Two words.

     Drama

     Class.

     And you would probably expect Louis to be here, but instead, Harry decided to get into 'character.'

     My second period, which used to be Keyboarding, out of the blue got suspended and cut from the school's budget. Louis, who is always thinking of me, convinced the administrators to put me in the oh-so exclusive Drama Class.

     Being honest, the class wasn't that bad. I don't want to admit it, but Louis did me a favor. Problem is I haven't been able to thank him for it.

     Ever since the little incident during my free period, Louis has stopped coming to my house to practice. The boys say he's just busy, but the few times I've seen him, he looks so...

     Distracted.

     Something's been bugging him and whenever I caught his eye, he would just jog away as if wanting to avoid me.

     I've heard rumors about him and Eleanor being on a rough patch and maybe that's it, but I don't fully buy it. Maybe not telling him why was a mistake. Maybe even getting into this mess was a mistake.

     At times, I ponder if I regret meeting them all at once.

     I don't let that thought get into my head much, but recently, that's all I've been thinking.

     And I can't make it stop.

     Anyway, back to Drama Class. This week, we were reenacting William Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream. The ironic part was that I was Hermia.

     Harry just so happened to stop by that day right when Britney, Emily and Beatriz were talking about me. To everyone, Harry's presence was enough for them to stop talking and chattering about outfits and gaze at him as he casually walked to where I was.

     Unlike Louis, he seemed uninterested in Emily, Beatriz and Britney. But how?

     Emily, for a Seventh Grader, was quite captivating. Even though her style is mostly casual, I've seen people do double takes when they happen to glance in her direction.

     As for Beatriz, who's a Sixth Grader, has an amazing tone of skin and her curly, light brown hair adorns her face while her hazel eyes fascinate people so much that it is sometimes hard for them to stop staring.

     Last, but definitely not least, there's Britney, who's envied by almost every single girl in the entire school. Her jet black hair with caramel highlights contrasts her dark blue eyes so much that it makes it even more appealing. Add that to her olive skin and you basically have a model. However, what seems to have boys fall at her feet has to be her Texan accent, an accent not many people in this school have. No wonder many girls are jealous of her.

"So how's the tour going?" Britney asked, trying to be sly and that's when I noticed that she was nervous.

     First time I've ever seen her like this. She's usually so confident.
