Cole sighed as I pushed on for him to tell me his crushes name.
"Okay but you can't tell anyone." He warned. I nodded.
  "Okay so uh there are a few uh their names are uh...Billy Hargrove and James Centineo." He said slowly. My jaw dropped.
     "Wait your gay?" I asked astonished. He laughed and looked at the ground.
"Well not exactly. I'm uh bisexual, I like boys and girls." He said. I nodded.
"Well I'm full warning you, James is a huge dick." I said shaking my head. He nodded.
"What about Hargrove?" Cole asked tucking his knee into his chest. I slightly smiled and sighed. 
"He's mine, so back off." I said playfully threatening to hit him with my script. He put his hands up in surrender.
"Hey I mean if your not official..." Cole joked I rolled my eyes and shoved him.

I heard the applause as the characters walked off stage. It was now the balcony scene. I rolled my eyes and prepared to recite my lines. James entered the stage first and took a second before he recited his lines. Then it was my time to enter. I entered and stood in my spot and James stumbled over his lines.
  "Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore arth thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or, if thou wilt not, be sworn my love, And I'll  no longer be a Capulet." I announced. I waited for James to say his next line. He was silent. I looked at him without moving my face. I moved on without his line.
   "...what's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.." I continued until it was again James's line. He again was silent. I cleared my throat.
  "Oh.. uh..I take you at your.. speech..call me, love and... I'll...I'll.. never be Romeo?" He blurted. I sighed.
  I continued on with my lines and James tripped over his. I exited and then heard James make up some bullshit and exit. The crowd applauded. I walked up to James and pushed his shoulder.
     "James what the fuck? Read your fucking lines before we go on stage together again." I whisper shouted then walked off as James was about to enter the next scene.
   I went to the spot where I could hear the play and what was happening but I wasn't in the way. I sat annoyed by James and waited for my next cue. I saw Billy walking towards me. I smiled at him.
    "Hello Juliet, you were amazing." He smiled as I stood up.
  "Thank you I wish I could say the same about Romeo." I sighed. Billy rubbed my arms.
     "Well you were great. What kind of person can't remember 'lady by yonder blessed moon I swear that tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops-' "  Billy recited with ease. I gaped.
   "Well ya know the next scene we have is the wedding then ya know the sex scene." I said nonchalantly. Billy eyes flickered with rage.
      "You have.. a sex scene together?" He said running his tongue along his teeth. I nodded slowly. He chuckled.
   "Well I mean we have sex, we just get undressed and lay on each other." I said. He slowly nodded and laughed again. I heard the scene end and knew I had to be in the next scene. "I've got to go." I said quickly kissing him and dashing down the hall.
