Chapter I

Sarah-Charlotte was talking to a couple of her friends in the lobby of the school when she heard the director whistle to alert them to enter the auditorium immediately. She quickly sat down in a row with two unoccupied seats. She put down her purse and began to take her coat off, not realizing that someone had taken the remaining seat next to her. Mr. Vadden started his speech.

"As you all know, it is time for the fall production to begin, and what better way to do it than with Les Mis! I figure that tonight I can go over the synopsis with all of you and then listen to some of the music." He started to explain what the musical was about and what the characters were like. "..Marius then falls deeply in love with Cosette.." he said.

Sarah-Charlotte felt a hand on her arm. "Looks like me and you will be spending a lot of time together." It was Jack McGregor. Yes, they were somewhat friends. They had known each other through the shows, but Sarah-Charlotte, without making it known to anyone, wished that they were much more than friends. "Hey Jack!" Sarah whispered excitedly as she hugged his shoulder, feeling his warmth. "I'm glad I get to work with you up there, instead of someone I don't really know," Jack said. "Me too, I can't wait." She hoped she hadn't sounded too excited. "Of course, I'll have Gwyneth all over me the whole time," Jack said in his sarcastic, megalomaniacle manner, referring to Gwyneth Preston's character, Eponine, who was in love with Marius.

Sarah-Charlotte gave a short-lived laugh as she remembered that she would not be the only one spending a lot of time with Jack. Gwyneth Preston was not a girl whom she got along with. They used to be best friends in grade school, but then high school started and that was all over. Gwyneth had a good voice, gorgeous looks, and good grades-the whole package. Sarah-Charlotte was an average looking girl (though her parents always told her she was beautiful), a pretty good voice and semi-good grades. There was always that feeling of jealousy when Sarah found out that she was just another chorus member. There was always that feeling of jealousy when Sarah found out that she was just another chorus member and that Gwyneth Preston was a lead-again. But now she felt almost equal.
