Maddy ran alongside Tom, weaving their way through angry students, down the crowded school hallway.

Shannon just rolled her eyes in disgust, 'who actually cares, it's a stupid end of year play?'

They stopped running, turned to face Shannon, and gasped, 'who cares?' Maddy started, 'Young TV are coming. This is our chance to mess up on TV!'

Tom laughed in agreement, 'we'll just show them how much we really suck on stage.'

'Well that if your eyes don't flash yellow on stage again…' Shannon grumbled.

Maddy smiled and made a face, 'look who's grumpy.' She jabbed Shannon in the ribs.

Shannon rolled her eyes smiling, 'just go then.'

'We need to see if we even got the part first,' and with that, they were off leaving Shannon behind.

Pushing their way through the crowd eagerly, they made it to the front of the circle. Maddy read the cast out loud, 'Juliet Maddy Smith! All right!'

Maddy broke away from the students to look for Tom; she found him by the drinking fountain, 'what part did you get?'

'I got Romeo!' he shouted excitedly.

'Juliet! Let's show them how it's really done.'

They continued to jump triumphantly when something dawned on Tom, 'Mads…'

She stopped dancing, 'yeah?'

'Doesn't Romeo and Juliet have to kiss in the third scene?'

Her face fell, of course they had to kiss, Romeo and Juliet were the two main characters in a love tragedy, 'Oh…'
