I stared at the girl standing at the front door. It was, as Satan can guess, Brandi Morgan, in all her slutty mean girl glory, complete with trademark scowl. Her eyes went from me to Austin.
"What are you doing here with the freak?" Brandi demanded. I shot her a cold glare.
"Rehearsing," Austin said, coolly. She narrowed her eyes.
"I don't see a script," she said.
"Well, that's because both of us actually has a brain in our heads and we've memorized the entire play, dumbass," I retorted, the words tumbling out before I could stop them. Brandi narrowed her eyes and she looked like a bitch. Literally.
"Fuck off, freakshow," Brandi said. I gave her a disgusted look. That has got to be the worst comeback in the book.
"No, thank you. I don't like girls," I said. Brandi looked frustrated and her face turned red like a tomato.
"We are over, Austin. And as for you, bitch," she snarled, "You better make sure I don't catch you alone with my friends," I laughed, as if she just made a hilarious joke.
"Which would be a bigger threat if you can fight without squealing about a broken nail or if I actually care what people say about me," I said, "Now, go back to your doll house and play, Barbie," I said. That was enough to get Brandi simmering and she stomped off and slammed the door.
"Oh my, that might come back to bite us in the ass soon," Austin said and shook his head.
We had started shooting again and I was back in the same ridiculous position I was in.
"Alright and Action!" Mrs. Morris said. I looked down at Austin, who was staring back at me.
"Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike," Austin said. I made myself look like I was freaking out.
"How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore? The orchard walls are high and hard to climb and the place death, considering who thou art, if any of my kinsmen find thee here," I whispered.
"With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls; For stony limits cannot hold love out and what love can do that dares love attempt; Therefore thy kinsmen are no let to me," Austin said, as if he were explaining something.
"If they do see thee, they will murder thee," I said.
"Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet and I am proof against their enmity," Austin said, in a pleading voice.
"I would not for the world they saw thee here," I said, as if I was almost talking to myself.
"I have night's cloak to hide me from their sight and but thou love me, let them find me here: My life were better ended by their hate than death prorogued, wanting of thy love,"
"By whose direction found'st thou out this place?" I asked.
"By love, who first did prompt me to inquire; He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes. I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far as that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea, I would adventure for such merchandise," Austin said in a dramatic tone.
"Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face, else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek. For that which thou hast heard me speak to-night, fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny. What I have spoke: but farewell compliment! Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay,' and I will take thy word: yet if thou swear'st, thou mayst prove false; at lovers' perjuries. Then say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo, If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully: or if thou think'st I am too quickly won, I'll frown and be perverse an say thee nay so thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world. In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond and therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light but trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true than those that have more cunning to be strange. I should have been more strange, I must confess, but that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware. My true love's passion: therefore pardon me and not impute this yielding to light love which the dark night hath so discovered," I was breathless by the time I had finished Juliet's speech. Oh, Shakespeare, why couldn't you just made the speech shorter by saying 'Hey, Romeo, do you like me?', I thought.
"Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear that tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops…" I cut Austin off.
"O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon that monthly changes in her circled orb, lest that thy love prove likewise variable," I said.
"What shall I swear by?" Austin asked. I wanted to shake my head and say, I don't know, but I had a script to go by.
"Do not swear at all or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self, which is the god of my idolatry and I'll believe thee," Oh, great. Now, this entire thing will go to Austin's head, I thought.
"If my heart's dear love…" Austin began.
"Well, do not swear: although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract to-night. It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden, too like the lightning, which doth cease to be ere one can say 'It lightens.' Sweet, good night! This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath may prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. Good night, good night! as sweet repose and rest. Come to thy heart as that within my breast!" I said and was about to leave when Austin spoke again.
"O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?" Austin said. There was a double meaning in his words. I gave him a curious look.
"What satisfaction canst thou have to-night?" I asked.
"The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine," Austin said.
"I gave thee mine before thou didst request it:
And yet I would it were to give again," I said, in a fake longing voice. Austin acted surprised.
"Wouldst thou withdraw it? For what purpose, love?" Austin asked.
"But to be frank, and give it thee again and yet I wish but for the thing I have. My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite," I heard the girl playing the Nurse, Tia call. That was my cue.
"I hear some noise within; dear love, adieu! Anon, good nurse! Sweet Montague, be true. Stay but a little, I will come again," I said and left the balcony.
"CUT!" Mrs. Morris said. I let out a long breath of relief. Mrs. Morris complimented us before sending us to change into normal clothes.
I got out of the room in a jeans and a white shirt with brown boots. As I walked, Haley, one of Brandi's cohorts' sister, Courtney appeared in front of me. I gave her a scared look. She looked around before she whispered
"Look, Ally, Brandi's planning a really big and humiliating prank on you at school tomorrow so be on your guard. All I know is that they want to sabotage something. Also, Sparks Fly," Courtney said and she turned on her heel and ran away.
I walked to the car park. Since Austin offered to take me home, I'd agreed. What Courtney said weighed heavily on my mind. I was quiet in the trip, even when one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs came on.
The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless
That should send me runnin'
But I kinda know that I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something,
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be.
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would...
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me, it's just wrong enough to make it feel right.
And lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow?
I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.
Drop everything now,
Meet me in the pouring rain,
Kiss me on the sidewalk,
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
And the sparks fly...
Oh, baby, smile...
And the sparks fly...
Wait, sparks fly? What did she mean? There was nothing about the song that could mean anything. I sighed and leaned my head on the seat and closed my eyes.
So, what did you think?
