lunch time at Bohemia High

(this is the 1st 3rd of lunch, more will be coming either later today or tomorrow)

While the class filed excitedly from the classroom towards the cafeteria sundry side conversations were shared by various pairings of students. If the topic of the conversation was still on the assignment that had just been dropped in their laps, the sound accompanying it seems mostly to be grumbling. However, there appears to be a pair that's not as disappointed.

Wondering aloud, Jenny Jordan asked her long-time best friend Audrey, "Do you think we can choose any scene we want, and any scene partner?". Audrey's eyes followed the direction Jenny was so longingly staring and found, as she suspected, Ethan Wallace walking and scheming away with his twin, Dan. Despite Jenny's ability to become anyone and anything on a stage, when it came to talking to Ethan Wallace, her words got as tangled as pantyhose in a dryer.

In a rather mockingly wistful, falsetto retort, Audrey replied, "Who knows, maybe this will be your big break to tell Ethan how you really feel!"

To busy lost in her thoughts about performing Sylvia to Ethan's Valentine, or maybe Hero and Claudio...Jenny didn't bother responding to Audrey's veiled jab.

As we've been following these ladies, who are following the Wallace twins, to lunch, it might be a good idea to look over our shoulders and see that not far behind is Ronald "Ronnie" Bertram, the boy with eyes only for Jenny, has been hoping that he might get to do a scene with her.

Just as we have noticed Ronnie, pinning away for Jenny, so has Audrey. "Maybe this will be Ronnie's big chance with you!" She pointed out while discreetly signaling that Ronnie wasn't far behind.

"Ew! Don't even joke about that" whispered Jenny so that Ronnie couldn't hear, as she really doesn't like being rude to him, but honestly when will the boy catch a hint! To stop Audrey from her ridiculous suggesting, Jenny punctuated the last remark with a smack to Audrey's arm.

"Ow! ok, ok, I'll stop" said Audrey, while a visible "for now" flitted across her face. Audrey would probably have continued on in this strain except for the fact that they'd reached the cafeteria. With more than half of the school about, she resigned herself to mocking her friend later.

....lunch will be continued later...
