"Miss Fisher and Mr. Thatcher!"
No. No no no no no! Please. Why? Why him? He was literally just making fun of me not fifteen minutes ago. I have to anyway, don't I?
As I head up to the stage, the look of distress on my face is visible. Mr. Edgelle starts speaking.
"And, I present our final couple who will be auditioning today. Both of you, please start reading from page 7."
Will's line is first.
"Juliet, I have something I must tell you."
"What is it Romeo? What is it?"
"Juliet, I am literally in love with you. I understand if you don't feel the same, but please. Please, tell me what you are feeling. I have to know."
"I love you too. I have since the moment I met you. Everyday when I wake up, you are the first thing I think of. You always make me smile"
Saying this, Will smiles at me.
"And scene."
Mr. Edgelle says as he claps his hands together.
"Well, good work here today everyone, I'll send out the final cast on Saturday, and I think that's all."
Mr. Edgelle heads backstage after sorting through some papers, and I start heading down the stairs, but someone grabs my hand from behind, and I spin around. It was Will.
"It says in the script that we're supposed to lean in close for a kiss. Wouldn't be a scene without it, would it?"
As he says this, he starts leaning in. I try to push away, but I can't help but look into those deep, dark, brown eyes. All while this is happening, Mr. Edgelle walks back in the room.
"Mr. William Thatcher!! That is quite enough!!! I won't have this behavior in my auditorium. Detention for you!!"
He pauses for a moment, and says, slowly.
"But very good for that character. Unacceptable, but still."
I stand there for a moment, unsure what to do. Will stalks off, a bit stormily. I turn and run up the aisle, grab my backpack, and walk out the door. I head over to my locker, sorting through my books, until I hear a voice behind me.
"Hey girl! Heard about what happened after auditions."
Phew. It's just Alyssa. I heave a sigh of relief, and turn towards her.
"What do you mean?"
She rolls her eyes, chuckles and says,
"Well it's not everyday your best friend almost kisses Will Thatcher!! That's a pretty big deal for someone who I thought was gonna be a 30 year-old virgin."
"Pfft. 30? Nahh. More like 50. That's more accurate."
She bumps me with a little laugh.
"Come on, we better get to class."
