Lizzie drove Josie to school, she couldn't get rid of the smug look on her face.


"Will you stop smirking at me like that, Lizzie?" Josie asked.


"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lizzie chuckled, "I cannot believe you never told me you like Hope! I'm your sister, your twin!"  she exaggerated.


"I'm sorry, okay?" Josie told her, "Sometimes I just forget to mention super important details regarding my love life to you."


Lizzie scoffed, "Oh please, Jo. Even if you didn't tell me, you are a dead give away about everything."


"No I'm not!" Josie retorted. 


Lizzie pulled up by the school. "Bye bye." she smirked. "Go get your girl."


"Shut up," Josie laughed, "If you keep teasing me, I'm not coming home"


"That's okay, you can just catch a ride with the love of your life." Lizzie teased.


"Oh my God!" Josie laughed, "I hate you." she got out of the car and shut the door.


"You love me!" She heard Lizzie yell from the window. Josie threw up her middle finger and headed into the school towards the auditorium.


"Ah, Miss. Saltzman! The lead of the play!" Said the director. "I was beginning to worry!"


"I'd never miss the first day of rehearsal, Mr. Pleckmen." Josie replied.


"Excellent. Well, Josie, please go back stage and join Miss. Mikaelson. She'll help you do a run through of your lines." Mr. Pleckmen told her.


Josie nodded and headed back stage. There stood Hope Andrea Mikaelson. A beautiful auburn haired girl with the the most mesmerizing eyes. Josie felt like she'd get lost in them.


"Hey, Jo." Hope smiled. "How are you?"


"I-I'm good." Josie replied, "I'm sorry you got stuck with backstage duty all because of Jed and Raf"


Hope smiled, "It's okay. There are other worse after school punishment jobs." She said, "Plus, I get to run lines with a person I know and care for."


Josie's cheeks turned a dark shade of red, she bit the inner part of her cheeks, Hope cared for her? "That's-that's cool."


"Woah." Hope said, noticing the change in Josie's face, "Jo, are you okay?" she placed a hand on Josie's cheek, "your face is red."


Josie cleared her throat, "I'm fine, thanks."


"Okay," Hope smiled. She placed a hand on Josie's forehead, "Well, at least you're not burning up."


"Yeah, um, should we start?" Josie asked.


Hope nodded, "Whenever you're ready."
