High school for the arts

I wave goodbye to Eric as he walks to his class and I enter mine. Yes, there was a lot of consider about it. Luckily, I didn't have to consider, at least not now. I didn't care what he had said about it not mattering how long you've been here, I really doubt they'd pick a stranger for the lead.

Eric waved back before he walked to class. He sat in class and listened to the teacher. He waited until he was excused to go to his locker because he forgot to grab some stuff but in reality, he went to a stage that was empty and sat at the piano and started to play it while he sung along for a while.

After my dance teacher explained that we were doing a project, she released us out into the hallway so we could all find our own area to work. Now dressed in my tights and leotard, hair in a bun, I head to the stage, thinking it would be empty, but am pleasantly surprised to see Eric there. Not wanting to interupt him, I quietly go to exit the room and find another place to work.

Eric was really getting into the music. He did not even notice her come in. He played the song and sang it with feeling. Then he changed to a different and much softer song. He was playing let her go.

I was going to leave... but as the song changed, I couldn't help but stay. Silently, I take a seat in the back of the stage, listening to him sing. My dance project could wait for another time.

He finished that song and then stopped. He looked up at the ceiling. Then he noticed her. "Oh hello. I did not see you there." He said and blushed a little bit.

He had such a lovely voice. Who needed to dance when he could act and sing! He was sure to get the lead. Seeing him blush, my cheeks start to turn pink as well and say, "I'm sorry. I saw you singing and I was going to leave, but it was so nice. I'm sorry," I tell him, getting up to head out.

"No it is fine I was just caught off guard. You can stay." He said smiling at her. "Thank you by the way. I really do appreciate it. I just wanted to get away from class for a while and this is usually where I go when I feel like that. What are you up to?" He asked her.

Placing my dance bag back in the seat, I smile when he says I can stay. "Dance class," I say shyly, now feeling a bit awkward standing in front of him dressed ready for ballet. "We're supposed to be choreographing a solo, song of our choice."

"Oh well, you can have the stage if you want to." Eric said looking at her. Out of curiosity, what song are you choosing?" He asked her.
