Thank you again for all the support on this story. I appreciate all of it.

Eeliab8 – I don't mind long reviews. I love having to see what people think of each character. I think it makes reviews better to see what they are thinking.

Riana Salvatore – She hasn't met her yet, but if I have my thinking cap on correctly, Charlie will meet her love interest very shortly.

Any characters not met in this chapter will be in Auditions Part 1, which will be set with Elijah, and then Part 2 will be with Sam.

Chapter 3

Callum's POV

Science was my class destination, and I was sure it was about to suck. I mean, who seriously had to learn science anyways. The planets rotate, stars are really tiny planets billions miles away, the sun comes up, the sun goes down. Rain is water. See everyone already knows things about science, so why do we need teachers who make sure we know this.

As I grab my stuff out of my locker, and stuff them in my duffel bag, I close my locker, and see my sister Darcie talking to some kid I hadn't seen before. I shut my locker, and head in there destination. It is then that I see that they're standing by the Team Spirit board.

"New boyfriend, Darc?" I ask sarcastically, and wink at her.

"He's helping me with my project for class," she tells me, and rolls her eyes. "Not that it matters, but this s Eli. Eli, my brother, Callum," Darcie tells the two of us, as I meet his blue eyes. I could already tell I didn't like this kid, if this was her new love interest, she was nuts.

"Like the Hobbit?" he asks, as I think he's mocking my shirt.

"Don't bash the Hobbit!" I snap at him, as a few students head towards their classes.

"I wasn't. Trust me. The Hobbit has been my favorite book since I could remember. Peter Jackson the other hand, could have done way better with the movie, so I prefer the cartoon version of the movie," he tells me, though, I wasn't really paying attention.

"Well, I have science class to get to," I tell them as the bell rings, and I head in the direction of the science wing.

"Later Calm," Darcie shouts to me, as she announces the nickname she's had for me, since forever. I often wish she hadn't given me that nickname, and often, I wish I could tell her how I really felt about it, as I continue to my class, only thinking about orchestra rehearsal at the end of the day.

Daley's POV

I liked her. That girl I had ran into earlier today. The only thing was, the depression and the anxiety was getting in the way. Or, I should say, I knew was going to get in the way.

As I reach the library, someone was standing alone by the doors, and singing words to a familiar song, and they sounded beautiful. I just wish I knew what they were singing for.

"You sound beautiful," I tell them, and smile quickly.

"Thanks. Stairway is hard to keep in the right tone, so I'm practicing to get it right," he tells me, though, he looked offended I had interrupted him at the bridge of the song, or so, I thought it was the bridge. It had been a while since I had heard the song.

"What is it you're auditioning for?" I ask curiously, as I secretly promise myself that this would be the last question I ask. I was hoping that he would he would get that this was the last question.

"I'm auditioning for Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," he tells me happily, as though, he was confident he was going to get the part.

"I don't know anything about the show, but I hope you get it. You sound amazing," I re-assure him happily, as I adjust my backpack, and decide to officially head in the library, and pick up a copy of the book we were supposed to read for class.

"Thanks, I appreciate that," he tells me, as I meet his eyes quickly, and then I realize I had seen him earlier in one of my classes. Khalon, or something like that.

"You're welcome," I tell him and slip inside the library to get my copy of the book I needed.

I scan the books section, and find a copy of the Giver, and put it back. That was also when I ended up seeing another student from class, Charlie, I think that's what her name was. I just knew I had to try to avoid her. The last thing I needed was for her to give me an anxiety attack. I quickly grab the book again, and head to check it out.

"You dropped this," I hear someone tell me, as I turn around and see what it was that he was talking about. Then I see that it's my journal. My personal journal.

"Thanks," I tell him, as I take the journal back, and wonder how on earth it had fallen out of my bag, as I place it back in my bag, and try to escape the library, even though, it was free period, and I could technically stay in the library until the next class.

"You want to talk about it?" He asks, as checks out a copy of The Auschwitz Escape, and tucks it away as though, he were afraid to show people that he was reading a book about what I thought it was about.

"Not really," I tell him, as I tried to sound offended that he had found my personal journal. As he talked though, I found myself having a crush on this blue eyed boy. The problem is, I was straight, so why was I crushing on him?

"Since, we're rushing to introductions, I'm Daley," I finally tell him. It was sarcastic, but I wasn't sure if I had meant it that way or not. Maybe, it was a way to hear what he was going to say his name was, but I wasn't sure.

