“So Mr. Torres looks like we’ll be double dating soon.” Eli smirked sitting down in Dave’s seat in the radio booth.

“Really? You’re finally dating Dawes huh?” Adam joked.

“No, Imogen.” Eli looked at Adam’s face waiting for an expression. Adam remained blank.

“Eli are you sure you can have a relationship off your meds?” Eli rolled his eyes.

“I’ll be fine.”

“Come on Eli I’m just suggesting that maybe—”

“You know I’d love to stay and chat but I have a play to work on.” Eli stormed out the booth shutting the door. Adam shook his head knowing this wouldn’t end well.

“I think the lights should be a little bit higher…no lean it a little more to the left…I said left not right!” Fiona heavily sighed instructing the set builders.

“Fiona!” Imogen pulled Fiona over to the side squealing. “Guess who has their first boyfriend!”

“Ok um…”

“Me silly!” Imogen laughed. “He asked me today! It was beautiful!” Imogen fell into a daze.

“Ok Ms. Loveboat snap out of it, you have to act professional for the interview today.” Fiona snapped her fingers and turned to where Clare and Jake were sitting talking, laughing, and flirting. “You and Eli can’t be all head over heels for the interview or else people will think you were chosen simply because you’re his girlfriend.”

“But I got the part before I started dating him.”

“Yeah we know that but Clare and everyone else on staff don’t know that.” Imogen shot her a sad look. “Just lay low with the PDA around school ok? At least until the play is over.”

“Well this sucks.” Imogen said kicking the ground. Clare walked over notebook and tape recorder in hand.

“Hello Fiona, Imogen.” her face had no expression. “Congrats on the part I saw the list posted on the bulletin board.” Clare held her hand out for Imogen to shake.

“Thank you Ms. Edwards.” Imogen smiled. “So who are you interviewing today?”

“I was thinking you, Eli, and Fiona.” Clare looked at Fiona to see if she missed anyone.

“Well we just have to wait for Eli and we can start.” Fiona grabbed her bag and looked at the guy hanging the lights. “Come on are you serious the light isn’t even pointing to the stage!” She walked over to direct him some more.

“So Imogen, have you read the full play yet?” Clare said hoping Imogen could give her some input on how Clara was. She’d hate for people to think she was a horrible person with bad morals.

“Not the full play, just some of it.” Imogen lied she’d actually read the play and memorized her lines.

“So how am I…I mean Clara?” Clare gulped and turned to Jake who was lazily sitting on the chairs.

“Clara? She’s nice, caring…and protective, very protective.” Imogen said thinking up traits Clare would want Clara to have. She was partly right about the caring part, she was caring in the first half of the play.

“Really? So you talked to him?” Clare said growing a grin.

“He already had it like that, just you know…not in those exact words.” Imogen was even confusing herself.

Eli walked in and put his arm around Imogen. “Hello ladies.” Eli noticed Clare and tried to keep his attention on Imogen.

Clare’s eyes widened. “You guys look pretty cozy with each other. “ Clare flipped her pen and began writing.
