Chapter Two: New Student
Tori was sitting in her acting class, next to Cat. Jade and Beck were in the back row. The acting teacher Mr. Howard walked into the room and onto the stage area.
Howard smiled and said, "Good morning class! Today we will be working on drama. Now, everyone pick a partner and-"
Mr. Howard was cut off, the door into the classroom opened.
A man with a red jacket and blue jeans entered the room. And spoke, "I'm sorry I'm late Mr. Howard, I lost, I thought this room was on the first floor."
Mr. Howard smiled, "No worries my boy." Howard looked over to the students in the room, "I almost forgot class! We have a new student today!" he looked back over at the man, "Why don't you come up here and introduce yourself?"
"All right." he said and walked up to the stage.
"Um, hello everyone. I'm Zach Peterson, I ah…got into this school for my singing talents. I moved here from New York, with my step-sister, she's in her first year of high school. I do have a brother, but me and him aren't speaking to each other at the moment."
"HI!" Cat shouted.
Zach smiled and flipped his medium length, straight brown hair out of his deep blue eyes.
"Ok then Zach, you can sit here, next to Cat." Mr. Howard said.
Zach walked off the stage and sat down.
Mr. Howard continued, "Ok class, as I was saying: today we're going to work on drama. Now everyone pick a partner and get ready, I will call at random for those to perform a random scene."
A few minutes passed and Jade and Beck partnered up and so did Cat and Zach. Tori partnered with Robby because Andre partnered with Derek.
"All righty class, this is who I choose to go first. Hmmm…Zach and Cat!" said Mr. Howard.
"Yay!" Cat said and ran up to the stage. Zach followed behind her.
Mr. Howard handed them both a script and said, "Zach you are playing Ryan, and Cat you are playing Lacey…ACTION!"
Cat looked at Zach, "Ryan, you can't join the military, you have to stay here with me and raise our child."
Zach looked back, "But Lacey, if I don't, the Russians may attack the United States, and both of your lives will be at stake, I can't lose you."
"It's a risk we must take, please don't go!" Cat said.
"It's something I must do. I will return, I promise it." Zach said, and then kissed Cat.
Cat kissed back, and said, "I love you Ryan."
"Scene." Zach said.
"How was that?" asked Cat.
Mr. Howard looked at them both and said, "It was perfect. The emotion was great. A for both of you. And Zach did you really get in here for only your singing talents? Because you seem to be a expert at acting."
Zach smiled, "I try."
Zach and Cat sat down. Cat looked at Tori. Tori was looking at Cat, she had a look of jealously on her face.
"What's wrong?" Cat asked.
"You get to kiss the new hot guy, and I get stuck with Robby…eh…" Tori said.
"Tori, it was only acting."
"But did you like the kiss?"
"OH MY GOD I LOVED IT!"
Tori sighed.
