the school was reopened now after the deadly fire that burned the school and almost claiming Haley Kay Long's & Olivia Mears's life that was caused by her former award winning house cat which was taken care off by multiple firefighters that day Haley was sitting in her usual seat in class reading her book with Olivia sitting beside Haley with her eyes closed and her chin resting on her hands thinking heavily about her feelings toward Jake's seven year old sister when came rushing in the classroom interrupting the former bully's thoughts
Ms. McGuire : good morning class
All : morning
Ms. McGuire : i just had this idea for a romantic school play
Olivia : a romantic school play ?
Ms. McGuire : yes Olivia a romantic school play
Olivia : this could be my chance to finally confess my feeling toward Haley
Ms. McGuire : so i have these roles for you to play as
handing out the papers filled with different roles everyone was looking through the roles from there they picked a role that they liked Olivia had picked the role where the girl has to get her first kiss this made her really happy now Haley had the role of playing as the girl who is blind to the girls feelings
Haley : this is going to be fun don't you think ?
Olivia : oh yes it's going to be fun (fun for me when we go on stage on perform )
for the next few hours the class were going over their lines until it was Haley & Olivia's turn standing in front of the classroom while the other students watched on as Haley performed her lines without reading the paper Olivia did the same
Olivia : can't you see i'm madly in love with you i always have been since day one
Haley : i know you are but i don't have the same feelings for you
Olivia : i gave you everything your heart desires and yet you're telling me that you don't love me the same way i love you ?
Haley : yes i am
Olivia : i don't have other choice i just want to ask you for one thing a kiss
Haley : i don't have any idea what you're talking about but please understand that i do-
before she could finish that sentence Olivia grabs by the arms with strong grip kissing her directly in front of the class & teacher the seven year old was caught off guard by that not expecting her to that the class clapped their hands together including the teacher then the bell rang after class Haley confronted her in the hallway
Haley : Olivia
Olivia : yes Haley
Haley : why did you kiss me the way you did earlier ?
Olivia : well i just thought i er...never mind
Haley : come on tell me !
Olivia : it's nothing
now walking away from her heading further down the hall confused by this now but shakes off her suspicion however she kept a close eye on her a few hours later it was time for the play to begin everyone in town was there including her brother , her mom & dad and her brother's two friends backstage all of the students were in costume one girl came over to Olivia with her dress on asking the same question that Haley asked her before
Olivia : okay i have developed a crush on Haley
Haley was listening to her confession to her classmate telling her that she was going to use this play to finally confess the play begins and starts out the same way it was in their classroom Jonathan feel asleep for the few minutes of the play from there it from two more students who were pursing the two girls after escaping from the compound Susan was starting to get bore until she saw her daughter up on stage with Olivia in their costumes

Susan continued to watch her daughter to see what happens and Olivia grabs her the same way she did in the class this time it was much softer and Haley enjoyed the kiss blushing a little bit their kiss lasted until the curtains closed and everyone stood up clapping & cheering the curtains opened and everyone took a bow toward the crowd throwing roses at their feet afterwards Olivia was looking at herself in the mirror smiling now that she finally shared a kiss with her best friend while confessing her real feelings for her nothing could go wrong or ruin her perfect performance
