Hi y'all. Sorry it took a bit to get this one-shot out. Real life has been kind of hectic for me. But it's here! And I hope you enjoy it. This takes place about 8 years before the apocalypse. I vaguely remember Xylo saying he was 26, so he would be 18-19 here. And I'm assuming Kayla is the same age. They are seniors in highschool. Also, other then Xylo and Kayla, all of the characters' names I just randomly chose. So if your name ends up being one of them, it was a complete coincidence. Now onto the story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Third Person POV:

It was around 12 PM on a Wednesday, so about noon. All the students were sitting in the cafeteria when suddenly a group of students walked in. Specifically, the theatre kids. Most people just ignored them as the group went to sit at there usual table.

Lillian - I'm just saying! Romeo and Juliet would have been so much better if it had guns in it.

Daniel - but it's a play from decades ago. I don't think guns even existed when it was written!

Lillian - but just imagine it! Like Romeo and Juliet are about to kiss and then, bang! One of them gets shot in the head!

Xylo - the first time they kissed was in like the second act of the play. The story would be over before you even got into the exciting stuff.

Lillian - I know! But still. It would have been so much more interesting!

Katelyn - you're a weirdo lily.

Xylo - Katelyn, we're all weirdos.

Katelyn - fair enough, I guess.

Daniel - anyways, changing subjects, you guys have anyone you're thinking of asking to prom?

Katelyn - nah. I honestly don't know if I'm even gonna go.

Daniel - oh no, you're going. If these two are dragging me along then you are going to.

Lillian - Danny's right kate. We're all gonna go. Besides, it's prom! You only ever get to go once. Are you really gonna pass that up!?

Xylo - yeah, and on top of that, I heard that Emma doesn't have a date yet. You could shoot your shot.

Katelyn - oh shut it, Xylo. Besides, even if she was gay, there is no way she'd like someone like me.

Xylo - you'll never know unless you try.

Lillian - speaking of! I heard you and Kayla have been getting pretty close haven't you Xylo? Are you gonna ask her?

Xylo - noooooo way. That is not happening.

Daniel - well, why not?

Xylo - because it's not.

Katelyn - oh come on, you can't tell me to suck it up and ask my crush out if you can't even do it yourself!

Xylo - I don't like her like that! We're good friends, that's it.

Lillian - yeah sure, such good friends that you wait outside fencing club for her after our rehearsals.

Katelyn - and stay up till like three AM texting her.

Lillian - and just paly along when she comes up to you and pretends you're her boyfriend to get away from other guys. 

Katelyn - and don't forget the fact that you-

Xylo - okay! I get it! We're closer than normal friends, so what?

Daniel - so, admit it dude. You totally like her.

Xylo - no, no I don't.

Daniel - right. So you don't mind if I ask her then?
