"Sorry, princess! It's nothing personal!"
Larry shouts as he runs up ahead with the the soccer ball, after having taken it away from Y/N.

Y/N laughs,
"Neither is this!"

Larry hadn't even noticed that his girlfriend was right behind him, until he felt himself being nudged out of the way and the ball was taken from him.

Y/N giggles as she turns back around with the ball at her feet and spots Sal flagging her down.

"Over here, sweetheart!"
Sal calls, laughing slightly at his girlfriends competitive move on Larry.

Y/N kicks the ball as far as she could, over to Sal.
Sal takes hold of the ball with his foot and begins running with Vipers help to the red teams soccer net, that Mr. Benson had set up earlier after Larry and Sal had brought them out.

Y/N began to run up to Sal and Viper to help them if they needed, but a strong arm wrapped around her waist before she could go anywhere.

"You sneaky little minx,"
Larry chuckles in Y/N's ear.

"You started it,"
The H/C haired girl retorted with a cocky smirk.
"I just had the guts to finish it."

"Speaking of finishing things, I have a soccer game to win."
Y/N smiled before pushing Larry away gently, sticking her tongue out at him as she ran to aid Sal and Viper.

Larry smirked as he watched her run. His eyes wondered down her form, his eyes full with nothing less than love.
"My girl..."
Larry laughed in disbelief, but also amusement.

Y/N, Viper, and Jane all walked out of the girls locker room with slightly rosy cheeks, from having done all that running in gym class.

Y/N's team had won, of course. Everyone played well, and all played a good part in helping achieve the goal of being the winning team.

Y/N took a deep breath in, before sighing at the realization of her next class.

"What's the matter?"
Viper asked.

Jane looked over at Y/N as well, having the same inquiry on her mind.

"Nothing really, it's just I don't want to go to my next class."
Y/N responded with a dramatic sigh, her shoulders slouching slightly.

"I hear ya, when I had Drama last semester, I dreaded every second of it. There's too much presenting infront of the class, and it's so boring. Makes me anxious, I'm so glad it's over now though."
Jane said.

Although, her words didn't totally give Y/N a positive attitude, it did give her some reassurance that other people agreed with her that Drama class was infact a drag.

"Hey, don't worry about it, Y/N. The class is only for an hour, just keep it together and then you're out of there. And it's lunch time right after, so that's an added bonus."
Viper giggled.

Viper is a very positive, and reassuring friend. Same with Mimi. They really have their lives together, which is helpful for the rest of their friend group because the rest of them are complete hot messes. Most of the time.
But just because they have some issues of their own, doesn't mean they aren't the bestest friends in the whole world!

"Yeah, you got this Y/N. Well, I better get to my math class before Mr. Francis has my ass for being late."
Jane grumbled.

Y/N sighed again.
"Okay, bye Jane."

Viper nodded, indicating she had to go as well.
"I have to get to Chemistry, see you later Y/N, good luck!"
Viper rooted for the young woman.

"Have fun with Mr. Schmitt."
Y/N called back as Viper gave her a parting smile before speed walking in the direction of her locker.

Now left alone, Y/N decided she should also make her way to her own locker to put her gym clothes away. Ready to begin the long and excruciating hour of Drama class.

"Alright students! We have talked with the Vice Principal, Mrs. Phelps, and she has decided we will be putting on the play for Romeo and Juliet for the entire school!"
Y/N's drama teacher exclaimed giddily.

Mrs. Simon had dark brown hair with darker skin and a smaller build, her hair was cut short but she held her head up high. Her outfits usually consist of bright colored clothes, and many necklaces. Some people call her crazy, but she's just eccentric.

Y/N's eyes widened.
'Infront of the whole school?!'
She panicked in her mind.

"Because you're all graduating this year, this will be your final exam, so to say. You will all audition for a part, and Mrs. Phelps and I will decided who plays as who."
Mrs. Simon, the Drama teacher, informed the class.

Y/N groaned under her breath in annoyance.
'Great, just another thing I needed to deal with. As if this class wasn't bad enough.'

Y/N let her head lightly slam against her desk table, catching the attention of a bystander. Y/N groaned, while Travis looked over to her upset form.

"What's the matter with you?"
Travis asked.

Y/N kept her head laying on the desk, but turned to face Travis as she looked up at him.

"Didn't you hear what Mrs. Simon just said? We have to do a play!"
Y/N whined.

Travis laughed slightly.
"So what? It can't be that bad, right?"

"Did you not hear the part where we have to perform it infront of the entire school?"
Y/N's voice became muffled as her face was now pressed against the desk again, her visage not visible to Travis anymore.

"Well, yeah...I suppose that's not the best, but we can get through it. You're a strong woman, Y/N. Some little play isn't going to kill you."
Travis smiled sincerely, he brushed a strand of Y/N's hair out of her face to possibly be able to see her better.

Y/N looked at him, ignoring his strange action.
"You mean it? You think we will actually live through this?"
Y/N said sarcastically with a false pout.

"Of course I do,"
Travis reassured.

"I'll make sure we get the best parts."
Travis smiled.

But something about his smile didn't seem entirely sincere. It looked more sinister than angelic.
