After Mr. Gillard assigned the parts of the musical they`re gonna do, he took a deep breath and said "Okay. You guys can complain or say your comments, but you HAVE to raise your hand and not just yell it out. Okay, now tell me" After he said that the entire class literally raised their hands.

He picked Michelle, leader of the Mean Girls (I think that was the name of the popular people. If it isn`t then I`ll just change it to that) first.

This was her complain. She stood up and faced him with her hands on her hips and was chewing gum noticeably. "Mr. Gillard, sir. I know you have amazing taste in picking people for the plays. But why…" She looked at the cast of the play "…them? I mean, I`m an AMAZING actress. You told me yourself, and my acting teacher. My voice teacher said that I was going to a whole NEW level of singing. My dance teacher also told me that I was going to a whole new level of dance."

The mean girls agreed with her.

Mr. Gillard thought about it. "Okay. How about this, after school, you girls" He pointed at the mean girls "and you girls" He pointed at the girls who were supposed to be the cast "are going to sing, dance and act or just recite a quote for me. But, I have to feel the emotion in the quote or poem you`re reading. We need to see who is going to be the main lead in the play. And as for the rest of the class you guys have to be there also. I want to know who you guys think would be perfect for the roles. We all meet at the black box."

He went through everyone`s complaints, and answered all of them.

When he got to Alex, she asked "Can we dance as a group?"

He nodded. "Oh and speaking of groups, you have to sing a song as a group also."

The class ended. This was going to be an interesting afternoon.

~AFTER SCHOOL. AT THE BLACK BOX~

The girls who were auditioning were backstage getting ready. The have to sing, or sing with an instrument. They also have to choreograph a dance, and have to do a monologue that they got from a movie or book they know or just make up one on the spot. Or just recite a poem from a book, or a movie.

Mr. Gillard called out the first to perform. "Michelle, you get to perform first up first."

Michelle went to the stage and cleared her throat.

"I am going to be reciting doing a poem that I got from the internet." She cleared her throat and began

"Love is always mysterious.
You don`t know what or when it will happen.
But it always happened when you least expect it
and with the person you least expected."

Michelle smiled. "I`m going to sing a song called 'Tear Drops on my guitar' By: Taylor Swift. "

She started singing. It was waaaay out of tune.

"Drew looks at me I fake a smile so he won`t see.
What I want what I need
And everything that we should be. I bet she`s beautiful.
that girl he talks about and she`s got everything that I have to live without.
Drew looks at me—"

Mr. Gillard raised his hand and looked at her "Next please. Can you dance?"

Michelle nodded and started dancing to what seems like a baby dance. She did the sprinkler, and the dance where you put one hand behind your head, and the other holding your leg up, and you thrust. (Am I the only one that thinks that sounds wrong? LOL)

Mr. Gillard had enough of her horrible dancing, so he raised his hand for the second time, and fake smiled at her. "We`ll tell you who got the part later. Sit down please."

The rest of the Mean girls were like that. They had an amazing poem, but when it came to the singing and dancing part, they were horrible.

Mr. Gillard called up the next person to perform "Leila Gomez, you are up next."

Leila went on stage and recited a poem from the book/movie "A Walk to Remember"
"Love is always patient and kind.
It is never jealous.
Love us never boastful or conceited.
It is never rude or selfish.
It does not take offence, and it`s not resentful.
Love takes no pleasure in other people`s sins.
But delights in the truth,
It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope,
and to endure whatever comes."

"Um, Mr. Gillard, is it okay, if I only sing the chorus?"
"Yeah, go ahead."

Leila cleared her throat and sang the chorus of the song "Wouldn`t change a thing" By: Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato.
"Like fire and rain (like fire and rain)
you can drive me insane (you can drive me insane),
but I can`t stay mad at you for anything
We`re Venus and Mars, (we`re Venus and Mars),
We`re like different (like different stars)
But you're the harmony to every song I sing,
And I wouldn`t change a thing"

Mr. Gillard smiled at her, then looked at his paper. "Okay, Alex. You are up next."

(A/N: Guys, this part of the story is just poetry and singing. So I recommend you to listen to the song while reading this part of the story. These are some of my all-time favorite songs, and books.)

Alex went on the stage and smiled at her classmates. She motioned for the girls to come onstage with her, and then the girls came out and they danced to the boyz "Kanye West Challenge" from ABDC.

