Gina's POV
This was it. The act one run through!

Was I nervous? Was I excited? My most difficult scenes physically aren't in act one, but they aren't easy either.

There were still some more emotionally draining scenes in the first act, for my character at least.

I'm channeling my fifteen and part of my sixteen year old self for this show. Anne wants Phillip so bad, but feels she could never have him. I felt that way about Ricky for so long. I didn't have the same reasons, but I still did feel that way.

It's still hard sometimes.

But I know he loves me.

"Hey, Gi." Val approached me.

"Hi, Val. What's up?"

"So, I was talking with Maddox, and we decided that we would really love your input on Anne's makeup, and especially hair since you understand it so well."

"Oh." I blushed. "Sorry. That just- that means a lot, I've never really been given that opportunity before. I mean, I've been in two movies, and had white hair and makeup people all around me. So, um, just thank you."

"Oh, Gina." Val quickly encased me in a hug.

"What?" I heard myself sniff.

"Gina, you're crying."

"It's all from joy, I promise."

"Hey, Gina- Woah, what happened?" Ricky.

"Nothing to worry about, Ricky. The world's gonna get better. Little by little."

Ricky's POV
I smiled softly at my girlfriend.

She was right. The world has improved, but not as much as people say it has. Especially not as much as they say it has in America!

I thought of an idea. Then I pulled out my bucket list, yes I still have it, and flipped it to the back. On the back I jotted down something to look up on YouTube for when we got back from camp.

(What do you guys think it it? I want to know what your guesses are!)

"And that's all for today, guys! Good work, please study at least the next two scenes a bit before going to sleep tonight, and we'll see you all tomorrow for act two blocking!" EJ wrapped up rehearsal,  and we were off for the day.

Gina's POV
I noticed Ricky rushing off as soon as rehearsal ended. Usually we would hangout, or he would at least say bye and he loves me and what he was going to go do.

Maybe I was too much.

Maybe I'm overbearing.

Maybe I talk to much.

Maybe I'm too clingy.

I've tried to do the things that he wants, being a bit younger than him, but maybe now I'm asking for too much for him.

Maybe I'll just give him some space.

Sorry for the short chapter. Love you all so much! Hopefully one or two more chapters this weekend, school's been busy!
