Micah Yujin ⁶

Both you and Micah were passionate about theater. You had participated in various plays from fifth through eleventh grade, but this would be the last one you would perform in together. The play was already special, but what made it even better was that it was "Heathers," both of your favorite musicals. You had never landed lead roles before, but this time you gave it your all at the auditions to get good parts. The day the casting results were announced, you got the role of Veronica and Micah got the role of JD! You were both excited and eager for what was to come, but the last thing on your minds was the song "Dead Girl Walking"...

Two months later, when much of the show was already underway, feelings began to develop between you for a reason neither of you could quite grasp. However, when one of the drama teachers called you in for a private session, something strange began to happen. The teacher explained that he wanted to work on the song "Dead Girl Walking" with you; you both became nervous as you realized what that entailed. The teacher gave you a few moments to compose yourselves, but you couldn't stop looking at each other in an awkward silence, your cheeks flushed, until Micah cleared his throat and said:

Micah: "...so, on a scale of 1 to 10, how embarrassing will this be when our parents see it?"
