.April 8th.

•~Legoshi P.O.V.~•
I scramble back up to the spotlight station as panic fuels my movements. Why was this happening, and why now. She didn't recognise me, I could see it in her eyes she hadn't realised who I was. But I remember. The memories flooded back to me as soon as her (E/C) orbs met mine. I feel terrible.

"You okay up here man?" a higher voice than my own brings me back to the world around me. Turning to my left I see the Kai staring up at me with his arms crossed as if annoyed, as usual. I nod at the mongoose and look out to the rest of the club room, we could see it all from the lights stage. "Y-yeah man, all good up here." I stammer. He rolls his eyes and scoffs at me "You need to stop hiding away up here you know." he spits his words at me, yep, he's irritated. I shrug and signal him to leave with my hand, the new stage crew member huffs and storms down from the platform.

I shake my head as I return to my train of thought. Jack had seemed overly joyful when I saw him in fifth period, had he found her already...? I sigh and bury my face in my hands. Peaking between my fingers to see the white wolf chatting amongst the animals I call friends. Do I continue as if I hadn't known her? But then what do I do if she remembers, she'll never forgive me, not that she will if I tell her either.

I sigh and step back, turning around I accidentally knock one of the spotlight stands. The metal falls to the wooden upper deck with a clatter, and all eyes turn to me. I huff and shake my head. "Need any help up there?" a sweet voice I don't recognise asks, looking down I see (Y/N) stood at the bottom of the ladder to the lights stage, looking up at me. I stumble backwards and shake my head "Uh n-no, it's alright!" I stutter in a panic "It was just a stand t-that's all, no actual d-damage-" I explain as I scatter to pick up the fallen stand.

The other wolf giggles at me and nods "Okay well you should come down here anyway!" she suggests with a beaming smile "Its meant to be a whole club meeting after all," she mumbles as my friend and another member of the stage team, Dom, cuts in. "Yeah come on down! We're discussing some pretty important stuff that I don't want to have to re-explain to you later." he takes a jab at me with an irritated look. I roll my eyes "Alright," I groan "I'll be down in a second." Dom nods and (Y/N) grins successfully, walking back over to the group.

I take a deep breath and attempt to calm down. I have to face her whether I like it or not, it's only more suspicious if I don't. Just stay calm and don't say much, like your usual self. Yeah. I let out a long sigh before descending the ladder and stepping out to the clubs main floor, I don't usually stand around here that much, it's strange to not be above it all for once. I shrug and walk over to where most of the crew are standing, specifically Kibi, Dom, Fudge and Aoba from the actors pool.

"There you are." Aoba smirks as I walk over, patting me on the back. The others smile and continue their conversation. "This year is the last time we do Adler with Louis." Dom sighs, Louis, our lead actor, was a third year and would graduate soon, so this year would be the last performance with him at the forefront. The team had been thinking about it for a while, I mean what play are we meant to do when he leaves? Whatever it is students wouldn't be as interested if he is gone, the club is going to suffer at the end of this year.

"We will have to find a new lead as well," Aoba chimes in, "I think Bill is looking at taking over." he grimaces. Bill has always been over confident in his acting, he seems to think Louis is holding him back, god knows how he will be when he can take charge. As we talk I can't help but notice Kibi isn't saying anything, he's staring in the other direction. Following his gaze I'm met with the face of the new girl, new to them anyway, (Y/N). I look away sharply and focus back to the others. Why was Kibi watching her?

"So what team do you think (Y/N) will be on?" Kibi asks suddenly as he looks over to her, Dom chuckles and shrugs. "I feel like she'll be an actor or dancer, shes not boring enough to join us." Fudge cuts in, sounding genuinely sad. "I don't know actually," Dom starts "Maybe she will join the production team! She seems kinda reserved?" he suggests, Fudge nods and smiles at the suggestion. I huff and cross my arms, I came down to talk with my friends not to talk about her.

"What do you think Legoshi?" Dom asks as I stand isolated from their chat. I hesitate and shake my head "Uh no clue, dancer?" I throw out, they seem to agree. "What we talking about over here?" That same gentle voice from earlier puzzles, drawing our attention. The shorter white wolf is walking over to us with Els by her side, I suppose they must be friends.

"These guys are wondering what team you plan on joining." Aoba smirks as she stands by his side. Kibi and Fudge both blush as they nod, their cheeks look like cherries. The girl shrugs and hesitates for a moment. "I don't really know," she mutters "I don't really dance and I definitely don't act." she says as if thinking out loud. "So you could join us?!" Fudge cuts in with an excited shout. (Y/N) laughs and nods "I suppose I could!" she smiles innocently.

"Well then that settles it!" Sanu cuts in, had he been listening this whole time? "(Y/N) you will join the production pool!" he announces enthusiastically, much to the joy of the two shorter herbivores surrounding us. I feel my stomach drop as he breaks the news. Things just got a lot more difficult. "Legoshi!" Sanu again chimes "Yeah...?" I retort, wondering what he wants of me. "Show her around will you?" he grins, walking away. Oh damn it.

I nod as (Y/N) joins my side, looking up at me expectantly. I can't stand to look at her, it's too much for me to handle. I turn away sharply and pause "Um," I hum "Lets go take a look, I guess." I mumble in my deep monotone voice, beginning to walk to the doors that lead to the production teams storage space.

•——————————•

"This is where we keep all old props and the costume rails," I begin explaining as the girl follows me around, her tail wagging excitedly while mine remains low. "Most people don't come back here, but if you're going to be working in the production team then I guess you will." I shrug with a sigh, I'm not good at touring things, especially not in this situation. Regardless of my lack of enthusiasm (Y/N) nods and smiles at all I tell her.

"It's so cool back here," she beams as her eyes land on the dinosaur prop for the summers festival of the meteor. "Woah," she gasps out, "Whats that for?" I follow her eyes to the t-rex statue and hesitate. "It's just a prop for the summer festival, you'll see it later in the year." I shrug as walk to the corridor by the side of the main club room.

(Y/N) continues to follow me as I head near the locker rooms. "These are essentially changing and or locker rooms," I say pointing to the two doors labelled with stereotypical male female door signs, I wasnt a fan of those little figure things for some reason. She nods and takes a peak inside the girls one, I raise my eyebrows and avert my gaze, this makes her giggle. "They're just rooms calm down, there's not like a naked girl in there or anything." She jokes with a chuckle as she playfully pats my arm.

I feel the heat rise to my cheeks as they flush red "I-I-" I stammer as she continues to laugh. "You're strange Legoshi." (Y/N) grins as she looks up at me. I shake my head and push on forward. "Let's go to the back stage," I mumble, quickly changing the topic, she rolls her eyes and continues to follow me.

God I hope this gets easier, even being so close to me she continues to not know who I am. Hopefully it would stay that way...
