Chapter 2: And So It Was

Spencer's POV

It's 7:15 and my friends and I are making our way to the picnic tables.

We were talking about random things as we waited for the bell to signal the start of first period when Kyla's attention flew somewhere else.

To no surprise, I find her staring at a certain group.

Of course, she was taken once again by their appearance, especially by Travis Remington. I give Chelsea a knowing look and we both let out a small laugh at how Kyla was gawking at them.

They were joking around with each other, as they always do, and as I gazed at them for a short while, I notice how truly attractive they are. The thought was stolen from my mind as Kyla spoke.

"They all look so... dreamy." She said while in a semi-trance. "And it's like they're unaware of it."

"Oh, honey. I think they know." Chelsea started convincingly.

"...by the way your staring at them!" I finished.

"Shut up!" Kyla yells, feigning anger.

"He is cute though. Travis." Chelsea decided. "Actually, he kinda looks like Matt Lanter. Yeah?"

"Totally!" Kyla concurred. "What about you, Spence? Excited about making out with Angel-Oh?"

"It's just a play. Nothing more, alright?" I say to my defense.

"If you say so..." The petite brunette says with a playful eye roll.

"Come on Spence! You must like your Romeo." Chelsea insisted.

"Well... Maybe just a little..."

The next day...

"...and I'm telling you Emily, it isn't possible." I heard Colonel Michael Devane say calmly as I prepare to enter Ms. Sundquist's classroom.

"Why the hell isn't it possible?!" Ms. Emily Sundquist countered.

"I told the students that they cannot participate in any extracurricular activity for as long as their complete detention lasts." I noticed that the middle aged man was beginning to lose his calm. "What they did was unacceptable. The Academy will not tolerate such behavior."

"They just had a little fun, you uptight morons!" The late 20s drama teacher said exasperated.

The guilt of eavesdropping tore at me, so I decided to let my presence known. "Excuse me ma'am, sir. I was just gonna get my things." They both nod and continue their exchange while I quietly gather my things.

"The play's tonight, Devane! And it has to have a Romeo. Have you ever heard of a "Just Juliet" version?! I don't think so."

"There's really nothing I can do. I can't take back the punishment" He told Ms. Sundquist, regaining his composure. "Either move the play, or cast one of your girls." A girl? I thought. Not completely sure how I feel about the sudden change.

"Moving it would be impossible. And casting a girl? I don't think they'll be able to learn the script overnight!"

There was a moment of silence as I was on my way out. They seemed to be deep in thought. Then suddenly...

"Put Davies on. Ashley. I've seen her help her brother with the dialogue. I believe she knows most of the lines..."

And so it was.

I have a new Romeo.

Excuse my mistakes and the unrealism of the story. :) Again, reviews would really help! If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. oh and I can't seem to get the spacing right, can anyone help?
