High school for the arts

"Okay, as long as your parents don't mind me stealing you from them for a few hours... Hmm, good question," I tell him when he asks about where to go. "We could go to outer space, or Paris, I've always wanted to see Paris. I feel like that's such a girl thing to say. Do guys ever dream about going to Paris?" I ask him with a smile.

"They won't mind at all." He said to her and sighed as he thought that they would actually appreciate it since he can't even go home. "As for Paris, I mean I haven't but I have been there before. I don't know about other guys though." He said to her and shrugged. "I went there with my parents for one of her movies before I was old enough to just stay home." He said to her. "I was probably 13." He added and looked at her.

I hear him sigh and I frown. "Are you okay? You seem upset about something. Normally people aren't upset if they're talking about Paris, especially if you've been there before. Extremely jealous by the way. We'll have to go there when our show is on tour. You can be my tour guide," I tell him with a small smile, trying to cheer him up.

"Ya I am fine. I am just tired." He said to her. He was having a hard time keeping this up. He was just hoping that she would not realize that. "I would love to be your tour guide when we go there for our world tour of the best show that anyone will ever see." He said smiling a little at her. "There is a little cafe we have to go to. It is so good and they handmake all of their pastries." He said to her.

"Okay," I say to him, though I didn't believe him. However, I wasn't going to push him if he didn't want to tell me. "Yeah, and we'll be the leads of course," I tell him smiling. "Sounds delicious," I say, wishing we could fly off to Paris right now.

"It is really good. There are a few places I would love to visit again. You know that we will be the leads." He said smiling at her. He looked at the time. "We should start to class." He said to her.

He seemed to be looking a bit better, though I was still worried for him. "Okay," I say to him, taking his hand in mine. I started off towards our class.

He walked into class and the teacher came in and passed out permission slips to everyone. "I need everyone to get these filled out and signed by a parent for the field trip we are taking to see a show next week. I need them in two days." He said there was a sticky note attached to Eric's that said if his parents were not in town to talk to him. Eric sighed and took off the sticky note. What if they were here but would not even talk to him?

I smiled, taking the permission form. My mom would probably take some convincing to sign it, which was exactly why I planned on asking my dad. At least I had one parent who actually supported me no matter what I did. My mom was... trying. "This is exciting," I tell Eric.

(( Aww, poor Eric. I just want her to start comforting him, but it's better for drama if she doesn't find out until after a bit. Instead, she's oblivious, kinda, since she knows something is wrong but not how badly ))

(I know! I feel so bad! But my thing is, who wouldn't tell their girlfriend about such a major life change? It is better if she does not find out for a while for drama but seriously!)

Eric would go talk to the teacher later and figure something out. In the meantime, he tried to act like nothing was wrong at all for Rosey's sake. He smiled a little. "Yes it is. It is great. I am pretty excited." He said trying to convince himself. His friend he was staying with came over. "My mom was wondering if you wanted to come over for dinner." He said trying not to tip Rosey off. Eric looked at him. "Um I actually have plans for tonight but thank you for the offer. I can tomorrow if it is no trouble." He said. The guy smiled. "Ya it is no trouble at all." He said and left. Eric put the paper in his backpack.
