"I just got to do this!" May hurried down the school's hallways to the fine arts department. She wanted to be cast her school's production of Romeo and Juliet. May wasn't your typical average teenager. She liked to play sports and was obsessed with Japanese manga. In fact, she didn't have too many friends. She hoped that being in the play could help her social life.

She had reached the department. All she had to do was find where the sign up sheet was for auditions. She furiously looked around, like a cat hunting its prey.

"Where is that darn sign up sheet?" May asked herself. "I hope the spots aren't all filled up." Suddenly, one of her best friends, Misty, had just approached her.

"Hi May! What's up?" Misty asked her.

"I'm trying to find the sign up sheet for auditions for the school's production of Romeo and Juliet. I really want to be in it." May told her best friend.

"I was hoping to be in it too. But I don't want one of the main parts. I like to be out of the spotlight, you know?" Misty said to May. "Come on. Lets go find the sheet."

So May and Misty hunted for the signup sheet together. May finally found it after what seemed to be a never-ending search.

"I found it!" May cried happily.

"Sweet! Let's sign up!" Misty shrieked. They approached the list.

Wonder which role I should audition for? Maywondered.

"You should totally go for Juliet." Misty answered as if she had read her mind. "Your perfect for it!"

"You really think so?" May gave Misty a puzzled look.

"Yes. You would do great. I'll sign you up to audition for Juliet."

"Thanks so much Misty. I can always count on you." May smiled.

"It's no problem. I'm going to audition for the part of Romeo's mother." Misty signed them both up for the respective parts.

"There. We are all set!" Misty announced to May.

May gave Misty a high-five. "Awesome! Can't wait until the auditions!"

Meanwhile, a boy was heading for the fine arts department. He was kind of short for his age, had jet black hair that he never seemed to comb, wore a blue and yellow vest, and was wearing sweat pants.

I really hope to get into this production of this significant play. he thought. The boy, whose name was Ash, headed for the sign up sheet. I want to play the part of Romeo. Or maybe Mercutio. I really don't care. He approached the list. Time to show the public what I'm made of! He signed up.

May had just started to leave the department when she bumped into a boy. He looked around her age. What's with his hair? Looks like a rodents nest. she thought.

"Sorry!" both May and the boy said together. They then laughed at the irony of them both apologizing at the same time.

"Were you on your way to sign up to audition?" May asked the boy.

"Yeah. Were you just leaving?" he asked.

"Yeah. Ironic huh? We both want to be in the play. By the way, I'm May." She held out her hand.

"Hello, May. I'm Ash." he shook her hand then kissed it. May blushed.

"So, I'll see you later!" they both answered together. Ash laughed.

"It's almost if we can read each others minds."

"Yeah."

They both headed towards the opposite directions. Misty approached May.

"I saw everything!" she sang.

May turned red. "You….You did?"

Misty nodded. "Yes. Was that guy signing up to audition?"

May nodded back. "Yeah. Kind of weird, right?"

"What do you mean, weird?"

"I mean, when I introduced myself, I held out my hand. When he took it, he kissed it." May's cheeks blushed pink.

Misty teased her friend. "Maybe it was his way of introducing himself. You like him don't you?"

"Shut up! I barely even know him!" May yelled.

Misty sighed. "If you say so." The bell rang. "Must be the bell for next period. I'll see you later." She left towards the gym. May sighed happily. He was nice. Maybe we'll run into each other. She went to her science class.
