Giselle POV:

Skipping to next Thursday, I'm sitting here in my third period Shakespeare listening to my teacher explain to us our Shakespeare project. Apparently, we are going to be split into five groups with the other Shakespeare class and reenact the scene given to us.

This is one of the few classes Rory and I aren't in together so I hope I get to be in the same group as her; she's really good with Shakespeare. Tristan is supposed to be in this class with me but he got his ass suspended, for God knows what this time, again and he's coming back either tomorrow or Monday. Henry is also in this class with me but he got act 3 and I got act 5. This other guy, Brad, I think his name was, is also with me in act 5 and our teacher said the other members are in the other class.

When the teacher dismisses us, I walk outside the classroom and see Rory talking to Paris, Madeline, and Louise outside so I approach them.

"Hey, guys." I say when i reach them.

"Hey." they all say back to me, Paris not so enthusiastic.

"Did you just get out of Shakespeare?" Rory asks me.

"Yeah."

"Which act?" she asks.

"Act 5." I tell her.

"Great, you're with us then." Madeline tells me.

We start discussing when we're meeting up and where to work on our project then we all head to our classes.

The next day, after Rory and I are done with our last class, physics, we walk together to the cafeteria to meet up with Brad, Louise, and Madeline. I'm guessing Paris is late. Brad is sitting quietly, Louise is in her natural state, filing her nails, and Madeline is reading a magazine. Rory sits down next to brad and i sit next to her. 

"Hey guys, hey Brad." I greet everybody.

"Hey." Madeline says back.

"We're the monkeys." Louise sings.

"Where's Paris?" Rory asks.

"She'll be here in a minute. She had to go get some things." Madeline tells us and flips to the next page in her magazine.

"Hi, I'm Rory." Rory tells Brad who's sitting next to her.

"I'm Brad, from the third period Shakespeare." he introduces himself then looks up to the ceiling.

"Okay, nice to meet you. How about we just start." Rory changes the subject.

"Without Paris?" Madeline asks.

"That could be lethal." Louise adds.

"We could at least decide on what motif." I suggest but then Paris comes storming in with a box over her head that has props and costumes inside.

"We're doing traditional Elizabethan." Paris tells us and sets the box on the center of this long.

"Elizabethan? But I thought the point of this was--" Rory begins but Paris cuts her off.

"The point is to get an "A" not make "Romeo and Juliet" into a Vegas lounge act. Besides, we have the death scene. It's classic. It's famous. Who are you?" Paris decides then asks Brad.

"I'm, uh, Brad. from the third period Shakespeare... Ma'am," he tells her but she doesn't care, Paris takes out a stack of booklets and hands us all one each.

"I want everyone to read the chapters on acting. I photocopied them out of houseman's memoirs tonight. Everyone will be off-book by Friday. If you plan on missing rehearsal, you better bring a corner's note." Paris tells us and takes out a sword from the box and lays it on the table.
