Later that day

Me, Patrick, Zack, and Gray sit together in Drama. We get the option to audition separately or in pairs.

"Well none of these guys are good enough for Romeo so I guess I'll audition for Juliet alone," Sammy decides,

"I'm sure later on my Jake will be Rom-,"

"Juliet wasn't pregnant, how you gonna fit in the dress fatty?" Zack yells beside us and Sammy stomps her foot as she covers her 8 month pregnant stomach.

"While he was being rude he is right, you maybe on maternity leave by show night. I'll let you be an understudy to the nurse," Mrs. Caruthers decides.

"This isn't fair! I want to be Juliet!" Sammy screams and stomps her foot. She gets off the stage and sits down while Tori gets up and does a Juliet scene alone.

"I knew you would make a perfect Juliet," Mrs.C smiles,

"Does anyone else want to try out for Juliet before we move on?"

I guess I'll try Nurse instead.

"We'll do a couples audition," Grayson raises
his hand.

"What?" I look at him shocked.

"What?" Patrick's jaw drops.

"What?" Zacks does too.

"What! No way!" Sammy yells offended.

"Yeah, we wanna be Romeo and Juliet," Grayson stands and pulls me onto the stage. I glare up at him and cross my arms.

"I wasn't expecting this Gray," I whisper nervous.

"Well now you do," he pats my shoulder. Ms.Caruthers tells us to do the balcony scene.

"You start it off Olivia," she tells me. I sigh and close my eyes remembering the script.

"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love. And I'll no longer be a Capulet,"

Grayson turns to the class,

"Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?" I continue still annoyed at him,

"Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part. Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee. Take all myself," Grayson turns back to me and holds my cheek as he recites back Romeos lines.

We continue throughout the scene until Mrs.C tells us to stop.

"You two have the part, I've never seen better chemistry between two people," she claps.

"I'm literally pregnant!" Sammy tries to defend herself.

"Jakes a tool!" Patrick yells.

"Either way, you're our Romeo and Juliet," Mrs.C rolls her eyes and I follow Grayson off stage.

He better hope I go back to my life tonight, there is no way I can do that play in front of thousands of people.
