Chapter 5

A/N

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been working another story. I will try to update more frequently, but it is hard for me to do several books at once. :)

At lunch, Rachel sat next to Sophie.

"Look what I  found!" Rachel said and showed Sophie the note.

"Woah. Like, woah," Sophie said. "Where do we find the next one?"

"Huh. I  haven't thought about that. I  guess we hit a dead end."

"Ooh, what is that? Are one of you sending that you a boy you like?" Ainsely asked, sitting next to Rachel. Ainsely loved romantic stuff and always read romance stories.

Rachel explained what was going on.

"That is so cool! It is like a real life romance story!" Ainsley squealed.

"But now we don't know where to look for the next one." Rachel said.

"True." Ainsley said.

"So, you guys are coming to stage crew after school, right?" Rachel asked the group.

"I  am!" Sophie said.

"I  am Juliet, remember? I  will still be there though, practicing my lines." Ainsley said.

The school play just started up, and the three girls were very excited to be working on it. Sophie was on the props team. Rachel was doing costumes, though there wasn't much to do, because the school had put this play on before. Ainsley was very glad to have a leading role.

"17 yellow wigs, check," Rachel was taking inventory of the costume closet. She had already found a good costume for Juliet. "Ooh, this is perfect for Romeo!"

Rachel held up a pair of brown trousers to Mary, the other costume person.

"That is great! Hang it on the 'stuff to use' rack." Mary said.

Rachel walked over to the rack and found a good hanger. As she folded up the pants, there was a piece of paper sticking out of the pants pocket. Rachel gingerly took it out and read it.

Blake, can we meet after school behind the dumpsters?

Sorry, Maisy Daisy, but I  am busy.

Are we still on for tomorrow after rehearsal behind the dumpster?

I will be there, but I  might be a little late.
Okay. I  love you, Romeo!
I  love you too, you beautiful props girl!

"Mary, I  have to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." Rachel said, putting the pants on the rack and slipping the note in her pocket.

But, of course, Rachel was not going to the bathroom. She walked to the props closet, and knocked on the door.

"Oh, it's you!" Sophie said, opening the door.

"Come here, I  have something to show you!"

"Ooh, yay!" Sophie stepped out of the closet, into the hallway.

"Look, I  found it in pants that I thought were perfect for Romeo." Rachel handed the note to Sophie.

After a couple seconds, Sophie said,

"Woah, like, woah."

"Yeah. I  guess Blake was Romeo and Maisy was a prop person." Rachel said.

"Meet you at the dumpster after rehearsal?" Sophie seriously asked. Rachel loved how they were both thinking the same thing.

"Yep."

"Hey." Rachel said as Sophie walked behind the dumpster, Ainsley in tow.

"I  told Ainsley about the note," Sophie said. "But I don't get why they are meeting behind the dumpster. It smells a lot back here."

"You guys know nothing. Everybody knows that behind the dumpster is where the couples meet!" Ainsley excitedly said.

"Hey, guys, look!" Rachel pointed to a birch tree that had a bunch of scratching in it.

"Oh, the Tree of Love! I  thought it was just a myth!" Ainsley said, gesturing toward the tree.

"Wait, what?" Sophie questioned.

"The Tree of Love! Don't tell me you haven't heard of the Tree of Love!" Ainsley was shocked, and Sophie and Rachel both shook their heads. "Couples write their names on the tree to say they are in love!" 

"Oh, so why does it say Blake and Brittany with a heart around it?" Rachel asked.

"It can only mean one thing! Blake actually liked Brittany!" Ainsley said.
