Gabriella heard what Troy said and turned glaring at him "Troy!" she hissed "You won't say anything! Not here, not at home, not anywhere! You are not a saint yourself! she said whispering. When sh heard him snorting she softly hit him on the shoulder as she headed to help Liz. When she heard that she was a she shook her head she returned to her seat and turned her attention back to the black board and her notes.
'Alright, now that that's cleared up, I'm going to separate you into pairs... Troy, with Gabriella, and Song, with Ryan... Elizabeth can join you.'
She heard the teacher saying... She nodded her head when she suddenly snapped "Wait what?" she asked loudly Oh no... This is not going to be good" she thought to herself horrified as she bit her lower lip

Liz heard her brother snort after she got up and glared at him. Way to make me feel so much better... Troy. She bit her lip still unsure of what to do. She hoped the teacher wouldnt be angry at everyone. The teacher seemed pretty nice so far , nicer then her freshman english teacher.

Song raised an eyebrow. ‘Hey, no need to get so down,’ he said. ‘Come on, if every stupid little thing I said actually mattered to someone… I don’t know. The world would end, or something dramatic like that.’
Maybe he should be getting a warm fuzzy feeling inside that somehow, someone liked things he said, although the sanity of such an opinion would be a little questionable. But instead, he felt a little twinge of guilt as he realized what he had said had made this girl upset. Even though he didn’t really understand- maybe it was because of the fact that he had been put in charge of her (what a stupid decision), and that he felt responsible for her.
‘Troy and Gabriella will be studying the relationship between Viola and Orsino- a couple involving lies and deceit, even if they thought it was for the best. Ryan and Song will be studying Sebastien and Olivia, a couple of two people who met by mistake.’
His mind was torn away from Liz as he attempted to focus back onto the lesson at hand. ’Oh, right… great… um… hey, Ryan! Wanna join us, then?’

Liz kinda ignored Song and listened to that teacher state the assignment. Liz waited for Ryan to turn his desk around so they could get started on the assignment. Liz felt really dumb about what happened with Song.. he made her feel kind of dumb. " Lets get working!" She said with a little smile. Hm... Sebastian and Olivia. She checked her notes on her character analysis. Sebastian and Olivia were two people that met by mistake.

Gabriella heard what the teacher said and she shook her head, as she quickly took her seat again. She turned page on her notepad to get a blank one and took her pen, and quickly started writing "I'll write the introduction... And I'll explain the plot to you later since I'm 100% sure that you forgot to read the book" she said to Troy with a low voice
[/size] Viola, twin sister to Sebastian. She is later called Cesario Viola is a young woman of aristocratic birth from Messaline, and the play's primary protagonist. She spends the entire play, after the early shipwreck scene, disguised as a young man, "Cesario".
Orsino, Duke of Illyria Orsino is a powerful nobleman who governs here (either all of Illyria or at least the country round). As the play opens, he has been pining for the Lady Olivia, and sends his new servant, "Cesario" to win Olivia's affection for him. However, the Duke ends up winning the affection of Cesario (really Viola) himself.
In William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" there are several relationships that develop throughout the play. Among the many characters whose interaction and misunderstanding become the core of the plot, Viola and Orsino have the most significant relationship. The way they interact with one another causes the complex conflict of the play, and as the conflict comes to be more complex the two characters turn from strangers to friends and then to lovers. She finished what she was writing and after reading it quickly and correcting some mistaks she turned to look at Troy... "So... shall we start?" she asked as she passed him the notepad with the things she wrote[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]

The class settled down and Liz got back in her seat. Ryan turned his attention back to the front of the class. The teacher wanted them to be in pairs, thankfully, he got Song. It would have been a bad idea for him to get paired up with ether Troy or Gabby. Troy because they weren't on the best terms and Gabby because well, Troy was there! He was thankful to get paired up with Song and Liz. Song was a good guy.
He heard Song say his name. "Sure." Ryan answered glancing behind him. He turned his desk so that he was a part of their little group. He chewed on the end of his pencil in thought. "So, Sebastien and Olivia...what do you remember about the book Song?"

'Hmm... as far as I can recall, Sebastien arrived with his sea captain friend,' he said. 'Viola thought that he was dead, so dressed up as a man to get a job. Being his twin sister, she looked exactly like him- yeah, weird, I know- so people who didn't know Sebastien would think that he's Viola. So Olivia, who had been in love with the man-Viola... haha, man-Viola... sees Sebastien and thinks it's her. So she immediately convinces Sebastien to marry her, and Sebastien in turn is immediately convinced.'
He twirled a pen around and bit into the end. 'I suppose what we really could work out is whether this relationship is really an 'honest' one. I mean, if you thought about it, if it hadn't been for Viola, Olivia might've felt nothing for Sebastien when she saw him. I suppose she immediately reacted on what she saw and felt rather than what she thought was right.'

Liz tired to listen to Song and Ryan. But her mind drifted off cause she really didn't know the book or anything. She tapped her fingers on the desk , staring at the clock. Awaiting the bell's arrival. Liz looked over at her brother and Gabriella working ingeniously. She thought about how this was all Katie's fault.

