The next day, when Raven, BB and Kori walked up to the stairs to their school, a huge crowd was gathered around the drama board.

"What's going on?" Raven asked her friends with a confused expression on her face. This look only lasted a moment. Then her face changed to look exited. "The cast list! It must be up!" Grinning, Kori ran to the board and tried to squeeze past everyone else, followed by her two friends.

"I got the part of Helena!" Kori said happily.

"Helena?" BB mouthed to Raven, who shrugged.

"And you got Hermia, Raven!"

"Does Hermia have a big part?" Raven asked Kori.

"Yeah," Kori smiled happily.

"Awesome!" Then seeing BB and Kori's confused expression at her sudden outburst, she quickly covered up by saying, "Oh, I mean…that's cool." She glared till they looked back at the board and then sighed in relief.

"And BB got Lysander-wait, how is that even possible?" she turned to her spiky-green haired friend who was purposely looking at the ceiling.

"Hem," Raven said loudly, making BB jump and look at them. He took a deep breath.

"I've always wanted to be in a play, okay?" (A.N. I'm a poet and I didn't even know it!) "And I knew you two would laugh, so I tried out the day before yesterday."

"BB, that's brilliant! I'm so happy for you!" Kori said in delight.

"And Gregory got Bottom, oh he'll be good at that and Richard got Demetrius? Oh my god…"

"Really? Ha ha!" BB said, stifling a chuckle.

"What-Where-Who's Richard?" Kori asked Raven.

"A complete, total and all-around asshole," Raven said. And Kori, still not used to Raven swearing, flinched.

"Dick the dick!" BB laughed.

"Oh the two of you!" Kori said, hugging both her friends. As Raven and BB's arm bumped, they both blushed, secretly glad that Kori hadn't noticed.

"Demetrius, Demetrius, where for art thou Demetrius? Deny thy father and refuse my name or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be a…a…uh… well, something like that," Alex teased Richard as they walked down the hall, Richard hiding inside his jacket.

"That's 'Romeo and Juliet', moron," Stu informed Alex. The whole team stopped and stared at him all thinking, 'I don't even want to know how he knew that!'

"Well, it's all Greek to me," Alex shrugging his shoulders as he broke the awkward silence.

"Y'know, it's not that bad, you can come out," Mick said. The lump inside the jacket moved slightly.

"Would you do that if you were in my place?" came Richard's muffled voice from inside the jacket.

"No way! Who are you trying to kid?" Mick said.

"Dicky-Poo!" Kim's shrill voice came from the end of the hall. (A.N. Kitten usually shrieks, squeals, wails, screeches or squeaks.) Richard sank lower into the jacket, if that was possible. Kim's clacking heels became louder and louder until at last they stopped and he knew she was standing right in front of him.

"I'm-" Kim stopped. "Where's my Dicky-Poo?"

"Hiding," Cy said, rolling his eyes. He put his arm around her shoulder. "But I'll be happy to give you some company if you want."

"Get off, loser," she said. She saw the Jacket without and head and pulled down the zipper to find Richard with his eyes shut.

"Dicky-Poo! I've found you!" (A.N. I'm STILL a poet, but now I know it!)

"No my eyes are shut," Richard argued. "You can't see me, because I can't see you."

"Uh huh…But guess what? I'm Mustardseed in the play!" Kim shrieked. (A.N. For all of you who don't read Shakespeare and waste your time doing something dumb like making a shrine to praise Kitten, Mustardseed is a very small part and she has no lines.)

"Richard is Demetrius in the play," Alex said slyly.

"O-M-G! Maybe Mustardseed and Demetrius get together!" she squealed. (A.N. For all you people who don't read Shakespeare and waste your time doing something almost as dumb as the Kitten shrine thing, do HOMEWORK! They don't get together. Ever.)

"Maybe…" Richard said.

"What is your problem?" Kim screeched.

"I'm supposed to be a cool kid. But I'm not. I'm in a Shakespeare play dammnit!"

"Oh baby, that's okay. Think of it this way. A bunch of kids will see you and you'll be popular!" Kitten squeaked.

" I already am."

"Okay, you'll become the most popular kid in school."

"I already am."

"Just do it!" Kitten wailed. "I'll see you at rehearsals."

"Actually," Stu said, "They only need the lovers today."

"Well, me and Dicky-poo are lovers!" (A.N. Notice the incorrect grammar. It should be 'Dicky-Poo and I'.)

"No, you're a fairy."

"Fine, I'll see you later, Dicky-Poo!" And with a final 'humph' in Stu's direction, she left.

"Damn, she is really hot." Cy said, staring after her. "Hey Dick is she-"

"No."

Classes went smoothly the rest of the day, Kori getting full marks on her essay which she had written and Raven getting a D. It was better than Dick and co. , who all had the class earlier that day, hadn't handed in their homework and got detentions.

"I can't believe I got a D. What is the matter with that teacher?" Raven exclaimed, shaking her returned essay as though it could change the grade, but she had no such luck. Annoyed, she just crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash.

"Raven!" Kori scolded.

"What?" Raven asked, looking confused.

"You can use that to improve. The teacher puts in comments to help for next time."

