🎭Part 13-“You almost kissed me.”

The next morning, Freya wakes up with one thing on her mind.

Malachi Barton.

Which is absolutely ridiculous, by the way.

She’d spent the entire night replaying the events of the previous evening. The play, the applause, the way Malachi had looked at her during their final scene, and, of course, the conversation in the hallway afterward.

“It didn’t feel like acting.”

WHY HAD SHE SAID THAT?

She could’ve said literally anything else. She could’ve made a joke, insulted him, or pretended she didn’t know what he was talking about.

But no.

She’d decided to embarrass herself instead.

Her phone buzzes on the nightstand.

Malachi: morning, rain cloud.

Freya stares at the message.

Freya: don’t call me that.

Malachi: good morning to you too, sunshine.

Freya: what do you want?

Malachi: wow. can’t a guy text his favorite person?

Freya: absolutely not.

Malachi: you’re right. i’ll text my second favorite person instead.

Freya: who’s your first?

Freya immediately throws her phone onto the bed.

“Oh my GOD.”

Three seconds later, she grabs it again.

Malachi: HAHAHAHAHA YOU ACTUALLY ASKED.

Freya: I DID NOT.

Malachi: you literally did.

Freya: i’m blocking you.

Malachi: you say that every day.

Freya: ONE DAY I WILL.

Malachi: can’t wait, babe.

Freya sits up so quickly that her blanket falls onto the floor.

Babe?

BABE?

She types a response, deletes it, types another one, and deletes that too.

Finally, she settles on the only reasonable option.

Freya: you’re actually the most annoying person alive.

Malachi: and yet you’re still texting me.

Freya: unfortunately.

Malachi: see you at lunch, girlfriend.

Freya stops breathing for approximately two seconds.

Girlfriend.

It was a joke.

Obviously.

He was Malachi Barton. He flirted with everyone. He probably called the cafeteria lady babe when she gave him extra fries.

So why was Freya sitting on her bed smiling at her phone like an absolute idiot?

She throws it across the bed again.

“Nope. Absolutely not. This is NOT happening.”

🎭Part 12-The play begins.

The opening scene goes perfectly.

Freya steps onto the stage as Amelia Cole, delivering her lines with the confidence she’d spent months building. Malachi follows as Cameron Reid, and from the very first scene, the audience is completely captivated.

They argue like they mean it.

They laugh like they’ve known each other forever.

And when Cameron looks at Amelia, there’s something in his expression that makes the audience lean forward in their seats.

Something that wasn’t in the script.

Something neither of them can quite explain.

Backstage, Kaylee watches from the wings with her arms crossed.

Kaylee: “Oh, they’re so in love.”

Mk: “Disgusting.”

Kaylee: “You literally cried during rehearsal yesterday.”

Mk: “I had something in my eye.”

Kaylee: “You were watching them kiss.”

Mk: “IT WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL SCENE.”

Kaylee: “Sure, Mk.”

The final act approaches.

Freya can feel her heart pounding as she steps into position for the last scene. This is it. The monologue she’s practiced for two months. The scene that made her want this role in the first place.

Malachi stands across from her.

Cameron looks at Amelia.

And for the first time all evening, Malachi forgets that there are hundreds of people watching.

He forgets the lights.

He forgets the critics.

He forgets every single person sitting in the audience.

All he sees is Freya.

She delivers her lines, her voice trembling at exactly the right moment.

Freya as Amelia: “I spent so long convincing myself that hating you was easier than loving you. Because if I hated you, I couldn’t lose you. And if I couldn’t lose you, I never had to find out what it felt like to be without you.”

The theater is silent.

Malachi takes a step toward her.

Malachi as Cameron: “And what if I told you that I’ve been waiting for you to stop running away from me?”

Freya’s breath catches.

It’s a line they’ve rehearsed a hundred times.

But tonight, it feels different.

Freya as Amelia: “I’d tell you that you’re an idiot.”

