Avneet, Rohan and the rest of the crew were getting ready for the rehersal.
Rohan: Ok! Let's pick off from where we left Act 1 Scene 5. Ok?
Avneet: But we have to practice the kissing scene! And Riyaz is not here.
Rohan: We will work it out. Promise.
Meanwhile Sid stopped Ashi.
Ashi: Omigosh! I am so sorry I didn't not mean to.
Sid: No no no no! It is ok! I just wanted to tell you that....it is kind of hard to explain, it is actually kind of funny.
Just then Rohan came in.
Rohan: Ashi, you gotta see this.
Ashi got up and followed Rohan.
There was a splatter of red coloured paint on the wall.
Ashi: Avneet, are you gonna blame this one on us as well.
Avneet: Are you saying we did this. No one comes to see the sets. They all come to see Romeo and Juliet.
Rohan: Ya! That is if Romeo even shows up!
Avneet: Shut up Rohan! You have been mean to Riyaz this entire time!
Ashi: Hey! Don't talk to Rohan like that.
Sid: Listen! Someone is trying to sabotaged the school play! And I think I can figure out who it is.
Ashi: How?
Rohan: Oh you know? He is a reporter for the school magazine. You know the one writing about Ashi and Avneet.
Ashneet gasped.
Sid: Look, I was gonna tell you.
Ashi: I trusted you.
Sid: I stopped writing about you! I am just here to figure out who the phantom is!
Rohan: It is probably you!
Avneet: Yeah! All this Phantom stuff started after you showed up!
Sid: I was with Ashi the whole time.
Ashi: I think you should go.
And she moved away.
Sid: Ashi, I-
Rohan: Hey Man, you heard her! Get out of here.
And Sid hung his head and walked away.
Avneet put her hand on Ashi's shoulder.
"Are you ok?" She asked.
"The show must go on right?" Ashi said teary eyed.
Meanwhile the phantom sat in the chair eating a bag of popcorn and laughing.
