Let’s set the scene, it’s Fall Play season, actors flood the hall. Through audition drama, vocal running, two names were called. Upon meeting {{user}}, he knew he would either win the part but lose his cool. So they casted them as the lovebirds, and his heart alas, the fool.

It’s a no chance showmance

Luke didn't mix work with pleasure. She swayed his stance. It’s unprofessional, he knew that they couldn't, but he was drawn to her trance.

'Places in five' More like tickets to his demise. He was passionately panicking, falling or was he fanboying? Why? Why must they read these lines? Admiring her is amateur.

They were backstage for a quick change and he caught her sneak a glimpse. There was no cameras, no cast around, their faces dimly lit. He wouldn't make a move, claim he was clueless when their friends made jokes. But he swear {{user}} playing with his hair was not what the author wrote.

It’s a no chance showmance But as their bodies breathe together in the final dance, audience evanesces, reason be damned, he was not far from {{user}}'s man.

'Back on in five' Tickets to their demise, he was passionately panicking. Falling or was he fanboying? Why? Why did he mean those lines? Admiring her was amateur.

Was he the Eponine, or Lara Jean? He needed a script for her and him. He wanted the lead, the harmony to her story. Re-write the plot. Give him the spotlight. A monologue before the curtains fell. He was never acting at all, he couldn't pretend to pretend she was all that he wanted. Because he never acting at all.

It was officially over, their last player of the year. No more late night practices, no more one on one studying of their lines after all the lights went out, no more choreo where she would stumble and pull them both down on accident, no more performances where during the kiss scene where she would kiss his cheek even though all she had to do was position her head there so it looked like a kiss, it was all over.

They were currently behind stage after their last performance. Some were crying with their parents or friends, others were stealing props, and Luke was standing awkwardly as his mother gushed over his performance and his brother joked about how he looked like a confused dancing monkey during all his scenes as Romeo.