A few people in the audience laugh softly.

Malachi’s mouth twitches.

Malachi as Cameron: “I’ve been called worse.”

Freya as Amelia: “I know. I’ve called you worse.”

Malachi as Cameron: “And yet, somehow, I’m still here.”

Freya looks into his eyes.

Freya as Amelia: “Why?”

Malachi pauses.

Just for a second.

Then he delivers the line that closes the play.

Malachi as Cameron: “Because every road I’ve ever taken has led me back to you.”

Freya feels her heart skip.

Then she steps closer.

The final kiss.

Their lips meet, and the audience erupts into applause.

But neither of them is thinking about the audience.

For one brief moment, Freya forgets that they’re acting.

And judging by the way Malachi’s hand trembles slightly against hers, she isn’t the only one.

The curtains close.

The applause gets louder.

And backstage, Miss Becky is crying.

Miss Becky: “THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!”

Mk is jumping up and down.

Mk: “THEY DID IT! MY FAVORITE DISASTER COUPLE DID IT!”

Kaylee: “THEY’RE NOT A COUPLE!”

Mk: “GIVE IT TIME!”

Freya and Malachi return backstage, both breathless and grinning.

Freya: “We did it.”

Malachi: “We did.”

Freya: “And you didn’t mess up a single line.”

Malachi: “Were you expecting me to?”

Freya: “Honestly? A little.”

Malachi: “Wow. After everything we’ve been through.”

Freya: “You’re welcome.”

He laughs.

Then he looks at her, and his expression changes.

Malachi: “Hey. Can I talk to you?”

Freya’s smile softens.

Freya: “Yeah. Of course.”

He leads her away from the noise, down the empty hallway behind the stage.

For once, neither of them argues about where they’re going.

When they reach the end of the corridor, Malachi turns to face her.

Malachi: “So… that kiss.”

Freya immediately starts blushing.

Freya: “What about it?”

Malachi: “Was that acting?”

She stares at him.

Freya: “Malachi.”

Malachi: “Freya.”

Freya: “We were onstage. There were hundreds of people watching us.”

Malachi: “That’s not an answer.”

Freya: “You’re unbelievable.”

Malachi: “And you’re avoiding the question.”

She folds her arms.

Freya: “What do you want me to say?”

He looks at her for a moment, all the usual teasing gone.

Malachi: “The truth.”

Freya’s heart pounds.

She could make a joke. She could roll her eyes, call him annoying, and walk away like she always does.

Instead, she takes a breath.

Freya: “It didn’t feel like acting.”

Malachi goes quiet.

Freya: “There. Happy now?”

He lets out a small laugh, almost disbelieving.

Malachi: “You have no idea.”

Freya looks down, suddenly very interested in the floor.

Freya: “Don’t make this weird.”

Malachi: “I’m not making anything weird.”

Freya: “You’re literally staring at me.”

Malachi: “You’re literally standing in front of me.”

Freya: “I hate you.”

He smiles.

Malachi: “No, you don’t.”

And the worst part?

For once, Freya can’t even pretend he’s wrong.

From the other end of the hallway, Mk’s voice rings out.

Mk: “IF YOU TWO ARE KISSING AGAIN, MISS BECKY WANTS PHOTOS!”

Freya closes her eyes.

Freya: “I’m going to murder him.”

Malachi: “Get in line.”

She starts laughing, and Malachi watches her like he could listen to that sound for the rest of his life.

Then he reaches for her hand.

Freya looks down at their intertwined fingers.

She doesn’t pull away.

Malachi: “Come on, Rain Cloud. We’ve got a cast party to get to.”

Freya looks up at him, smiling.

Freya: “Call me that one more time, Barton, and I’ll make sure your next role is a tree.”

Malachi: “A very handsome tree.”

Freya: “An ugly tree.”

Malachi: “A tree with incredible stage presence.”

Freya: “I cannot stand you.”

