I am not profiting at all from this story.
A/n—at the beginning of each chapter it says what day of the week it is. If it says 'Still ' that means the day of the week is the same as the day before it. (duh?) If it doesn't say 'Still' before it that means it is a new day. Please R&R!

Coin- I can just picture a struggling Dutchy coming out of the guidance office and trailing pamphlets behind him. So cute!

Mush's PoV
"Places everyone! PLACES!" I swear to God that Miss Larkson would have an aneurysm.
It was the first dress rehearsal. Ever.
Twitch was dancing around the stage in her nun habit. She'd completely forgotten about her nunish behaviour. Now she completely resembled a bird.
I put on my cloak and fastened it around my shoulders. Then I put on a matching black hat with a giant purple feather. I wild say I looked regal, but hilarious is more the word.
"Nice costume," came Blink's voice from behind me. His reflection was visible out of the corner of my mirror.
He was wearing a cloak similar to mine only in brown, and a big musketeer hat. His eye patch was still brown, but it was now made of suede-like material. It completed his costume.
"Hi Blink." I smiled. "You look pretty good."
He walked over and put his arm around my waist.
"Thanks." We stood there, smiling at our reflections for a while.
After a few minutes like this Dutchy stuck his head into the primarily curtained room. "Guys........." he paused, spotting us, "it's time." And he left.
Blink kissed my forehead. "Let's go," he whispered.
I smoothed out my cloak and followed him.
Dutchy's PoV
The start of rehearsal was delayed because we couldn't find Mush or Blink, which wouldn't be such a big problem if they both weren't in the first scene. It's funny, because I'm Romeo and the show could start without me! My name is in the title of the play for Christ's sakes! It's ROMEO and Juliet!
But on stage were Blink, Mush, Rain, March, Spinner, Jim, and Catch, and I was off stage watching.
There were a few kids working on the sets and a few more working on the lighting, curtains, and sound systems.
Sitting in the front row of the auditorium is Specs. He waves to me slightly and I feel my heart rise. It's like when you go bungee jumping, or right before a drop on a roller coaster. Only ten times more exciting, and ten times more exhilarating. I wave back.
Miss Larkson stops the scene and turns to me. "Yes John? Is there a problem?"
She must have mistaken my waving.
I shook my head and blushed—what's that saying? 'Sixteen shades of red'—whatever it was, that's what I did.
In the aisle Specs was rolling with laughter. I glared at him but he flashed me a smile and I couldn't help but feel good again.
Songs are so happy and I felt like seriously trying to talk in rhyme to go along with my new giddy, heart-floating nature.
Luckily William Shakespeare liked to rhyme or else I'd be in even more crap with Miss Larkson.
A/n: OK, I'm going to correct myself here. Shakespeare didn't always rhyme, usually only in his sonnets (there are two in Romeo and Juliet, none of which are said by Romeo). Sorry for that technicality! Please overlook it! R&R!
