Disclaimer: Me no own these two. Only my ideas and my brain. I don't own the lyrics either!
A/N: So wassup guys! Here is the third installment of A Mid-Summer Night's Dream. I hope you like it. Important announcement at the end. For now, Enjoy!
Evan's POV
God I always hate walking through the busy halls of my school. Too many kids not knowing what their next class. Too many people to bump in. Just too many people in general. I always had to avoid big groups so they wouldn't trample over me. It was very annoying.
Being so small does have it's advantages though. I can hide easily, I can fit between tight spaces, I move really fast. Just then somebody bumped into me and I fell over. I land on my back and my head hits the ground.
I look up and rub my head, "Oh sorry! I didn't mean to…." but I stop in mid sentence and sit up, realizing who I ran into.
Randy's POV
I was in awe after watching Evan's performance. I was thinking about how his body moved with the music for the entire duration of the hour. All I did was rest my chin in the palm of my hand and stare at the board, nodding every now and then to look as if I were paying attention to Mr. Lawler's lecture on how important the positioning in the Civil War was at Gettysburg.
I think John threw a paper wad at me to get my intention, but I was completely in another world. Then he started poking me in the arm, and then he waved his hand in front of me. I swatted away his hand re-entered my day dream.
Eventually, the bell rang and I hooked my arm around my stuff and wandered into the halls. Being one of the tallest kids in the school had its advantages. I could see over people, know where I'm going, and *Crash!*
I suddenly find myself off balance and land on my ass. My homework and book land on the tiled floor. A lot of kids stop and watch, knowing my reputation whenever someone bumps into me. Anger began to flare in my head. Whoever ran me over ruined my happy mood!
I angrily lash out, "HEY WATCH IT!" The fallen figure cringes at my hoarse voice. Suddenly I recognize the kid. It was Evan.
I watch as he apologizes again and cringe again, covering his face instantly, waiting for me to punch him.
"Oh, sorry Evan. I didn't see you there." I quickly apologize with a much kinder voice. Evan looks up and fake smiles, "I thought you were gonna punch me there for a second."
I frown, "Yeah, I almost did." I pick myself up and kneel down to pick up my books and homework." Evan scrambles up and helps me pick up my…our mess. I reach for my last paper, but Evan reaches too.
I accidentally grab his hand and hold it there for a second. I gasp as a jolt of electricity jolts up my nerves. Evan gasps too and I slowly look at him, his eyes locked with mine. I stare into his chocolate colored eyes. They were amazing to look in.
His cheeks tint a light pink. I watch his eyes fill with nervousness and worry. He pulls his hand back, stand back up, hands me my stuff. He picks up his music folio and glances away.
I thank him but, he avoids eye contact and without a word, walks away. I stand there confused. Did I do something wrong?
Evan's POV
After school, I drove over to Ted's house. Of course, Cody is there too. Today was one of my rare days without extracurricular. I tell them about how my encounters with Randy. We're sitting in Ted's living room hanging out. I was on my laptop searching up lyrics to a new song while Cody was munching on low fat popcorn the entire time.
"And you just walk away!" Cody exclaimed.
I shrug, "Yeah, but, I didn't know what else to do. I knew I was blushing and couldn't look him in those icy blues of his! So I just walked away before I made a fool of myself."
Cody picked up a popcorn kernel and threw it at my head, "But now you got him thinking you're not interested in him! Don't you want him to know that you're totally in love with him?" Cody shoved a hand full into his mouth.
I sigh, "No. Codes, he's Randy Orton. Co captain of both the basketball and football team with John Cena. That'd be like you crushing on John!"
"Who's crushing on John now?" Ted asked walking into the room.
"Nobody!" Cody instantly screams. I laugh and scroll through pages of websites. Ted raises his eyebrow and plops down beside me, looking over my shoulder.
"Whatcha looking up?" Ted asked.
"Just the lyrics to the new Lady Gaga song 'The Edge of Glory'. I really like it." I answer. Ted nods.
"So what's up with you and Randy? I heard you two bumped into each other in the hall today and he didn't kill you." Ted asked. I roll my eyes.
"I just told Cody about it. Nothing is going on between us. At least I don't think. Besides, what would all star Randy Orton see in little me?" I ask Ted.
"True, he does have the body of a God and you still look hot, just really really tiny." Ted admits. I lowered my head. Ted wasn't really that smart when it came to relationships and other's feelings. Cody's jaw drops and he throws a hand full of popcorn at his boyfriend.
"What?" Ted frowned at Cody, "I was only pointing out the truth." I head drooped even lower. Cody threw another piece of popcorn at Ted, "You asshole! We're supposed to be helping him, not make him face reality!"
Ted sighed, "Sorry Evan."
"Thanks Ted." I punch Ted in the arm, earning an 'ow' in response. "And that's for calling me tiny." Ted rubbed his arm and Cody laughed. A few minutes later, I find what I was looking for, chords for "The Edge of Glory."
"Found it!" I celebrate. "Hey Ted, can I borrow one of you're guitars, I need to try these chords out."
"Sure." Ted complies. Cody sits up too, "Can you get me some more popcorn for me Teddy?"
Ted rolled his eyes, "Cody, you're going to get fat from easy so much junk food."
Cody smirked, lay down on his side, and rubbed his stomach, "Only more of me to love." Cody put on a sexy face and smacked his ass. I cracked up watching as Ted glared at Cody with both lust and hate.
Randy's POV
Later that night, I go online and look up the lyrics to a song called, "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" by Death Cab For Cutie. I have the song on my IPod and I listen to it occasionally. I think it's an inspiring and romantically sad song. Now usually anybody would find me listening to my favorite band, Rev Theory, but, my voice can't get up that high and this one is really low.
I ask my sister Becky if I can borrow my old keyboard back to see if I can play the song. Back when I was a kid, I learned how to play piano and I still remember how to today. I crack my knuckles and play the notes for the intro. The song is pretty straight forward so, I learn it quick.
"Love of mine, someday you will die. But will be close behind, I will follow you into the dark." I sing, my eyes closed. Then I pause noticing my mom my in the door way. She smiled and lightly clapped her hands.
"I haven't you play, much less sing, in years Randy. It sounded sweet." She grinned. I raise an eyebrow.
"Mom, that was only the intro and the first verse." I explain.
"But it was still good. Keep practicing." My mom encouraged and walked out of the room.
An hour later, I had the song in my head and memorized by heart. I found myself loving being back in music. It was uplifting and emotional. Auditions were two days from now and I couldn't wait. I'd finally show Evan that I am good enough for him.
A/N: Okay, so there it is. Chapter 3. I hope it doesn't sound kinda lame or sappy. I'm updating in short chapter cuz I don't know how much time I have left to write before my social life and sports life take over. Also, most of the songs on here are songs that i am learning and/or have posted on my YouTube. XD!
So….
-What'll Evan do when Randy auditions?
-Will Randy make the part of a lover?
-Did we just see a little bit of John in there?
-What does Randy mean when he thinks, "I'd finally show Evan that I am good enough for him."?
-Is Cody getting fat?
-WTF is gonna happen?
There's a reason why the story is called, "A Mid-Summer Nights Dream." XD!
Special Announcement: I currently have a pole on my profile asking you, the readers, what song you want me to write about. Also, what song you pick I will perform on my YouTube Channel. Link to channel is in my Profile. XD
