school, so we
have to come in earlier. We take the two middle seats in the front row, and he
pulls out a deck of cards. 
    "No I haven't. Wanna play?" He
asks, and I nod. He shuffles the deck, and I wonder why he carries a random
pack of cards around with him.  As the room fills more we sit still
chatting about classes and what to do over spring break, which is coming here
not next week but the week after that. What will I do for a tutor session? I won't
be here, and I'm assuming he won't either? Why am I thinking about that now?!
Right now I don't even want to do next week's lesson, especially if all he is
gonna do is flirt with me and try and get me in his bed. "Paige it's your
turn."
    "Oh.. sorry!" I say, looking back
down at my hand of cards.  "Do you have any fives?" I ask, yes
we're playing Go Fish.
    "Nope." He smiles, he is very
good at this game and I am not. I think he set the deck or whatever it's
called.  Mrs. Oliver waltz in the hands every one the sheet music to a
chorus song in the play. She hasn't chosen any big parts yet, other than chorus
people and Pegasus. The horse that doesn't ever talk but is actually a big part
of the whole story. She sits at her piano and cracks her fingers, telling
everyone to get ready. She starts playing a warm up for us to warm up our
vocals, and the door to the auditorium swings open.
    "Ahhh Mr. Lincoln, I was wondering if
you were going to show up. Welcome to drama, it's so nice to have another
member." Mrs. Oliver, greets Jake as he stand in the doorway looking
slightly miserable. What is he doing here? He can't be in drama now, no way.
Why would he be? What up shop or even art class?!
    "Ahh yeah I kinda have to be here now
I'm in the club..." he says, walking down the aisle between the rows of
chairs. Girls in the room erupt into giggles and start whispering. I lay my
arms on the piano, just wanting to get class over with now.  Robbie leans
next to me, and kludges me  looking towards Georgia she is leading Jake
towards the piano now, and sharing sheet music with him.
    "So much for a good musical." I
whisper to him, and he shakes his head.
    "Mrs. Oliver will put him in his
place." He replies looking up at him again. I know Robbie can't stand Jake
either, and I know why. Robbie last year had a small thing with a girl they
talked and went on a couple dates, and the next thing he knew Jake took her for
one of his one night things. I nod Mrs. Oliver wont deal with his crap. She can
barely stand for Marks crap, and she only keeps him around because he can act
and sing. He is one of those people who is really good at being funny and being
serious. Like he can have his face be dead pan while the audience is laughing
there assess off from a joke that was just said. He is good.
    "Oh, Hey Paige!" Jake says and I
look over towards him. He is smiling at me, and waving. Innocently but I can
see what he is trying to do. God what is he doing? This isn't how thing are
supposed to be! He is suppo set to play the sports be the jock and jerk. Not
the drama guy too! There is a status quo that needs followed, this isn't High
School Musical! Besides wont this ruin his reputation?  I don't even reply
to him I just flick my wrist in a small wave.  I look down at the sheet
music in my hand, and ignore Robbie who is now looking at me as well.
    "Enough talking!" Mrs. Oliver
quiets everyone. "Alright let's start the scales please." Then she
plays the piano, and we all sing. I keep my eyes down and on the piano, feeling
Robbie's look at the side of my face, and Jake's on my forehead. As class drags
on and we start working on the actual songs from the musical. I relax and get
used to Jake staring. But for some reason Robbie is being weird, and I'm not
happy about it. What does he think is going on? When we finish practicing the
song, Mrs. Oliver tells us all to take five before we go again. I pull Robbie
aside, and confront him about whatever is going on.
    "What's your problem?" I ask,
turning so we
