false confidence. [original]

FC : 29

The next week, it was weird that Sean and Natalie started hanging out again by the library, talking about random things, trying not to bring out the past.

Natalie couldn't help but almost felt like she was in love with him all over again. To be honest, she hasn't been able to move on from him.

Sean was just that perfect guy you could ever ask for. He was kind, smart, talented, caring. But the way he cares too much and how he looks and smiles at you felt like he loves you.

Natalie was trying her best not to fall for him all over again, thinking what happened in the past between him and her.

The past where she felt so heartbroken and used. He was her first love and heartbreak and firsts are always hard to forget.

So remembering that, she always puts boundaries, trying to protect herself from being hurt again.

" Hey." Cassie greeted her friends." Hey Cassie." They all greeted." No classes today, everyone's practicing for tonight." Oliver said.

" What song are you performing?" Liv asked. " Oh, I'm not singing tonight." Cassie said.

" Why not?" Oliver asked. " I just don't feel like it. And I'm just gonna go and assist everyone backstage. " Cassie said.

" Oh, ok. Let's go to the music room to practice. We already told Principal Albi that we're using it. Cause the Auditorium was already taken by Natalie." Max said.

" Where's Liam? " Cassie asked." He's with Natalie, cause He's going to play the guitar for her. " Liv said.

Cassie just nodded. Meanwhile with Natalie, she was practicing the song with Liam.

" I think that will do." Natalie told Liam." You're a very fast learner. " Natalie said.
" I mean the chords you gave me was pretty easy." Liam said.

" I just want to say something." Liam said." Go on." Natalie said. " Why does the lyrics sounds oddly familiar? "Liam asked.

" Because I wrote it based on experience." Natalie said." Are you going to post it on youtube, Natalie? "Liam asked.

" Yes and don't worry, you'll be on the credits." Natalie said." Thank you. I'll go check on Liv and the others. I'll be back in a few minutes. " Liam said.

" Take your time. " Natalie said before Liam left. She sighed and sat down by the piano and just started playing and humming.

She heard the door in the auditorium opened so she looked at that direction.
" Auditorium today is closed for me only so what are you doing here?" Natalie asked.

" Just came by to see how are you doing." He said. " Uhm... Fine?? I guess." Natalie said.

" What song are you playing by the piano?" He asked going up to the stage joining Natalie.

" None of your Business, Sean. " Natalie said." Can I sit?" Sean asked referring to the sit next to Natalie in front of the piano.

" Do I have a choice?" Natalie asked. Sean smiled and sat down next to her and started playing this chords that was very familiar to her.

She looked over to Sean who was smiling and she couldn't help but smile.
Sean then turned to her.

" Remember this chords? The song we made for your YouTube channel. The 10 minutes song writing challenge." Sean said.

" Y-yeah. Yeah. I remember. How could I forget?" Natalie said rolling her eyes sarcastically bursting out laughing with Sean.

" Do you wanna sing it? And I can play the piano. " Sean said." Sure. " Natalie said then Sean started playing. Natalie just stared at him for a good while.
