After the girl stopped talking, Jeremy smiled, "Yeah, I'm excited."
"Hi excited, I'm Christine." The girl, Christine, laughed.
"Jeremy," Jeremy said, hoping that it wasn't as awkward as he felt.
"So, why did you decide to sigh up?"
"Oh, I've always loved theatre, but I'm afraid of speaking in front of people. My best friend pushed me yo join, but never actually showed up today..." Jeremy add libbed, excluding the part about signing up because they were gay.
"Maybe he had something else to do."
"Maybe," Jeremy frowned.
"Well, I can be your best friend for today. Are you ready to be introduced to theatre?"
"I don't really kno-" michael was interrupted by the directors voice.
"Oh thank God, the popular kids are here."
As Jeremy looked around, he didn't see what he wanted. Sure enough, the seats filled up with jocks and cheerleaders... but no Michael.
Whatever. It was fine. They had been separate before. Jed could handle this. It wasn't like Michael completely bailed on him. He probably had some important family shit.
Besides, Christine was nice and he did want to be an actor.
It would've been a little easier if Michael had been there, but Jeremy could manage... if only he wasn't so awkward around the popular crowd.
Every time he spoke, it was disjointed and stuttery. He felt himself space out more, to the point that he had no idea what anyone was saying or doing. By the time a hot pocket break had been called, Jeremy ran to the bathroom. He splashed some water in his face to clear his head.
If Rich hadn't chosen that exact moment to go pee, maybe nothing would've gone wrong.
