I Did with You

"JACKASS!!" my bandmate Mark joked.

Today is rehearsal day for the fast approaching school play "I Did With You".

I was assigned to compose the songs for the play together with my bandmates Mark and David.

Well, they're my only bandmates, and we're the only band in school.

"God guys, stop calling each other names!" I laughed.

Mark: the blonde one. He's the joker and he plays the piano. Very good when it comes to lights. He's one of the propsmen.

David: brunette. My partner when it comes to singing. He's an angel when he sings, though he's also a joker and one of the propsmen like Mark.

Me? I'm just the composer. That's my role.

"OH MY GOD CONRAD!! Can't you do something sweeter?!" Mr. Lance, the director, yelled.

Conrad Beck Fisher, plays the lead guy.

I stared at him from afar. He's in the center of the stage together with Amber, his leading lady.

They were practicing their scenes.

I'm just here standing by the piano at the side of the stage with Mark and David, watching Mr. Lance heat up.

"What now?!" he answered. Jeez, he's such an idiot.

"When Amber says 'I think I love you', you have to wrap your arms romantically around her waist and answer 'I think I do too'!! Damn it Conrad, it's only three days before the play!!" Mr. Lance said.

"Well that's what I did!!" Conrad yelled back.

Conrad's evil.

But god I love him so much.

And he has no idea I do.

And the sad reality is, he's out of my reach. Here he is, playing a lead role, while I'm here just composing the songs they're gonna sing.

I looked at him.

Amber's so lucky. If I were her, I'd be taking advantage of my role.

I'd be the happiest girl if I were in her position.

But this is all that I'm gonna get.

I have to accept it.

"Okay, do it better will you?! Take 5 on Scene 13!" Mr. Lance went downstage to watch them practice again.

"I think I love you." Amber whispered sweetly.

"I think I do, too." Conrad went near her and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Amber wrapped her arms around his shoulders. The scene was so sweet it made me jealous.

"CUT!! That was perfect." Mr. Lance clapped.

I'm honestly thankful there are no kissing scenes in this play. If there were, I'd die.

Conrad kissing another girl? Wow, that's gotta hurt.

What I hate about myself is, when I speak about Conrad, it's as if he's my boyfriend or something. Nah. I'm just stupidly in love with him, that's all.

Then a hand waved in front of me.

"You've been staring at him for hours." Mark said.

"W-what? No! Come on, let's just finish this theme song then we'll go." I suddenly got my hands full of paper. Mark and David smirked. They know about it. I think.

I got carried away while finishing the theme song.

"Love comes in circles and love takes its own time.." David and I sang.
