Secret Relationship Issues:

     Claire and James have been been secretly dating for the past six months. The pair has been sneaking around to save their public reputations. James finds out that he is being sent off to military school and is breaking the news to Claire. Claire is waiting for James in the janitor's closet until the door knob turns ever so slightly and a crack of light fills the room. A shadow appears in the doorway.

     "Who's there?" Claire shouted terrified. 

     James replies, "It just me,sweetheart." 

     "Happy Anniversary!" Claire exclaimed.

     "Back at you, darling!" James replied with a wink.

     "Shhhh",  whispered Claire playfully lightly punching him in the arm.  She adds, "We don't want anyone to catch us."

     James asked, "How much longer are we going to have to keep this up?"

     Claire whined, "No idea, I can't  risk losing my reputation."

     James questions, "so I'm not worth the suffering?" 

    "I don't know; we are from two different cliques. Aren't you worried of other people's opinions?" Claire said devastated.

    "Don't you love me?" James asked hurt.

    "It is better for both of us to keep our distances." Claire stated concerned.

    James said, "We can't sneak around forever."

   "I guess you're right." agreed Claire, snuggling in closer with James.  

   "It would pain me to lose you." sniffed James.

    Claire asked compassionately,"What do you mean? What's the matter?"

   "My parents are sending my off to military school!" James choked through tears.

   Claire whisper-shouts, "Your leaving me, after all I've risked!"

   James whispers wholeheartly, "Always rememeber that no matter what happens I will always love you", he adds "Good night, my love."

   Claire gave James a light peck on the cheek. "Good-bye!", she whispered dissapointed as she ran off bawling  into the distance.