Malachi: “Yeah, yeah. You love me.”

Freya stops walking.

Malachi stops too.

For a second, neither of them says anything.

Then Freya squeezes his hand.

Freya: “Don’t push your luck.”

And she pulls him down the hallway before he can see her smile.

Behind them, the theater is still buzzing with excitement.

Ahead of them, their friends are waiting.

And somewhere between the stage lights, the last curtain call, and a kiss that wasn’t supposed to mean anything, everything has changed.

Neither of them is ready to admit it.

Not yet.

But Monday morning, English 101 is going to be very interesting.

🎭Part 11-Backstage ten minutes before curtain.

Malachi is adjusting his costume when he hears a familiar voice behind him.

Freya: “Your collar is crooked.”

He goes completely still.

Slowly, he turns around.

And there she is.

Freya Skye.

Standing in front of him, wearing Amelia’s costume, her hair styled for the show, looking exhausted but smiling like she hasn’t just put him through the most stressful twenty-four hours of his life.

For once, he has absolutely nothing sarcastic to say.

Freya raises an eyebrow.

Freya: “What? Cat got your tongue, Barton?”

Malachi: “You’re here.”

Freya: “Very observant.”

Malachi: “You’re actually here.”

Freya: “Do you want me to leave?”

Malachi: “NO.”

The word comes out much louder than he intended.

A couple of people backstage turn around.

Freya blinks.

Malachi clears his throat.

Malachi: “I mean… no. Obviously not. We have a show.”

Freya: “Right.”

There’s a tiny smile tugging at her lips.

Freya: “You missed me.”

Malachi: “I missed having someone to argue with.”

Freya: “Same thing.”

Malachi: “In your dreams, Skye.”

Freya: “You’re blushing.”

Malachi: “It’s hot backstage.”

Freya: “It’s December.”

Malachi: “GLOBAL WARMING.”

Freya bursts out laughing.

And just like that, the tension breaks.

Malachi looks at her for another second, then his expression softens.

Malachi: “Hey. Seriously. Are you okay?”

Freya wasn’t expecting that.

Freya: “Yeah. I’m fine. My sister’s okay, too.”

Malachi: “Good.”

He hesitates.

Malachi: “You scared me, you know.”

Her smile fades a little.

Freya: “I’m sorry.”

Malachi: “Don’t do that again.”

Freya: “I can’t promise that. My family comes first.”

Malachi: “I know.”

He looks down at his hands.

Malachi: “I just… I didn’t want to do this without you.”

Freya feels something twist in her chest.

For once, she doesn’t have a sarcastic comeback ready.

Freya: “You won’t have to.”

Malachi looks up at her.

They stare at each other for a moment, and the entire world seems to get a little quieter.

Then Mk appears between them.

Mk: “OH MY GOD. ARE YOU TWO HAVING A MOMENT?”

Freya: “MK!”

Malachi: “GET OUT.”

Mk: “I KNEW IT!”

Freya: “I WILL THROW YOU OFF THIS STAGE.”

Mk: “LOVE MAKES PEOPLE VIOLENT.”

Malachi: “I’M GOING TO MAKE SURE YOU NEVER GET CAST IN ANOTHER PLAY.”

Mk: “YOU DON’T HAVE THAT POWER!”

Miss Becky: “EVERYONE INTO POSITION! CURTAIN IN TWO MINUTES!”

Mk scurries away.

Freya starts toward her entrance, but Malachi catches her wrist gently.

She turns around.

Malachi: “Frey?”

It’s the first time he’s called her that without using it to annoy her.

She notices.

Of course she notices.

Freya: “Yeah?”

Malachi: “Let’s make them remember this.”

She smiles.

Freya: “Try to keep up, Barton.”

Malachi: “Wouldn’t dream of doing anything else.”

🎭Part 10-Four hours later- Greenmont University Theater

The auditorium is packed.

