GREASE IS THE WORD
It was spring-time at Community High School- and everyone knew what that meant: it was time for the annual school musical! That year the students were performing the classic 1950's love story, Grease, directed by the drama teacher, Chris McClain. No one had been expecting it, but there was a big turn out at the auditions…
"What the heck are all you people doing here?!" he yelled, "Don't you guys have anything better to do that audition for some stupid musical?"
Everyone looked at each other, than back at Chris. There were mutters of 'not really' and 'my mom said I needed a hobby'. Chris shrugged, sighed, and stepped up onto the stage. "Okay, people, the play is called Grease. Does anyone know what it's about? Anyone?" Duncan slowly raised his hand.
"Well, I think it's about this guy and girl who-"
"Hold up!" Chris interrupted, "Duncan? Why are you here? You never even show up to chorus class and now you want to be in a musical? What's that about?"
"Geoff dared me." He answered simply.
Geoff rolled his eyes, "Oh yeah, and the fact that Courtney's here has nothing to do with it?" Several people snickered at this. Courtney huffed and shoved Geoff angrily from her seat behind him. Bridgette, sitting in the seat next to Courtney, tried unsuccessfully to stifle her laughter. Courtney glared at her friend.
"Stop laughing!"
Chris frowned in dismay, "But if Geoff dared you, then why is Geoff here?"
"I dared him back; and he, of course, could never miss a chance to be with Malibu, over here" Duncan informed Chris, jerking a thumb towards Bridgette.
Courtney raised her hand. "Excuse me, Mr. McClain, but could we get back to the story?"
"So anyway," Duncan continued, "the story is about a guy and girl going to a 1950's high school. The guy is in this really dumb gang called the T-birds who don't even do actual gang stuff. I mean, sure they smoke cigars and all, but probably none of them have ever picked up a weapon in their entire lives and-"
"Getting back on subject…" Chris reminded him, tapping on his watch impatiently.
Duncan realized how off- track he'd been, "Oh, right. So the guy, his name is Danny by the way, is in his high- school gang. The girl, Sandy, is a new student at Rydell High School. She becomes friends with this clique, the Pink Ladies. Then she falls in love with that Danny guy, and uh… I think that's it. At the end of the movie Danny and Sandy go off together in a flying-car-thing" He concluded.
Chris nodded in approval. "Good. Now, obviously, I won't be able to cast all of you. The list will be up by tomorrow." He waited for a moment. No Questions. "Let's hear some people sing. Geoff, you're up first. Sing any random song."
Geoff started to sing a few notes. It was pretty bad. "Stop! Stop!" Chris yelled, covering his ears. Geoff ceased his singing and looked at Chris hopefully. "Geoff, I can't lie, that was awful." Geoff looked down at the ground, thoroughly humiliated. "But I do have the perfect part for you."
"Which is…?"
"Geoff, you get to be….. the stage manager!"
"Woo-Hoo! All right, yeah! I get to be the stage manager!" Geoff yelled excitedly, "Wait, one question. What's a stage manager?"
"It means that you get to do stuff for me. In fact, let's do a practice run right now. Geoff, go make me a sandwich."
Geoff's face fell, "But, Mr. McClain, I-"
"You're the stage manager. That's a big job. You do want to get some practice at it, don't you?"
The blonde sighed in defeat, "6 inch, or foot-long?"
"Foot-long, hold the onions." Then, turning back to the rest of the group, "Now, where were we?"

So that was chapter 1! The cast list will be up in the next chapter. Nearly all of the campers from TDI are in it, so be ready for some drama. The summary that was given is very loose. If you want a better summary, than type in 'Grease' on Wikipedia. So, thanks for reading, please review if you have the time.
