It was now Monday and the drama club meeting had just started in the school theater." Ok everyone here we are!" Aurora said smiling," Auditions will begin with Belle."
Belle walked up on stage very nervous, but less nervous than she'd though she be. She was growing closer to these people whether she liked it or not." Hi. I'm auditioning for the bar maid."
Aurora nodded," Well just for fun and the irony of it now about you just read Belle's lines." Aurora said and looked to the other members," As a matter of fact," Nick go up there and be the beast. Start here." She said showing them the place in the script," Start here. Action!"
Nick read his first line," Aaargh that hurts!"
"Well if you would be still it wouldn't hurt as much!" Belle said obviously nervous, but Aurora saw great potential.
"Well if you hadn't run away this wouldn't have happened," Nick replied.
"Well if you hadn't frightened me I wouldn't have run away!" Belle said and her nervousness shifted to joy. She felt comfortable with Nick as her partner.
"Well you shouldn't have been in the west wing!" Nick said finding the same enthusiasm Belle found. Aurora watched amazed by their chemistry and scribbled notes in her notebook.
"Well you should learn to control your temper!" Belle said and then the room went silent." Now this might sting a little. By the way thank you for saving my life."
Nick smiled," You're welcome."
Aurora bolted up," Thats enough. That was amazing! Bravo!" She said and clapped a little," Next up is David and Mary Margaret."
Belle and Nick walked off stage and sat back in the audience. Nick smiled at Belle," You did amazing up there!"
She blushed," Thank you, but I was only that good because your incredible at acting."
Nick smiled then remembered something. He frantically looked through his book bag and pulled out a book," Here you go." He handed it to Belle.
Her face lit up," Thank you so much!" She said and hugged him." I would've been heartbroken if I'd lost this!" She smiled. He really was a nice guy, and she wanted to give him a chance. She knew that he was being a gentlmen and trying not to come on to strong so she decided to make the first move." Hey Nick?"
He looked over at her and smiled," Yes Belle?"
"Um My friend Ariel is going on a date with someone she likes," Belke began," And she's really nervous about it, so she asked me or Ruby to go on a double date with her. Ruby said she couldn't so would you..." She paused nervously becaised she'd never asked a guys out.
However Nick blurted out," Yes. I mean um yeah sure! Sounds fun."
Belle giggled," Great! I'll text you the details! I can't wait."
"Neither can I," Nick said happily. He was finally going on a date with the girl he'd liked for almost a year.

Belle looked at the paper and walked over to Aurora," There must be a mistake I can't play Belle? I can handle that big of a role. Can't you do it you're a great actress?"
Aurora smiled," Thank you Belle, and I really think you should do it. When you were up there and you finally let loose you were great. You had something up there that even I couldn't have. You were meant for this part."
Belle nodded still nervous about the part," Ok I'll try."
Later that day at lunch Belle went through the lunch line and got a hamburger and a bottle of Snapple. She went and sat down with Ariel and Ruby at their usual table. When arrived she heard Ruby say," Ariel I'm sorry but Graham and Victor both said no."
Belle at down and smile," No worries Ariel, because I have a date!"
Ruby and Ariel looked at each other and smile then looked back at Belle," Did you finally say yes to get back together with Will Scarlet?"
Belle shook her head," Will and I are done Ruby. He's sweet and all, but he still has feelings for Anastasia. But anyway I ask Nick to go with me."
"Certainly you mean Nick Jonas," Ruby said worried it was Nick Gold.
Belle rolled her eyes," No I am not dating a member of a boy band, ever. I'm talking about Nick Gold and you know it."
Ariel shook her head," You don't have to go out with him just for me."
"I didn't," Bell said," I actually asked him and I think I'm starting to like him. What's wrong with that?"
"He's a bad guy! He's a monster and that's how he is now imagine what he will be like when he's an adult. I know he's a junior, but he could still get worse," Ruby said not wanting to see her best friends get hurt," Belle I've made out with almost every guy in school."
"We know," Ariel said and giggled a bit.
Ruby glared at Ariel then looked back at Belle," As I was saying. I've made out with almost every guy, I will never even give him the time of day."
" Well I'm going to give him a chance." Belle said then out of nowhere Nick came and sat down at their table next to Belle. Ariel and Ruby's eyes widened and they looked at him as if he were the plague.
"Hey Belle," Nick smiled.
Belle smiled back," Hey Nick. These are my friends Ariel and Ruby."
Nick smiled and waved at them," Nice to meet you."
"Hi." Ariel said softly. Ruby waved halfheartedly smiling slightly.
Nick turned to Belle," Hey would you maybe want to meet up after school today and run through our lines."
Belle smiled," I'd love too. You can come at my house at 4 o clock." She said knowing her friends were powerless to stop her.
"Great! See you then. Sorry if I interrupted your conversation." Nick said and left the table.
Belle laughed a bit," See guys. No one decides who I date but me."
Ruby frowned a bit then told Belle," Just don't do drugs and don't have sex."
"I'm leaving now," Belle said and grabbed her things and was going to spend the second half of lunch time in the library like she usually did.
