I internally groaned, reading the cast list. At the very top of the list, in bold letters, were my name and the name of my best friend, who I just so happened to have a huge crush on.

Normally, being cast together as leads would have been great, but for this play, it was horrible. This play was titled Kiss And Tell, and was the story of two high school friends who fall for each other and share a kiss at the end of the play.

"Hey, Addie! Did they put the list up yet?" My best friend, tall, dark haired, blue-eyed, muscular, Mason Thomas shouted to me down the hall in his deep voice.

"Yeah. And we got cast as the leads!" I tried to declare in an excited voice, but failed miserably and came off as annoyed.

"This will be fun! I've always wanted to do a play with my best friend." Mason smiled that charming grin of his, his perfect white teeth showing. "Aren't you excited, Ad?"

"Of course I am." I lied through my teeth, desperately trying to not come off as disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it was awesome that I was the lead, but now I'd have to kiss my longtime crush and I still hadn't even told him I liked him. Ugh!

With each rehersal leading up to shownight, my nervousness grew and grew. I had, thankfully convinced Mason to not do any kissing until the actual show, but it was growing difficult considering how into our character parts we were getting. Not to mention, we always had natural chemistry between the two of us.

"I can't take this anymore, Angelique." Mason called me by my character name. "I can't hold it back anymore."

The handsome male was such a good actor, I felt as if he were actually telling me his feelings.

"Hold what back, Greggory?" His character had such a generic name in my opinion.

Mason took my face between his hands gently, his thumb stroking my right cheek. "I think it would be better if I showed you."

"Show me wh-" This would have been the part where he kissed me, but instead he pulled back and smiled.

"Alright. I think we have it downpact. We'll be ready for opening night tomorrow." Reality sunk in at Mason's words.

I couldn't stop it from happening anymore. Tomorrow the real kiss would happen.

The stage lights beamed down on us brightly, the entire audience being able to see us perfectly.

"I can't take this anymore, Angelique." This was it. "I can't hold it back anymore."

"Hold what back, Greggory?" I felt my cheeks heating up before he even placed his hands against them.

"I think it would be better if I showed you." I closed my eyes as his lips pressed against my own, butterflies dancing in my stomach.

"I like you too, Addie. . ." Mason whispered after the kiss ended and my eyes widened. This whole time he knew?