Students, professors, parents, local theater critics, and even a few people from New York have filled the seats. The stage lights are glowing, the curtains are closed, and backstage is absolute madness.

Freya finally makes it through the dressing room door.

Miss Becky: “FREYA SKYE!”

Freya nearly drops her suitcase.

Freya: “Hi?”

Miss Becky: “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I’VE BEEN?”

Freya: “I’m sorry! My flight was delayed, and then the cab driver took the longest route possible, and then—”

Miss Becky: “You are never allowed to travel the day before a performance again.”

Freya: “Understood.”

Miss Becky: “Now get into costume before I lose the last remaining piece of my sanity.”

Freya practically throws herself into the dressing room.

Kaylee rushes over as soon as she sees her.

Kaylee: “YOU’RE ALIVE!”

Freya: “Barely.”

Kaylee: “You look terrible.”

Freya: “Thank you, Kaylee. You’re a ray of sunshine.”

Kaylee: “I try.”

Kaylee pulls her into a hug, then steps back and studies her face.

Kaylee: “Okay, serious question.”

Freya: “Oh, God.”

Kaylee: “Did you miss him?”

Freya: “Who?”

Kaylee gives her a look.

Freya: “Don’t.”

Kaylee: “I didn’t even say his name!”

Freya: “You didn’t have to.”

Kaylee: “So you did.”

Freya: “I’M GOING TO GET CHANGED.”

She disappears behind the costume rack.

Kaylee grins to herself.

Kaylee: “Oh, this is going to be good.”

🎭Part 9-Meanwhile at the airport

Freya practically sprints through the terminal, dragging her suitcase behind her. Her hair is a mess, she’s wearing yesterday’s clothes, and she has approximately four hours of sleep in her entire body.

But she’s back.

She’d helped her sister, made sure everything was okay, and caught the earliest flight she could get.

Because as much as she hated admitting it, she couldn’t leave Malachi to do this alone.

Not after everything they’d been through.

Not after the late-night rehearsals, the stupid arguments, the way he’d looked at her when he’d talked about his brother.

And definitely not after the way he’d been making her laugh lately.

Which was honestly the most irritating part.

She pulls out her phone and calls Kaylee.

Kaylee: “FREYA SKYE, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?”

Freya: “GOOD MORNING TO YOU TOO.”

Kaylee: “THE PLAY IS IN FOUR HOURS.”

Freya: “I KNOW.”

Kaylee: “MALACHI HAS BEEN PACING BACKSTAGE LIKE A MAN WHO’S ABOUT TO LOSE CUSTODY OF HIS CHILD.”

Freya: “WHAT?”

Kaylee: “I’M NOT EVEN JOKING. HE LOOKS LIKE HE’S ABOUT TO CRY.”

Freya stops walking.

Freya: “He’s what?”

Kaylee: “Oh, interesting. Suddenly you’re listening.”

Freya: “Kaylee.”

Kaylee: “Frey.”

Freya: “Don’t start.”

Kaylee: “I haven’t even started. But I will say this: I’ve never seen him worry about someone this much.”

Freya goes quiet.

Kaylee: “Anyway, get here. Miss Becky is going to personally haunt you if you make her replace you.”

Freya: “I’m on my way.”

Kaylee: “And Frey?”

Freya: “What?”

Kaylee: “You better kiss him tonight.”

Freya: “KAYLEE!”

Kaylee: “FOR THE PLAY, OBVIOUSLY.”

Freya: “YOU ARE THE WORST FRIEND IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.”

Kaylee: “LOVE YOU TOO.”

Freya hangs up, shaking her head.

Freya: “I’m actually going to kill her.”

She pauses.

Then, with a small smile, adds:

Freya: “After the show.”

🎭 Part 8- “You came back.”

It’s the day of the play. The theater is chaos. People are running around with costumes, the lighting crew is arguing about the spotlights, and Miss Becky is approximately two seconds away from having a complete breakdown.

