Chapter 2

Wen's POV

There it was the Drama room. This is it, my chance to shine. I've always wanted to act; I just never got the chance to. And, to make it even better, Olivia is auditioning too! Hopefully we get to co-star! Miss Reznick went up on stage.

"All right everyone! Welcome to the auditions of the school musical, Lemonade Mouth! The basic storyline is about five kids who start a band in detention. It is a marvelous story about friendship. And, ha-ha! Don't worry there is romance! There are three pairings. Here is how the audition process works. I will pair you up and each pair will read through a scene. When everyone has finished, I will give everyone a song to sing. Then, after auditions I will think it over and post up the cast list," she said. She headed over in our direction. "Here you go, Wen," she said handing me a script. "You will read with Olivia. You will read the part of Will and she will read the part of Odette." She moved down the line.

"There is a love triangle in this musical, as well," Miss Reznick said passing scripts around, "And, I would like Mo, Charlie and…." There was a loud clatter as Ray Beech and Scott Pickett burst into the room.

"Sorry, Miss Reznick," Ray apologized with a smirk, "We would like to audition, too. We were just held up at soccer practice."

"Very well," she said with a frown, "But, I will not tolerate anymore lateness from you two, understand?"

"Yes ma'am," Ray said, extending his hand. Miss Reznick took it and shook it. She handed them scripts.

"All right... As I was saying, I would like Mo, Charlie, and…Scott to read this scene. Mo please read Margaret. Charlie, read Chris. And, Scott, please read Smith. Now, Ray and Stella, I would like you both to pair up. Ray, please read Roy. And, Stella, please read Sophie." Miss Reznick went around the rest of the room to finish assigning parts.

"All right everybody! Aren't you excited now?" Miss Reznick said excitedly, clapping her hands loudly, startling me. "We will begin! Everyone get into your pairs, find a spot to rehearse, and come back in about 10 minutes!" I felt Olivia slowly shaking beside me. I took her hand in mine, and rubbed it soothingly. I pulled her out of the room and into the hallway. We sat down by the wall to talk.

"I'm sorry," Olivia apologized, "I just don't think I can do this."

"No," I said, "I know you can do this because I believe in you." She smiled up at me.

"Really?" she asked.

"Of course," I answered, "are you ready to rehearse now?"

"I think so," she said, slowly standing up and extending her hand to help me up. We began to practice our lines.

And that's chapter two! I hope you enjoyed it! And, don't forget to review!
