Well, I'll be damned.

The Saints were definitely punishing me. Not because I had something against Tina, who just decided to show up, but because I was still too shy to speak to her. I successfully managed to avoid her for almost all the year and now, here she was. No excuses now.

"Tina! I'm, uh, fine, how are you?" I hid my hands on my pockets, suddenly having no idea of what to do with my own limbs. Why were they sweating? Why was I so nervous? She's just an actress.

But she's not just an actress. She's way more than that. She's the Matilda who made me love the production. The girl who inspired me and made me love theatre. The one who made me think 'If she can do it, so can I'.

So, for once in my life, I forced myself to stay still, stop sweating and shivering and act normal.

"Nice outfit. You look very pretty today, Tina." The compliment escaped my lips before even planning on it, and my face went red in an instant. Just then, I decided to look at the trees. They were quite interesting right now, if you really thought about it. Very... tall and green and all.

Reducio OOC NOTES Fun fact: Naughty is actually my favorite song from Matilda irl Coded by Melissa Blake

Holy Saints.

Holy. Saints.

She was doing the thing. Naughty. One of my favorite songs from Matilda.

Just humming. As if it was nothing. I mean, yeah, obviously it was nothing for her. Muscle memory, at this point.

Unconsciously, my mind traveled to my room. Not the one at the common room, not the one at Hogwarts. My room, the one at London. The one with the old door that only closed if you pressed it at a exact zone. The first door at the left of the stairs. The one that, in the wall beside my bed, held lots of posters.

The Matilda poster, signed by her.

I smiled, slowly, and shyly, I joined the melody, too.

"... You might as well be saying you think that it's okay, and that's not right."

I continued with a low mutter, and we sang it together until the song ended and we fell into a strange, awkward silence.

Now or never, Hendricks. You can do this. I took a very deep breath as I tried to order the words in my mind.

"I-uh, I think I need to confess you something." I finally managed to say as my eyes fell into the grass, that suddenly seemed very interesting now.

"I saw you before. At the West End, I mean. In Matilda." The words came low and very fast, I'm not sure she actually heard me. My cheeks were red now and I shut my eyes closed, hoping for the moment to end up.

My eyes widened and I sat up straighter. She knew the song! Mika knew the song! I was so excited. Maybe there was someone who loved musicals just as much as me! I continued drawing, blending in the sun rays to make it look more natural. ” And if its not right. You have to put it right...” I continued. We chimed in together and finished the song. Then Mika confessed that she saw me on West End. I don’t know how this made me feel. I looked over at Mika. She seemed so nice and she seemed like she actually liked me. But she seemed like she genuinely didn’t only like me for my title. Mika was sweating and blushing. ” Mika that's so cool! When did you see me? Are you SURE it was me. We do rotations you know.” I said lighting up hoping Mika would break out of whatever trance she was in. I wasn’t breathing whist talking. Typical me. I forgot about the drawing for a moment. I was peeking at her with a curious look. I slowed down a bit. ” Is that why you’re always nervous around me? I assure you. I’m way too average for that.” I said feeling each word roll off my tongue. This was getting into a strange interaction.

I blinked slowly. Well, that didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would.

"I- well, it was years ago. And yes, I'm sure it was you." Somehow, with a speed and ability that surprised even myself, I managed to stop my tongue from talking any more. It was not a good moment to tell her I had her poster, right? I'd sound a bit... too crazy for that.

No, I had to find a way to tell her that without sounding like a creepy fan.

'Way too average for that.'

No. Oh, Saints knew she wasn't.

Ironic, considering that right now, she was pretty close to becoming one of them. And yes, I may have blushed a bit more, if that was possible, when she mentioned the way my behavior changed around her. I mean, yes, that was exactly the reason, but I was too proud to admit it aloud.

I shook my head slowly, trying to make sense to the words of my mind.

"You're everything but average, Tina. You're... amazing and talented and- you inspire everything and everyone around you, even if you don't notice it sometimes."

You can tell perfectly that I had no idea why I was saying all this stuff. Maybe because I actually meant it.

"... You inspired me." I muttered so low I didn't think she heard me.

Well, at least that didn't go as bad as I thought it would. I was still breathing, and Tina was still here. A win is a win, I guess.

And of course it would not change a thing. Why would it? I was just another fan. It's still weird to think we're both here. Now.

She offered me candies. Of course she did. She wouldn't be herself if she hadn't done it.

I nodded, silently, and took the chew.

"Of course it won't change a thing, Tina. We're still seeing each other next year, right?" I laughed, trying to make a joke from all of this.

"So tell me, how is it? The theater life. Is it as cool as it seems to be? Are there really crazy fans out there?"

Now that I had the chance, I wouldn't let go so easily. Tina was the closest I'd ever be to the West End, and if I had the chance to know how their life was, I was not willing to throw away my shot.

I'd probably overwhelm her with my questions, but I always wanted to know how their life was. If they were actually as happy as they seemed to be on stage, or what kind of difficulties they had to face to get their roles.
