"Where in the bloody hell is he with the cast list? It's 5 in the afternoon! It should be up by now!" Draco Malfoy practically shouted. He was very, very annoyed. So annoyed in fact that even if the director showed up now, he might hex him just out of spite.
"Hey, calm down there Blondie, he'll be here in a minute or two at most" said a somewhat annoyed Bridget Granger, "I'm just as anxious as you are. Trust me. This is the most exciting point in my life thus far."
"People! People!" shouted Roger, "People, I have the cast list here if you want to see it. You all were splendid, but there can only be one Romeo and one Juliet. Now, be nice and take turns looking at it, ok? Rehearsals begin tomorrow at 11 in the morning! Be there darlings!" Roger taped up the list and practically skipped away while everyone just kind of stared at him like he was the walking dead. Everyone except Draco. Bridget sighed and calmly made her way up to the cast list. She ran her finger down it, when she found her name she smiled softly and walked away.
"What did you get?" Draco asked as he touched her arm. His touch made Bridget turn around and look at him.
"I got Juliet," she said and began to walk away.
Draco looked after her for a moment and then decided that he had waited long enough. He pushed past some people and looked at the list. He gazed down the list and when he saw his part his heart almost stopped. He got Romeo! He got the one part that he had always wanted! He ran down the hall after Bridget, whom he felt a weird kind of connection with even though he hadn't really talked to her or anything, and when he finally caught up to her he tapped her on the shoulder and said "Guess what?"
She laughed and said "What Blondie?"
"I'm going to be your Romeo in this play."
Bridget looked at him without surprise. "Am I supposed to not have known this? You were the best guy there yesterday."
"Thanks. I just wanted to tell you though."
Bridget smiled. "Oh really? Ok then. I'll see you tomorrow at 11 for our first rehearsal. I have some things I have to take care of."
"See 'ya." Draco said as he smirked to himself.
"I can't believe this," a hideously obnoxious voice came from behind him.
Draco groaned and turned around to see a girl with dark brown hair cut in a bob.
"What are you doing here?"
"What do you mean what an I doing here? You know perfectly well what I'm doing here."
Draco groaned. "Actually, I have no idea why you're here, so please, do tell me. Now."
Pansy smirked. "Well you see darling, anywhere you go I'll go too. Because I love you."
"You're insane. You. Are. Insane. You know that?"
"No sweetie pie, I'm not insane. I just love you so much."
"How'd you get in anyway? I didn't see you yesterday auditioning."
"Oh, well you see, I'm here to help out with the stage crew and technical stuff. I'm rooming with the girl you were just talking with. Nice girl, VERY plain though. Very."
"Can't you just accept the fact that we're over? I must have told you a thousand times, I only asked you to that damn dance because I had no one else to go with and I wasn't about to go alone. And for your information, that girl happens to be the female lead in this play and not only can she act, she's gorgeous."
Pansy looked as though someone had ripped out her heart. The fact had never occurred to her that Draco had moved on. She thought that it was just another one of his mind games and he would come back to her eventually.
With that Draco turned and walked away from her to go and hide in his room, because she scared him sometimes with all her stalking nonsense. Pansy just stared after him, still in shock. How could he think any girl was beautiful except for her? "Well," Pansy thought, "I guess I'll just have to do everything in my power to ruin this show for her and to ruin any relationship those two may have. I will get my baby back. I will." And with that Pansy returned to her room, to see what dirt she could dig up on Bridget.
