Enemies with Benefits - KiKi XoXo (list of ebook readers .TXT) 📗

is working with Mrs. Oliver on choreography for her solo. Taking the oportunity I watch, listenig to her sing through the song and do the moves slowly making sure she is doing everything correctly. Then she starts at the beginning, singing through the whole song and doing all of the moves. Her song "I Wont Say (I'm in Love)" is very up beat and very well put together. I can't help but smile as she goes through all the waves of emotions the song has in it.  Her character Meg, is trying to convince herself she isn't in love with Herecules, and that she has already been heartbroken once and she doesn't want to go through it again. At the end of the song she does admit it to herself that she does love him, she just doesn't admit it to anyone else.

 

She stands up smiling at Mrs. Olivers applaud, and then she spots me standing in the back. Her cheeks turn pink, and she walks off the stage slowly. I walk down the isle, towards the center stage. Mrs. Oliver stops me a moment and talks to me about working on one of my scenes. Actually one with Paige in it. Not even really the whole scene just a part in the scene where I'm supposed to be a little grabby with her. 

 

"Let me see that part of the scene." She says, and Paige gets back on stage. We run through the couple lines , before that part. It's the scene where Herecules finds out Meg was just doing what Hades was telling her too. I'm supposed to seem like I have control of her and that she was lying to him the whole time.  "Okay.. now I need you to wrap one arm around her waist." I do as I am told. Not arguing at all. I don't mind. "Then Paige, I need your hands against his chest trying to push him away..." She does as she is told as well. "Now Jake say you line." 

 

I say my line, and half way through she stops me. 

 

"Okay, now right there I want you to pause. Look at her, which she is still trying to get out of your grip." She pauses thinking about it more. "Okay.. I want you to move her hair away from her face... which will be easier to do when it's styled she'll have bangs. Now lets go from the beginning." So we run through it twice and she applauds. Once she lets us go, I want to talk to her. Now people are here, and she walks away towards the exit door. I scan the room, seeing Robbie and he is staring after her. They are supposed to have their kiss scene aced. From what I heard though they were having issues. Giving her a minute alone, I follow aftr her. Hoping no one notices. I look down each  hall for her, but I don't see her she must've went to the bathroom. I go back inside, and take a seat. She comes back in a minute later, and we all get told to get in our costumes. We all scurry off getting into our costumes. I actually lik mine, I was scared at first because in the cartoon version he is in a dress, but Mrs. Oliver changed it up. It's now black pants and greek like top, that's black as well. It's not the worst costume either. I have to say Pegasus or Phil would be the worst or most embrassing, but the horse one is pretty cool too. 

 

When Paige come in she has her hair up and everything, only thing missing is the makeup. Holy shit.  Her dress, is unbelievable. It's gorgeous, even a bit showy. She looks amazing all the time though, it's just seeing her in a dress is nice. She isn't a very dress up like girl. Nice pair of jeans and a nice shirt. That's all she really needs though, she has a natural beauty to her. I notice though as she is walking in, she is holding something in the back of the dress. Zipper. I stand up nonchalantly, and casually walk towards. I want to ask her a question anyways. It even has something to do with the musical. 

 

"I have a question." I state, and she looks up at me.

 

"Um, okay." She says, and I can see the struggle in her eyes about zipping the dress. 

 

"I can zip it if you need me too." I sigh, and her face flushes. I reach around removing her hand and zipping it up the rest of the way. "Now, I was wondering if you okay with the way Mrs. Oliver told us to do the scence?" 

 

"You aren't?" she raises an eyebrow at me. 

 

"I'm perfect ly happy with it.. even more then happy with it." I smirk, she shakes her head trying not to smile. "I'm asking about you." I say take a tiny inch step closer. 

 

"I can't complain." She replies, and then turns on her heels and walks away. I watch as she walks towards the back curtain to go wait behind it. Taking a breath I follow, and practice begins. We run through the whole enitre thing, and then we all sit and listen to the notes Mrs. Oliver took about things we need to work on and fix. 

