after eddie was done taking a lifetime to set up, there was still about 15 minutes till everyone should start arriving.

"hey eds?" i said to eddie, who was just fixing the positions of everything on the board.

"what's up?" he replied, not really too interested in whatever im gonna say. "do you remember in middle school, we had that play?" i ask, doubting he does.

"oh yeah, romeo and juliet." he stated, finally looking at me with his full attention. "and you remember how i was juliet and you were-"

"romeo, yeah." he finished my sentence. "can i be honest with you?" he nods. "you're audition sucked. the only reason you got that role is because i talked to mrs. martinez to let you be romeo." i admitted.

"what? why did you even want me to be him?" he was truly confused. "eds..." i walked closer to him.

"because i wanted to kiss you." i swear, it came out much cornier than i expected, but it's kind of too late.

he was sitting down in his 'throne' and i was standing, so he looked up at me and whispered "really?" it was so quiet, that if you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't hear it.

he stood up and we got so close, faces inches away. i leaned in and-

"hey guys!" jeff barges in with donny and gareth.

eddie and i quickly pull away from eachother and he sits back down. eventually, everyone showed up.

eddie was sneaking me glances the whole time he was waiting for the others. thought he was slick.

as soon as erica walked in the door, eddie said "absolutely not." he scoffed. "you asked for a sub, we delivered." dustin said. 

"this is hellfire club, not babysitting club," eddie added. his rudeness was really catching me off guard. he was never super rude to kids and erica is a good kid. funny, too.

"im 11, you long haired freak!" erica yelled, making me laugh. eddie shot me a bad look, so i quickly composed myself.

"my, my. the child speaks," eddie said and all his little minions laughed. "so, what's your name, child?" he asked.

"erica sinclair." erica said like it was obvious. eddie laughed. "so this is sinclairs infamous sister." he said.

"he's sharp," erica joked. i laughed, again. rather loudly i must add. but everyone else did too.

"what's your class and level?" eddie started. "level 1 dwarf?" everyone laughed at this except me, knowing erica was about to pop off.

"my name is lady applejack. im a chaotic good half-elf rogue, level 14. and i will sneak behind any monster you throw my way and stab them in the back with my poisoned-soaked kukri. and ill smile as i watch them die a slow, agonizing death. so, we gon do this? or are we gonna keep chit-chatting like this is your mommys book club?" she said, not stuttering once.
