Kissing Scene
by Carl Martin

An hour before acting class, Ashley and Richard meet to rehearse their scene.

It calls for them to kiss five times, but whenever they get to the first kiss they break character to argue – about Richard's lateness, about Ashley's attitude, about who chose this scene and why.

Does one of them have a secret crush on the other?

They'll have to rehearse the entire scene to find out – if they can make it that far.
