~Part 12~

                                    

                                          
Virgil walked off the stage after play practice that Wednesday as Erin shouted out to everyone. "Okay everyone short practice today cause of the sporting events going on, good job! Time is ticking and the play will be here before you know it, so for those of you with bigger parts and more lines, you may want to practice a bit on your own time, other then that you're free to go!" 
                          
Virgil started to leave when Roman jogged up behind him. "Hey you wanna run some lines together?" 
                          
"When?" Virgil sighed automatically annoyed by his presence. 
                          
"Now, duh." Roman rolled his eyes. "You aren't doing anything are you?"
                          
"No, but what makes you think I'd want to spend my free afternoon with you?" Virgil replied harshly. 
                          
Roman just scoffed. "Look I'm not ecstatic about it either, but you heard Erin, we have a lot of lines to memorize. Practicing would benefit us both." 
                          
Virgil glared at him, but then let out a breath in defeat. "Fine, But we're doing it at your house." 
                          
"Works for me." Roman shrugged as Virgil followed him to his car.

Virgil felt awkward walking into Roman's house. He wasn't one to really go anywhere besides his house, school, and Logan's every once in a blue moon. 
                          
"Just make yourself comfortable I'll be down in minute." Roman stated throwing his bag on an armchair in the living room and quickly going up stairs. 
                          
Virgil gently placed his bag on the floor by his feet and sat down on the couch looking around at the large home. 
                          
Before he knew it Roman was coming back down the stairs, jumping over the last few steps. He'd changed into more casual clothes and Virgil found it strange looking, so ended up staring. 
                          
"So I was thinking we could so some warmups and then do scene- what?" Roman asked noticing him watching him. 
                          
"Nothing." Virgil replied looking away quickly. "What kind of warmup do you want to do?"
                          
"How about the alphabet game." Roman suggested. "Except you cant just say random words and phrases we have to make a conversation out of it." 
                          
"Whatever. You go first." Virgil replied. 
                          
Prince cleared his throat. "As if I'd loose this game to you."
                          
"Better check that confidence." Virgil rebuked.
                          
"Confidence is key." Roman pointed out
                          
"Don't get cocky"
                          
"Even if I didn't I'd still win."
                          
"Fear is evident in your voice."
                          
"Get real."
                          
"Hold on."
                          
"I don't understand, why?"
                          
"Just to annoy you."
                          
"Kidding around won't work."
                          
"Losing isn't an option."
                          
"Maybe it should be for you."
                          
"Never."
                          
"Optimistic aren't we?"
                          
"Possibly."
                          
"Quite so, I believe."
                          
"Really, then you don't know me."
                          
"Surely I do."
                          
"Test it."
                          
"Unlikely."
                          
"Very interesting."
                          
"What is?"
                          
"Xylophone construction."