 

"Paige and Robbie, your kiss was perfect!" She ends, on a good note. For her at least. I look at Paige, wondering what happened. I wasn't able to see the kiss, I had to be back stage. Her face is expressionless, and she seems to be off in space.  "Alright thats a wrap everyone, change out of your costumes and be sure to hang them up properly. I go and change out of my costume, and come back in. I see Paige is still in here and still in hers. She is talking with Mrs. Oliver, I look away going to my book bag. Trying to not listen. But I do catch couple things here and there, and it seems that Mrs. Oliver wants Paige, do actually dance in her solo instead of just the little choreography they have. 

 

"A birdie told me you were wonderful, and I want to see it!" Mrs. Oliver says. 

 

"A birdie?" She asks. 

 

"I over heard Mr. Parker and Mr. Lincoln talking about it.." she admit and Paige doesn't look pleased. "Chop chop I want it figured out by the end of the week."  Then she lets Paige go, and the bell rings signally first period. I head out the doors, and peek down the hall. I stop seeing Paige and Robbie talking, but it looks heated. They're fighting. I can't hear what they're saying, but from here I can tell neither of them is happy with the other. Robbie shakes his head, and steps away, and without a word to her he walks away. I look away as if I wasn't watching, and once Robbie is far enough away I make my move. I walk towards her, as she stares off after Robbie. 

 

"Boyfriend mad at you?" I ask, testing the waters. 

 

"He isn't m boyfriend!" She grits, "Unzip my dress please." She says turning around, and moving her hair. I do as I am told, and she turns back towards me. "Thanks." Then she goes into the locker room. I don't wait for her, I decide that probably wouldn't be a good idea. I go to my first period class, wondering what is was her and Robbie were fighting about.

Chapter 29- Routine

Paige's POV

 

I go through the whole entire day, moping around. Robbie and I at odds with each other about multiple different things, Carmen and I haven't been the same since her and Wyatt got together, and I'm slowly loosing my mind falling for Jake Lincoln. Even Mr. Parker's class is boring, I'm just not in the mood for anything. He even asks me if I'm still not feeling good, since he was th one who stopped by yesterday  to see if I was okay or not. I tell him I'm just tired which isn't a lie. I am tired. Not sleepy tired, but just tired of all the drama that seems to be around me at the moment. 

 

Robbie is still complaining about the kiss, even though Mrs. Oliver said it was fine. He thinks, that I'm being childish about it, maybe I am, but for me it's just weird to kiss him. He also hasn't completely gotten over me tutoring Jake, and it's making him jealous. Even though I've told him nothing is going on I'm just tutoring him. That is a total lie, but he doesn't know that for sure. I would prefer he not know anyways. I don't want anyone knowing what's happened between Jake and I until Jake and I figured it out ourselves. I personally don't want anyone knowing anything, but if Jake and I end up a couple... then people will find out. I don't want a secret relationship. I don't know what he thinks though. 

 

"Paige? Have you heard a word I have said?" Mr. Parker asks, pulling me from my thoughts. 

 

"No.. I'm sorry." I say, sitting up straight and looking at th board. Get with it Easton, you've got school and that is more important. I pay extra close attention the rest of class, making sure to take thorough notes. Once class is over, I grab things for Jake's session, and I go to the library. He comes in a couple minutes later, and I can see homework is the last thing he wants to be doing. Before he can launch into any long conversations that could make me cry or make me mad, I begin explaining the worksheet.  He sits next to me letting out a sigh. He goes through the work, and it seems we're finished in only thirty minutes. I already have my things all put away and ready to go, that way I can make a clean and quick escape. "Alright... see you tomorrow." I say, going for the door. I don't want to have this conversation. It's gonna break my heart! 

 

"We need to talk about this!" He says grabbing me, his eyes burning with desire and need. 

 

"I can't keep doing this." I say, "We both know what happens now that you've gotten what you wanted.. just let it be."

 

"Paige, I can't just let it be." He says, pulling me in closer. 

 

"Why not!?" I say looking up at him. "I don't know what you want from me, or if you even want anything from me! I think... we need some space... to figure things out." I finish, he lets go of my arm. I turn and leave, he has nothing to say. Sitting in my car at my dorms parking lot I decide what I should do. I don't have homework, other then drama. I ned to create the dance. Throwing my bag on the floor I change into proper dance attire, and go to the gym. Playing the song on my phone through the speakers, I listen tryingto figure out how to really make a dance for it. I have to be able to sing it while dancing too, so it can't be to difficult. I try a