Ryan nodded his head in agreement with Song, "Yeah and I kinda feel sorry for the twins." He scratched the back of his neck and then continued, "They look so much alike, that can't be fun and, Sebastian keeps on getting mistaken for his sister. Ouch." Ryan knew that he definitely wouldn't want to be mistaken for his twin sister, Sharpay. He knew she would feel the same way about this.
He thought that Song had brought up a good point, the couple hadn't met on the best terms, Olivia had thought that Sebastian was the man version of his sister. "Olivia was really more in love with an image then the person. She didn't really even know Sebastian." He would have to remember to write some stuff down so he would have something to turn in later.

Troy looked at Gabriella with a small pout, "Is working with me really that bad?" he asked, smirking a bit. He turned to the front once the teacher started talking again and soon turned back around to Gabriella, slowly nodding as she spoke pf what she was going to do. He rasied an eyebrow when she mentioned a book, "We had to read a book?" He asked before turning into his bag and pulling out the book. "Oh, this one? Yeah, i didnt read it.." he said sheepishly.
When Gabriella started writing Troy took a peek over her shoulder to see what she was writing. "Uh..I guess" He shrugged at her question once she finished writing.

Gabriella heard what he asked and she turned to look at him "Well in depends on the thing we are orking on together" she said shrugging her shoulders [b"And from what I can see... Literature is not your strong point"
[/b] she said joking shaking her head. At his qustion Gabriella turned to look at him with an expression of disbelief "Wow! I'm a psychic!" she joked as she continued writing. Once she was done she looked at Troy "Ok these are the basic informations and the introduction of what we have to do... ut to work you have to know the plot" she said sighing "Ok so... Viola survives a shipwreck, finds herself at Illyria, and takes it as a way to make it at a world of men. So she decides to dress as a man, and taes the name Cesario, and she insinuates herself into the service of the Duke of Illyria, Orsino. Orsino now is in love with Olivia. Olivia falls in love with Cesario who is actualy Viola, while Viola is in love with Orsino. To add to the farce Viola's identical twin, Sebastian arrives on the scene. Sebastian has also survived the shipwreck, although Viola thinks he has drowned. So anyway, Viola an Orsino ends up together after a lot of misunderstandings and Olivia and Sebastian falls in love and mery. End of story" she explained as simple as she could so he could understand the basic lines of the plot "And now we have to study the relationship between Viola and Orsino"[/color][/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]

'Exactly. So Viola's relationship is arguably a lot better than Sebastien's, since the reason Olivia loves Sebastien is because of someone else. Must be pretty darn frustrating for Sebastien. But eventually, it somehow works out. Could it be because Olivia grows to love Sebastien for who he is rather than his sister?'
'So obviously, there must have been something different from Viola which Sebastien had which made Olivia fall in love with him,' he reasoned. 'And if you notice, the huge argument before Sebastien appeared happened because of an understanding- because two crowds saw two different people for who Viola was. The irony is that Viola was neither of those two people- she wasn't a page, and she wasn't Sebastien either, and the conflict happened because nobody saw her for who she really was.'
'This means,' he continued, 'That Sebastien was the only one who remained honest to himself all the way through- and coincidentally, he was the only one who didn't really go through a tough time during the course of the play.'

Liz's then tuned back into the conversation listening along. Wow.. she started comparing relationships in her head from those in the book to those now a days. Very different. After Song's ramble , the book started to seem very appealing to her. She wanted to find out more about the relationship between Viola,Orsino , Sebastion and Olivia. Liz didn't read the book so she couldn't contribute. She felt pretty pointless.

"Good observations Song." Ryan smiled and wrote some stuff down. "Shakespeare seemed to have similar themes thoughout all of in his plays- books." Ryan really knew more about Shakespeare though seeing his plays or analysis of them in drama class other than reading his books. If he was assigned to read it for a class then yes, he would read it but, for pleasure reading Shakespeare was not at the top of Ryan's list.
Thinking about Shakespeare brought back the memory of when he first met Gwen. He had done Romeo's famed monologue from Romeo & Juliet for her. Wow, a lot has happened since that meeting on the skating rink, they've gotten to be better friends. Really Ryan didn't think of it as something more, sure he felt funny when he was with her and he often wanted to impress her but, he really was clueless.
"Anyway, Sebastien is probably the most stable character with the least layers mainly because he isn't in the book as much as the others." Ryan didn't have as much to say as Song but he hoped what he said helped.

Troy chuckled, "Right" he said quickly before letting Gabriella explain what the book was about and what they were supposed to be writing about. He nodded casually as she spoke, looking at her before interupting. "Uh..should I take notes?" He asked, with a small smirk, before letting her continue. He rasied an eyebrow when she finished, "So..its kind of like what Elizabeth did in Pirates of the Carribean 3, crossed with Romeo and Juliet?" He asked, kind of understanding what she was saying, but was still very confused. "Maybe I should have read the book" he said before looking at the book that was on the desk infront of him and opening it to the first page.
((..this reminds me so much of my english class -_-))
