Sram kept a smile on her face. "Well, Miss Adams, as you can see I don't have claws. I'm not trying to make you do anything you want. You may stay seated if you feel inadequate as an actor." She smiled and turned to the boy with the pink hair. "Mr... Masters... Oh... you must be Acacia's son. In Shakespeare's days boys use to play girls, how would you like to play the nurse."[/b]

Zephyr's head turned to look at the teacher as he was addressed. He frowned at the mention of his mother, but quickly perked up as he was given a role. It was a female role, but still a part and a rather interesting one too. "I would love to," Zephyr said, standing up and flipping through the script to the right scene. [/font]

Sram turned to the blackboard and pointed to it. Words appeared in white chalk:
Not Participating:
Porcelain Adams
Act 1 Scene 3
Juliet: Adrienne Alste Lady Capulet: Evlyn Fauve Nurse: Zephyr Masters
We'll do this scene twice:
Juliet: Maegen Ryder Nurse: Carrie Disclameigh Lady Capulet: Delilah Fivecoate
Act 1 Scene 4
Romeo=Liam Wells Mercutio=Damien Benedict Benevolio= Skylar-Jericho Robert Loup-Garou
Act 2 Scene 2
Juliet=Temporania Flagent Romeo=Theo Runner
Act 3 Scene 1
Mercutio=Sakurai Murata Benevolio=Sebastian Adams Tybalt=Brann Gnister Romeo=Myles Marino
Act 5 Scene 3 from line 165 to line 175 (Skipping the role of the Guard, unless Miss Adams changes her mind and would like to read that one line.)
Juliet=Tragedy Falls[/color][/font]
"Now, Acting." Sram began, "When students realize what acting really is and what it's all about, I can see the light come on in their eyes at the simplicity of it. Acting is Storytelling. Storytelling is the oldest form of communication/education/healing in the history of mankind, dating back to the "storyteller" or the "shaman" around the campfires of prehistoric or primitive villages, far predating the written word"
Sram smiled at the students and continued. "The actor must first know the story; in fact, it is the Actor's first responsibility." She raised her finger and turned serious. "Not plot. There is a great difference between story and plot. The actor must know each event down to the tiniest detail in proper sequence."
Sram seemed rather passionate about this. "The actor, after learning and knowing the story, starts to create his character beginning with the given circumstances as supplied by the writer, inserting his own given circumstances. Visible physical characteristics he cannot change; height, weight, race, etc." again Sram brought her finger up and smiled at Zephyr. "Notice I did not say gender. We have men playing women and women playing men all the time, and makeup does wonders. Then the actor must create a comprehensive back story for the character. Second only to knowing the story, the back story is the most important responsibility of the actor."
She pause and looked at the student's faces. "Let me repeat. The back story is the second most important responsibility of the actor. With it, the actor creates a character that is anyone but themself, it is always a fantasy character from a creative imagination that is based on someone else."
"You can shape your character to anything your imagination can deliver. John Barrymore, once said A man isn't an actor until he commands a technique which enables him to get an impression across into the heart of an audience without reference or relation to his own individuality. The better the actor, the more completely is he able to eliminate the personal equation. On the other hand, the poorer the actor," She eyed Porcelain who was still in the classroom, "The more they must rely on their own personality in their attempt to tell the story."
"Mr. Marino has asked about act 1 scene 5 the passion in this scene can only be comprehended by playing the parts, by letting yourself become these characters, feel what they felt." Sram picked up a script and pointed to Myles, then said "Mr. Marino, please come up on stage and assist me. You will play Romeo and I will be your Juliet." She turned to the class "I with be his Juliet." She paused and smiled at Myles "We'll start at line 104 and end at line 122."[/b]

Sakurai sat down in the back of the room. His neck seemed almost completely healed, save a huge red mark where Brann's hand was. He read the board and saw his name written on it.
Great... I have to act... In a scene with both of them...
He sighed softly and propped his head on his hand.
Just what I need.

Porcelain's jaw dropped, She raised her hand and frantically started panicking, "I'm sorry but I can't allow that." She stood and walked up to Myles, "If anyone is being his Juliet, It will be me and only me." She was overly jealous and this was not the best thing for a jealous girl to hear.

