"Uh, hi, I'm Lance, and-"

He was interrupted by the theatre door squeaking open and slamming shut, as if it had been pushed with the force of a hurricane.

Rapid, heavy footfalls came from backstage, sounding through the auditorium.

Lance's eyes went wide and he forgot what he had been saying.

Lance was going to play Sky Masterson in his school's production of Guys and Dolls. At least, he was going to until the new kid stole the role from him.

He never counted on the new kid stealing his heart, too.
