Most of this will have to be posted in the NC-17 Section . I'll link here when a new chapter is posted, but you need a password to get in there. Hehe.
Characters are all the same, just in high school. Obviously, Kendall is not Erica's kid.
Pine Valley Academy is a made up boarding school. The students live there. And yes, Headmaster Chandler is molded after Adam.
Dedicated to Alli.
Chapter 1
Im not sure I look like the Romeo type. Jackson Montgomery said shaking his head, looking over his girlfriend, as they walked hand and hand down the Pine Valley Academy hallway, headed for the auditorium.
Erica Kane smiled back him, Of course you are, Jack. We were born to play Romeo and Juliet. She said, squeezing his hand as they headed through the door way, Besides, this will be our Senior year and everyone knows that weve been waiting for this chance for four years. No one will tryout against us.
The Auditorium was bustling with students, either there to tryout or watch the auditions. This was the biggest per-start of school event, and most students came to mingle, since it was the first social gathering of any kind since theyd returned form Summer vacation. Erica squealed at the site of her friends near the stage, letting go of Jacks hand as she made a b-line for them.
Jack shook his head and made his way to the opposite side of the stage where his friends were, willing to mingle for a few minutes before the auditions officially started. Not that he was going to take this audition seriously, no one was going to tryout opposite him.
Or at least no one would willingly.
The Headmaster had different plans for the auditions, ones that Jack and Erica, werent going to like. I should expel both of you for that disgusting display. Headmaster Chandler said angrily as he lead two pupils down the hall.
David Hayward shook his head, zipping up his pants as they exited the stairwell, If youre going to expel me from this hell hole, at least let me find another whore whos good at it, and you can catch me again.
Screw you. Krystal Carey, shot back at him. She was trying to keep her comments to herself, as she didnt want to make the Headmaster more angry with her. It wasnt like she meant to get caught with David, or any other guy, but she wanted the Headmaster to think that she was a one man girl, even if that was a lie.
No thank you. David shot at her, shaking his head.
Be quiet, both of you. He ordered, This sort of thing will not be tolerated on school property. He told them firmly, This isnt either of your first offense, there is no reason why I shouldnt send you home now.
I cant go home. Krystal whined, shaking her head, Im sorry, sir. It just happened. And I swear it wont happen again.
David nodded, Shes got that right.
Enough. He demanded of both of them, I dont know why youre so cocky about this, Mr. Hayward. You have more to lose then Ms. Carey. Youre the one whos acceptance to Stanford rides on whether or not you graduate from this Academy. If we expel you, you wont get anywhere near Stanford.
David shook his head and sighed, Look, Im sorry, alright. It just happened. But you cant expel me. I have to go to Stanford. I have too.
You should have thought about that before you dropped your pants in the stairwell, He said, looking over at Krystal, And before you decided to ask her to get down on her knees. He said, glaring a hole through Krystal.
Just dont expel me. David said, as they neared the auditorium door, Whatever you ask, Ill do it. I just, I have to stay here.
Youre to smart for this type of thing, David. He said, before looking over at Krystal, You both are. I dont know why I should, He said shaking his head, But I am going to give you each one more chance. He told them, If you screw up and I mean that both literally and figuratively then youre both out of here.
They both nodded vehemently, waiting for their punishments, Since you both seem to like extracurricular activities, Im going to enroll you in one. He told them, and they both groaned, The only one open, is this years Fall play. Romeo and Juliet. You will have a hand in the play, or you will be expelled. So, make your auditions count, and if that doesnt work, beg to be part of the stage crew. He told them, pushing them both inside the auditorium door.
All eyes fell to the doorway and Headmaster Chandler and the two students he was pushing through the door. Headmaster Chandler looked at the Director and nodded, who nodded and went back to watching the end of Jack and Ericas auditions. Where is the fire? The director said, The passion? He asked them, You kiss her like shes your sister. He said, getting up from his seat..
The auditorium erupted into snickers and everyone whispered about Jack and Erica kissing like brother and sister.
I need chemistry. He told Jack and Erica as he moved to stand in front them, shaking his head, I need, romantic, passionate, dripping with sexual tension chemistry. He rambled turning his back to them, I need tall dark and handsome, mysterious and . He stopped, gasping as he looked at David. You, I need you.
David looked around trying to figure who the director was looking at, but after a few seconds he realized that it was him. Me? He asked, shaking his head, No, see, I just want to be part of the stage crew, or something.
