"No." I almost growled, turning and walking away. I joined the girls after a second, slipping in easily. We talk about the randomest things, and before I knew it, lunch had started. After saying good bye to Joy, I followed the gang out to the courtyard. I got a simple pb&j from Maxie and Archie and followed my friends. "You guys, I'm going to spend lunch in my room today, okay? I have to call some people." I explained. They nodded, knowing something was wrong, and let me go. I walked up to my building quickly before almost running into the elevator, jabbing the five key. I speedily walked to my room, unlocked the door, closed it behind me, and collapsed on my bed. I rolled off after a few minutes, eating my pb&j in peace before letting out my team and sitting at the phone booth. They stretched and relaxed silently as I dialed a number. After it rang a couple times, I decided to just call Mom later tonight. My next call goes to…

"Grandfather!" I smiled as he picked up the phone. He laughed and smiled whole-heartedly.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of talking to my beautiful granddaughter today?" He asked, smiling.

"Just checking in with you." I replied. He smiled, but then got serious.

"Something's troubling you." He stated. It's grandfather power I tell you!

"You could say that…" I trailed awkwardly.

"What is it?"

"Your grandson."

"Which one?" I rose an eyebrow in response. "Right, Aaron… what did he do?"

"He lied." I sighed, shaking my head. Grandfather frowned in response, but was interrupted by loud, obnoxious beeping.

"I'm sorry; I'll have to go now, Something's happening over here…" He trailed, typing some things in the keyboard.

"Alright Grandfather, see ya." I sighed.

"Goodbye!" He called. I nodded and turned off the phone. I looked at the clock on the wall and gasped. Lunch was already over, and I had five minutes to get to the auditorium that's all the way across campus…

This should be fun.

I returned everyone quickly, picking up my backpack and running out the door, before turning around and locking it. I made a mad dash for the elevator, but it was on the tenth floor. I ran over to the stairs and stopped. I can't go down these that fast! What if I fall? Taking my last option, I slid down the rails quickly, keeping my balance. I finally got out of the stairway and checked the clock. Three minutes left. I ran out of the building, and in the direction of the auditorium. There was practically no one outside! At least I didn't have to worry about-

"Whoa!" I yelled as I fell. I looked up to see what I tripped over, and it just so happened to be Maxie and Archie Lunch cart, with neither of them in sight. I looked up at a clock on the outside of the building from my place on the floor. Two minutes. I pushed myself and ran as fast as I could. Passing another clock, I saw I had one minute left. The auditorium came in sight. Just a little bit more! I dove in as the bell rang, and put my hands on my knees, gasping for air.

"Ladies and Gentleman, the Drama Queen has arrived." I heard Lily announce and then snicker. You know, she's really been getting on my nerves lately, and I've been ignoring her this whole time! What have I done to her, other than embarrass her back at Mount. Coronet? Hey, if she wanted to turn on us, that's fine with me. I looked up, still heaving, receiving weird looks from a crowd of people. The teacher was on stage. He seemed familiar as well; he had shoulder-length indigo hair and forest green eyes.

"Well class! Today we'll be doing… improvised love stories!" Sooo cliché. "You'll be paring up with your partners in Mrs. Cassidy's trust unit, since I know you were all in the same class and it was Boy-girl! Only saves me the trouble of pairing you up!" Even more predictable… "Now, with your partner, get into a group of people you know, it doesn't matter how big the group is! You'll be doing group improvising, and I'll start you off with the mood and a situation, and then start commanding you with different moods on stage! Understand?" He asked. I sighed, but nodded no less, walking over to the group while avoiding my partner. Everyone that wasn't hooked up, AKA everyone except Dawn, Paul, May, Drew, Barry, and Gucci, looked around awkwardly. The teacher bounded over to us. Unfortunately, Lily and Riley joined us. "Alright, so your group will start off as- Oh, who are you?" He asked curiously.

"Marina Ketchum, Ash's sister." I replied. His eyes sparkled.

"Oh! So you must be the dramatic new student I was supposed to get today! My name is Mr. James, but please, call me James!" He smiled, shaking my hand a little too over enthusiastically. I smiled uneasily back. "Now, You're skit will start with the mood of 'overprotective boyfriend'. It'll start as the boys showing new student…umm…" His eyes scanned the boys. "Riley, around! Riley will see one of your girlfriends and her partner will get overprotective, and then Riley will move onto each of the girls! Okay? You guys will go on last, and remember, this is graded!" He explained happily and basically skipped off. We all looked at each other, aside from our partners, nodded, and took our seats. The first groups were actually pretty good!