And Malachi? He’s pacing backstage.

He’s been checking his phone every five minutes, calling Freya, texting Freya, and pretending he isn’t worried about Freya.

Which, obviously, isn’t working.

Miss Becky: “Malachi, darling, please stop pacing. You’re making me nervous.”

Malachi: “Sorry.”

He stops for approximately three seconds before starting again.

Miss Becky: “Malachi!”

Malachi: “I CAN’T HELP IT. SHE’S NOT HERE.”

Miss Becky: “Freya said she would be back.”

Malachi: “Yeah, well, Freya says a lot of things.”

Miss Becky: “And yet you seem to believe every single one of them.”

Malachi: “I actually hate everyone in this theater.”

Miss Becky: “Lovely. Save that energy for the second act.”

Malachi groans and pulls out his phone again. No new messages.

He calls her one more time.

Voicemail.

Malachi: “Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me.”

He runs a hand through his hair and looks toward the stage entrance.

Malachi: “If she makes me do this with her understudy, I swear to God—”

Mk: “You swear to God WHAT?”

Malachi turns around to see Mk standing there, eating a packet of gummy bears.

Malachi: “Where did you even get those?”

Mk: “Found them.”

Malachi: “You stole them, didn’t you?”

Mk: “That’s not the point.”

Malachi: “The point is that my leading lady is currently missing, and you’re standing here eating gummy bears like we’re at a birthday party.”

Mk: “First of all, they’re good gummy bears. Second of all, you need to calm down.”

Malachi: “I AM CALM.”

Mk: “Right. And I’m the Queen of England.”

Malachi: “You’d be a terrible queen.”

Mk: “You’d be a terrible boyfriend.”

Malachi freezes.

Malachi: “Excuse me?”

Mk: “Nothing.”

Malachi: “No, no. Come back here. What was that supposed to mean?”

Mk immediately starts walking away.

Mk: “I have somewhere to be.”

Malachi: “YOU’RE LITERALLY STANDING IN THE HALLWAY.”

Mk: “GOODBYE, MALACHI.”

Malachi shakes his head and looks back at his phone.

Then, finally, it buzzes.

FREYA 🩷: landed. getting a cab now. don’t have a breakdown.

Malachi stares at the message.

Then types.

MALACHI: YOU ARE ACTUALLY INSANE.

FREYA 🩷: missed you too xx

He stares at those three little letters.

xx.

He rereads the message.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Malachi: “Oh, I’m so screwed.”

🎭Part 7- “Ew Ew Ew”
1 day until the play. For once there’s no last minute rehearsals, no running around, No arguing. It’s calm. Suspiciously calm. Malachi was still sick. Freya had gotten a last minute call from her sister, who lives in New York. She needed help. So like any sister would do Freya flew out to New York. She knew she had the play in 1 day, but her sister is more important, plus she’s smart, she had planned the whole thing out. She would get to New York which was an hour and a half from Vermont. She would help her sister with whatever she needed then get back in a flight late that night to be back by the morning. She knew she would be tired, but that didn’t matter. She told everyone but one person. Malachi. She knew if she had told him he would try and stop her from going. Freya landed in New York and decided to call Malachi. He can’t stop her if she’s already there.

Freya:”Malachi?”

Malachi:”hey, um so miss Becky wanted to do one last costume fitting you down?”

Freya:”so about that-“

Malachi:”Freya what did you do?”

Freya:”don’t get mad, but my sister called me she said she needed help.”

Malachi:”THE SISTER THAT LIVES IN NEW YORK?”

Freya:”maybe.”

Malachi:”Freya you do realize the play is tomorrow?”

Freya:”it will be quick I promise.”

Malachi:”and if it’s not?”

Freya:”Why do you always doubt me?”

Malachi:”what’s there not to doubt?”

Freya:”I’m hanging up.”

Malachi:”Frey-“

Malachi:”and she hung up.”

