Chapter 2: Tryouts
A/N: Okay, let me get one thing straight. I haven't read the real Romeo and Juliet, so I only know a little of the story. I'm going to make up parts and lines, so please don't give me reviews saying that the lines are wrong. I DON'T OWN LIZZIE MCGUIRE! Ciao! ~PersonY2K
Lizzie's POV
(Next day at lunch, outside)
"I'm so going to be Juliet!" Kate exclaimed loudly from her cheerleader table. "And Ethan's going to be Romeo. How perfect."
"You know, she's partly right." I said.
Miranda looked at me as if I had lost my mind. "What did you just say?"
"Ethan is going to be Romeo." I paused. "But I'm going to be Juliet, not Kate." I said, stuffing peaches into my mouth.
"No, I'm going to be Romeo and y..." He stopped. "I mean, and Parker's going to be Juliet." Gordo said, emphasizing the word Parker.
"Oh, really? We'll see about that." I smiled.
Briiiiiiiing!
Animated Lizzie: Oh no! I'll be late for tryouts.
"Uh, Lizzie, Miranda, we better get to drama class before we're late." Gordo said. Animated Lizzie: My thoughts exactly.
We started walking up the stairs and headed toward our lockers. "Hey Miranda, what part are you trying out for?" I asked all of a sudden.
"Juliet's mother."
"Oh, it'll be a pleasure having you as a mother, Miranda." I joked.
"No, it'll be a pleasure to Parker." Gordo said.
"Or I might work backstage, with lights or something. I don't know." Miranda said as we slipped into class. "Whatever, you guys."
"Okay, now. Today we're having tryouts for the play. Juliets, please come up." Mr Digg announced.
I got up and went in line with three other girls. Parker, Kate, and a girl named Julissa.
"Sorry we couldn't get the stage today. Now, read the highlighted line." Mr. Digg passed out our scripts.
"And... go!"
Kate stepped up. "Ethan, Ethan, where for art thou Ethan?" She said a little too dramatically.
"What?" Ethan asked, snapping to attention.
The class started giggling.
Animated Lizzie: He's so cute!
"Er... thank you, Kate. You may sit down. Julissa Clarkson, you're up." Mr. Digg said from behind his desk.
Julissa took a deep breath. "Romeo, Romeo, where-" She bit her lip and sat down before she finished.
Ooh, I had a good chance of getting the part now!
"Lizzie McGuire." He said, looking bored.
I closed my eyes and recited. "Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo?" I recited perfectly, with emotion.
Animated Lizzie: I never knew I was the actress type. Cool!
Miranda's mouth dropped open. "Whoa." She whispered to Gordo.
"I know." He said back.
"Miss McGuire, you can sit down." Mr. Digg said, clearly impressed. "Parker McKenzie, you're next."
"Romeo, Romeo, art... where for art thou..." She got lost for a second and glanced at the paper in her hand. "...Romeo."
Whoa, I thought. She has real talent. If she hadn't stumbled, she might have gotten the part.
"Now, will the Romeos come up?"
Gordo and Ethan were the only ones standing. Mr. Digg handed them scripts.
"Mr. Craft? You first."
Ethan didn't budge.
Animated Lizzie: Don't blow it! Please!
"Um, what am I supposed to say?" He asked. "Oh, yeah. Dude, you better get out of my way or I'll stab you with my sword!"
Animated Lizzie: Nooooooooo!
"Never mind." Mr. Digg sighed. "Ethan, you can take your seat. You too, Mr. Gordon."
"But-Mr. Digg, I didn't say anything." Gordo insisted.
Mr. Digg ignored him and went on.
By the time class was over, I was shaking with excitement.
"At nine o'clock tomorrow, the cast will be posted outside this room. Class dismissed."
Animated Lizzie: Tomorrow! I can't wait that long!