"I'm Eli," he tells me, as he looks over at someone or something else. Then looks back at me. "If you want to talk, I'm here to listen," he adds.

"Thanks, I'll remember that, Ice Man," I tell him jokingly, as I was sure I had just given him a new nickname, and I knew his name.

Natalia's POV

"Give me back my books!" I demand to Christen Edgewater, as she takes my books away from me. God, I hated her. At the same time though, I wanted to kiss her, if only for a second.

"I need them for class, and I'll return them later," she tells me, as she walks off towards her class that she was scheduled to be in next. That was when I saw a girl who I had recognized from one of my classes earlier walk by, and instantly, I was drawn to her.

"Murder Capital of the World?" I ask as I catch up with her, and act as though, I had just read her shirt for the first time, as I meet her eyes.

"What's up with everyone asking me that?" she asks sarcastically, as she places her backpack on the floor, by the location I was guessing was her locker.

"I was just reading it," I tell her, then wondered if I should tell her I get the reference. I decide not to tell her, and then push the thought aside, as though it had never appeared in my mind.

"Yeah, I bet you were," she tells me, as she grabs books, and puts them in her backpack, as this was the final class of the day, and then everyone would be headed to their last part of today. I watch as some of the girl soccer players walk by, and I wonder if there is anyone on the team worth crushing on this year. Being as I was a freshman, I doubted it, considering, I was crushing on this girl I was talking to. Or I should say. Trying to talk to.

"If you don't mind, I have class to attend, and I don't need nosy people like you in my way," she finally tells me, as she pulls out a copy of Romeo & Juliet, and then slams her locker shut.

"I was. Oh never mind," I tell her, as she pushes me out of the way, and heads towards her next class. I stand and watch until she fades out of sight, then annoy myself, thinking if I only knew her name, and make a mental plan to get her name by the end of the week.

"Alright now settle down, I know everyone is anxious to get to our assignments, so with that being said, I have randomly assigned you seats, and the person next to you, will be your partner for the rest of the semester, except for on quizzes, and individual projects," our teacher Mr. Atman announces at the class bell announces.

"So, to begin things off, we have Natalia Morris paired up with Khalon Snow," he announces, as he writes down the names on the whiteboard, and I wonder where the hell this Khalon person was. Then I saw everyone moving around trying to figure out where people were, and he was the only one on the right hand side up front who hadn't moved. I hated that I would be up front, but what could I do about it?

"Welcome to the front row," was all he had said to me, as I took a seat in the available seat beside him, and smiled. I was totally into girls, but damn, he was gorgeous. I think you use that word to describe boys. He opened his notebook, and that was when I saw he had scribbled LGBT meeting Mrs. Forester's room – 3:30. I just smile, because, I knew that at least someone else aside me was gay.

Finally class was done for at the end of the day, and I file out of the room, and head for my locker. I had no clue what this school was planning at the end of the day, but I knew I had things to do.

As I pass an empty looking room, I hear some one singing. I had no clue as to who it was, but they sounded great, and maybe, just maybe, I would stop to check it out. I turned around, and stood in the door frame of the music room, and I saw a boy maybe about six feet tall, blue eyes, and tanned blonde hair. I try to figure out if I had seen him earlier today or not, and I didn't think that I had, and then I go back to admiring him singing.

Forget about the price tag

Ok we need to take in back in time

When music made us all unite

And it wasn't low blows and video hoes,

Am i the only one getting tired

Why is everybody so obsessed?

Money can't buy us happiness

Can we all slow down and enjoy right now

Guarantee we'll be feelin' alright

"You sounded good," I flirtatiously tell him, and smile, as I applaud him for his music. Though, I don't think he seemed to like it any. I couldn't help it, I just had to say something, even if it was a simple compliment.

"Thanks," he tells me with a smile, and then looks back down at the floor before he picks up his backpack, and places it on his shoulders, as though he wanted to leave all of a sudden. "I have to go," he adds, just before he leaves the room, and wonder why he had to leave so soon.

"Why do you have to go?" I ask, though, I doubted he heard me, because he kept walking. It was then that I had decided to follow him. I was curious.

It was then, that I had found out two things. One. He ended up at the auditorium, and two; the girl I had a crush on was there. It may have been stupid, but I was going to hang around, and found out what was going on, and without knowing, I was going to be a part of this. Whatever it was.

I'm not really sure I like the ending so in Eli's POV I may change it a bit.
Everyone is slowly starting to meet Eli, and crushes are starting to form all before things begin, which may or may not be a good thing.
