My arms trembled as I grabbed onto the banister. I had forgotten how afraid of heights I was until I had gotten up here.
"Romeo! Romeo! Wherefore art thou?" I cried out my lines as if my life depended on it.
"I am down here my fairest and dear Juliet!" The Letter 'M' screwed up his lines yet again. I wanted to facepalm so badly, but I couldn't for the sake of the play.
"Boo!" someone in the crowd yelled out. I stomped my foot angrily, causing the balcony to shake. Dib, sitting in the audience with his arm around Gretchen, widened his eys alarmedly.
I shook violently and tears filled my eyes. As I shook my head I saw Zim, which sent a warm feeling to the tips of my fingers.
The violent shaking rocked the balcony even more and I only thought one brief thing.
'It's going to fall,' the tiny voice in the back of my head told me. I swallowed back me tears and shook my head. I moved one hand from the banister to wipe my nose. And then, the balcony fell.
Flash of bright light, skoolmates face, rock, rock, my hair, face, flash of light.
I landed on my right arm painfully. I bit back tears. Never once before had I cried and I wasn't going to now. I wanted to scream but I couldn't open my mouth. The air I brought in through my nose was dusty and chalky with the occasional piece of small rock. I thought I saw Zim's green skin but it could have been a flash of imagnation.
"Till death do us part, Gaz," a voice whispered. I didn't know who it was but the words sent a chill through my spine.
