The two love doves soon received a message from someone on their class that their test was over. The two had to get back to class and to finish the day's lessons.
"Thanks to you I answered that test to the best capability I could" Mark said to Ben as they walked back to class.
"no not me.... Cause I didn't do anything OK.. It was our joined up practice and reading section we had together, that's what gave you insights too..... It helped me too so... So.... So it's our joint effort" Ben told Mark in an encouraging tune.
Both smiled at the other and grateful that they had to meet each other.
With that the dance of Feelings linger on the air between a distance person and a close by individuals.
Looking at their relationship, not many could have had that, but these two made it work and they were grateful for that..... Hand in hand as they walk down the hallway to their lecture room where they were greeted with faces of their course mates and friends.
"sit down kids..... The tests are done and I will be taking the answer sheets to score them at my office once am done, I will bring it in my next class" Mr luster said.
"alright sir!!!!" the class voiced uniformly.
"good you can have a good day" Mr luster said..... And with that he lives the class.
Soon enough the class erupted in voices, as they chat on the test they had just taken..."that test was crazy" some will say.... "I tried to do my best, but I don't know if my best was enough" others will say... Then there were does who talked about Ben and Mark earlier submittion and some remarks weren't great at all.
"what a show off" a girl said..... "they think they are the best huh... Such looser" a male altered... "hmm, I think they cheated,' there is no way that they will finish in just 30 minutes..... Right" a girl voiced.
With all these negative comments the duo kept silent and where lost in their own little world. They have done the test and they finished before everyone no big deal.
"wanna check the cafeteria later for lunch together?" Mark asked Ben.
Ben reply with a simple answer "yes...".
Later that day they went to the auditorium where they are to join the rehearsals that were almost starting.
"shoots, we made it on time..." Ben said with a wary smile.
"just barely" Mark replied as they went up stage to join on the rehearsal.
It was at that moment Anthony saw Ben walking up the stage with Mark.... He was smiling and making a face that only Anthony find cute at the moment.
Rachel saw this and called out to him "hey Anthony..... Anthony buddy"
"yes Rachel.... I Mean Rach, wasn't looking at anything" Anthony tries to denie.
"you want him right" Rachel asked with a questioning look on her face....
"yes!!!!.... I want him" Anthony said while still looking at Ben.
Rachel then later said "then don't just stand here idly... Do something Anthony, go talk to him.... You've got this OK..." she then pushed him a little bit to move.
"OK.. OK... OK.. OK I will try" Anthony said while moving.
The duo separated to do separate task, before they do their scene. Ben was alone trying to fix a disarranged wire when Anthony approached and joined in the task.
"hey.... Hamm" "Ben.. My name is Ben but some call me Benny".
"oh.. Yes Ben but Benny sounds more nice am Anthony by name nice to meet you".
"nice to meet you Anthony" Ben said with a smile on his face.
Anthony was taken aback by the smile and couldn't help but to smile himself... His heart were beating so fast that he thought it's was going to jump out his chest.
"you look cute.... I mean"... "thank you, Anthony you are not looking bad yourself. You are handsome".... "did he just praise me and call me handsome" Anthony thought.
Ben got up and offered a hand to Anthony
"hey, thanks for the assist" he said.
Anthony took Ben's hand and replied "it's nothing... Call me anytime something is difficult for you"..... "oh... OK... I will" Ben said having an half smile on.
Then Mark called Ben over that it was his turn on stage. "Ben you're up now"
"Am up now Anthony.... See you around and on our scenes together" Ben said as he walked away from the spot.
Anthony looked at his hand and couldn't shake the feeling that was raising inside him. He held his hand into a fist as he said to himself "yea.... See you on stage Benny."
"I want him..... I f*cking want him" he then said in his thoughts.
Ben with the new found energy he got from the date he went with Mark the other day acted flawlessly on stage and he seemed calm when acting with Anthony for their scenes and it was splendid and perfectly acted especially the last scene.
"you know I can move the world for you my love" Anthony acting in the character of a noble prince said.
"I don't want you to move the world for my sake..... I.... Just..... I just want you to love me with your heart and not with words" Ben acting the character of a military soldier.
"then I shall not use words alone then" and then Anthony in the character of the prince hugged Ben who was in the character of the military soldier and said.. "I love you my love"... "I love you too, my heart" Ben replied. And the acting scene ended.
Mark in the back stage cheered up Ben for his effort and courage he displayed on the stage....
Ben pulled from the hug and said to Anthony "we did great.... Look forward in acting more scenes with you in the nearest future, if excuse me" then he turn and left.
"yea... Yea definitely... Looking forward to that" Anthony voiced as loud he could so Ben can hear him.
During the acting scene he meant every word he had said on his lines. And the way Ben replied with his own lines kept his heart beating so fast.
"it was just an act OK it was not real..... Put your self together Anthony, put your self together" Anthony muttered "but it felt so real to me.... I want him badly now" he added.
Ben walked up to Mark and they hugged each other... "you nailed it Benny" Mark said remarkably.
"it was with your help and the date we went on that gave me courage.... And let's not forget that I continue seeing your face on stage so it helped a lot.... You helped a lot" Ben said softly.
Mark smiled as he held Ben's hand and said "I didn't do anything majorly OK.... I did what I thought was OK for you."
"and thanks to it I was able to scale through Mark..... Thanks, thank you for your help" Ben said.
They both went out together after rehearsals came to an end.
In the bus that was on its way to the other university, Anthony was still looking at his hand and remembering how Ben sticked out his hand to him.
"i love him and I want him" Anthony said determined as he held his hand into a fist and looked at the window as he pictured Ben's face and smiled with murmuring "I will have you Benny, I will have you."
The two worlds that came across each other has sparked something in the other and the other has a longing and want for the other.