Hes trash. Erica said from the stage. A rebel. A trouble maker and not even a very good one at that. She hissed, Hes not fit to play Romeo.
Why dont you shove it, alright? David fired back at her, I wouldnt want to share that stage with you and your ego, anyway.
He cant audition anyway. She exclaimed, Hes not on the list.
David is a ward of the school for the foreseeable future. Headmaster Chandler said, If Mr. Diaz wants David to audition for Romeo, David will audition for Romeo. He said, pushing David towards the director.
Wonderful. He said motioning for David to come to him, David, is it? He asked as David neared him.
David nodded, grumbling under his breath as he followed Mr. Diaz up the steps to the stage. Mr. Diaz grabbed the script from Jacks hand, and motioned for him to leave the stage. Just take it from the top. He told David, putting the script in his unwitting hands.
Erica shook her head, I wont read with him. Im not going to get caught up in his punishment.
Whats the matter, jealous? David asked, glaring at her, Dont worry, next time you can be my partner in crime. He said and laughed wickedly, winking at her.
Youre a disgusting pig. She hissed, her voice filled with annoyance.
Ummm, now this, Mr. Diaz said with a pleased grin, this is chemistry. He grinned like a school boy as he motioned to David and Erica.
Erica looked up at him and shook her head, I wont read with him.
Mr. Diaz nodded, looking back at her with a knowing smile, Then you dont get the part. He told her, knowing shed read. Everyone in school knew how much this meant to Erica.
She mumbled something under her breath and looked at David, Dont think I like this.
Dont think I like you. He spit out, looking down at his script.
Showtime. Mr. Diaz said, clapping his hands together as he headed down the stairs and to his seat.
Remember, David, Headmaster Chandler started, this play or a plane ticket back to California, so you can admire Stanford from outside the halls.
David breathed an annoyed curse word under this breath, and looked at Erica, Im only doing this so I dont get expelled.
Whatever. She hissed, I was born to play Juliet and I wont let you spoil this for me. She told him before they finally started reading their lines.
Oh that was brilliant. Mr. Diaz cooed as David and Erica finished their reading. That was fantastic. I cant put my finger exactly what it is about you two, but you two were made to play opposite one another. And my god, how beautiful you look together. And that chemistry hot damn. He said, nodding with a big goofy grin, Ooo, now I need to see you kiss.
Excuse me? David said, as Erica breathed and enthusiastic, Hell no.
You two have that love/hate, drive me up the wall and nail me chemistry down. He said, and the Headmaster cleared his throat against the snickering of the students, But I need to see the passion. He said, I need to feel the heat. So, kiss.
Erica looked over at Jack who shook his head disapprovingly, and David shot Headmaster Chandler an less then thrilled look. She sure as hell wasnt going to give this up, She was born to play Juliet and PVA won at least one award for their Fall plays every year. This could be her big break. And in the end, there had to be worse things then to kiss David Hayward. Sure he was an egotistical, cocky, trouble making, ass, but he wasnt all that hard on the eyes. Okay, he was pretty damn hot, every girl in school thought so. She had to admit the tall, dark, handsome thing worked for him. Especially when it came to his eyes. Deep chocolate brown, with devastating eyelashes that could make even her swoon well if she wasnt practically engaged. From the rumors about him, it didnt sound like kissing him would be anything stomach turning.
David shook his head, this was unfucking believable. That whore Krystal came onto him. Got him so hot that he just let her do what she wanted, and now he was paying for it. A play? Seriously? And Romeo and Juliet to boot? This was more hell that lame blow job Krystal had attempted to give him in the stairwell. And why the hell couldnt he have a hot cheerleader as his leading lady? Why Erica Kane? Sure she was hot. Sure she was gorgeous, but she was the biggest most self centered bitch hed ever met. Those big brown eyes and that sweet as sin smile of hers didnt work on him. God, this was going to be the worst few months of his life. And now he had to kiss her? Not that he was going to mind that, hed just rather not have to deal with her and her drama.
Kiss, now. Mr. Diaz directed, done waiting. He had a feeling these two were going to melt the paint off the walls, he just had to get them to kiss.
I hate you. Erica breathed, as he stepped closer to her.
Ya, right back at you. He said, Just stop with all the drama and lets just do this ,alright? He said leaning in and pressing his lips to hers.
