(Btw, Rudiger is a human in this. Forgot to mention that-)

Varian and Rudiger stood outside the auditorium, where play rehearsal supposedly met. Varian reached out towards the doorknob, just lightly grazing it before pulling his hand back.

"Heh, guess evolution's not for everyone..." he joked, sheepishly, referring to the 'news' his friend had mentioned earlier.

"You don't have to do this. Of course, I'll mock you forever if you don't." Rudiger teased him, bumping Varian's arm with his elbow. Varian nodded, resolutely.
(bbf: Rudiger is such a mood)

"C-c-c- C'mon, c-c-c- C'mon! Go, go! C-c-c- C'mon, c-c-c- C'mon! Go-"

He opened the door swiftly, only to see that (Y/n) was already at her seat. He changed the last "Go" in his chant to a "Yo" in an attempt to seem less awkward, but it didn't help a bit.

"...Yo," (Y/n) replied nonchalantly. Rudiger, who had been standing behind Varian in the door, pushed his friend all the way inside the room and left.

"Is this where you meet for the play?" Varian asked, hesitantly.

"Nope. This is where you meet for the swim team." (Y/n) answered jokingly. Varian didn't seem to get the sarcasm of the statement, and turned to leave, feeling embarrassed.

"I'm joking." (Y/n) quickly added, causing Varian to turn around. He felt even more embarrassed now, but (Y/n) didn't seem to make a big deal of it, which made him feel a bit better.

"Oh, well, I'm Varian," he said, trying to make a joke, but failing miserably. He blushed even more so, "I mean..."

"Are you okay?" (Y/n) questioned. Varian's only reply was muttered confusion. He was so embarrassed at this point that he couldn't even get words out, which only made him more embarrassed.

"You seem nervous."

"No, I, uh, I always..." Varian stuttered, and was about to stop his sentence because he knew it sounded dumb, but he finished it anyways, "Sweat...this...much..."
(Good going, Var... *insert disappointed face*)
(bbf: We're disappointed mothers*sigh*)

"I get it. You're a virgin." (Y/n) said abruptly, throwing Varian off guard. "First play rehearsal!"

"Oh! You think I'm nervous about play rehearsal!" Varian said as he mentally sighed with relief.

"Why else would you be shaking?" she looked him up and down, "A lot?"

Varian laughed nervously as he sat down in a seat a couple away from the girl, "Yeah, totally freaked."

"It's okay. I'm a little jealous actually." she said, leaning slightly closer, "You never forget your first. Play rehearsal. Coming here is the highlight-"

"Of your day?" Varian tried finishing the sentence for the girl.

"Yeah right," (Y/n) slightly scoffed, "Of my life!" she exclaimed, "I love play rehearsal because it's the best!" she squealed a bit, then said in a more serious tone, "Because it is fun. I love play rehearsal, and I get depressed as soon as it's done..." she said with a frown, but then quickly the frown vanished, "But not depressed, as in like, kill yourself depressed. No, I'm not into self-harm. Dude, I swear, here check my arm," she said, about to roll up her sleeve, but Varian made a motion that seemed to say 'it's okay, I don't need to check-'.
(bbf: Varian is super uncomfortable XD, we love Y/n)

"See, I just use the word to emphasize a point, show the passion I've got. I am passionate a lot."

Varian had kind of guessed that already.

"I have mad, gigantic feelings," she continued as she got up out of her seat and twirled, "Red and frantic feelings about most everything, like gun control, like spring. Like if I'm living up to all I'm meant to be. I also have a touch of ADD." she said, jumping into the seat next to Varian and placing a hand on one of his shoulders. She spaced out for a second.

"Where was I?" she asked. The boy started to answer, but (Y/n) cut him off, "Oh, right! I love play rehearsal 'cause you are equipped with directions and text. Life is easy in rehearsal. You follow a script so you know what comes next."

(Y/n) then realized that she had been talking a long time. This often happened, and she always felt a tinge of pity for the unfortunate person who had gotten caught up in her rambling.

"Anywho, the point that I'm getting to is sometimes life can't work out in the way it works out in the play." she sighed, "Like the only time I get to be the center of attention," she stood up in front of the chairs, striking poses, "Is when I'm Juliet or Blanche DuBois, and can I mention? That was really one of my best roles. Did you see that? I was incredibly commanding, I think. It made me feel like there just aren't strong roles for women in theater these days, particularly high school theater. Do you find that? Because I totally find that."
(bbf: I find that too girl)

Varian started to reply, but before he could get a syllable out, (Y/n) started up again.

"And no matter how hard I try," she spun around, dramatically, "It's impossible to narrow down the many reasons why-y-y-y," she said, doing a small dance, "I love play rehearsal! I happiness cry whenever it starts. It's just so universal, getting to try playing so many parts! Most humans do one thing for all of their lives. The thought of that gives me hives," she said, cringing. Varian gave a small laugh.

"I've got so many interests I wanna pursue-" she cut herself off, "And why am I telling this to you? Guess there's a part of me that wants to."

"Really?!" Varian questioned with hope.

"There's also a part of me that wants to do this." she then made a crazy weird noise that sounded like a walrus mixed with a dying cow and a dolphin, "So I did it!"
(bbf: *insert me laughing like a dying pig*)

Varian was really confused and didn't say anything.

"Back to play rehearsal," (Y/n) said, more calmly, "My brain is like 'Bzzz', My heart is like 'Wow'! Because we're here at play rehearsal, and it's starting, we're starting, it's starting..." she paused, "Soon.... oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo~"