Malachis pov-
After Freya told me she’s in New York the day before the play, I start freaking out, I decided to call kaylee cause she may know a way that this can all be handled. She’s the smart one in the group.

Kaylee:”why are you calling me, are you asking permission to marry Freya cause that’s not a me question.”

Malachi:”slow your roll, me and freya aren’t getting married. We don’t even like each other.”

Kaylee:”whatever makes you feel big and strong.”

Malachi:”okay the real reason I called is because Freya just told me she’s in New York.”

Kaylee:”yea I know.”

Malachi:”You do realize the play is tomorrow.”

Kaylee:”she’ll make it back on time, I promise.”

Malachi:”ughhh okay.”

Kaylee:”hey i actually do have a question for you.”

Malachi:”what’s up?”

Kaylee:”Is Mk dating anyone?”

Malachi:”Ew Ew Ew you don’t ACTUALLY like Mk do you?”

Kaylee:”I’m asking for a friend.”

Malachi:”oh well then no he’s not.”

Kaylee:”does he LIKE anyone.”

Malachi:”bye kaylee.”

Freya:”Malachi just tell me.”

Malachi:”ITS MY BROTHER OKAY.”

Freya:”wha-what you don’t have a brother.”

Malachi:”NOT ANYMORE I DONT OKAY HES DEAD, THATS WHY I DONT TALK ABOUT HIM.”

Freya:”oh, Malachi I’m so-“

Malachi:”drop it freya.”

Freya:”Malachi I’m sorry.”

Malachi:”Freya im not mad at you, I just don’t like talking about it.”

Freya:”listen I know we’re not…friends or anything, but… I’m here for you, if you need someone to talk to.”

Malachi:”thanks.”

Freya:”ca-can I ask what happened?”

Malachi:”My dad abused us when we were younger, it got to a point where my brother was sick of it and committed suicide.”

Freya:”awww Malachi I’m so sorry.”

Malachi:”it-it’s fine.” He says tears falling from his eyes

Freya:”are you crying?”

Malachi:”no.” He says wiping his eyes

Freya:”I didn’t think you had that in you.”

Malachi:”stop.”

Freya:”I’m sorry. do-do you want a hug.” Malachi shakes his head

*Freya goes over to hug Malachi.*

Freya:”you know, if you’re trying to make me feel guilty, you’ve succeeded.”

Malachi:”good, that’s what I was going for.” He says pulling back from the hug

Freya:”you little brat.” She says nudging his arm

Freya:”I’m being serious though, I am sorry.”

Malachi:”it’s okay, it was a long time ago.”

Freya:” I know but that still doesn’t change much.”

Malachi:”yeah, this never happened by the way.”

Freya:”obviously.”

Part 5- “I’m screwed.”

Mk and kaylee come back to the dorm room after another 30 minutes. They all ate dinner, watched a movie, and then freya got bored.

Freya:”I’m bored.”

Malachi:”of course you are.”

Freya:”This movie is boring, can we play something.”

Kaylee:”LETS PLAY TRUTH OR DARE!”

Mk:”YES!”

Malachi:”why not.”

Freya:”ABSOLUTELY NOT.”

Mk:”ughh don’t be such a party pooper freya.”

Freya:”kaylee you know what happened last time we played truth or dare.”

Kaylee:”but it’s just the 4 of us, nothing bad will happen Frey.”

Malachi:”did me and mk miss a chapter, why doesn’t she like to play truth or dare.”

Freya:”non of your business.”

Kaylee:”do you want to sit this out?”

Freya:”yea I’ll just go lay down in Malachis room.”

Malachi:”NO SNOOPING.”

Freya:”I won’t, calm down.”

Malachi:”I don’t trust her.”

Kaylee:”if you’ve made her mad in the past week, you shouldn’t trust her.”

Malachi:”I’m screwed.”

