Chapter Text
"Hey yo, Mike you realize you are walking to the theater to try out for a play right?" I ask confused and honestly wanting to know if he knew what he was doing. "I'm not going to try out. We are going to try out."
"I'm sorry, what? No way Mike I'm not trying out for some stupid school play all because you have a crush on the assistant director." I said ignoring Micheal's puppy eyes. "Please Ash, drop the bad boy act and try out for the play with me please..." He begged holding out the 'e'.
"Fine, but it's not my fault if the guy says no to you asking him out," Mikey smiled wide and attacked me with a hug. "You're the best Ash come on lets go audition." I'm way to nice to this kid. Walking into the theater was normal, but once inside you could see all the students there to audition.
What a bunch of nerds. They actually want to do something school related, gross. I continue walking not noticing Michael run over to Calum Hood the assistant director / my best friends crush. I walked with my head down hoping no one I knew would see me.Sadly I wasn't watching were I was going causing me to run into somebody.
All the papers the stranger was holding fell to the ground and with a frustrated huff he bent down to pick them up. I just stood there watching the dude randomly, he looked up when he I guess felt my eyes on him. "Are you going to help me or just stare at me like an idiot?" He asked rather sassy. He had blonde hair that was swiped to the side in a fringe kind of look with a lip piercing that looked great on him. When I didn't say anything he just huffed again and continued to pick up the papers that were dropped. With all the papers finally collected he stood up and sent me a glare.
"what's your name kid?" I ask because this guy had character and I liked it. "I would really like it if you didn't call me kid. I mean how would you like it if i just called you old man? I seriously doubt that you would like that so just don't call me that kay? Thanks." He walked away still not answering my question but I didn't care I was to shocked by the fact that he had just called me an old man. I'm not even that old i'm only a senior. All I know though is that this guy had an attitude and I liked that about him.
I quickly walked over to Michael who was still standing next to Calum. It didn't even look like he was talking to him. Ignoring Michael when I got up to them I spoke directly to Calum. "Hey Hood, I Have a question for you." He looked at me and motioned for me to continue " See that blonde over there, What's his name?" He looked in the direction of look and smiled a goofy grin. I could see from the corner of my eye Micheal was mentally awwing this guy. " That's my best friend Luke Hemmings. He is the lead for the play. You guys are trying out right?" This time he looked at Micheal with hopeful eyes. It was so obviously that they liked each other but they barley talked. Micheal seemed to have a hard time forming words so I covered for him.
"Yeah sign us up. What do we have to do?"
