In the auditorium, a few people have decided to audition, Mairnette sit down and sighed a little bit.
Luka: Hey, Marinette.
Marinette: Hey, Luka. What are you doing here?
Luka: I heard about the Romeo and Juliet play, I wanna give it try.
Marinette: Really?
Luka: Yeah. What about you?
Marinette: I decided to try out for the role of Juliet.
Luka: I didn't know you could act.
Marinette: I've been in school plays when I was 7, it's been a while since I did a play. There was fairytale plays, scary plays, love plays, and other stuff I've been in.
Luka: Wow. You must be good at it.
Marinette: It's not too bad. They always make me the lead in the plays.
Luka: I'm sure you'll get the role of Juliet.
Marinette: Maybe.
Chloe: Ha! Dupain-Cheng, you're gonna audition for the play? This is too much.
Marinette: What's wrong with that?
Chloé: Nothing. I never knew you would be into plays.
Marinette: I have been into plays. This is something I wanna try, not that I still got it.
Chloé: I hope you won't get the lead role. I'm the best actress in the whole school. Everyone knows that.
Marinette: Everyone? Or just you? *Chloe was offended.*
Chloé: We'll see who gets the lead role of Juliet after this. Hmph.
Luka: Something tells me you and her don't get get along well.
Marinette: You don't know the half of it. *Soon, the theater teacher, Ms. Grove walk on stage.*
Ms. Grove: Hello everyone. I am Ms. Grove, the drama club and theater instructor. I see some of you are interested in trying out for the roles of the characters.
Chloé: Um, Ms. Grove, can you please give me the Juliet role? I am the better actress than everybody in here. *Marinette rolled her eyes and scowled.*
Ms. Grove: I'm sorry, Chloé. But I can't just give you the Juliet part, you have to audition for the part and then I'll decide who gets what part. And plus, you gotta let other get a chance for the role, not just you.
Chloé: Ridiculous utterly ridiculous! I'll have you know, I am much better than everyone in this auditorium! Except for you, Adrikins, I know you're good for the Romeo part.
Marinette: I think I'm gonna be sick.
Ms. Grove: I'm sorry Chloé, but that's the rules. If you can't accept it, then would you kindly leave the auditorium?
Chloé: I'm staying and trying out.
Ms. Grove: Good. Could you please sit down so I can continue, please?
Chloé: Fine. *She sit down.*
Ms. Grove: As I was saying, we will start with the roles in the play. So listen closely please. The roles are Lord Montague, Lady Montague, Romeo, Mercutio, Friar Laurence, Tybalt, Benvolio, Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, Juliet, Nurse, Friar John, and other characters I will assign later on. Now I want you all to look at your scripts that are under your seats and pick what character you wanna try out for and I'll tell you who gets what role after the audition. *They grab their scripts and look over them.*
Nino: Hmm. Mercutio is a role I can do. He's Romeo's best friend.

Nino: He did?
Alya: Yeah? You didn't know that?
Nino: No.
Adrien: I'm sure you'll get the part.
Nino: Hope so. What about you? The Romeo part could be good for you.
Adrien: I doubt it.
Alya: Why not?

Nino: I'm sure you're good.
Adrien: I could try the Lord Montague part.
Nino: True.
Luka: They all are good characters. Have you thought what role you want to try?
Marinette: I might try out for Juliet.
Luka: I think you might get the role.