Freya walks around Malachis room, it’s cleaner than you would expect. A lot of hockey stuff, it also looks like he likes to draw, there’s a guitar on the floor. Pictures of him and this little boy, sitting on his desk. Malachis never mentioned anything about having siblings. Freya hears a knock on Malachis door so she opens it, it’s Malachi.

Freya:”did you really just knock on your own door?”

Malachi:”hey you could’ve been doing something I didn’t want to see.”

Freya:”okay what did you need.”

Malachi:”kaylee and mk left, I think something is going on between them.”

Freya:”oh so you’re now just noticing.”

Malachi:”I don’t like your attitude today.”

Freya:”who’s that little boy in all the pictures?”

Malachi:”it’s no one.”

Freya:”Right so you just have 10 pictures of you with him scattered around your room for no reason, got it.”

Malachi:”you should leave.”

Freya:”why won’t you tell me who it is.”

Malachi:”I don’t want to talk about it right now Frey.”

🎭Part 4- “RAIN CLOUD.”

It’s 2 days before the play, they’ve gotten pretty much everything down. Only problem is, Malachis sick. Of course. Right before the play, if he isn’t better in the next 2 days they’re going to have to use his replacement. Nobody wants that. This is Malachis dream role, If someone else got this part, it would just be wrong. Plus they finally got everything down, having someone new would just complicate things. Freya goes to check up on Malachi. After the party he’s the last person she wants to see, but she’s nice, so she goes to his dorm to go check on him.

Freya’s pov:

I go to Malachis dorm to make sure he’s still okay to do our play. After last night, I should be wishing death upon him. But we’re too far into this play for him to die. I get to his dorm with kaylee, I was expecting Malachi to answer the door but shocker Mk answered it.

Mk:”MALALCHI your girlfriend’s here with her friend.”

Malachi&Freya:”WERE NOT DATING.”

Mk:”chill chill I’m just joking.”

Freya:”Move.”

Mk:”someone’s feisty.”

Freya:”YOU were fine yesterday, how the hell did you get sick.” I say walking in mad

Kaylee:”calm down freya.”

Malachi:”Woahhh you still mad at me Skye?”

Freya:”OF COURSE IM MAD AT YOU.”

Malachi:”okay i deserve that.”

Kaylee:”Mk we should probably leave.”

Mk:”let’s go get some food.”

Freya:”omg you’re actually unbelievable.”

Malachi:”okay stop pacing around the room and take a chill pill.”

Freya:”you do realize we’re supposed to perform in front of hundreds of people in 2 days.”

Malachi:”yeah that’s still 2 days, I’ll be fine.”

Freya:”you don’t know that:”

Malachi:”yes I do, now stop stressing and go make me food.”

Freya:”Not with that attitude.”

Malachi:”Freya just go make me food if you want me to do this play with you.”

Freya:”NO I’m not your servant.”

Malachi:”oh I actually hate you.”

Freya:”mhm yeah feelings mutual.”

It’s later now and Freya and Malachi are just watching tv waiting for mk and kaylee to be back from getting dinner.

Freya:”Do you think-“

Malachi:”All the time. I’m a good thinker, you know.”

Freya:”That’s not what I was meaning. Do you think-“

Malachi:”Yep-“

Freya:”Will you quit that, I’m trying to ask you something.”

Malachi:”Ask away.”

Freya:”Thank you.”

Malachi:”You’re welcome.”

Freya:”ugh! Now i forgot what I was going to say!”

Malachi smirks.

Freya:”Quit smirking at me, I’m serious!”

Malachi:”I’m not smirking!”

Freya:”Well, stop laughing at me.”

Malachi:”I’m not laughing!”

Freya:”Well quit whatever it is you’re doing.”

Malachi:”This is me with a cherry disposition; A ray of sunshine in the mist of bleakness. Don’t put a cloud over my sunshine.”

Freya:”It’s an excuse to laugh at me.”

Malachi:”RAIN CLOUD!”