The boyz were shocked that the girls knew the dance moves, and they did it perfectly. Better than they ever did.

After the dance, the girls went offstage and Alex was left alone on the stage. "I am going to be reading an excerpt from my most favorite book/movie of all time 'The Notebook' By Nicholas Sparks". She read the excerpt. But unlike the Mean Girls, she said it with the emotion that Noah was feeling the moment he was writing that letter to Allie.

" The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.
Maybe they are always have been and will be.
Maybe we`ve lived a thousand lives before this one, and in each of them we`ve found each other.
And maybe each time, we`ve been forced apart for the same reasons.
That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come.
When I look at you, I see your beauty and grace and know they have grown stronger with every life you have lived.
And I know I have spent every life before this one searching for you.
Not someone like you, but you, for your soul, and mine must always come together.
And then, for a reason neither of us understands, we`ve been forced to say good-bye.
I would love to tell you that everything will work out for us, and I promise to do all I can to make sure it does.
But if we never meet again and this is truly goodbye, I know we will see each other again in another life.
We will find each other again, and maybe the stars will have changed, and we will not only love each other in that time, but for all the times we`ve had before."

Most of the girls had tears in their eyes. That`s the reason why Alex picked that part of the book. It was something that made her cry. It was true what Noah wrote to Allie, true love never dies; it made her feel like Mr. Right is out there. And she wished it was Chris. Ever since he was her boyfriend, she`s had an amazing time with him. He was so sweet, so charming. He may not be Madison, but he made her feel special, more special than Madison ever made her feel.

"I am going to sing a song called 'Goodbye' by: Miley Cyrus."

She was about to start when she heard the Mean Girls snickering at her in the crowd. She paused, and looked at them.

Michelle looked back at her, and smirked at her "What are you still doing there Jonas? Are you going to sing with that horrible voice of yours, or what? Just because you`re brothers are talented singers, that doesn`t mean that you can actually sing yourself."

Alex smirked back at her "We`ll see about that." She grabbed her, well Nick`s, guitar from backstage and sat on the stool in the middle of the stage and started singing.

" I can honestly say, you`ve been on my mind since I woke up today (up today).
I look at your photograph all the time.
These memories come back to life.
And I don`t mind."

Alex closed her eyes, and let the music move her. She continued.

" I remember when we kissed.
I still feel it on my lips.
The time that you danced with me
with no music playing
I remember those simple things.
I remember till I cry.
But the one thing I wish I`d forget.
A memory I wanna forget.
Is Goodbye…
I woke up this morning and played our song.
And I know my tears would sing along.
I picked up the phone, and then put it down.
`Cause I know I'm wasting my time.
And I don`t mind…"

Alex opened her eyes, and felt her tears threatening to fall, so she closed them again.

" I remember when we kissed.
I still feel it on my lips.
The time that you danced with me
with no music playing
I remember those simple things
I remember till I cry.
But the one thing I wish I`d forget.
A memory I wanna forget…."

She now opened them and tears filled her crystal blue eyes. (I don`t know if Alex`s eyes are blue in this story, but I`ll make it blue)

" Suddenly my cell phone`s blowing up, with your ringtone.
I hesitate but answer it anyway.
You sound so alone.
And I`m surprised to hear you say
Remember when we kissed.
You still feel it on your lips.
The time that you danced with me
with no music playing
you remember those simple things.
We talked till we cried.
You said that your biggest regret was the one thing you wished I'd forget
is saying goodbye, saying goodbye, Ohhh, goodbye."

After the song finished she saw the Mean Girls mouths wide open, so she smirked at them and got up from her stool and walked off the stage

Maria was up next. She recited a poem that she got from the book "Miles to Go" By: Miley Cyrus

"Beauty is the enemy.
We try to conquer not feeling beautiful all our lives.
It`s a battle that can`t be won.
There`s no definition of beauty.
The only way to achieve beauty is to feel it inside.
Without breaking it down into individual physical attributes"

She sang her favorite song "Beautiful You." By: her boyfriend`s sister, the amazing Alessandra Castronovo. She then grabbed a guitar and sat on the stool in front of the mic and started singing
" Trying just to deal with the space you`re in.
Somewhere between, dark and Light it seems.
You wanna fly again.
But your wings feel broken.
Every day you ask 'Why? ...Why? ...Why?'
Why do I feel like the sun wants to set?
Why do I feel like there`s nothing left?"

