I woke up in the morning, disappointed that there was school I had to attend.

I got my phone and scrolled through social networks while I was still wrapped like burrito in my sheets. Sure it was warm and comfortable but it wasn't an easy task getting out of the warmth.

I realized that I had to get out of bed soon, or I'll be late so I pushed my sheets off me and walked to the bathroom slouching.

I washed my face, brushed my teeth then put my hair in a ponytail, along with some mascara afterwards.

I walked over to my closet frustrated that I had to appear in front of a bunch of judgemental strangers at school. Why couldn't the world make us go to school in out pajamas.

I was anything but a morning person.

I put on a T-shirt with some jeans and grabbed my backpack going out the door meeting with Valerie over at her house

Then we just drove over to school.

Do you know that feeling when your just really awkward with somebody and you can just feel it?

Well that's me right now.

I was in acting class right now and Jace came in and gave me a smile bright as the sun. I said hi once he sat down right next to me and he just began to have this nerve stricken face.

And he didn't say hi back but mumbled something then just looked down at his desk deep in thought.

At that time I wondered if I smelled bad or if I had a booger peeking out of my nose. Or had something in my teeth or most likely my hair being a gigantic mess.

The possibilities were endless.

I decided to just go along with the silence he created and took out my phone.

Maybe he was just having an off day. He's never been like this. Jace is more like of an outgoing type. But really that isn't none of my business to be bugging my nose down at him, being my nosy way.
Then after a minute I felt eyes on me. I looked up naturally to where I was sensing the eyes, and met with Jace's eyes.

Then Jace suddenly looked away making the situation more awkward.
I tried to look back down at my phone but felt Jace's eyes once again burning holes at me.

I sighed and looked up at him frustrated with the awkwardness "okay what's up?"

His eyes widened. "Um.. not much."

I looked at him unconvinced. "You sure because I think something's up."

"I'm fine." he said avoiding all eye contact possible.

I was about to speak up again but got interrupted by Ms. Matildi telling the class to get settled and quiet down.

I looked over at her direction knowing that with Ms. Matildi speaking up she ruined the chance of Jace telling me what's up with him.

"Okay so today I will give you all a sheet saying everything about the play and after five minutes of you studying it we will start practicing.
We will be practicing for a one whole week. Then we will practice it once more in the auditorium, Then the next day will be the opening showcase." She said starting to pass out papers that said a summary of the play. "And please take out your scripts I gave you a while ago saying you and your partners script as well. Okay so I will give you five minutes to study this. And the time starts now."

I internally sighed. I hated memorizing the script I really prefer to act it out instead, but whatever.

The summary of the 'modern' Cinderella play Ms. Matildi made was about a girl named Ella, who was dropped off at a rich family's house by her parents who couldn't afford to take care of her. So then the step father that loved her dearly died and was left with the stepmother that never liked her.
