Chapter 14
Sinead knocked quietly on Amy's door, half hoping Amy wouldn't hear it.
"Come in." Amy called from inside. Sinead sighed heavily and pushed open the door.
"Amy, I need to talk to you." Sinead said, tentatively. She stepped inside to find Amy sitting on her bed, working on some homework.
Amy set down her homework and looked up.
"It's Hamilton again." Sinead said.
"Yeah, I saw you guys playing chess when we got home." Amy said.
"I-it's more." Sinead said.
"Oh. What is it?"
"I-I, uh, well," Sinead stuttered, which was unusual.
"Yes?" Amy said softly, trying to encourage her friend.
Sinead sighed again.
"Hamilton kissed me."
That night, at dinner, Amy didn't speak much. Her thoughts were circling around what Sinead had told her. She had heard about how Hamilton had kissed Sinead right before he left, about his sheepish glance backwards as he hurried of, and about Sinead's absolute shock. She poked at her steak that Nellie had made, occasionally popping pieces in her mouth.
"Okay, kiddos, I think I'm ready to go to bed." Nellie said as she stood up.
"Already? It's pretty early." Dan said, glancing at the clock, which read 6:48.
"Yeah, but I'm tired from getting up so early this morning." Nellie replied, getting up. She picked up her plate and walked into the kitchen. Everyone else at the table followed suit. Amy picked up her plate and made her way to the kitchen. She placed her plate in the dishwasher and started to leave to kitchen, though she was stopped by someone grabbing her hand.
She spun around to stare into Ian's Amber eyes. "O-oh, uh, h-hi." She mumbled.
Ian smiled. "Hello, love." He let her hand go. "I was wondering if now would be an ok time to practice our lines." He said.
"O-oh, yeah, of c-course." Amy stuttered. She followed Ian into the living room, where he picked up two scripts and handed her one. "The p-part that we're supposed t-to practice is the sixth section, where the prince finds that Cinderella was the one he danced with, right?"
"Yes." Ian replied. He turned to page to the sixth section, where he started to read out loud.
Though out the practicing that they did, Ian realized that Amy was an amazing actor. After going through the section a few times, he stopped to ask her a question. "Amy," he said. "Why do you like acting so much? I would have thought that with you being so shy, it would be terrifying for you."
She gave him a funny look before answering. "Well, I guess that acting is just, well, fun for me." She said,this time without stuttering. That was another thing. She hadn't stuttered at all when they had been practicing the script. "I am terrified of being on stage, but I guess that I have so much fun that it doesn't matter."
" Ok, thank you." Ian said before they resumed practicing.
Ok, I am so sorry that I haven't updated in over a week. I had a really busy week, and I had to rewrite the chapter because it accidentally got deleted.
well, that being said, I really hoped you liked the chapter!
