When Paul went to the drama club, he saw some familiar faces. His Друзья were there. There were also some acquaintances he had been with in school plays in the past. He saw one girl who he had not seen before. She kept her long, brown hair in a ponytail, and she wore blue jeans. She seemed laid back and fairly quiet. Was she the one for him? At the very least, they could possibly be good friends. She took notice of him too. She said, "Hello." He thought she seemed friendly enough, so he сказал(-а) "hello" back. She said, "I'm Maeve. What's your name?" He said, "I'm Paul. Are Ты new here?" She said, "Kind of. I came here last year, but I wasn't involved in any клубы или anything. To tell Ты the truth, I was scared." He said, "Don't worry. You're безопасно, сейф here, Maeve." She smiled. She said, "Thanks, Paul." Pretty soon, it was time for the tryouts for the upcoming school play. Paul and Maeve were chosen to go first. They were asked to play out a scene where one character was injured, and the other character helped the injured character. Paul naturally was able to pretend to limp. Maeve was able to convincingly pretend to be concerned, wanting to help. This impressed Paul. It seemed that Maeve was equally impressed with Paul's ability to pretend to be injured. After the tryouts ended, Paul and Maeve were told that they both got the lead. They congratulated each other. Paul said, "I'm not surprised Ты got the lead. You're good at acting." Maeve smiled. "I say the same to you. I look вперед to rehearsing with you." He said, "Likewise." After a pause, he said, "I know we just met, but would Ты like to go out for ужин later?" She said, "Certainly. I'd like to get to know еще about you." He said, "I'd like to get to know Ты too." Paul couldn't wait to tell Hank that he got a date. He wondered if maybe Hank got a дата as well.
