Chapter 10

JPOV

It was so obvious what Dawnafus had been up to when she came home after her audition.

Luckily I had managed to find Nessie and she gave me a lift home since Dawnafus had 'disappeared'. She drove way too fast for my liking though. I was clinging on to the seat the whole way home.

After a dinner of covert looks and expressions when mum wasn't looking, Dawnafus must have known I knew. I could read her so easily. We shared the same face!

I went to my room to sort out my books to do some homework. She came in a couple of minutes later.

"So do you think you got a part?" I asked without even turning around. I'd start with the audition, and work up to the private after party.

She walked over and sat on the bed, so we could see each other via my mirror.

"I'm not sure...it ended quite unexpectedly.." she said trying hard to hide her smirk, she was probably thinking back to what had happened.

"Go on.." I probed.

"Well I did that scene from Romeo and Juliet like I said I would. It ends with a kiss.." she stopped again. She was blatantly dragging this out just to annoy me. That was so Dawnafus.

"And...?"

"And...then it got a little out of hand" she ended with a giggle. This was going nowhere.

"Come on Dawnafus! Give me more!" I all but whined.

"OK, OK.. So we started making out at the end of the audition and Mrs Maslen-Leese basically told us to leave. So we left...and went back to his house." she was wearing such a naughty look.

"How far did you go?" I asked literally on the edge of my seat and leaning towards her.

She just smirked and lifted an eyebrow to answer me. I knew what that meant. I squeaked.

We spent the rest of the evening discussing what this meant, how talented he was, and where things would lead from here.

During all the excitement for Dawnafus, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She had found a guy, they had dated, and now they had actually sealed the deal. I had only just managed a conversation.

Back in England it was me that had all the confidence. But here, it was like role reversal.

Over the weekend, Dawnafus and I decided to do some exploring. Nessie always talked about going out hunting in the woods with her family and there was so much woodland around our new home, so we went for a walk.

After a few hours, we concluded there wasn't anything of much interest in the woods, and returned home sodden and cold.

Sunday was spent indoors, having learnt our lesson. Dawnafus seemed to be overly friendly to me. I think she was trying to make up for my lack of love life in comparison to hers.

She invited Ness and Jacob round for a few games on the Wii. It was a great laugh. Me and Dawn were beaten by miles, they were so quick! By the end of the weekend I was feeling quite a bit better. I had been given a boost of confidence from Clare, and proof from Dawnafus that she hadn't forgotten about me with her new bloke in the picture.

We were both quite looking forward to Monday, and the return of school. Something else that was very controversial to the way we were back in England.

DPOV

As I pulled into the driveway I hoped that nobody else was home. It would be a little bit difficult explaining why I was wearing Darcy's shirt. Though if I had to I'm sure I could come up with something convincing.

As I turned the key in the lock relief washed over me when it took two turns to unlock. That meant no one was home. Phew. I quickly ran upstairs to get changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.

I couldn't hide anything from Josephine. All through dinner she was sending me these looks that suggested she knew. I should have known it wouldn't take long for her to figure it out. We shared a lot of facial expressions. This being one of them.

After helping Mum with the washing up I went to Josephine's room. I knew that she would be dying to know all the juicy gossip. We did tell each other everything after all. As per usual she broke me in gently asking about the audition. Until she had brought it up I had completely forgotten about it. I really hoped that I had gotten a part in the show. Hopefully mine and Darcy's little loss of control hadn't hindered my chances of getting a role.

Then we started to get down to what had occurred between me and Darcy this afternoon. I was doing my best to annoy her by dragging it out as much as possible. When I had finished with all the details she wanted to know, I noticed a look of sadness briefly flit in her eyes. I could see in her face that it was starting to get to her that things weren't moving along with Chris. It was coming up for Halloween in a couple of weeks. I couldn't believe it was already October. Maybe someone would be having a party; Halloween was a big celebration in America.

I went to sleep that night replaying my afternoon delight with Darcy in my head.

Saturday morning we decided to go out exploring. I was hoping the adventure would cheer Josephine up. Big mistake. All we got for our troubles was cold and wet. Damn rain.

Sunday we thought it best to stay indoors. After a couple of failed attempts to get hold of Darcy, I invited Nessie and Jake over and we started a little Wii tournament going. I would probably regret this tomorrow when I woke up with Wii pains in my shoulder.

Jake and Nessie were unbeatable. They both had excellent hand-eye coordination and lightning speed reflexes. Jake won, with Nessie in a close second. I suspected she might have thrown the last couple of rounds in his favour, since he seemed the type to sulk if he didn't win. We were all laughing away by the end. Even Josephine seemed to be more like her normal, bubbly self.

Hopefully tomorrow I would see Darcy. Not being able to talk to him all weekend had left me feeling a little worried. Was my performance that terrible? Or was he actually just busy?