"Oh Billy, how could you cheat on me with her?" A girl yelled.

"Mandy, I don't know what you're talking about!" A boy yelled back.

"Oh, so what you're saying is that we never really had anything?" Another girl asked in disbelief.

"We didn't do anything Mindy!" He sighed. Mandy shook her head and crossed her arms.

"Good! Now, group two!"

"Oh Rex, you shouldn't have!"

"Well, I'd only get the best for a girl like you, Carol." Multiple 'aww's were heard all over the audience.

"Wait, what's this?" The girl asked, looking closely at the necklace Rex gave her.

"It's nothing!" Rex laughed, waving his hands in front of his face. Wrong move.

"To Delilah? REX!" Carol yelled and chased him off stage.

"Very good! Next group!" James clapped. It went on like this until we were called up. "Last group, let's go!" We nodded and hurried onto the stage. The girls and guys spilt up, with the girls going to the left, and the guys going to the right. Riley stepped in front while Drew began to lead him around, with the guys following. We girls started to pretend to talk, completely oblivious to the situation.

"Whoa, who's that girl? What's her name?" Riley asked, dazed and pointed to May, who was in the middle of a conversation.

"Doesn't matter, she has a boyfriend." Drew replied quickly, glaring. Riley took no notice and smirked as they continued to walk.

"I can fix that." He stated, smiling smugly. Drew stopped suddenly, turning to Riley and grabbing him by his collar.

"I swear if you break us up, I will break your face." Drew threatened lowly. Riley gulped and took a step back.

"Alright, alright, chill man! I didn't know! But who's that?" He asked again, pointing at Dawn. Paul began to crack his knuckles. "I mean," Riley quickly corrected himself, "That?" He asked, pointing to Gucci.

"Not important." Barry rushed in. Riley gulped.

"Her?" He asked hesitantly, pointing to Cheryl.

"First, you're a perv, and second, she's mine." Kaleb growled. Riley looked like he was panicking.

"Her?" He asked, pointing to Misty. Ash stepped up to him, glaring. That's when we decided to walk over to the guys. "Fine, I'll just settle for her." He sighed, pointing at me. I blinked twice, before I felt someone wrap their arm around my waist.

"Taken." He replied coolly. I was expecting James to call out something like, Lovey dovey, or happy, but Nooo.

"Escalating anger!" He called out excitedly. I smiled evilly, before removing myself out of Aaron's grasp.

"Taken by whom?" I asked lowly, spinning around to face him. He frowned.

"By me, your boyfriend." He pressed. I scowled.

"You're not my boyfriend!" I spat at him. His eyes narrowed and he gave me that icy glare.

"Oh, excuse me, I forgot, you know since you don't trust me!" He exclaimed. I narrowed my eyes at him as well. So he's bringing our argument into this? Fine, two can play at that game.

"How could I? You lied to me, twice!" I snapped back.

"Yeah, but then I told you the truth." He explained angrily.

"But how could I trust you after that?"

"By trusting me like you've always have!"

"You just lied straight to my face! How am I supposed to trust you so easily?"

"Oh, what do you want from me?"

"The truth!"

"I did tell you the truth! But you know what? I think I left to get away from your annoying attitude! Seriously! You think you're the boss, or something! Well, I've had it! You're just plain ANNOYING." I was going to snap back, when James-

"Sadness!" I glared for a split second, before taking a step back and looking shocked and then switching my gaze to the ground, a heartbroken look on my face. Aaron, who was heaving before, stopped suddenly with a hurt expression on his face.

"Marina," He started, taking a step towards me with an arm extended. I shook my head and ran off stage, and then waited. "Marina, Wait!" He exclaimed, taking another step in the direction I left in.

"Regretful!"

"I didn't mean it!" Aaron yelled, falling to his knees. "I didn't mean it." He repeated, whispering now. He actually seemed hurt, and I almost bought it, if it wasn't for the 'acting skit' thing.

"Determined!" James yelled. Aaron suddenly got up.

"I have to make things right again." He said to himself, before starting to walk in the direction of the stage stairs.

"Protective brother!" Ash suddenly stepped in Aaron's path.

"Listen here," He started angrily, "If you treat my sister like that, you'll answer to me." He threatened. Aaron looked sorry.

"Listen, Ash, all I want to do is apologize! You have no idea how sorry I feel right now!" Aaron explained.

