The Secret II - Chapter 7

Next morning, sun was out. It was so bright. I was in a great mood. When I checked my watch, it was 10 o' clock already. Then I remembered that I went to sleep near 3 o' clock in the morning. When I went downstairs, I had a wonderful breakfast by myself. I liked having a quiet time to myself from all the excitement the night before. That was some night!

Then I went for a walk outside and caught Tyson and Oliver playing tennis, or at least try to play tennis. Oliver was partly teaching Tyson. Then I spotted Kai nearby, and I wondered what he was doing so I went up to him and asked him.

"Nothing." He said.

"Oh." I stopped. There was a silence.

"So, about your little secret." He suggested a topic.

"Oh no, not that again. Please, can't I go through one day not thinking about that?" I asked.

"Fine, fine. But why don't you just at least tell me where you lived before." He asked.

"Before? Like before I met you guys?" I asked.

"Yeah."

"Well, I lived in Philadelphia. But I grew up in Windsor, Canada." I explained.

"You moved around a lot."

"Yeah, I guess you can say that." I smiled. "So, how are things doing with you and Becky?"

"Good."

"So like where did you guys meet?" I asked.

"In Japan. She was visiting there." He explained.

"Oh. That's great."

"But I can't help myself but ask, why did you leave that night?" He asked.

I hesitated, "That night? I had to. I had to move around."

"Had to move around? What do you mean? Afraid to be caught or something?" He asked so many questions.

I didn't want to reveal too much, so I said, "Let's not talk about it. You want to go inside now?"

"Uh. Sure."

After we went inside, Robert was starting to discuss about the new 'plan'. "I'd like you all to stay in town for the next little while. There may be new things happening and this way we can get in touch we all of you very fast."

"Great!" Tyson, Max and Ray all agreed almost instantaneously.

I also went alone with the plan, even though I did not want to.

Next day, I decided to take a stroll through the town. After lunch, while I was walking through the crowd, I heard a loud broadcast, "COME AND TRY OUT FOR THE NEW PLAY!!"

As I tried to get out of the crowd, someone handed me a flyer. I unfolded and read it. 'come and try out for the new play! The famous ROMEO AND JULIET! One of the popular Shakespear work.'

I almost burst out laughing, so I threw out the flyer. Then as the crowd began to disappear, the announcement guy almost screamed at me. "Hey! You there! You look like you could try out for the part! Come tomorrow at noon!"

Then I decided it would be a fun time to spend since I'm here anyways. So I went back to the castle and prepared for the next day.

Soon tomorrow arrived and I waited in line with many other people who were already prepared. When I went in the audition room, there were 3 people. A woman said, "This is Kelly right?"

I nodded.

"Let's see, why don't you read these." She handed me a paper, "This is the part where Juliet's mother, Lady Capulet introduce Paris to Juliet, wanting her to like him."

I took the script and read, "It is an honor that I dream not of."

"Good good. Now the next line, and maybe a little more acting might help."

I looked down at my sheet again and tried my best, "I'll look to like, if looking liking move; But no more deep will I endort mine eye than your consent gives the strength to make it fly."

"Great. Thank you for coming today and we will contact you soon"

With that, I left the room and more people went in. Of course I didn't think I would become Juliet. Also because I was not as old as other people who showed up. Then someone caught my peripheral view, it was Becky, Allison's cousin. I walked over and said, "Hey Becky! What are you doing here?"

"Oh my gosh, hi Kel! Maybe I forgot to tell you last time, but I'm an actress or becoming one. I go wherever there's a play or chance for my big break." She explained.

"Wow, cool." I checked my watch and I knew I had other plans so I said, "Sorry, but I really have to go so I'll see you later then."

"Alright, bye."

Becky is trying out too. Wow, and she must've had more experience than me then. Oh well, it was worth to come here though. Now I won't have a chance to be Juliet.
