Chapter 36

Greek night was in three days. Aveline was prepared. Rehearsals had been going well. She and Gerald were making it through even though it was awkward, especially with Maxwell's jokes. The prep team was now here helping. Arno and Desmond had volunteered to help with the microphones and all that. Leo was also helping with the costumes. Today was one of the final rehearsals then it would be the dress rehearsal. Currently, everyone was in the auditorium.

"Okay everyone one more run-through and we are done" Gerald announced from the stage. He was so ready to be done with this. It pained him to see Aveline looking at Conner like that.

Maria and Evie were sitting together. Evie still felt weird after Spring Break when Aveline said she still liked Conner. At this point, though Aveline did tell her friends she and Gerald broke up. Evie leaned over to Marai and whispered "Hey can we talk after this"

"Sure" Maria nodded. A bit confused why Evie was being so secretive. During the rehearsals, Maria picked up on how good Aveline and Conner's acting was you could almost say they weren't acting.

The rehearsal ended and Evie and Maria walked to the student union together. "Did you see the way Aveline and Conner weren't acting" Maria did air quotes when she said acting.

"They weren't acting" Evie blurted out stopping and looking at Maria.

Maria then made a confused face "what?"

"I'll catch you up but let's get some food," Evie told her. They walked in ordered food and sat down at a table away from other people. Evie then told Maria what happened at Spring Break and everything.

"Now I feel bad" Maria put some fires in her mouth. "I was making jokes and shit but I didn't realize... damn"

"I just feel bad for Aveline. She just needs to wait at this point though" Evie took a sip of her milkshake.

"This play is going to be more interesting now. Have you told Elise?"

Evie shook her head. "I need to but she's busy with her own stuff and I don't want to bother her."

"I get it. Anyways I say we pay attention during the play and final dress rehearsal" Maria was now even more interested.

The two days went by fast. Evie and Maria noticed how Aveline seemed more reserved. Now it was the final dress rehearsal. Everyone was in the auditorium in full costume. "Everyone looks great!" Elise observed she was wearing a shorter white toga.

"I know I actually love my toga" Maria spun around. Her toga was long and with black and dark purple coloring and accents. She knew she looked great.

"Same I never thought I would wear a dress this comfortable" Evie admired her green toga. She also had her hair in an updo with fauna and flowers weaved in it.

"I look like a god" Jacob boasted coming up to them. He wore a shorter blue toga since he was Neptune. Evie rolled her eyes and Maria and Elise just chuckled.

Arno then walked up to them with the microphones "I wish I could wear one of yalls outfits they are so cool looking"

"We should all be Greek Gods for Halloween" Jacob's face lit up.

"That's so far from now" Maria pointed out. "Anyways how's doing Microphones and all that going for you Arno"

Arno was putting a mic on Elise and looked at Maria "It's okay just taking a minute to figure out. The only issue I have is if I accidentally hit a wrong button everyone will hear me and that would be so embarrassing"

"That does sound embarrassing" Evie agreed.

"You look dashing Jacob!" Maxwell glided over to Jacob wearing his toga. He was playing Zeus.
