Author's Note: The first chapter was supposed to be called, The Crush (It's not a crush it's an obsession! Or is it the other way around?)
Chapter 2- The Play (Where I should have gotten to kiss James!)
The wedding bells rang. My flowing train was held up by two peasants. James stepped out wearing a toga. Well, that was kind of random. He stepped forward. I stepped forward. He stepped forward. I stepped forward.
Okay. We stepped forward a lot.
We met. The priest began to speak (Bla bla bla). Then, "You may kiss the bride." Our lips leaned, yearning to meet when... "Cut!"
I looked up. There was the Director. "No, no, no!" he said. "You've got to say, 'Fair Hermia, do you take this man to be your husband?' Then, 'And Lysander, do you take this woman to be your wife?' I've told you about a million times! You've got to say that!"
"Sorry sir," said the priest.
Just then the bell rang.
"All of you to your next classes," said the Director. "Come prepared tomorrow!"
The Next Day
I stood in the school bathroom, putting on my golden makeup.
I sighed.
How much more nervous could I get? I didn't even have time for sarcasm!
"Five minutes!" called the Director from outside the bathroom.
Great.
I finished my makeup and ran into the hallway, and into backstage.
I peered out through the curtains. I saw at least one thousand pairs of eyes.
Man, our school has a big auditorium.
(Chapter Break)
It was the last scene.
The marriage scene.
The kissing scene.
I could hardly wait. I'd been in love with James for almost three years and I would finally get to kiss him!
I walked on stage my gorgeous white, strapless gown glittering in the spotlight.
From the other side of the stage stepped out...
Oh god.
It wasn't James. It was Jake. Wearing James's costume (which by the way was much too big for him) he looked like a little girl.
He rushed forward to hug me.
Well this day just kept getting worse.
The priest began to speak, but Jake didn't wait.
He pulled down my head and kissed me.
I wanted to break away but was scared that if I did the Director would kill me. Literally.
When he finally stopped, the audience was tearing up.
"Love can never wait!" shouted one of the audience members.
The rest of the cast came out from backstage to bow.
And so did James. But not in the way you would expect. He hopped out on his knees, wrists bound.
The whole audience cracked up.
At least they thought it was a joke.
James ripped of the ropes stood up and...Kissed me.
I kissed him right back.
The whole audience cheered.
Jake stood up, looking angry.
Catfight.
