I ROLLED MY EYES. "WELL, RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO BE AN OFFICE AID AND HELPED THE JANATORIAL STAFF AFTER SCHOOL."

CHRIS LAUGHED. "OH BUDDY THAT SUCKS MAJORLY."

I NODDED. "TELL ME ABOUT IT!"

HOPE POV

I WALKED BY JORDAN AS HE WAS TELLING WHAT HIS PUNISHMENT WAS. I GOT AN IDEA SO I WENT AND SAW THE PRINICPLE. GOD HAD JUST OPENED A DOOR FOR ME.

JORDAN POV

I WAS BACK IN THE PRINCIPLE'S OFFICE. HE HAD SAID HE HAD ONE MORE PUNISHMENT FOR ME. "JORDAN, THE LAST OF YOUR PUNISHMENT IS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE ON THE CREW FOR THE TALENT SHOW THE DRAMA DEPARTMENT IS HOLDING."

I JUST STARED AT HIM. "WHAT?"

"IT WILL GIVE YOU CHANCE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE."

I WAS GETTING VERY UPSET. "IS THAT ALL?"

"YES. PRATICE STARTS TODAY."

I GOT MY BAG AND WALKED OUT. I DIDN'T TALK TO GOD MUCH, BUT I LOOKED UP TOWARDS HEAVEN. "ANY MORE PUNISHMENT FOR ME?"

LANDON POV

MY PHONE RANG AND I PICKED IT UP. "HELLO?"

"HEY DADDY, IT'S ME."

I SMILED. "HEY SWEETIE. WHAT'S GOING ON?"

"NOTHING REALLY, I WAS JUST GOING TO TELL YOU I HAVE PRATICE TODAY. I'LL GET A RIDE HOME AFTER WE ARE DONE. IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE TILL LIKE FIVE."

"OK HONEY. IF I'M NOT HOME, COULD YOU GO AHEAD AND MAKE DINNER?"

"SURE DADDY. I'LL SEE YOU LATER. I LOVE YOU."

"LOVE YA TOO. BYE HOPE."

JORDAN POV

I WALKED INTO THE AUDOTORIUM. I FOUND MRS. SUMMERS AND WENT OVER TO HER. "HI MRS. SUMMERS. I'M HERE TO WORKON CREW."

SHE SMILED AND CLAPPED HER HANDS. "OH YES. PRINCIPLE MATTHEWS TOLD ME YOU WERE GOING TO HELP US." I JUST SLIGHTLY SMILED AND TOOK A SEAT. MRS. SUMMERS WENT IN FRONT OF THE GROUP. "I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT THE ONES OF YOU SHOWING YOUR TALENTS AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WORKING ON CREW. I'M GOING TO CALL OUT THE NAMES OF YOU WHO SIGNED UP. CHRISTIAN STEVENS?"

"HERE." ****TWENTY NAMES LATER***

"AND OF COURSE HOPE CARTER."

"I'M HERE MRS. SUMMERS."

I LOOKED UP FRONT AND SAW HOPE IN THE FRONT ROW. "SURPRISE, SURPRISE," I THOUGHT TO MYSELF.

"NOW HOPE, WILL YOU BE GRACING US WITH YOUR VOICE?"

HOPE LOWERED HER HEAD. "YES I WILL BE SINGING."

PRATICE ENDED AND I SAW JORDAN LEAVING. I RAN UP TO HIM. "UM, JORDAN?"

HE TURNED AROUND. "YEAH?"
