Cody was walking down the hallway towards the front deck to the smoothie bar. He was going to ask Bailey out on a date but unsure how to do it. So he decided to just wing it.
He walked over to the bar and sat down next to Bailey.
"So, Bailey, what classes are you taking?" Cody asked casually.
"Oh you know the basics. Algebra three, physics, advanced biology, earth and space science, advanced world history, extremely advanced American history, and a Japanese class." Bailey said.
"Wow, I am taking most of those classes, although I don't think Japanese is on my schedule. I didn't know that there could be an extremely advanced history class." Cody shrugged his shoulders.
"Yeah, so…" Bailey started but couldn't think of anything to say.
Cody started sweating because of how nervous he was. Without hesitation, he spit it out, "Bailey would you like to go out on a date with me."
"Um, sure… I mean yes, I would love to." Bailey smiled, "Uh, where should we go?"
"Well I was thinking that we could go to the restaurant up stairs the sea food one." Cody said.
"Sounds great. Pick me up at 6:45." Bailey said.
"It's a date." Cody smiled.
They both stood up and Bailey kissed him on the cheek and left. Cody stood there feeling his cheek with his hand where she kissed him.
***
Maddie read over the note that Zack gave her. She ate a few chocolates and smiled to herself.
"I hope he realizes he is in way over is head, I can't go out with him." Maddie sighed.
There was a knock on the door and Maddie stood up and opened it.
"Hello." Maddie said, "May I help you."
"Hello, my name is Luis, and I was wanting to inform you that the auditions for the play Just the Two of Us are next week on Monday at seven o'clock." She said.
"Ok, if you haven't told Zack, I can tell him." Maddie said and they said bye and shut the door.
She pulled out her cell phone and text Zack about the auditions.
***
Cody picked Bailey up at six forty five just like they said. They walked down the hallways holding each others hand talking about different interests they like. While they were talking about theatre and plays the passed a sign for auditioning for a play called Just the Two of Us.
"Just the Two of Us, sounds like a play for us doesn't it." Cody said. "The auditions are next Monday. Let's do it."
"Ok, lets try for the leads." Bailey said, they smiled and went on for dinner.
***
Monday showed up and Zack and Maddie came to the theatre director for the play. They knocked on the door of the theatre.
"Come in." Came a voice from inside the room.
"Hello, we came to audition for the play." Zack said.
"Yes, you must be Zack and Maddie, our president of the drama club said you two were brilliant." The director said.
"Yes, I want you to read these lines Zack please with a British accent." She handed him the papers.
"Ok, um… miss…" Zack said.
"Miss Smith." She said.
"Ok." Zack stepped onto the stage and crossed to the center.
He read the paper in his head quickly and then started.
"Rose, I have always felt this way about you, this relationship was meant to be, its destiny. I know that we have some problems but I know it will work out."
Ms. Smith read over the lines of Rose. "But what if he finds out, we would never be able to see each other again. My mother already found out, she is doing everything she can to keep my father from knowing. But she may not be able to get us together for very much longer. My dad is strict and my mother says if he finds out, our family will leave. That's what they did with my older sister."
Zack continued on with his lines. "Your dad won't find out though, listen, your birthday is but twenty two days away. If we can make just passed then, we can be together and your dad won't be able to stop us. By the way, why doesn't your dad want us together anyway?"
Ms. Smith started speaking again, "Twenty two days, it sounds so far away, I'm not sure if we can do it."
"Listen, love will get us through, even if your mother wasn't able to help, even if your father was on the verge of finding us, we could do it on our own, just the two of us."
Ms. Smith looked at him, "Have you ever been in the theatre business before?"
"No." Zack said.
"Well why not, that was amazing, I have never had an actor pass through here that I have directed been so powerful with his speech." She exclaimed.
"So I have the part." Zack said.
"Of course, I mean, the chances of anyone else doing just as good as you did or even better are one in a trillion." Ms. Smith said. "Now Maddie, could you read the lines of Rose for me?"
Zack interrupted, "Excuse me Ms. Smith, what is my characters name?"
