Suddenly Alena bounced in the room, "What are you doing? I have gone for a minute but you two started to fight." Ren releases his arm and it got bruised a little. Aris also pushed him back saying, "We are not fighting. It's him."
Ren looked away feeling guilty, "I am sorry. I have to go now, something urgent came up." Alena said, "Ok, see you later." She comes towards Aris and help him put on her bracelet and tied his hair with a clip. "Now you look great and from now on walk like a girl when go for audition or do acting and also speak with a voice of girl."
Aris thanked her, "Thanks for your help. I will buy all woman's thing and keep in my room hidden from Arin's eyes. Oh, and auditions are in few days. I hope it goes well."
Alena rests her hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry everything will go as planned. Don't give up and don't let anyone find your true-self." Aris nodded, feeling grateful.
While Aris was on way back to his home he was feeling both excitement and fear that his dream was coming true and on the hand, fear of getting caught. But he was also thinking of Ren whose behavior was changed this morning. Why was his expression like that he could devour me at any moment and what does he meant by, what if someone actually falls for you even knowing that you are a boy? His mind was filled with questions. And he was also tired.
When he arrived at home Arin was waiting for him. Aris got shocked to see him. Aris's thought, why is he early. Usually, he gets home late. I hope he won't see my things or my plan will be fucked up before starting.
"Why are you late, Aris? Didn't I tell you not to wander around so late." "Again, he is like old man, talking. You don't control my life." Aris murmured to himself. "Speak loud." Arin said in high voice.
"Nothing.. Um, I was doing assignment with Ren and Alena that I didn't see the time. My mistake, next time I will be careful." Saying this Aris was trying to slip out but Arin stopped him, "You said you were doing assignment so what's in the bag?"
"This, I also want to buy some shirts. These were in new collection so I bought it." Aris hesitated while lying. He was sweating as Arin came towards him with his long foot.
Arin with his doubting face, "Open it. I also want to see your new shirts."
"What?" Aris's feet freeze at the ground.
