All is fair in love and war

Chapter 1 - Guinea pigs

 Looking at his smug face, I think I slightly threw up in my mouth a little. No way he was going to be Mrs Jones's favourite.

Amora... Amora, are you here? My friend Gen nudged me and whispered under her breath Register!

Err, yes Mila. Mrs Jones sighed, took off her glasses and gave me an exasperated look, For the last time Mora it's Mrs Jones to my students, remember? The wannabe Mrs Jones favourite snorted " Mora, as in moray eel". Leo the kid with way too much energy snickered. No as in A M O R A, do I need to teach you how to spell dingus I sneered at him. Sorry Mila, I mean Mrs Jones I chirped turning back to Mrs Jones.

She sighed and continued with the register, "Genevieve", "Yes miss", my best friend Gen burbled. "Jesus, she said with an exhale, It's Gen, I can't believe my parents named me like I was an 18th-century girl. Gen repeatedly smacked her head onto the table, "Stop that Genny boo" I cooed. She snickered.

Just then I heard his annoying voice, It's Alex actually Miss. Of course, sweetie Mrs Jones responded. I rolled my eyes and turned back to gossip with Gen. From the corner of my eye, I saw him glance at me. Ewwwwwwww

Mrs Jones clapped her hands together; this year's play will be Romeo and Juliet. I couldn't help myself, I squealed, like an idiot. Mrs Jones smiled at my reaction. But Alec or whatever his name scowled and said I sounded like a guinea pig.

Several kids turned around and gave me confused looks, but I couldn't help the growing grin on my face, I sighed contentedly: I love being a drama nerd.

I exchanged a knowing happy look with Gen while Mrs Jones tried to get the class chatter to stop. Slowly enough everyone's conversation died down when Mrs Jones drew a chart on the board. I squinted my eyes to look at it, sitting in the back of the classroom.

Gen turned to me and grumbled Do you wanna know what it says. Yes, I pleaded...... Well, it says we have to focus on a topic. I gave her a quizzical frown. Well, what are the topics then? LOVE OR WAR? Gen said. Oooooooh this is easy I squealed we'll do war and we can show the dangers of war but also the courage and dedication needed to fight for your family.

I enthusiastically flipped out my Nevo jot pad notebook. Gen sighed and muttered you don't get it, do you? I don't get what I whispered. There are 12 of us and it's a vote, she continued the original Romeo and Juliet is a romantic tragedy meaning love. Who the hell is going to pick love over war in a play, amora, Gen finished with a hiss.

That's when it finally dawned on me, there was going to be a vote and I probably wouldn't win it.
