"So, the new kids seem pretty nice," Michelle says as Summer, Eleni, and
her sit down at their lunch table.
"Yeah, and those boys are very nice looking," Eleni says and turns to summer, "What do you think, Summer?"
"Oh, I barely noticed them," Summer answers.
"Liar," Katie says, laughing, and plops down next to Eleni, along with Tomika and Alicia.
"Really, I didn't," says Summer with a distant look on her face. And that's all she said during lunch.
Zack and Freddy were just having a conversation about their favorite rock band (as usual) until Zoe "accidentally" bumps into Zack.
"Oh! Sorry! I really didn't mean to," she says with a flirty smile on her face. Zack just blushes.
"Um, oh, yeah, er, it's fine." Freddy starts laughing and soon Zoe does, too.
"I'll go get us a seat," Freddy says between laughs and walks away.
"So, I'm guessing you're from Horace Green, right?" Zoe asks as she grabs a pudding.
"Yeah, Stanley Grey for you?"
"Yep... um so what's this I hear about a band?"
This eases Zack up a bit. "You mean School of Rock?" Zoe nods, "Yeah, it's a long story, but to put it simply Mr. Finn subbed for us last year and he let us start a band. Kinda a class project."
"Cool, so what do you play?"
"Guitar. Do you do anything that has to do with music?"
"No, but I could always learn." she said and left with a wink.
The last class of the day was music, where the H.G. kids are most surprised.
"Alright, so this year for music, we're doing a musical," Mrs. Schneebly started, "Yes, a musical. And I DON'T want to hear any whining!"
Alicia raised her hand.
"Well, I'm sure you remember last year that we had a rock band, so do you think we could put some rock into the musical?" she asked.
"I guess. I was actually thinking about doing a rock theme anyway, but how would we incorporate that into the story?" Mrs. S asked the class.
"What's the story, anyway?" Freddy wondered aloud.
Mrs. S smiled, "Robbie and Julie," she answered.
"What?!" the class exclaimed all at once.
"It's like Romeo and Juliet, but this time the Romeo and Juliet don't want to be together, but are forced to by their parents," she replied.
"Oh. So, let me get this straight: we're doing the opposite of Romeo and Juliet, and also trying to use rock with it? Wow..." Katie said.
The class was still confused, but they kind of got it as Mrs. S explained the plot and characters.
"Um, how will you choose the parts?" asked Tomika.
"I was going to do that right now. Since this is a musical, to try out for the bigger parts you'll need a voice," stated Mrs. S.
"Guess I'm not going for the part of the mom or Julie," Eleni sighed.
"Same here," Michelle agreed.
They all lined up into two rows, boys and girls. The more confident girls (Tomika, Alicia, Marta, and Ashley) were up front, and the American- Idol-Reject types were in the back (Summer, Zoe, Emma, and Michelle).
Tomika had gone, and was pretty proud of herself (after all, she had gotten the lead singer in School of Rock) but then Ashley went.
Ashley Winston, was a total powerhouse! Everyone applauded her after she ended, especially the Barbies.
After everyone went, Mrs. S already had her cast.
"Julie's mom, Anna, will be played by Katie."
"Julie's dad, John, is going to be Freddy."
"Robbie's parents will be Marta and Chad."
"Dr. Dana will be Tomika."
"Brenda, Robbie's real girlfriend will be Zoe."
"Ricky, Julie's wannabe boy is played by Danny."
"Julie's friends will be Michelle as Camille and Emma as Jane."
"Robbie's crew are Luke played by Lawrence and Graham played by Frankie."
"Angel, the new girl is going to be Alicia."
"Starr, the waitress, is going to be Summer."
"And of course, Julie is Ashley and Robbie is Zack." she finished and everyone started talking about their parts.
"Oh I KNEW you'd get it," Emma told Ashley.
"I knew I would to," Ashley said looking over near Tomika.
"Dr. Dana... what good is that?" Tomika asked Katie.
"Maybe she has some solo or whatever," answered Katie.
"Yeah, maybe," said Tomika, not so enthusiastic.
"Alright, class is over, see you all tomorrow to get the lines," Mrs. S told everyone as they walked out.
"Lead, man! That's great!" exclaimed Freddy to Zack.
"Yeah, really. But I don't know about that Ashley girl. I was hoping that Julie would be played by-" Zack started, but then stopped because Freddy interrupted him.
"Zoe! Zoe! I knew it! Aah man, I could totally tell today when she chatted ya up," Freddy said smiling.
"Yeah, Zoe. Totally." Zack replied, and that was that.
"Yeah, and those boys are very nice looking," Eleni says and turns to summer, "What do you think, Summer?"
"Oh, I barely noticed them," Summer answers.
"Liar," Katie says, laughing, and plops down next to Eleni, along with Tomika and Alicia.
