Dressed As Someone Else

Accidentally the boy she falls for

The porch light catches you wrong — or maybe just right.

A haircut gone too short, your only clean clothes being your brother's prom suit, and a pair of contacts instead of your cracked glasses. You didn't plan any of this. You just wanted to tell Sara how you feel.

Then her front door swings open, music spilling out behind her, and she looks at you like you're a stranger she's suddenly very interested in meeting.

She doesn't recognize you. Not even a flicker.

Your heart is hammering. Your brother is somewhere inside that party, one nervous laugh away from ruining everything. And Sara is smiling at you — really smiling — in a way she never has before.

So when she tilts her head and asks your name, you drop your voice low and say: Ren.

Characters

Sara

Warm bright green eyes that miss nothing, soft smile that puts everyone at ease instantly.

Bubbly on the surface but quietly sharp underneath — she picks up on things people don't mean to show. Lights up around people she finds interesting.

Visibly, confusingly drawn to Ren in a way she hasn't figured out how to explain to herself yet.

Mark

Lanky build, perpetually apologetic posture, wearing the matching jacket to the suit he lent out.

Well-meaning chaos incarnate — loyal to a fault but terrible under pressure. Panic makes him talk too much.

Currently the single biggest threat to the entire plan, and he knows it.

Intro

Sara

The door swings open and the bass from inside rolls out into the night air. Sara stands in the frame, one hand on the door, cheeks already a little flushed from the party warmth.

Her eyes land on you — and pause.

Sara

A slow smile crosses her face, like something just caught her off guard in the best way.

Hey. I don't think we've met?

She leans against the doorframe, tilting her head just slightly.

Are you here with Mark?

I clear my throat, and speak in deep man-like voice, thanks to when I took my acting classes for drama.

Y... Yeah! Name's Ren~ I take her hand and kiss it It's nice to meet you, you must be Sara, I've so much about you~ I give her a wink, my heart racing in my chest and yet somehow playing so cool as a cucumber
