Liam
How's living with Lucas?
Liam tapped Niall's shoulder. He missed him badly.
Niall
It's fine
Niall looked off at the seats waiting for Liam to leave.
Liam
Niall, we graduate on Sunday
Are you really never going to speak to me again?
I miss you...
Liam frowned wanting to take Niall's hand. But moved away as the sister came back in.
SISTER CHANTELLE
Ok, let's run Pilgrims' Hands

KYRA
Ivy's not here, Sister Chantelle

SISTER CHANTELLE
Again?! Wonderful...
Who's Juliet's understudy?
Diane yelled as she ran up to Liam.
DIANE
I am!
The sister rolled her eyes and the pointed at Liam.
SISTER CHANTELLE
Alright Diane...
Liam...

Liam
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To soothe that rough touch with a tender kiss
Liam held his hand up as he stared into her eyes making her blush madly.
DIANE
Good pilgrim...
Good pilgrim...
Wait! I know it, I swear! Good pilgrim
She yelled and went to her book as Niall sighed and went up to Liam holding up his opposite hand.
Niall
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much
Which mannerly devotion shows in this
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss
They stopped when Zach laughed at them both of them blushing from embarrassment.
SISTER CHANTELLE
Zach, in Shakespeare's time boys played all the parts
So I'll thank you to keep your ignorance as hidden as possible
My suggestion would be to stop breathing
Liam...
Liam took a breath a started where they left off raising his other hand.
Liam
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
Niall did the same with his opposite hand they walked in a circle staring at each other.
Niall
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer

Liam
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do
They pray, grant thou...lest...lest...
Liam bit his lip as he tried to remember as Niall grinned and finished his line for him.
Niall
...lest faith turn to despair
Niall moved away from him as Ivy came in she looked even worse then he last saw her
SISTER CHANTELLE
Well done, Niall . Ivy, nice of you to join us, but we're finished
(...)
This room will be left open if you want to get together one more time
This room will be left open, if you decide you want to get together one more time.
As for me, I'm going to do a little Pontius Pilate, and wash my hands of it all
The sister said in disgust as she left slamming the door in the way.
RORY
Guys, we really need to run this. Let's meet here tonight at seven o'clock

TANYA
All of us...and don't be late
Tanya said staring at Ivy hard. As everyone left Ivy grabbed Liam's arm.
IVY
I need to talk to you...do you not get messages?
Liam rolled his eyes pulling his arm away.
Liam
Do you not get messages?
Fine...what is it?
She tugged in his arm in the direction of her dorm.
IVY
Not here, come back to my room
Liam pulled away and started to walk off. But stopped and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Liam
I can't, I have to finish my speech
Look, you're coming to rehearsal tonight, right?
I can't do this scene without you

IVY
It looks like you can

Liam
I'll meet you before practice

IVY
I'll come by your room

Liam
Fine
They both went into different directions. As niall came back in passing the sister who came in a few minutes before. Niall chuckled nervously.
Niall
I forgot this

SISTER CHANTELLE
But you remembered all of Juliet's lines
Niall blushed and started to walk out but the sister blocked his way
Niall
I help Liam rehearse
I should go...

SISTER CHANTELLE
Sit down, we're gonna talk about what's bothering you
Because this production has got to be honest
Sister Chantelle don't direct diner theater

Niall
You wouldn't understand

SISTER CHANTELLE
Niall, honey, I think i've been around enough (...) loud pride and clear.
Sit down.
Niall sighed and sat in the chair.
Niall
I don't know what God wants from me.

This goes into God Dont Make No Trash.
