English Class (Not a very catchy title, sorry ^_^')

A drop of poison

Joke? You think I would drug you, tie you up, and drag you into the woods for a little laugh?

WILLIAM

Well I can see why you might pull a trick like this. I mean I did tell the chefs to put a cockroach in your soup last week and you were quite angry. So this is your payback isn’t it? I still makes me laugh just thinking about it.

(William begins laughing.)

SETH

This has nothing to do with your pathetic games. And would you stop laughing!

(Will continues to laugh uncontrollably.

                        He takes a deep breath before having

                        Another laughing fit.)

WILLIAM

I’m sorry Haha truly sorry haha, but I can’t haha stop it.

SETH

Shut Up! Shut Up! Shut UP! You bloody imbecile!

(Seth takes his sword and points it

at Will’s neck. William raises his head

in retreat as the sharp tip touches his

Adam’s apple. He tries to control the

Urges to snicker, but some manage

To slip out,) 

SETH

Wipe that stupid grin off your face. Every one just loved how happy you always were. Finding every depressing thing and turning it into something cheery, but not anymore for once I will make you see that not everything can be fixed and be bright.

(William’s head tilted in confusion.)

WILLIAM

If this is not about the silly joke than what has gotten you so upset?

SETH

You! It was always you! Everyday I had to pretend to be your friend! Pretend that I actually cared about you.

WILLIAM

I don’t understand-

(Seth cuts him off)

SETH

That’s just it! You never understand! You just go through life oblivious to your surroundings. Oblivious to the anger that has been boiling inside me for all these years! But now I have my chance to destroy your world and make it mine.

WILLIAM

I’m sorry cousin, truly I am. But if you just told me that I was being a burden I would have found someone else to tell my troubles to.

(Seth puts his hand to his fore head

and furrows his eye brows. He starts pacing)

SETH

There you go again. Always trying to solve every problem you come across.

(William cuts him off)

WILLIAM

But that’s my duty as prince! My job is to help the people and to create peace. And hopefully soon rule and protect these people.

SETH

Save it! I’m not some noble man you need to impress! Just three days ago you were telling me how scared you are!
