We were still looking into each other's eyes. The boy's look was different. I've never experienced something like that before. His deep pupils forced me to look at them, and his mysterious, expressionless iris wanted me to search for whatever he had on his mind. All the emotions he was hiding and has never exposed. I wanted to know what he's thinking about, but my brain couldn't read anything. 

After all, I gave up and let my head rapidly fall down and now I was looking at the top of my shoes.

Fascinating, right? 

"I'm  y/n, hi," I answered after a while, which actually felt like a thousand years. And I bet he felt the same.  

He never took his eyes off of me. He was still standing there with a flirtatious smirk on his face.

"Well, I guess you're here for the audition." 

"Good guess I would say. For the main role," I looked up and raised my eyebrows.

"So let's hope I'll get the role because I want to be Haemon" He bit his lip "I want to be a Haemon if the girl who stands in front of me will be Antigone." 

It's not like I'm shy or anything but I blushed. I can't take compliments at all. It's the worst I swear.

"You know it includes dying, right?"

"A least we can die together." He looked me deeply in the eyes again.

"Then good luck on the stage, Louis." 

I said these words with a blink while walking away from him. I found myself a place to sit and then I just waited. Actually, we all were waiting. I could feel the tense atmosphere in the room. Everyone was so nervous, except Louis, of course. He was now sitting on the other side of the room and again, he looked at me. I could feel his stare because I thought he was burning my skin with it. I sought all my best to stay focused on revising my script, but all of a sudden I lost control of my mind and all my thought started to collide with each other causing an intense headache. 

And I know what... Actually, who made me be like that.

I found my painkillers on a backpack I brought with me and swallowed one of them as fast as I could. I knew he was still looking, but now I decided to just close my eyes and breathe. 

"Breathe y/n. Breathe in... Breathe out. Exactly like that." He said while touching my arm.

I didn't pull back. I stayed in the same position I was in. I was frozen, still looking at the same point. I didn't even blink.

He stood behind me a softly touched my second arm.

A single tear dropped out of my eye and started running down my cheek. 

"I have to go, princess." 

And he left. He closed the door and now I was alone again. Still frozen. Still didn't feel anything. My arms were both cold, but I could feel them burning.

"Hello everyone! I think it's time to start our audition." I opened my eyes rapidly when I heard a woman's voice. 

She explained the whole process and as it turned out they will be reading names from the list and then you just have to go on stage and do what you can do best. Act.

Two hours later I left the theatre with a smile on my face. The audition went AMAZING, and I'm pretty sure I'll get the role. I also stayed to watch Louis' performance and I'd lie if I tell you he's bad. He's really good, and I think I may get the role he wanted as well. I don't know if it is great, because I'd be working with a really talented actor or, quite the opposite, the worst thing that might happen to me. 

I hated that even If I barely know him, he's the one who causes goosebumps on my skin and chills that could come out of sudden. And that occurred every time we looked in each other's eyes. We were like a magnet. Mutual attraction. But it just has been happening since the first time we met. I've never been able to look into someone's eyes until I met him. His eyes were... safe? Maybe that's too much to say after knowing somebody for only one day, but I knew that I'm entirely safe when he's looking at me. Even if his look is numb and I can't read any emotions from it. That's what intrigues me the most. I want to explore every single nook of his deep brown eyes. It always felt like time stopped and everyone all around disappeared. Just like heaven. 

Or hell.

I decided to go to the park just to breathe some more fresh air. I was so stressed that I must've looked like a death warmed up. I went to the other side of the street and few steps later my shoes touched the grass. I immediately found myself a bench to just sit and watch little kids playing with each other and dogs that were having fun with their owners. I enjoyed that view a lot. I could hear birds singing and the rustle of trees, which was making me calm. The weather has changed a lot since the morning. It was really sunny and warm now, so I took off my jacket and looked at the bright blue sky. Spring never fails. 

And of course him. He was the first thing I saw when I turned my head to my right. All his friends were laughing when he said something. I looked at them for a while more and recognized one of them. The boy was called Matthew. Matthew Hamilton precisely. Ugh, I hated this person with my whole heart. It's not like I had a lot to do with him but he was just conceited, stupid and thought he was always right. He's one year older, though, but once I had to do a school project with him. It ended up that I've done the whole thing and we got a good grade but I swear to god, I don't know any more annoying person.

Finally, they realized that I was watching them and the other boy who was there just pointed at me with his finger so they turned their eyes at me. Does he even know that pointing is inappropriate behaviour? Educate yourself Mr. whoever you think you are. 

They started whispering but Louis only stared at me with his emotionless eyesight. It seemed that he wasn't interested in any conversations anymore. Once again I tried to solve his mysterious look, but it was pointless. I felt like he's trying to tell me something with his eyes, even if they were empty, so I raised one of my eyebrows and after a while, he stepped back and made a gesture with his hand which was meant to show the other two boys that it's time to go. The whole trio turned around and I could feel that Matt and the other unknown boy were looking questioningly at Louis but he didn't care.

Well, I'd never say Louis may hang out with such people. Matthew's reputation isn't the best since he was chased by police countless times. Or that's just what people say. I also saw him at the party one time, and he's definitely a party animal. YES, I go to parties sometimes, don't you dare think I'm that boring, shy girl. I'm the actual opposite. 

Anyways, that was not the best company for a boy like him and I was wondering how he got to know them, but he doesn't seem like a guy who's going to open up to anyone. I think I should stay away from him for my own safety. 

Nothing can go wrong, right?
