Love, Lies, and Loyalty: A Teens' Love Triangle

Chapter Thirty Five

After concluding their project, Mrs. Brown acted up again. Praising the dynamic and complexity of their presentation and how much of an impactful message it had. She appreciated how they tweaked it and corresponded it to the reality of now compared to then. One again, she was amazed.

Next Team Sinking Lover.... That should be Amelia and Mason.

Amelia's POV
I stood behind stage and gave Oliver a fist bump from how perfectly he handled their project. He is a great thinker for making this work. Next, after the judges discussed it would me my time to go with Mason. I named up sinking lover because it fits the entire theme of the Titanic.

I looked at the time in my phone. Mason still isn't here... Is he going to ditch me? Time seemed to tick by faster now.

"Next!" The theater arts Teacher yelled and I looked at the dresser once more to make sure I was ready. I wore the Rose's costume and even tied my hair into the bum she had in the movie

I took the poem in the paper and walked onto stage. Mrs. Brown watched me and raised an eyebrow wondering where my partner was. This is bad, not only did Mason refuse to practice the scene with me even once, he didn't show up. Bye bye 40% of my grades.

"Miss Amelia, isn't something missing?" Mrs. Brown asked "Don't disappoint me, I looked forward to this"

I took deep breaths. Has all my practice gone in vain? I spent a good amount of time practicing my part to perfection in case Mason changed his mind. If I knew this would happen, I would have spent that time studying for SAT. Great, just great

"Do you love em?" I heard Mason's voice and saw him, he had Jack's costume on too, thank the stars. I couldn't be happier he showed up

"Pardon me?" I acted looking clueless almost like Rose did

"Do you love him?" Wow, Mason really knows how to act that well. The way he looked at me... Felt too real

"You're being very rude... You shouldn't be asking me this" I stared a him

"We it's a simple question, do you love the guy or not?" His eyes bored too intently into my soul, I almost broke character

I scoffed "this is not a suitable conversation"

"Why can't you just answer the question?" He squinted his eyes and had a slight smile as he spoke

I started laughing and walked few steps away from him placing my hand on my forehead and turning around to face him as he followed slowly

"This is absurd!" I took my hand off my forehead and eyed him "you don't know me and I don't you and we are not having this conversation at all"

I looked around "you are rude and and uncouth and presumptuous and I am leaving now" I said those lines with passion mainly because I meant it and wanted to say it to his face even if i was acting it. Something tells me he knows I meant it. I brought out my hand and shook his "Jack, Mr Dawson, it's been a pleasure. I sought you out to thank you now I have thanked you..." I kept shaking his hand as his eyes gazes I wildly at mine "and..."

"And you've insulted me" he smiled as he kept shaking my hand

"Well you deserved it" our hands were still together

"Right" he nodded his head once

"Right..." I nodded my head too watching our hands still in the longest handshake to probably ever exist.

Our handshake lasted a few more seconds just like in the scene and right on time I scoffed again looking in his eyes as he gazed down at our hands and back at me

"I thought you were leaves" he smiled

"Ah... I am" I disconnected our hands and turned around to leave giving a thrilled expression that Rose had in the scene and halted. Turning round to face 'Jack' who still stood watching me "you are so annoying!" I tuned around and started walked as he laughed with a haha but then I stopped and made an expression of realization "wait! I don't have to leave, this is my part of the ship" I walked back to him "you leave!" I pointed to the exist

"Uho ho ho" he laughed "well well well, now who's being rude?" He asked taking a slight step back

I paused, looked at him and paused, with my mouth slightly open I liked away, scoffed and snatched the book he had by his side all this while "what is this stupid thing you're carrying round"

I acted like I was looking at the book and CUT! that was it! It's done. Finally! Mason and I faced the crowd and bowed

"Bravo! Bravo!" Mrs. Brown praised loudly as the crowd cheered "Perfectly done!" She went on "Miss Amelia, you've outdone yourself and athletic guy... Mason! You were fantastic!" She went on using more words of praise and finally settled down "your side project"

I opened the paper I had and handed it over to Mrs. Brown. I lied to her saying it was a poem I and Mason wrote and I'll be reciting it for us. She bought it well and placed the paper in her records then waited for me to start the recitation

"Forbidden fruit" I began
