CHAPTER 6
School's back and so are a few known personalities in Ren and Louis' school. Tom, Twitty and Louis are in grade 8 while Ren's on her 9th. Since Tawny is going to the same school the siblings go to, she has the almost the same schedule with Louis so they end up being together, most of the time. Ren was still the school's assistant principal and Principal Wexler still had the hardest time disciplining her goofball brother. Coach Tugnut still was training Donnie and kept some of his gruesome tryouts, practical tests and dodge ball games going on. Everything was pretty much the same for Louis and Ren, except for the fact that Louis was practically bombarded by different guys who want to court Tawny and that Ren has fallen in love with Bobby Deaver.
One particular day, Ren announced on the P.A. that the school will be having a play directed by Ren herself. It was her own rendition of the movie Moulin Rouge. She made it for theater than for the big screen.
"The school play will be holding auditions for the characters. For those who are interested, you can sign up by the bulletin board near the cafeteria. Auditions will start tomorrow, after dismissal time."
As Ren was announcing this, Twitty, Tawny and Louis were walking down the corridor. Tawny stooped b her locker while they listened. After the said announcement, Louis said to Tawny,
"Hey, Tawn. Why don't you try-out for this play Ren's talking about?"
As Tawny got her books, she replied,
"I don't know. I don't think I'm good enough."
"What do you mean you're not good enough?! You made Tugnut believe that you were allergic to the sun when you jus didn't want to burn your skin," Louis said.
"Yup! That was priceless," Twitty added with a nod.
Tawny giggled as she closed her locker. Then she turned to the two.
"You know what, I did make him believe, right?! Ok, I'm gonna do this," she said with a proud smile.
On the day of the try-outs, Ren had chosen a few advisers to help her in deciding who fits well for the supposed characters. One was Principal Wexler, the other was her Literature teacher, Ms. Crook and last was Coach Tugnut, who is the theater adviser for this play.
"Tawny Dean," Ren cried out.
Tawny stood before the judges and the crowd. Louis, Twitty and Tom were behind Coach Tugnut, giving their moral support.
"Ok, Tawny. Star whenever you're ready," Ren said.
Tawny took a deep breath and finally started her piece. Everyone was obviously moved and did pay attention. She took a slight bow after,
"Wow! That was just so good," Ren croaked as she swiftly wiped a tear from her eye.
Tawny went up to her friends who were so proud of her.
"Tawny that was amazing," Tom complimented as he clapped his hands.
"Yeah! You were so awesome," Twitty added. "You're definitely in for the lead role.
Tawny gave a shy smile and replied,
"Thanks guys!"
"What can you say, Lou," Twitty asked.
Louis looked at Tawny and answered,
"You were great! You're... amazing," Louis exclaimed in reply.
She gave a wide smile and thanked Louis.
Three days after the auditions, Ren posted the final casting. Most of the students came by the bulletin, even the ones who are just curious and didn't even audition for any role. Louis and Tawny headed the board near the cafeteria to check if she got in. There was a crowd of students looking at the list and it was hard enough to squeeze in. However, Louis was able to help Tawny push her inside.
"Oh my God," Tawny cried out from the inside, seconds after she got in.
"Tawny?" Louis cried out, worriedly.
"Oh my God, Louis," she exclaimed.
"Are you ok," he asked.
"Tawny stretched out her arm, "Louis, a little help here please!"
Louis grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the swarm of students. As Tawny pushed herself outside and saw Louis, she cried out,
"I got it Louis, I got it!"
"You got it? You got it," Louis asked, excitedly as Tawny was freed from the crowd.
Tawny breathed deep and nodded.
Louis got excited and proclaimed to everyone, "She got it, ladies and gentlemen. She got it!"
A few people looked and laughed as they saw the two, happily hopping together in joy. Tawny hugged Louis with much excitement. After she and Louis had let go of each other, he slipped from a banana skin and fell on his back. He fainted and the next thing he knew, he was in the school clinic...
