Sorry it's been awhile since I updated, I've been working on like three other stories and one of them should be up in a couple days. Enjoy the story! :D
I Get Some Unsettling News
Over the next few days Percy became really good, he could hit every note, when I said bye to him on the last day of practice I told him," You're doing great Percy, you're going to land a speaking role." He shrugged," It's only because I have a great teacher." I turned to hide my blush- wait-wait-wait! Why the heck am I blushing?! I rolled my eyes when I turned around," Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow."
When I got home I went over my confusing feelings for Percy, on one hand he was super annoying and arrogant, on the other hand he was sweet, nice (when he wants to be), and over the past few days I saw a glimpse of the old Percy…
I shook my head and pulled out my IPOD and the song "Lego House" by Ed Sheeran. Then I pulled on my pj's, and hopped into bed.
The next day at the audition we had to wait our turn until it was our turn and as the minutes passed I got more and more nervous. Percy reached over and held my hand whispered, "You're going to do great." I nodded and felt really aware that we were holding hands, and then Arlene came out. I quickly pulled my hand away from Percy's and hoped that she didn't see it. "Kylie, and Percy it's your turn."
We got in and my legs were jelly, I uneasily got onto the stage. I think it's ironic, I'm not afraid of the actual performance, but the auditions are killers.
After we were done singing the person who was the director, Caleb Quinn an eleventh grader, smiled," You two can go, you will have your results on Friday." When we exited the auditorium I sighed," Gosh I was horrible." Percy snorted," Did you hear me?" I burst out laughing," Are we seriously arguing about who was worse?" A grin spread across Percy's face," I think we are."
On the bus Percy went to go sit with his friends and Arlene sat with me, she was quiet and that's not good. Arlene is never quiet," Arlene what's wrong?" I asked and she said quietly but fiercely," What was that hand holding back there?" I sighed in frustration," Arlene you aren't my mother." She eyed me angrily," You're falling for Percy ad you're going to get your heart broken."
I realized it was my stop and I saw that at least half of the bus was looking at me," Whatever." I said as I stormed off the bus. I didn't even want to go home so I just went to the park and I heard a voice behind me," Hey Kylie? Are you okay?" I turned around and saw Percy," I'm fine." He raised an eyebrow," You are a terrible lair."
I sat down on a bench," Arlene is trying to mother me, and she says I shouldn't hang out with you." Percy smirked," Well what are you going to do." I laughed," Ignore her advice, seeing as you're as good as you are you're going to be in the play. So you've got deal with me for a while." He sat down next to me, "I think I can manage."
I hoped that I didn't blush, I told him," Well I better head back home, mom may get worried." Percy smiled," Thanks Kylie for everything." I shrugged," All I did was help with your audition." He rolled his eyes," Not just that, but for giving me a second chance." Okay I knew I blushed that time," 'S nothing."
With that I walked back home and found Sam sitting on my doorsteps," Sam? What are you doing here?" He stood up, "Arlene wanted me to tell you that she's sorry for how she acted ad that she supports you." I nodded," Anything else?" Sam nervously smiled," Please don't tell her, but I like her and I don't know how to ask her out..." I remembered there as this place that was opening," Just ask her to the new ice-cream bar that's opening up this Friday."
Sam grinned and hugged me," Thanks Kylie! I'll see you tomorrow!" I sighed, until now I'd never really wondered what I'd be like to have a boyfriend, to have some hold me… I laughed at myself," Sure like you're ever going to get a boyfriend." I went back inside and fell asleep.
The next day on the bus Arlene sat with me," So are we okay?" I nodded," Of course, hey did anything interesting happen yesterday?" A grin spread across her face," Yes! Sam asked me out!" I smiled and patted her on the back, she replied," Okay I'm going to find a way to make this up to you." I shrugged," You don't have to." Arlene rolled her eyes and told me," Don't be stupid, I know who got Christine."" Who?" She smirked mischievously," You."
My jaw dropped," That's great!" The she muttered something under her breath," What was that." Arlene bit her lip and sighed," Percy got the Phantom." I laughed," I doubt you had a hand in that." She frowned," I wanted him to be the guy that was hung." Harsh much," Well not much you can about that, so who got Raoul?" "Sam." My eyes widened, "Don't worry Arlene nothing will change." She smiled but her voice was cold as steel," It better."
Over the next few days Percy kept pestering me to see if I knew my part," PERCY! Wait until Friday, geez you're impatient." He sighed," Only one more day to go." I had never seen him this excited over something school related since before his mom died.
Well Friday came around and Percy asked," Are you going to see what your part is?" I shook my head," Nah, you can tell me at lunch." I caught one glimpse of Sam and he was just as happy as a teenager can get, and at lunch Sam and Arlene had to go practice a presentation for a different class so I was alone. That's when Percy walked over," Hey Kylie, mind if I sit?" I didn't matter what I'd say if I said no he's sit so I just shrugged, "Not at all."
I asked," Did I at least land a choir girl?" Percy smirked mischievously," Nope, you got Christine." I did the best fake smile ever and-wait a second I didn't like how he was looking at me when he said that I got Christine. "What'd you get?" He beamed," The Phantom, so we are going to have to-"" Don't get too far ahead of yourself."
I knew where he was going with that sentence, I the last scene (or at least near the end of the play) the Phantom and Christine have to kiss. Uh-oh.
