Louis was a little nervous. Today they would get to know what their task in drama for the exam next week will be. It is always risky to have to rely on other people to pass an exam. Hopefully he got partners who were serious.

"You will prepare a scene in groups of three people. A scene from a play about a secret crush and a disguise game. There are two siblings and a friend. One of the siblings has a crush on the friend, but doesn't dare to talk to him. That's why she disguises herself. In the original, a girl disguises herself as a boy, but you decide that individually according to the group constellation" the teacher explained the task to them.

It didn't sound so difficult. Now the only question left was the partners.

"The challenge of the task will be that the girls will play boys and vice versa" added the teacher.

"But why? What's so great about swapping the sexes? That's weird, someonelike me can't be a girl, you see that yourself?" Harry questioned the task.

"That's a big part of the theatre, Mr. Styles. So if you have a problem with that, you should have rethought your choice of course" the teacher answers.

"Nowhere was there anything to ruin my virility" Harry said offended.

"What's the matter? It's only for one scene" Louis said blankly.

"You're gay, you're half a girl anyway, at least. You don't understand" Harry grumbled. Louis tried not to be offended by Harry's completely wrong assumptions about gay people.

"Well Harry, then it's probably time to get your feminine side out" Eleanor said and made Louis smile.

"It obviously won't be a problem for you to get your male side out" Harry hissed angrily.

"You are welcome to continue this discussion during rehearsals, since you are a group" the teacher interrupted them.

"What?" Harry and Eleanor asked horrified at the same time.

"You should grow with these tasks. That's why you three are a group, so you can learn to separate private from work" he explained.

Now Louis too was listening. Did he said you three?

"Wait, who do you mean?" Harry asked, confused.

"Well, you two and Louis" their teacher enlightened them.

Louis dropped his jaw. That could not be true. Ironically, Harry. What did all teachers always have with them? Why were they constantly paired up?

He tried to stay calm, ignoring the shocked faces of Harry and Eleanor, and turned to his teacher.
"Which scene should we prepare for?" he asked, trying to look as indifferent as possible.

"The, I like to call it, revelation scene. In the scene, the friend falls in love with the girl while she indirectly confesses her feelings and he realizes that he knows her, but then her sister disturbs them" the teacher told him while he handed them the scripts.

"Miss Calder, you'll play the sister, in this case the brother, but that also means you have the least text, so you are also in charge of the director. So make sure the two work together properly" the teacher clarified, Eleanor just nodded.
