Westport High

She blushed deeply “Th-they don’t kiss in the show....” she softly pulled her arm away once more “A-and shouldn’t we wait for the director...?”

Gosh darn you Sophie..... Her cheeks were flushed a bright red as she clutched her script and music to her chest in an attempt to keep him from touching her again.

He shrugged and smiled, a smug grin.

"Perhaps they don't, dosent stop us from kissing " he smirked.

"But suit yourself, guess you'll never get to feel what it's like to kiss a real man. " he laughed and walked away

"Later!" With that he went to find Benju and ask him about tech.

She sighed shakily and went to speak once more, but fell silent and just stared at the ground. She didn’t want to be alone, and couldn’t go talk to Jen... so she just sat at the piano on the stage and sighed shakily.

She looked around at all of the groups already formed and instead of social interaction she began to silently clink around on the keys of the piano.

Jen had watched the whole thing but could do nothing as she technically wasn't supposed to be a student in this class so it wasn't like she could go to the stage and talk to Sapphire like she wanted to do.

Jen felt anger rise through her not liking how Jacob had practically harassed her friend...next time she saw Jacob she give him a piece of her mind.
Jen then tried to make a signal towards Sapphire asking her to come over, Jen couldn't go on stage but Sapphire could come to her.

Sapphire glanced in her direction and saw her arms moving wildly and sighed before starting to walk back to her. She now looked confused as well as terrified as she sat next to her new friend.

“That was really... really weird....” she sighed and set her music and script in her lap.

Jen put a hand on Sapphire's shoulder and said comfortingly," don't listen to men like that and don't pay any attention to them...they don't care about you they only care about what is downstairs if you catch my meaning.
Instead pay attention to your friends and those who matter to you it's their opinions and conversations that truly matters as they are the ones that care about you."
Jen gave some some very sound and solid advice, Jen smiled slightly as she tried to calm down Sapphire and comfort her.

Sapphire blushed and giggled a bit “Thanks...” she smiled and glanced over at her, her features now soft and relaxed as she spoke. She gently leaned her head over on Her shoulder as she waits for the director to enter the class.

Jen then put an arm around Sapphire pulling her closer as she too waited for the director to start the class, Jen was really beginning to get attached to Sapphire now and she wouldn't let anybody hurt her...and if anybody tried especially that jock there would be hell to pay.

Sapphire blushed more and softly relaxed into her shoulder, her eyes closing as she waits. Usually if she ever relaxed this much there would be some sort of consequence, but at the moment she felt safe. Like nobody could talk about her or push her down.

Jen smiled as she watched Sapphire relax and close her eyes, she felt like a guardian of sorts for Sapphire and she vowed from now onwards she would be there for Sapphire whenever she needed a friend, protection or simply someone to talk to.

Eventually the director walked in and Sapphire sighed as her role was called and she walked up on the stage with her script and music in hand. The teacher lined them up, the four main leads at the front and the minor roles after and the the background characters. She stood awkwardly next to Jacob and kept her eyes on the ground.

Before he realized the class bell rang and everyone had already left, glancing around Athos gave a short sigh, "Athos, need help finding your next class?" his teacher asked. Athos stood up from his seat giving the woman a light shake of his head before wandering back into the crowded halls. What class did he have next? Gym. Athos face twisted into disdain, more jocks to deal with? Not likely. Scurrying back to his locker he remembered the smoke in his pocket and decided to skip his gym class.

Bringing the smoke from his pocket he slid it behind his ear before parting from his locker down the hallway only this time, he ran into the same jock who had shoved him into his locker before, "Hey it's Russia!" the Jock teased, proceeding to slam his shoulder into him. Athos however moved sideways bringing his foot to the side, grabbing the jocks arm, tripping him until the Jock landed face first onto the floor. Some students laughed out loudly others snickering at the scene as they passed. Athos waited until the man shook off the blow, glaring over his shoulder at the Russian. Athos simply stared down at him, "You know what we do to bullies where I come from?"

