(( I sometimes wonder how I'm using my time . . .)

Connor sighed nervously from where he stood behind the red curtain. The show would start any minute and he was the opening act...he hadn't the slightest idea how this would go...and he was specifically worried about a specific seat, as to if it was filled or not...he'd know soon...

"McKinley, you're on!" The stage manager called.

Connor nodded and took in a swift breath before centering himself on the stage.

The moment the curtain lifted, Connor was blinded by the lights, and he could hardly even see the audience. Before he could even check if the seat was filled, his background music began to play and he had to be ready, "I-I was sick and tired of everything- when I called you last night from Glasgow..." He tried to get his eyes used to the light, scanning the crowd, "All I do is eat and sleep and sing," He couldn't recognize anyone in the shift of lights going on, "Wishing every show was the last show." He felt himself full with hope, "So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming." His eyes finally adjusted and landed on the boy in the first row, "Suddenly I feel alright." He made eye contact with Kevin, and the brunette smiled at him proudly, "And its gonna be so different, when I'm on the stage tonight," He felt himself fuel with confidence, "Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me, shining like the sun! Smiling, having fun, feeling like a number one!" He almost laughed at the fact that the boy he'd been crushing on for months was here, "Tonight the super trouper beans are gonna blind me! But I won't feel blue!" He looked at Kevin and they locked eyes, "Like I always do, 'cause somewhere in the crowd is you." He smiled meaningfully at Kevin who seemed to have swooned in his seat.

This night would go fine.