"Miss Adams, if you cannot contain your jealousy in my class, I suggest you leave." Sram was starting to get angry. "Before I toss you out." [/color]

Porcelain crossed her arms across her chest and glared, She wouldn't bother snapping back at the teacher, She would get back at her, The one thing you do not do to a girl is take her boy, She put on a fake smile and glanced at Myles, She frowned and bit her bottom lip, Her heart sank further at the thought of kissing that vile woman, Couldn't she find someone her own age?!

Myles looked at Porcelain and then at Professor Acinorev. He was a little uncomfortable in this situation but he stood up nodding a little to Porcelain and then walking on to the stage. He took his script with him and looked over the lines.
"Um professor, what page is this on because I can't find the spot you want me to read from." He said flipping through the pages nervously. He looked at Porcelain.
He cleared his throat and nervously looked around the room.
Skylar ducked down in his seat he noticed he had a part he hoped it did not have a lot of words. He wasn't sure since he had already misplaced his script, or made it disappear which was odd. He looked at Myles as he walked on stage wishing he was up there playing Romeo.

Zephyr whispered to Porcelain, "Just calm down slightly. Myles should be smart enough to not doing anything with her and if he does, you can always kill the two of them. She's just a pathetic old teacher desperate for sex and happens to want to have sex with your boyfriend...thing."[/font]

Sakurai flipped through the pages of the script. He shut the book and lay his head on his desk, something bulging in his pocket. He reached in and pulled out a small bottle of black nail polish. It was brand new and rather expensive, but Sakurai didn't wear nail polish.
I should really give this to Zephyr... But he's always with that girl...

Zephyr looked around the room, deciding that he no longer cared about Myles interest in the Professor. His eyes fell upon Sakurai with a glare. Then he saw Sakurai take a bottle of nail polish out of his pocket. His gaze turned from a glare to a questioning look. He remembered Sakurai insulting his use of nailpolish over the summer. He wondered why the boy had it now.[/font]

Sakurai set the bottle down on his leg as he turned a page in the script. He wasn't really paying attention to what he was reading though. He rubbed his neck a bit where the burn had been, wincing only a little now.
He looked up and saw Zephyr looking over at him. He wasn't sure what to do... He had an apology gift but...

Zephyr continued staring and then noticed Sakurai looked back at him. "Why do you have nail polish?" he asked him. [/font]

Sakurai looked up and saw Zephyr was talking to him. He blushed a bit, having reverted back to his old self after the encounter with Brann...
"Oh... I... well... i-its for you," he said, looking down at it.
"T-to say I'm... sorry."

The glare on Zephyr's face instantly evaporated. He jumped up from his seat and grabbed the nail polish, hugging Sakurai extremely tight around the neck (RJ-like). "Aw, that's sweet!" he said, letting go of Sakurai.[/font]

Skylar looked at Sakurai and Zephyr. He had not really talked to much of anyone around here. He leaned his head down on his hands looked at the script reading over the parts he was sure he was going to have to try and act out. He was insanely bad at acting and even worse at talking in public. He always felt like everyone was staring at him.
He looked over at the professor his eyes sparkling a little.

Sakurai's eyes bulged as Zephyr squeezed him. Guess the nail polish idea worked. Who knew?
"It... was nothing. I hope I... well I hope I got a good brand... my mom said its good... its the brand she uses," he said, looking at his script, "and she only buys the high end stuff... not that she's snobby... she just likes to make sure she's getting her money's worth... but I'm rambling..."
He saw another boy looking at them, but turned back to his script.

Zephyr examined the nail polish for a moment, slightly surprised by the brand. Sakurai was right, it was a good brand. A very expensive brand. He was pleased with it.
He saw Sakurai then stare off at something and turn back to his script. "What are you looking at?" he asked, turning to see another boy looking away. He had no idea who it was. He assumed that it was another one of the 400 freshmen. Lovely. "Ew, who is that kid?" he asked.[/font]

"I dunno for sure... I've seen him around I guess. Not sure of his name or anything," Sakurai said, shrugging.
"So... its good stuff? The nail polish?" he asked Zephyr, looking at the little bottle again.
Hopefully he wouldn't lose this one. He smiled in his head.

Zephyr nodded, "Yeah. It's great. It's one of my favorite brands," Zephyr said. Then he looked back to the new student and remembered his plan to give the new students a tour of the school. "Hm...Porcelain and I were going to give the new students a tour around the school. I wonder if we're still planning to do that."[/font]