"Whatever man, you're dead" The jock stood up, trying to tackle Athos to the ground. "Wrong move" Athos mused, smirking. Setting his feet firmly onto the floor, the jock slammed into Athos. Athos quickly grabbed the lining of the Jocks jacket pulling it over the boys head. After, he slammed the Jock right on his back, getting on-top of him, throwing one punch after the other, ribs, stomach, face. Blow after blow, each one becoming harder then the other. The hallways erupted in chaos as students gathered to watch the fighting pair. Before the teachers could rip the two apart Athos threw one straight kick to the man's nose, breaking it on contact. "ATHOS TO MY OFFICE NOW! and take Mr Bradly to the nurse" The Principle bellowed loudly. Athos rolled his blue eyes following the principle with a skip in this step.

As the actors lined up on the stage, Benji watched intently from behind the lighting board, already taking notes on who was who and what role they played. He had Plans for this show and there was no sense in wasting time.

Maddie carefully stepped into the empty hallways; today was her first day at the new high school.
It was around the fifth time that she had moved, but this time her parents had promised that they'd stay, so she hoped that the school was more...normal than the others she had visited.

The brunette gently pushed her hair back and walked down the hallway, trying to find the principal's office, and she was already praying that she wouldn't meet a student on her way.
She soon had found the office, however and got handed her schedule, and before she knew it, the principal shoved her down the hall to her first class. Within minutes she was standing in a classroom full of students and she could feel herself becoming dizzy.

"This your newest classmate - Maddie Brooke. Treat her nicely and give her a nice stay," the principal announced, leaving the room with a nod directed to the teacher, the female feeling helpless as she stood in front of the class. It was like she was a deer in the headlights of a car.

Maddie had been brought to Theater. And when Jacob laid eyes on her, he grinned.

A cocky, stuck up smirk, plastered on his face, he strutted over to her.

"We will! " he called after the principal. As soon as she left, Jacob chuckled.

"So, you're new? Maybe I should give you a little tour " he winked "I can show you the ropes " a small wink, made it obvious he wanted to show her a lot more.

Sapphire felt The new person walk into the room and rolled her eyes as she walked down and pushed Jacob back “Oh shut up...” she mumbled and immediately regretted it. Her eyes widened and she fully expected Jacob to shove her or something. Like he always did even when she didn’t do anything.

Her body flinched on instinct and she squeezed her eyes shut while clutching her script and music tighter. Waiting. Tense.

When Sapphire pushed him, Jacon frowned. He moved away from Maddie slightly.

His eyes showed a flash of hurt. Although he never was the nicest to Saphire, he didn't understand the need to push him. How did she even see him? She was fucking blind.

"D-don't touch me " he shot ar the girl, but his tone carried less ice and more hurt. He looked sort of like a hurt puppy. But he didn't dare push the girl back. He had to work well with her for the show.

Since she didn’t feel the pressure of a shove she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes trained on him. “I-I’m... I... I didn’t...” she gulped and exhaled shakily before she quickly fled up the stage and back into one of the supply room. She began to cry and buried her face in her hands. Crying for seemingly no reason, but it felt needed inside of her head.

Maddie was confused about the guy approaching, it had never happened to her before, not even once.
A blush rose to her cheeks at his feisty answer, yet she decided to try to be a bit confident. "I would be in," she said, yet it came out as a whisper.

A yelp escaped her as the male was pushed, it taking her by utter surprise. "Are you okay?" She asked Jacob, however, she was ready to follow the girl, being quite sure she had a panic attack.

Jen saw everything that had happened, and once she saw Sapphire cry anger rose through her towards the Jock that caused it....or at least that's what Jen thought.

However she had to look after Sapphire first, she then went over to Sapphire and put an arm around her and asked the director." Could we step outside for the moment? I think Sapphire needs some space"
The director nodded simply and let them leave...and even if they didn't Jen would still walk our anyway not really caring what anyone else said.

Jen then whispered to Sapphire with concern clear in her voice," come on let's step outside for a few moments so you can calm down."
Jen then lead Sapphire outside casting at glare to the jock as she did so.

Once they was outside Jen looked at Sapphire and said in a caring way," are you ok? I am here for you, you can tell me anything?"
