Chapter Four: Romeo and Juliet

(Tuesday)

"ROOMEEO AND JUILIETTT!!" Present Mic announced in a voice all too loud for the morning, well, all too loud in general. "A timeless classic!" His voice evened out to an acceptable tone. "A brilliant romance tragedy written by none other than our beloved William Shakespeare."

"And you, lovely young heroes are going to be performing it in just ONE MONTH!" The class bugged out and Momo's eyes almost popped out of her head. Half the class protested loudly while the other half sat in silent contempt for Present Mic. There were, of course, the rare few such as Mina clapped her hands and jumped up and down excitedly, but for the most part, it was all groans.

Ochako's hand shot up. "So this is why you had us read Romeo and Juliet over break?"

"Yes indeedy!" Present Mic replied with an ear to ear grin. Momo frowned in response. She had never been one for the arts really at all, especially not the performance arts. Really, the most she has gotten into them was with her piano, but that was something added to her curriculum at an early age.

"And the best part is, you will get to choose your roles!!!" At this the class slightly perked up.

"Wait, but what about costumes and scenery and behind the scenes stuff?!" Mina shot out of her seat, causing her chair to pitch backwards.

"Don't you worry! Class B already knew about it and volunteered to be on prop duty!" He said it with a smile, but the entire class flipped out. Especially Bakugou. "They did come up with the idea..."

"SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT THOSE CLASS B RAT BASTARDS DON'T HAVE TO FUCKING PERFORM AND THEY KNEW ABOUT IT IN ADVANCE?!" Bakugou yelled out angrily. "AND WHAT ABOUT THAT CREEPY BASTARD!!"

"Yeah, what about Monoma? I can't imagine a scenario where he wouldn't take the chance to show up Class A..." she tapped her chin thoughtfully.

"While Mr. Neito did voice his strong opinion that Class B should take the spot light, the overwhelming vote said otherwise." Mic shrugged, causing the whole class to groan in unison. They find out one winter break late and now they have to perform? "AAANYWHO! I would get to choosing because I expect a comprehensive cast list by the end of class. Toodaloo Kiddos!" He waltzed out of the room whistling and a chorus of exasperated moaning arose from the class as he left.

As per usual, Iida wasted no time in getting himself to there front of the class as quickly as humanly possible, leaving Momo to trail behind him with a frown.

"As Class President, I would appreciate it if you would let me conduct this meeting!" The class nodded in agreement. There was no reason not to let him. They did vote him in after all. Well, technically they voted Deku in, but nobody had complaints about Iida taking over. Momo sighed quietly and picked up the piece of chalk, ready to jot down notes. "Why don't we start by voting on who the leads will be. Let's start with the obvious: Romeo."

It was a reasonable course of action to take, considering that there would most likely be a lot of arguing if not. Plus, by starting with the two main leads, it would leave their options open to the whole class.

"Now, I will distribute note cards to each of you," A stack of note cards seemed to appear out of nowhere in his hands. Momo didn't question. Iida always had a knack for finding school supplies. It was kind of like his second quirk. "You will write down who you would like to nominate for the role of Romeo and then hand your card to me. We will tally up the vote to decide who gets the role." He began handing out the note cards.

People nodded and took a minute to scribble down the name they had in mind. After a few moments of silence, Iida walked around to collect the note cards, neatening them up in his hands in the process.