"Oh, bless me I forgot to tell you, his name is Freddy." She said.
"Freddy, huh, I never pictured myself as a Freddy." Zack started making fun of his characters name as Ms. Smith and Maddie continued.
"I'll start from with the line Zack started with and you will read Rose's lines." Ms. Smith said.
"Ok." Maddie said.
"Rose, I have always felt this way about you, this relationship was meant to be, its destiny. I know that we have some problems but I know it will work out."
"But what if he finds out… we would never be able to see each other again. My mother already found out, she is doing everything she can to keep my father from knowing. But she may not be able to get us together for very much longer. My dad is strict and my mother says if he finds out, our family will leave. That's what they did with my older sister."
"Now let me stop here Maddie, first, can you speak with a British accent?" Ms. Smith asked.
"Well, sort of, but it might need a little work." Maddie said.
"Fair enough, lets continue."
"Your dad won't find out though, listen, your birthday is but twenty two days away. If we can make just passed then, we can be together and your dad won't be able to stop us. By the way, why doesn't your dad want us together anyway?"
"Twenty two days, it sounds so far away, I'm not sure if we can do it."
"Ok, that was very good Madeline, but the most important things you need to work on is your diction, and your accent. Now to help with your diction, remember this, diction is found on the tip of the tongue of your teeth. Ok, and we can help you with your accent later. It is a very proper accent." Ms. Smith explained.
"Ok, thank you very much Ms. Smith." Maddie said and both she and Zack walked out of the theatre.
***
Cody and Bailey ran into the theatre only five minutes after Zack and Maddie left.
They both said as they ran up to Ms. Smith, "Sorry, we didn't mean to be so late."
"Its ok, we have a lot of people in this play auditioning, you are actually pretty well on time, but don't make a habit of it." Ms. Smith waved them on stage. "What parts are you two auditioning for?"
"The leads." They both said in unison.
"Alright, read these lines in a British accent, Mr. Cody Martin." She handed him the papers.
"Ok," Cody said "Rose, I have always felt this way about you, this relationship was meant to be, its destiny. I know that we have some problems but I know it will work out."
Ms. Smith read over the lines of Rose. "But what if he finds out, we would never be able to see each other again. My mother already found out, she is doing everything she can to keep my father from knowing. But she may not be able to get us together for very much longer. My dad is strict and my mother says if he finds out, our family will leave. That's what they did with my older sister."
Cody continued "Your dad won't find out though, listen, your birthday is but twenty two days away. If we can make just passed then, we can be together and your dad won't be able to stop us. By the way, why doesn't your dad want us together anyway?"
Ms. Smith started speaking again, "Twenty two days, it sounds so far away, I'm not sure if we can do it."
"Listen, love will get us through, even if your mother wasn't able to help, even if your father was on the verge of finding us, we could do it on our own, just the two of us."
"Alright, your good, very good, but you need to work on your accent, and a little bit on your R's, they slur a little. Good job." Ms. Smith took the papers and handed them to Bailey.
"Thank you I am so ready, I love theatre, I already cant wait for the play to come." Bailey said enthusiastically.
"Why thank you for the enthusiasm, now please say your lines." Ms. Smith said.
"Ok," Bailey said.
"And don't forget the accent." She reminded.
Ms. Smith read the lines of Freddy,"Rose, I have always felt this way about you, this relationship was meant to be, its destiny. I know that we have some problems but I know it will work out."
"But what if he finds out, we would never be able to see each other again. My mother already found out, she is doing everything she can to keep my father from knowing. But she may not be able to get us together for very much longer. My dad is strict and my mother says if he finds out, our family will leave. That's what they did with my older sister."
"Your dad won't find out though, listen, your birthday is but twenty two days away. If we can make just passed then, we can be together and your dad won't be able to stop us. By the way, why doesn't your dad want us together anyway?"
Bailey continued, "Twenty two days, it sounds so far away, I'm not sure if we can do it."
"Brilliant accent, good diction, I would like to say that you are one of the best we have had so far. Thanks for coming." Ms. Smith said.
"Bye" they both said and left.