"Oh well. I guess I don't improve then." Kori, ignoring the protests of her friend, walked over to the garbage can and picked up the essay, walked back and handed it to Raven.

"Here."

Raven threw it on the ground and ran. Then she looked back at it and cursing her conscience, ran back and picked it up.

"Hey!" Raven looked to see Mrs. Klian.

"What?"

"I saw you litter and then run!"

"I was going to pick it up."

"But you ran, didn't you? Detention for littering and running-"

"But that was only two counts! I need three to get a detention!" Raven said smugly.

"And for talking back to a teacher is three! I will see you in Detention hall today after school!" And she stormed off.

"Damn that damn teacher Dammnit," Raven swore.

"Well, now that Ms. Roth and Mr. Garfield are all dressed, let me see if I can find something for you," Ms. Gagnon said, pushing past BB and Raven to get to the costume room behind the school stage.

"Well, this stinks," BB muttered. He was wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt, and white pants and low sandals.

"Shut up," Raven said, "Unless you wanna switch." She was wearing a purple dress, with puffy sleeves and the hem of the dress reached past her feet. The dress had a very loud design and not at all Raven.

"Here, I have it!" Ms. Gagnon said and from behind her back she produced a simple dress, a very pale green with t-shirt style sleeves and a v shape was cut in the fabric on her collar. At the waist the dress flowed out gently and was made so it was stretchy and if Kori needed to move or was to do the splits in her dress, it wouldn't rip. Kori grinned, took the dress and went to a dressing room behind the stage. She came out moments later. The dress fit her perfectly.

"Okay, one moment," Ms. Gagnon took off Kori's glasses.

"Can you see my dear?" She said.

"Yes. I only use those glasses for reading, but I can see without them."

"Perfect. And on the play night, you'll wear your hair the way you're wearing it now."

"Yes Ms. Gagnon."

"Now give me a moment and we'll go from Lysander's line, How now my love? Why is your cheek so pale? To the beginning of Scene 2 because our Demetrius isn't here yet. And begin!"

"You are late," Mrs. Marsh informed Richard.

"Yeah, about that…I was stopped by a teacher on my way here," Richard lied. "Something about how we should start up a club praising you Ms."

"Oh really?" Mrs. Marsh said.

"Well, yes and I agreed, you're smart, you're beautiful, I mean, there should be a club praising you."

"Well, I can't deny what's true," Mrs. Marsh said, fluffing her hair.

"Oh, Richard! Our star! Please come in," Ms. Gagnon whispered happily from her chair in the audience. Richard slipped past and took a seat beside the teacher. He put his feet up on the chair in front of him, much to Ms. Gagnon's dismay and began to watch.

"Helena, adieu" BB looked at his script, " As you on him, Demetrius dote on you!" The green-haired boy exited the stage and Richard saw the girl who he presumed the other guy had been talking to. Helena. Helena looked sad, trudging down the stage. She looked up. Richard had to put a hand over his mouth to stop himself gasping. The girl was really pretty! What with ruby-red hair and emerald-green eyes. She sat down on the end of the stage her eyes looking out at the audience.

"How happy some o'er other-some can be! Through Athens, I am thought as fair as she. But what of that?" The girl now looked angry "Demetrius thinks not so; And as he eers, doting on Hermia's eyes," The girl said trembling. She bit her lip as tears began to fall down her pale cheeks. Richard's eyes grew big. How did she do that? "He hail'd down oaths that he was only mine; and when this hail some heat from Hermia felt, So he dissolved, and showers of oaths did melt." She sniffed, wiped her eyes and began walking off the stage. Then she stopped and looked at the audience and Richard could see a grin beginning to grow on her face. "I will go and tell him of fair Hermia's flight: Then to the wood will he tomorrow night pursue her; and for this intelligence if I have thanks, it is a dear expense: But herein mean I to enrich my pain, to have my sight thither and back again." She gleefully ran off the stage. A moment later, she ran back on, followed by the green-haired boy and Raven. Oh shit. Just pretend she's not there, Richard, he told himself and followed Mrs. Gagnon to the foot of the stage.

"How did you know all the lines?" Mrs. Gagnon asked Helena. Helena shrugged.

"I've read this play a million times, I know all the lines," she said smiling.

"Well, lovers, this is Demetrius," Mrs. Gagnon said, motioning towards Richard. Demetrius, Lysander," Mrs. Gagnon pointed at the green-haired boy, "Hermia," he pointed at Raven who looked at the ceiling straight away, "And Helena, who will be in love with you." Richard took Kori's hand and kissed it. She turned a crimson color and Raven rolled her eyes.

"Wait," Richard said, "Don't I love Helena?"

"No. You love Hermia." Mrs. Gagnon pointed at Raven who immediately looked back at the ceiling. "Then you fall in love with Helena later."

"Okay…" Richard's head hurt. Kori giggled nervously. He glanced at her and grinned. All thoughts of Kim seemed to have disappeared.

"I'll see you all again tomorrow in period 4. You will have permission to skip whatever lesson it is and come here," Mrs. Gagnon said. Richard grinned as he walked out.

Good.

Another free period to smoke in.

I know, he's gotta stop.

Review because I know you love me!
