ODDS OF LOVE SEASON TWELVE

Episode 128

" What the hell's everyone looking at? ," Sol asked as he and Luci saw a small group of students in the main hallway of Barrington Academy staring at the large bulletin board that had flyers from all school events on it.

Luci glanced over at it. " Ohh. It's a flyer for Romeo and Juliet. You know I told you about it, Sol. Reese Malden is starting on Monday as drama teacher here for middle and high school. He's taking over the Barrington Players because Mr. Anderson abandoned us the way he did. There's a sign up for auditions on next Tuesday. Come on. Let's sign up. " She tugged him over closer to it even as Sol said," Aww , no way ! I don't do no acting with makeup and stuff, gal. Singing is one thing but nope. No acting for me. "

Luci rolled her eyes at him. " I'm going to be Juliet and you'll be the perfect Romeo. I think there's going to be music though. I heard Reese is making it over. Making it more modern and approachable to younger people like us. "

" You might be Juliet , pretty girl, but there is no way he is getting Romeo opposite you. "

They turned around and saw Franco Angeletti standing behind them smirking arrogantly while backed up by his lookalike brothers Salvatore and Marco.

Sol almost growled at Franco," And, why not, Angeletti ? "

Franco replied cockily," Because I am going to audition and I will get it. Maybe you can be assigned to clean the auditorium. You know? Your future job one day. "

Luci's eyes flashed with anger. " Sol is going to be a college trained scientist. And he is going to be Romeo , you greasy looking creep."

Sol didn't say a word to Franco. He merely went over to the bulletin board and signed up for auditions on Tuesday. As did Luci. As did Franco.

And , as did Willow Malden who flipped her long thick hair over her shoulder and smiled prettily at Sol while Luci glared at her.

Theodore and Alan saw it all as they were heading up the stairwell together. Theodore was actually back in school because Richard had asked Gerald to commute his suspension to in school suspension. Alan shook his head and said quietly," I don't think any of that is going to end well. "

Theodore looked at his boyfriend. " Probably not. What really happened to your eye, Allie ?"

Alan almost stumbled on a step in response to the posed question. He averted his eyes from Theodore. " I told you I....."

" Yeah. I know what you told me and everyone else who asks. I want the truth. Did someone hit you ? Was it Kyle? "

Alan bit his lip and flushed red in the face. " I'm fine. Nobody.... Nobody hit me. Okay? Not Kyle or anyone. I'm fine. Can we not discuss this right now? We have to get to class. "