Erica closed her eyes, and counted to ten, wanting this to be over as soon as possible. She pulled lips from his as soon as she got to ten, and step back.
Mr. Diaz was already shaking his head, No, no, no. He told them standing up, Do it again.
Again? They both said in unison, shaking their heads vehemently.
That was a poor attempt. He told them, I need you to put some effort into it He said, as David and Erica bickered on stage, You dont have to like each other. And you dont have to speak outside of here, but your characters are in love, and have major heat between them. You have to make yourself feel it, at least as characters.
I dont want to kiss David. Erica whined, Hes not right for this part
David shook his head, tired of listening to her ramble on and on. This was the worst day of his life and the longer he had to stay up here with her, the worse it got. Oh for god sake He said, shaking his head as he turned towards Erica, grabbing her by the elbow and pulling her to him. She gasped, her brown eyes going wide, as he crushed his lips to hers.
The auditorium fell silent and all eyes went to the center of the stage, and the paint melting kiss that was taking place there.
David slid his left arm around her back, and let his left hand move to cup her cheek, as she pressed his body against hers.
Erica was trying to get herself to pull away. Get legs to move, or at least to get her lips to stop moving against his. Since when was she kissing him back? Since when did he have this effect on her? Since when did her left hand move to his chest. She pressed her palm against his chest as she tipped her head back a little, and parted her lips, just slightly.
David pressed her closer to him, and teased her lips with his tongue, as her fingers clenched around the fabric of his shirt.
Jack turned his head, trying to tell himself, despite his clenching fists, thats this was only part of the play, and that it would end soon, and life would go on.
The rest of the auditorium watched with wait wide eyes and baited breaths. It was a little warm in the perfectly air conditioned room.
Headmaster Chandler, not liking the looks of this pretend kiss it was far to real for his tastes, cleared his throat, and then said cut.
David was slow to peel his lips from Erica, letting them linger.
Erica gulped in a breath, and tipped her head back down. She looked up into his eyes, seeing the glazed over look that mirrored hers. She shook her head slowly, trying to shake off the shiver that was still running down her spine. She took a step back, and slowly unclenched her fingers from around his shirt and peeled them off. Their eyes still locked.
A few whispers of Holy shit fluttered through the students, as they looked at each other, and then at David and Erica.
Mr. Diaz shuddered, shaking his body a little extra for effect, Good, god. He breathed, releasing the breath he didnt know he was holding as he stared at them, That was . He shook his head, that was just a kiss and the paint stated to melt. He said smiling now, Youre going to set this place on fire during the love scene. He said, his tone giddy, like he was a kid in a candy store.
Erica took a step back, needing to move away from him, even though he wasnt touching her. So, I guess thats it for today? She said, sucking in a breath and breaking eye contact with David as she turned to look at Mr. Diaz.
Unless you want to melt the pant clear off this place before we even start rehersing the love scene, yes, thats it. He told them, grinning from ear to ear.
David sucked in a breath of his own ,trying to shake off whatever the hell he was feeling. What the hell was that? Where did that kiss come from? And the fuck did he feel like he could do it again? He had to get out of here. Well, this was a blast. He said, looking at a still stunned Erica, But I hope I dont have to do it again anytime soon. He said started to walk away, Later. He said over his shoulder as he headed out the back stage door.
Jack waited until the door closed, and the auditorium started bustling again, before he walked over to Erica. Erica? He said suddenly at her side.
She turned to look at him a few seconds later, Jack? She breathed.
Erica what was that? He asked, shaking his head as he stood in front of her.
What was what? She asked, looking up into his eyes.
That kiss, with David. He said, his tone less then amused.
That was a kiss between Romeo and Juliet, Jack. She told him, nodding. Right? That was a kiss between their characters, sure it was. Wasnt it?
I dont like this, Erica. He told her, as he reached at to take her hands, I feel like David isnt going to bring anything good to our lives.
Its just a play, Jack. She said as they headed hand and hand down the stage steps, What could David possible do to us that would be so bad? She asked, I hate him. And I always will. So just forget about him, alright? She smiled, Lets go get lunch, Im starving all of the sudden. She said as they headed over to meet their friends. The events of the last hour hoping to fade away, at least she hoped they would. The last thing she needed was to think about that kiss and that asshole. He was nothing gore then a egotistical bastard who just happened to send chills down her spine. She squeezed Jacks hand harder, closing her eyes and trying to will this feeling, whatever it was, away.
