The Play — Susan Johnson

Young love and trouble back in the day; a bad boy senior and a starry-eyed sophomore defying the odds.

Every girl in school wants to be in the play to get closer to football captain Cameron MacKenzie. Well -- almost everyone. Marika, a sophomore, wouldn't have even tried out for a part except her best friend, Jana, was the play's assistant director, and she practically dragged Marika to the audition.

Then shocker of shockers -- Marika is cast opposite tall, dark and handsome, big man on campus, Cameron MacKenzie.
Everyone had assumed Cameron's girlfriend, Tiffany, a senior, would win the role.
But Ms. Healy, the director, has her own ideas and now Marika has the part of Angela, which calls for her to kiss Cameron four times!
At first, during rehearsals, Marika and Cameron are just pretending. Until suddenly they aren't. And everything gets turned upside down.
Tiffany didn't like that Cameron was kissing Marika every night at rehearsals. But when he starts driving her home, Tiffany flips out. And the blond, bombshell cheerleader hatches a plan that will make sure she gets Cameron back for keeps.
Watch out, Marika; really, really, really watch out, Cameron.
The bottom is about to drop out of your worlds.