"Understanding!"

"…Alright, I believe you, now, go get her." Ash commanded, stepping out of Aaron's way. Aaron nodded, before walking off stage. I sighed and walked to the other side of the stage, before walking up and joining the girls there. They immediately surrounded me.

"He did that?" Dawn asked, completely shocked. I nodded.

"When I get my hands on him!" Misty threatened, shaking her fist. Suddenly, Aaron walked up to us, and May held Misty back from ripping his head off.

"Guys, I need to talk to her, alone." Aaron explained. May nodded and dragged Misty off the stage, with the rest of the girls following them. Well, I guess that's okay, since the mood is still understanding…

"Marina, I'm sorry. So sorry. But, you know I was lying right there! You know me, it was the anger talking." He explained. He continued to babble on, saying how much he was 'sorry for what he did'.

"Forgiving Kiss!" James called suddenly. I turned to him, glaring,

"What?" I hissed. He nodded. "You didn't have the other groups kiss!"

"I'm testing you." He simply replied. I sighed, turning to Aaron, who was a strawberry pink. I suddenly pecked him on the cheek, ending it quickly. Aaron got even pinker, holding the place I pecked him with his palm, a shocked look on his face. James frowned. "Not like that!" I turned to him smirking.

"You never said where!" I smirked, tempted to stick my tongue out at him in my victory.

"Do it like I meant it, or you get a zero!" He yelled dramatically.

"Fail me, I don't care! I'm-" I was suddenly turned and pulled forward, crashing lips with the person next to me. I could feel the sparks. My whole body felt like it was on fire, and I almost saw fireworks. The bell rang though, ending the moment, but not ruining it. He pulled away slowly, resting his forehead on mine.

"You were about to blow your cover." He sighed, not opening his eyes or moving. I blinked up at him nervously. When his iced eyes opened again, I felt something weird in my stomach. I pulled away from his grasp nervously, feeling my cheeks on fire. I spun around quickly, picked up my backpack, and walked out without a word, despite James being crazy happy in the back. I walked around the courtyard for a couple of minutes, before seeing a crowd of students gather in the courtyard. I decided to join them, since they were out on the battle fields. As I got closer, I recognized my group of friends (As you probably already know, excluding him) sitting down and waiting. I quickly joined them and we all waited until another familiar figure walked up to us. She had long, magenta hair in a curve and dark blue eyes.

"Hello class! I'm Mrs. Jessie! Welcome to battle class!" She announced. I nodded to myself. This was my kind of class. "Today, we'll be picking out very important things!" She exclaimed. I waited. "Names!" I sweat dropped and raised my hand. "Yes?" She asked, picking me.

"Aren't names picked on what you can do?"

"Well, yes. That' why we're going to work up to our names!" She explained. I raised my hand again.

"But names aren't the most important thing out there..."

"Yes they are! How else will you be remembered?" She asked, cheerfully, but I could see she was starting to get annoyed. I didn't even bother raising my hand.

"Well, you're remembered for the things you do. People don't just remember a name without tying that name to something important, or meaningful that person did. You can't just go around, telling everyone your name and expecting it to be remembered. You have to accomplish something great. You have to do that thing you'll be remembered for at the moment, not work up to it. Expecting greatness to come to you and your name is kind of pathetic." I explained with a blank tone. Jessie growled at me, but then smirked.

"Name one example of what you're talking about." She replied smugly. I looked up at her blankly, before deciding to pour it on.

"Team Rocket." I replied, still blank. She froze, and gave me a look that said 'do go on'. "Well, you don't just remember Team Rocket for being yet another group of bad guys with a unique name. No, Team Rocket is usually known as an evil organization, considering what they've tried to do in the past." Jessie wore an understanding look.

"Well, okay, I guess you can say that…" She trailed, standing straight, looking up, and putting a finger on her chin in thought. She snapped back down at me. "Fine then, Brat, if you know so much about this stuff, what's your nickname?" She asked. I was about to say I didn't have a nick name, when someone just had to answer for me.

"Her name is the Silent Fighter." Someone stated. I whipped around and was shocked to find out Lily replied with a smug smile.

"Well, why don't you show us why you got that name? Lily, Marina, fight!" She commanded. Aaron face-palmed, probably because I now had to blow my cover a little, but I stopped in my movements.

I never told her my name…


And that was chapter three! I hope it had something to do with an actual drama class, since I haven't taken on yet, But I hope you enjoyed! See ya soon!
