Heath Zeller was crushing. Hard.
At first, he hadn't realised what had been going on. Lýdia was a friend, perhaps in a more casual sense than Heath would have liked, but there were lots of people whom he wished he knew better. That was just the sort of person he was. They shared classes and clubs and mutual friends, and there was nothing about the girl that Heath found he disliked save how little he really knew her.
Such an opinion was strengthened once they found themselves cast opposite one another in the school production of Wicked, with the pair of them beginning to spend more time together. It was during official rehearsals at club meetings, script reading in the common room, and the odd line exchange in the corridors between classes that Heath found himself feeling things that he hadn't experienced before as he spent more and more time with Lýdia. His emotions altered subtly and slowly, so steadily that the realisation that he was falling for Lýdia came as a pleasant revelation rather than a panicked shock. The winter break had given him all the time he needed to work out what he was going to do once the school year began again, with him wanting to make as little drama out of things as possible. There was no need to get worked up over something that he already felt so at ease with. Yet it wasn't until the end of the first rehearsals of the new year that he was able to finally catch the opportune moment to act.
Heath had been in the middle of talking to one of the younger students, a fourth year who was a member of the ensemble, when he caught sight of Lýdia heading towards the door out of the corner of his eye. It took him no time at all to decide that now was as good a time as any to make light of his feelings, with him quickly excusing himself before jogging over to her.
"Hey Lýdia?" he said, flashing her a smile as he came to stop beside her. "That was a really good rehearsal. You sounded great."
