Romeo and Juliet
Chapter 1: The Play
Emma's POV
(in drama class)
"Right." I rolled my eyes. "This is great. Just great." I said sarcastically.
"Why is so bad?" Manny whispered to me. "I mean, you met Frankie Muniz this way."
"Yeah, I know. And look how we ended up." I reminded her.
"Good point."
"Well, I guess I'll just try to get the tiniest part possible." I whispered back.
Brrrrring!
"Class dismissed." Mr. Thomas said as he started to erase the chalkboard.
"So who are you trying out for, spinner?" I heard a sickening-sweet voice ask as I got up.
"Uh... who's that main dude?" He asked absentmindedly.
"Romeo." Paige replied.
"Um, does he use a sword?"
"I think so." Paige smiled her famous fake smile.
"Cool! I'm going for him, then!" spinner left the room.
My jaw dropped. "Oh, my gosh! Did you hear that?"
"What?" Manny asked.
"spinner mason is trying out for Romeo!" I squealed. "I'm soo going to be Juliet!"
Sean rolled his eyes. "You said you wanted to get the smallest part." He pointed out.
"Well, that was before I knew Spinner is going to be Romeo! I mean, I get to kiss him!" I exclaimed.
"So what are you trying out for?" Manny asked Sean.
"Romeo." He said quietly.
"WHAT!" We both practically screamed.
"What?" He asked. "What's wrong with that?"
"It's just... it's you, Sean. There's got to be a reason." I said.
"Oh, my gosh!" Manny exclaimed. "I know why!"
His eyes widened. "You do?" He asked breathlessly.
"You so like her! It's obvious!"
"Like who?" He said innocently.
A little too innocently. He seemed scared. I gave him a suspicious glare.
"darcey moore! You totally have a thing for her! She's trying out for Juliet, too." Manny exclaimed.
Sean looked confused for a moment, and then smiled. "Okay, how did you guys know I like her?"
"We can tell by the way you look at her." I said smartly.
Little did we know that Sean wasn't trying out for Darcey...
