First time on the stage

Silas's POV

"Yes, everything is going to be fine. No need to be nervous." Even though I kept repeating this to myself, my legs were trembling, and I started to sweat because I was hella nervous.

"Silas, there's something on your neck."

"Where?" I started touching my neck, trying to feel whatever was there.

"Your shirt's thread has come loose… Come here, let me cut it."

I moved closer to Lysander, and with his teeth, he bit off the thread. Then, he looked at me with a smile. I smiled back, but my smile felt weird because I didn't really want to smile.

"Do you have water? I'm kinda thirsty… probably because I'm nervous."

Lysander handed me a mini water bottle, and I drank the whole thing in one go. After finishing, I glanced at Lysander, who was staring at me with wide eyes.

"What happened? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing… you sure were thirsty."
