Opening Act - Short Story

entry in the #LenovoBackToSchool contest (made the top 25!)

Herbert Matthew Davider III is just your regular sort of guy-he goes to school every day, eats lunch in the band room, and works shifts at a small mom-and-pop ice cream parlor on the weekends. On his first day of school, he is accidentally placed into Advanced Theater-a special type of nightmare for introverts. There's every reason for him to switch out, but there's one really great reason to stay-Thea Nichols. Maybe theater wouldn't be that bad...