Maria saw Vinny looking at her, she smiled at him. She always gets emotional in this song. She knew that Al wrote this song for Vinny. She wrote it because she knew that he was getting bullied every day, and he would always come home crying, and she couldn`t do anything about it. Maria knew that the other boyz are getting bullied also. Not all of them, but some. She has gotten so close to them, and it kills her and the other girls knowing that the boyz are getting bullied, the all became like a family, ever since the girls started dating some of the boyz.

" How are you gonna get somewhere.
If you feel like nowhere.
How are you gonna stand up now.
If you feel you`re world`s falling down.
How are you gonna let love in
If you don`t know where it is.
It all starts with you, Beautiful You.
Beautiful You."

She sang the next verse with her eyes locked on Vinny and Alex sitting next to each other, and smiled at their unbreakable friendship. The friendship they had is truly rare. They knew each other for so long, and get separated for a few years, and they find each other again, and they act like they were never apart. They act the same around each other, at least that`s what the other boyz said, they`re still goofing around each other, and being protective.

"Trying just to find, a friend for life
The one who makes you laugh, when you wanna cry.
So don`t. (Don`t, don`t.) Be afraid.
After the storm they`ll be brighter days.
How are you gonna get somewhere
If you feel like you`re nowhere.
How are you gonna stand up now.
If you feel your world`s falling down.
How are you gonna let Love in?
if you don`t know where it is.
It all starts with you. Beautiful You."

She got up for this part. This part was her most favorite.

"You can run from you.
You can hide from you.
One day, you gotta be you.
You can lie to you.
You can take from you.
Shame on you.
Gotta be you.
Stand up, it`s you.
Everything I`ll ever do.
You`re beautiful!
How are you gonna get somewhere.
If you feel like you`re nowhere.
How are you gonna stand up now.
If you feel your world`s falling down.
How are you gonna let Love in?
if you don`t know where it is.
It all starts with you. Beautiful You."

Then Helene went up after her. "I am going to do an excerpt from my favorite book 'Dear John' By: Nicholas Sparks."

" Her knuckles stood out white against her arms. 'Can I write to you?'
I forced myself to not look away, wishing again that the cards had fallen differently for us. 'I`m not so sure that`s a good idea.'
'I don`t understand'
'Yes you do' I said 'You`re married to Tim, not me.'
I let that sink in while gathering my strength for what I wanted to say next. 'He`s a good man Savannah. A better man than me, that`s for sure, and I`m glad you married him. As much as I love you, I`m not willing to break up a marriage for it. And deep down, I don`t think you are, either. Even if you love me, you love him too. It took me a little while to realize that, but I'm sure of it. "

She then sang her favorite song "When You look me in the eyes" By: Jonas Brothers

"The heart is always searching.
Can you ever find a home?
I`ve been looking for that someone I never make it on my own.
Dreams can take the place of loving you.
There`s gotta be a million reasons why it`s true.
When you look me in the eyes,
and tell me that you love me.
Everything is alright.
When you`re right here by my side
When you look e in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.
How long will I be waiting to be with you again?
Gonna tell you that I love you,
In the best way that I can.
I can`t take a day without you here.
You`re the light that makes my darkness disappear.
When you look me in the eyes,
and tell me that you love me.
Everything is alright.
When you`re right here by my side
When you look e in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.
More and more I realize,
I can reach my tomorrow
I can hold my head up high.
It`s all because you`re by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything is alright.
When you`re right here by my side
When you look e in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything is alright.
When you`re right here by my side
When you look e in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes."

Tristen then came next. "I am also going to do an excerpt from 'Dear John.' By Nicholas Sparks."

"'You`re married to Tim, and your husband needs you. All of you. There`s no room for me, we both know there shouldn`t be.'
As more tears started flowing down her face, I felt my own eyes fill up. I leaned in and kissed Savannah gently on the lips, then took her in my arms and held her tight.
'I love you Savannah, and I always will,' I breathed. 'You`re the best thing that`s ever happened to me. You were my best friend and my lover, and I don`t regret a single moment of it. You made me feel alive again, and most of all you gave me my father. I`ll never forget you for that. You`re always going to be the very best part of me. I`m sorry it has to be this way, but I have to leave, and you have to see your husband.'
As I spoke, I could feel her shaking with sobs, and I continued to hold her for a long time afterward. When we finally separated, I knew that it would be the last time I ever held her.
I backed away, my eyes holding Savannah`s.
'I love you, too, John' She said.
'Good-bye' I raised my hand.
And with that. She wiped her face and began walking towards the hospital."

