Zora POV

I was in my room laying on my bed doing my homework. Every since I put an end to this love triangle I feel so much better. I began hanging out with Neil and his friends a lot more too. Don't get me wrong I love Will and Carlton but I also need friends outside of them and Neil became another best friend.

The door swung open. I looked up as I saw Neil laughing and he put a piece of paper on my lap

"I really need to start locking my door" I said as I sat up. Neil was jumping up and down with a huge smile

"I found it." Neil told me as I looked confused

"You found what?" I asked

"What I wanna do right now. What's really, really inside me. " he told me as I looked at the paper

"A Midsummer Night's Dream"? I read off the flyer

"This is it." He told me as I still looked lost. I don't know what he is talking about

"What is this?" I asked

"It's a play, dummy." He said rolling his eyes
"I know that dummy. What does it have to do with you?" I asked

"Right. They're putting it on at Henley Hall. Open tryouts. Open tryouts!" He yelled excitedly as he took my blanket off my bed and wore it like a cloak

"I'm gonna act. Yes, yes! I'm gonna be an actor! Ever since I can remember,I've wanted to try this. I even tried togo to summer stock auditions last year,  but, of course, my father wouldn't letme. For the first time in my whole life.I know what I wanna do." He said excitedly as he grabbed my homework and threw the papers everywhere

"You're cleaning that up" I told him looking at the papers

"and for the first time I'm gonna do it whether my father wants me to or not! Carpe diem! Join me as I jump for joy" he said as I began jumping up and down with him

"Thank you" he said hugging me as I looked confused

"For what" I asked

"If it wasn't for you. I wouldn't have the courage to do this" he told me as I smiled and hugged him again then we began jumping up and down again

I stopped jumping when I thought about his father and him being strict. His father doesn't know we're friends for obvious reasons

"Neil, Neil, hold on a minute. How are you gonna be in a play if your father won't let you?" I asked as he stopped jumping and we sat on my bed

"First I gotta get the part, then I canworry about that." He told me as I looked skeptical

"Yeah, but won't he kill you if he findsout you went to an audition and didn'teven tell him?" I asked

"No, no, no, no. As far as I'm concerned, he won't have to know about any of this." He told me

"Well, that's impossible." I told him. Bellaire is really small. People know People.

"Bullshit! Nothing's impossible." He told me as I sighed

"Well, why don't you just call him and ask him? And m-maybe he'll say yes." I suggested
