"ok everyone I konw there is a lot of hate going around here, with the video and everything the Students at James Madison High do not soport violence of any kind so let's just all try to be a unified school we are stronger together, thank you" 

the intercom beeped, that was the end of it. 

The kids looked up at the intercom is disbelief. Like any day they were in the theater. 

Trent looked at them everyone started talking all at once "class, class Settle down. Thank you! Yes there is hate and yes there is pain and violence in this world, this school.. 

Andrew turned to Ellie "you think he's going to mention Julliard?"  

"oh yeah" 

"this reminds me of my time at Julliard...

"oh yep! there it is" 

"when I was adrift in my life not knowing where to go or who to turn too we must remember to love each other, love thy neighbor trumps them all" 

"what does that mean?' Harper scoffed 

Isabel looked at Frankie "yes he's gonna sing!!" 

Frankie looked at her confused "what?' 

"you'll love it it's great" Andrew said to Frankie "some of you are Christians yes?" 

over half the room nodded, including Frankie she shrugged "not all of us hate the gays. I still believe in god and I'm bi. There are more of us out there then you think" 

"ok so you trust what the bible says right? but some of the rules are outdated like it's a sin to have a tattoo. or being homosexual is a sin, but the good thing about god is he loves everyone no matter who they love, It's people who get it wrong." 

"see what I mean is this.." 

Trent stood up and started to sing and move around the room "You can't cherry pick the bible, choosing which part you wanna believe

We don't do thatYou don't? What's this?Kaylee has a small tattoo
That tattoo would be taboo
Kaylee guess what waits for you
An eternity in the fiery pits of hell
Hey!Shelby, you seem sweet to me
But if it has come to be
You've lost your virginity
We'll be stoning you and your family as wellWhat?Or we could use some common sense instead
When you're lost it always helps recalling
Those immortal words that Jesus said
There's one rule that trumps them all
Love Thy Neighbor

Love Thy Neighbor trumps them allYou know, you make a lot of senseWhat are you talking about?You don't feel even slightly bad for Emma? You guys used to hang outThat was before she turned gay
Well, maybe she was always gayExactly, because that's how God made her, Shelby
He's just trying to confuse us. My stepdad always says --
Woah, stepdad? You mean your parents are divorced?Yeah, so?
Oh, divorce is a big no-noNot to oversimplify
But the scripture does imply
That your mom will have to die
How's tomorrow if she's not got any plans?UhThere's no way to separate
Which rules you can violate
Let's hope you don't masturbate
'Cause the scripture says we'll have to cut off your hands
Or we could use some common sense instead
When you're lost it always helps recalling
Those immortal words that Jesus saidThere's one rule that trumps them all

Everybody cheered and clapped Trent took a bow and smiled. Isabel could tell even though he loved his job he missed his friends and preforming.
