Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, they belong to P.C. and Kristen Cast.
A/N: This is a play and it is short and sweet. It may or may not suck, I don't know.
Challenge: Write a story using the present tense for House of Night in play form
Play On
It's nine o'clock in the night, so it's actually nine in the morning if you think about it. The snow is falling softly. Zoey and Stark appear at the fountain. Students are seen walking, but Zoey and Stark are the main characters.
Zoey: (runs her hand through her hair) So, what are you doing here?
Stark: (shrugs) Not much, just trying to get to class. (shifts from foot to foot) You?
Zoey: (startled) Oh, um, not much. Trying to get to class...I guess. Aphrodite appears in the background. She's arguing with Erik. You practiced lately?
Stark: Yeah, last night, I guess.
Zoey: You okay?
Stark: Yeah, never better. Why?
Zoey: Something just seems off.
Stark: Don't worry, Zo, everything is okay.
Zoey: If you say so.
Scene switches to Aphrodite and Erik.
Aphrodite: Grow up, Erik. (Places hands on hips.)
Erik: (Snorts) Why don't you, Erik? You're just mad that we broke up and now you're jealous that I have a new girlfriend.
Aphrodite: Me? Jealous? Get over yourself, Erik. I will never. Ever. Be jealous of you. New. Ever. Got it?
Erik: (Shrugs) Maybe, maybe not. The question is: do you get it?
Aphrodite: (Narrows eyes) What? That you're jealous of me? Yeah, Erik, I'm so jealous of you, but I get why you're jealous of me. I dumped your sorry ass.
Erik: Why don't you grow up?
Aphrodite: I will when you do. (Turns on heel and walks away, leaving Erik alone.)
A/N: I know, this probably sucks, but I was bored and I just got the idea: why not write a play? If it did suck, don't review, just go your happy, little way.
