Neveah's POV:

I rushed to the toilets, nobody can see me cry. It shows I'm vulnerable and weak, and in secondary school that's the opposite of what you want people to see you as.

I looked like an idiot. I had my head down and was sprinting through the halls, pulling my bag up onto my shoulders every so often. I looked up for a moment to see where I was. I was nearly there.. only a few metres to go. So I put my head down, and ran even faster than I did before, until..

BANG!!!

I've crashed into someone! This just drew more attention to me as I had just rugby tackled this random, innocent person and I was on the floor still sobbing to myself.

"Wow, slow down next time! You could of barged me through the girls toilet doors and you've got to admit that wouldn't of looked good on my behalf." A familiar voice chuckles.

I slowly looked up dreading who the mystery person could of possibly been until I reach his eyes. The exact same eyes I was staring into in drama yesterday. Eren hunter's green eyes, that connected to mine within a matter of seconds.

He slowly rose up and put out his hand to help me stand. I reached for his hand and placed mine on his. Butterflies bounced around in my stomach (I don't like him so they are obviously and most definitely pre-audition nerves). Until I was finally steady on my feet he held onto mine tightly, his fingers gripped onto my skin. He finally let go, everyone staring at us after the fatal and embarrassing accident. He was first to break the silence and throughout all this time still maintained eye contact.

"Ok, we are definitely even, I mean, I don't want you going all crazy on me now."

I laughed, "well you never know after this you might go and cut the wires in my car." I kind of sounded like a psycho but he didn't seem to mind.

"Good idea." He smirks and in a low husky voice he asks "are you okay?"

I remember now that I was crying before. During all the excitement I had forgotten. My eyes are probably bright red.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I lied, hoping he wouldn't notice that I looked down to hide my red eyes and my cheeks that were quickly becoming the same colour.

"Are you sure?" He slouched to my height looking from beneath me to see my face. I laughed and looked away.

"Yep," I blinked away the tears as the memories of this morning poured back.

I tried to leave "sorry, by the way, but I need to get going otherwise I'll be late for auditions." I turn and race towards the girls toilets.

"Wait!" he called and grabbed my wrist, as I turn we both look at where his skin met mine and quickly he put his hands behind his back "I'm going to the auditions as well, I was just wondering if you wanted to walk together?"

I nodded. It would of been rude not to and anyway the tears had gone, and I'm not gonna lie he is ok looking. Also after this morning he seemed nicer than usual, so why not take advantage of that and talk to an actual boy who seems interested...
For once.
