Lillian was reading over different scripts for productions that were going to be put on at theaters through out the town. She saw one of the jocks point at her. She rolled her eyes and went back to reading.

Marco frowned, "their not all that bad… You know that right?" Josh shrugged and pulled out a pair of earbuds.

Lee plopped down in a chair, preparing for the boredom of English class.

Lillian bit her thumb and turned her eyes toward the jocks. She doubted they knew what it meant anyway. She looked back at the scripts and put them away waiting for the teacher to enter.

Marco let out a sigh when Mrs. Foshly (I'm terrible at last names…) entered the room. She began writing a quote on the board. "To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." She then backed away from the board, "can anyone tell me who said this?"

Lillian's hand shot up into the air.

Mrs. Foshly immediately called on Lillian.

Marco started tapping his pencil on the desk.

(Ok… I'm really bad at it tho)
Mr. Higgans stood up and clapped for attention, "Today, we will be reading To Kill a Mockingbird."

Lowe sighed, why couldn't they read some kind of play, instead?

"Shakespeare wrote it in the play Hamlet. It was said by Polonius to Laertes in Act 1 scene 3 page 3," Lillian responded quickly. It was a bit more information than needed but oh well.

Lee perked up. Her sis had read that one and said it was good.

Dexter shuffled into math. He plopped down at his desk and sighed.

"Who wants to read first?" Mr. Higgans asked and waited for a volunteer.

Lowe raised his hand, even if it wasn't a play, it'd still be fun to read.

"Ok, Lowe, read the first sentence, please," Mr. Higgans said.

Lowe read the first paragraph on accident.

"Shakespeare wrote it in the play Hamlet. It was said by Polonius to Laertes in Act 1 scene 3 page 3," Lillian responded quickly. It was a bit more information than needed but oh well.

Marco took out a piece of paper and wrote down the info that Lillian had just said. He was never good at remembering important things, but somehow, (cheating), he'd gotten good grades.

"Well done, Miss Phoenix," Mrs. Foshly paced the room stopping near Josh, who had, by the looks of it, fallen asleep to his music. She drummed her nails on his desk. Once he got up she handed him a pink detention slip.

Lillian smiled smugly. Thank you theater. You are truly a god.

(SORRY I LEFT IN THE MIDDLEEEEE, MY MOM TURNED OFF MY TURNED OFF MY COMPUTER AND YELLED AT ME, and I'm gonna do a little time skip)
She was in English class, behind Lowe, and follows along.