She sang "Enchanted" by: Taylor Swift.

She was looking at Madison most of the time, but made sure it wasn`t noticeable.
She didn`t mind that Alex and Madison were fake dating, it just bothered her that he might leave her for Alex.
Alex made sure that that won`t happened, but things can change, they could change, promises could be broken, and feelings can be changed.

"There I was again tonight,
Facing laughter, faking smiles.
Same old tired, lonely place,
Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes, and vacancy,
Vanished when I saw your face.
All I can say is It was enchanting to meet you.
Your eyes whispered 'Have we met?'
Across the room your silhouette,
starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts,
Counter all your quick remarks,
Like passing notes in secrecy,
It was enchanting to meet you.
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you.
This night is sparking,
don`t you let it go
I`m wonderstruck,
blushing all the way home.
I`ll spend forever wondering if you knew.
I was enchanted to meet you.
The lingering question kept me up.
2 A.M, who do you love?
I wonder till I`m wide awake.
Now I`m pacing back and forth,
Whishing you were at my door,
I`d open up and you would say,
'It was enchanting to meet you.'
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you.
This night is sparkling, don`t you let it go.
I`m wonderstruck,
blushing all the way home,
I'll spend forever
wondering if you knew,
this night is flawless,
Don`t you let it go,
I`m wonderstruck, dancing around all alone.
I'll spend forever,
wondering if you knew,
I was enchanted to meet you.
This is me praying that,
This was the very first age,
Not where the story line ends,
My thoughts will echo your name,
Until I see you again,
These are words I held back,
As I was leaving too soon,
I was enchanted to meet you.
Please don`t be in love with someone else.
Please don`t have somebody waiting on you.
Please don`t be in love with someone else.
Please don`t have somebody waiting on you.
This night is sparkling, don`t you let it go.
I`m wonderstruck,
blushing all the way home,
I'll spend forever
wondering if you knew,
this night is flawless,
Don`t you let it go,
I`m wonderstruck, dancing around all alone.
I'll spend forever,
wondering if you knew,
I was enchanted to meet you.
Please don`t be in love with someone else.
Please don`t have somebody waiting on you."

Lily went up next. "I am going to read "Shakespeare Sonnet 54" (Oh this was a part of Beastly)

"O! how much more doth beauty beauteous seem
By that sweet ornament which truth doth give!
The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem
For that sweet odour, which doth in it live.
The cranker-blooms have full as deep dye
As the perfumed tincture of roses.
Hang on as such thorns, and play as wantonly
When summer`s breath their masked buds disclose:
But, for their virtue only is their show
They live unwoo`d, and unrespected fade:
Die to themselves, Sweet roses do not so;
Of theirs sweet deaths are sweetest odours made;
Ad so of you, beauteous and lovely youths,
When that shall vade. My verse distills you youth."

She sang "Sparks Fly" By: Taylor Swift.

"The way you move is like a full on rainstorm,
And I`m the house of cards.
You`re kind of reckless,
that you should send me running but.
I kinda know that I won`t get far.
And you stood there in front of me just,
Close enough to touch.
Close enough to hope you could see what I was thinking of."

As she was singing this line, she locked eyes with her boyfriend, and smiled at him. It was like she was singing this song to him. She IS singing this song for him.

" Drop everything now,
meet me in the pouring rain.
Kiss me on the sidewalk.
Take away the pain cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.
Get me whenever those green eyes, baby,
As the lights go down.
Give me something that`ll haunt me when you`re not around.
Cause I see sparks fly, whenever you smile."

Nick smiled at her, with that perfect smile of his. And Lily almost melted at the sight of him smiling.

"My mind, forgets to remind me,
You`re a bad idea.
you touch me once, and it`s really something.
You find I`m better than you imagined I would be.
I`m on my guard,
For the rest of the world
But with you,
I know it`s no good.
And I could wait patiently but,
I really wish you could"

Nick raised his eyebrows at her when she sang 'You touch me once and it`s really something' and Lily blushed.

