          The bell rang. Everyone burst out of the classroom doors and ran to their lockers. They were all cramming the halls to try to get to the cafeteria. It was the day before the start of December, and everyone couldn't wait for the Christmas activities that would soon come. As all the students, in their crisp white shirts and pants, began running to the cafeteria, there was one that stood out. Mainly because they weren't in a rush to get lunch. They walked out of the classroom and moped until arriving at their locker. They took out a crumpled up brown bag, with a box inside, and slammed shut their locker. They started for the cafeteria until hearing the voice of a familiar friend.

         "KRIS! WAIT UP!" screamed a voice. Kris looked behind their shoulder to see who was calling out to them. It was the fluffy boy himself, Ralsei. He stopped in front of Kris and began panting in exhaustion.

         "Ralsei. I'm not that far from you. I'm barely three feet." 

         "Let me...catch...my...breathe."

          "Jesus, you sound like you ran a marathon."

           "Yeah...haven't gotten...much exercise!" Ralsei stammered. Kris raised an invisible eyebrow.

           "I thought you did track?" 

           "I decided to quit...I needed to focus...on my study's..."

           "On the first day?"

           "Alright, alright, it was just...too much work for a simple goat like me...you know?"

           "Eh, Makes sense," Kris said. They both began walking down the hallway together. Kris looked downwards, looking at his watch. Four blinking numbers flashed on Kris's watch, they read 12:35. Kris sighed, as both Ralsei and Kris walked to two large wooden doors. Ralsei ran in front of Kris, opening the door for him. Kris put his hands in his pockets and walk inside the cafeteria, barely acknowledging that Ralsei opened the door. Ralsei frowned a little but ignored it and walked into the cafeteria with him. Kris sat down at a table all by himself and set down his crumpled up lunch bag. He took out the box and opened it up. Inside was a PB&J sandwich, the classic school snack. 

            "This day is never going to get better..." Kris whispered to himself. Ralsei had come back out into the cafeteria with a tray with food. He looked at Kris, sitting all alone, and couldn't help but feel sad for him.

            "RALSEI! COME SIT OVER HERE!" shouted another person. Ralsei looked over at the table. Sitting at the table, and all the other table's on that side, were the monsters. 

            "Come on, dude!" the monster called out.

           "...coming," Ralsei muttered.

                                             A few girls and guys began getting up

                "Oh woah. Oh woah. No such thing as a Hollywood Ending."

                  "Oh woah. Oh woah. No such thing as a Hollywood Ending."

                  "Oh woah. Oh woah. No such thing as a Hollywood Ending."

                  "Oh woah. Oh woah. No such thing as a Hollywood Ending."  

                                                   Ralsei looked towards Kris.

                                         "What was I thinking? This isn't Disney."

                                       "I'm way off script and loosing the plot!"

                         "Things don't turn out that way, I'm not McConaughey."

                                        Turning the charm or calling the shots"

                                      "If this was a movie, maybe he would be"

                                                 "Willing to share my world"

                              "I'm starting to realize, sometimes the nice guys."

                                                "Don't always get the girl!"

                                              A few others began getting up

                        "Cause no one ever tells you when you're young!"

                           "Love's not like the books, the movies, or songs."

                                 "We've been living in a lie for far too long!"

                                           "And we're tired of pretending!"

                           "There's no such thing as a Hollywood. Ending!"

                 Ralsei walked over to Kris's table, Kris gave a light smile

                            He then turned to look at a table of monsters. 

                                               They were mocking him...

                                                     Kris rolled his eyes.

          "Don't be mistaken, my heart's not breakin'. Let them all talk."

                                                   "I don't give a sh**."

                                    "Kill my reshag, it's all such a drag."

                               "I'm more than the last piece waiting to fit"

                             Kris stood up, banging his hands on the table.

  "I'm not a princess, sat in a white dress, hoping my chance will come!"

                        "Then I'm the problem, don't wanna solve em'!"

                                      "Just wanna have some fun!"

                              Everyone jumped up from their seats

                    "Cause no one ever tells you when you're young!"

                   "Love's not like the books, the movies, or songs."

                        "We've been living in a lie for far too long!"

                                 "And we're tired of pretending!"

                     "There's no such thing as a Hollywood. Ending!"

           A skeleton with a hood and another girl jumped onto a table

                        "I've got the one I want right next to me!"

                           "I hope to god it works out, perfectly!"

                       "Oh, what if this was all just meant to be?"

                                   "I want a love never ending!"

                                   "Your, love, is standing here!"

                                "It's not belief I'm suspending."

                                        "I'll never disappear."

                                 "I'll get my Hollywood Ending!"

    An adult emerged from the shadows and looked at the students

    It was hard to tell who it was, but one could see it was a monster

   "Oh woah. Oh woah. No such thing as a Hollywood Ending."

    "Oh woah. Oh woah. No such thing as a Hollywood Ending."

   "Oh woah. Oh woah. No such thing as a Hollywood Ending."

                                       "Oh woah. Oh woah."

   The skeleton, Kris, Ralsei, and the girl all jumped onto the table

          "Cause no one ever tells you when you're young!"

                              "I want a love never ending!"  

           "Love's not like the books, the films, or the songs."

                            "It's not belief I'm suspending."  

             "We've. Been. Living in a lie for far too long!"

                         "And we're tired of pretending!"

        "There's no such thing as a Hollywood. Ending!"

                     Kris squatted down onto the table

                                        "This. Is. Not."

                      "The story you've been dreaming of."

                      "The one where you get all you want."

                               "So stop your pretending!"

                      Kris looked up at the skeleton and girl

                              "There's no such thing as a!"

                              "There's no such thing as a!"

                              "There's no such thing as a!"

                                        Kris leaped up

                            "Hollywood Endiiiiiiiiing!"

                                                            "RING RING RING RING"

    Everyone immediately ran from the cafeteria, and back into the hallways. Luckily, in this school, the end of lunch was the end of school. Everyone ran to their locker to fill their backpack's with their homework, books, and papers that needed to be done soon. Ralsei and Kris were no exception. Kris put in his history textbook, as well as some papers from ELA. Ralsei put in his Algebra II textbook in his backpack, some papers from ELA, and some other papers from History. Once done, they both got their coats ( Ralsei grabbing an instrument case from his locker ) and headed for the door. 

    Kris stepped foot outside and heard a loud crunch. He widened his eyes, and looked down to the ground...it was snow. 

    "OH THANK GOD! SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO!" Kris screamed. If the students were lucky, they might be able to get a snow day tomorrow! 

    "Hey wait, Kris-" Ralsei shouted. It was too late, Kris had started running down the steps with utter joy. He ran home, leaving Ralsei to watch him from afar.

    "Oh, okay...bye Kris!" Ralsei whispered. He waved his hand at Kris, even though he didn't see it. Ralsei sighed and looked downwards, as he began walking towards where the buses were.