" Drop everything now,
meet me in the pouring rain.
Kiss me on the sidewalk.
Take away the pain cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.
Get me whenever those green eyes, baby,
As the lights go down.
Give me something that`ll haunt me when you`re not around.
Cause I see sparks fly, whenever you smile.
I`ll run my fingers through your hair,
and watch the lights go wild.
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me.
It`s just wrong enough to make it feel right.
And lead me up the staircase,
won`t you whisper soft, and slow,
"I`m captivated by you baby, like a fireworks show.
Drop everything now,
meet me in the pouring rain.
Kiss me on the sidewalk.
Take away the pain cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.
Get me whenever those green eyes, baby,
As the lights go down.
Give me something that`ll haunt me when you`re not around.
Cause I see sparks fly, whenever you smile."

Hannah went up last. She read a heart-warming poem that she found on the internet

"The heart is afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance.
It`s the one who won`t be taken, that never seems to give.
And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live"

She sang "Skyscraper" By: Demi Lovato

"Skies are crying.
I am watching.
Catching tear drops in my hands.
Only silence as its ending, like we never had a chance.
Do you have to, make me feel like.
There`s nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have.
You can break everything I am.
Like I`m made of glass, like I'm made of paper.
Go on and try to tear me down.
I will be rising from the ground like a skyscraper.
Like a skyscraper.
As the smoke clears, I awaken.
And untangle you from me.
Would it make you feel better, to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows are still broken, but I`m standing on my feet.
You can take everything I have.
You can break everything I am.
Like I`m made of glass, like I'm made of paper.
Go on and try to tear me down.
I will be rising from the ground like a skyscraper.
Like a skyscraper.
Go run, run, run!
I'm gonna stay right here.
Watch you disappear (Yeah)
Go run, run, run!
Yeah, it`s a long way down.
But I am closer to the clouds up here.
You can take everything I have.
You can break everything I am.
Like I`m made of glass, like I'm made of paper.
Go on and try to tear me down.
I will be rising from the ground.
Like A skyscraper.
Like A skyscraper.
Like A Skyscraper.
Like A Skyscraper.
Like A Skyscraper."

All of girls went on stage, and smiled at each other, and each grabbed a mic and the intro for "Hit the Lights" by: Selena Gomez started playing.
They sang like the stage is theirs, and dance like they own the world.

Alex:
"It`s the boy you never told 'I like you'
It`s the girl you let get away.
It`s the one you saw that day on the train.
But you freaked out and walked away.
It`s the plane you wanna catch to Vegas.
Things you swear you`ll do before you die.
It`s the city of love, that waits for you.
But you`re too damn scared to fly."

Girls:
"Hit the lights!
Let the music move you.
Lose yourself tonight.
Come Alive.
Let the moment take you.
Lose control tonight.
Hit the lights!
Let the music move you.
Lose yourself tonight.
Come alive
Let the moment take you.
Lose control tonight."

Maria:

"It`s the time that you totally screwed up,
Still you`re trying to get it out your brain.
It`s the fight you had when you didn`t make up.
It`s the past that you`re dying to change.
It`s all the money that you`re saving,
While the good life passes by.
It`s all the dreams that never came true,
Cause you`re too damn scared to try."

Girls:

"Hit the lights.
Let the music move you.
Lose yourself tonight.
Come Alive.
Let the moment take you.
Lose control tonight.
Hit the lights.
Let the moment take you.
Lose control tonight."

Helene:

"It`s a mad, mad world!
Gotta make and escape.
It`s a perfect world,
When you go all the way!
Hit the lights.
Let the music move you.
Lose yourself tonight."

Tristen:

"So let`s go, go, go, go
All the way.
Yeah, let`s go, go, go ,go.
Night and day,
From the floor to the rafters.
People raise your glasses.
We could dance forever!"

Lily:

"Hit the lights!
Let the music move you,
Lose yourself tonight.
Come alive.
Let the moment take you.
Lose control tonight."

Hannah:

"It`s a mad, mad world,
Gotta make an escape.
It`s a perfect world
When you go all the way.
Hit the lights.
Let the music move you.
Lose yourself tonight."

The girls all finished the song, and bowed together as the entire class stood up and clapped and cheered for them.
The friends hugged each other, and smiled and laughed
