Notes: Ok, it's back! I know I could have done a much better job with this
then I did the first time. So, now that my writing has improved, I can
write this better. And I'll try to have bigger parts for all the
characters. I felt so bad that I had neglected some people in the story.
And I'll put romance in here, but less than before. Hopefully I can make
this story more fun.
I don't own any of the characters in this story besides Aqua(my character's new name), Hats, Comedy, John, Andrew, Kyle, Shawn, Matt, Brian and Ant. Mandy's characters, now known as Minkers, belongs to my friend. Hypes technically belongs to me, but she's based off my other best friend. Any of the characters that you didn't recognize from before belong to me basically. I've created a few new characters since then that I'm going to use so they'll have a personality.
Some of the characters I used last time have been lost, due to the fact that I have a new/old computer. In other words, my brother's old computer is my new one. I still have a few though. I need the ones for Jenna and a guy character named Casey. I forget who sent him in now.
I'm thinking of doing this is the characters' points of view, so everyone will have a part where it's through their character's eyes. That way, everyone will have a bigger part and hopefully it'll work better than the first time I wrote this. The first chapter here is in Aqua's POV, just to get into the story. Feel free to send in more ideas and if you didn't have a chance to send in a costume idea for the lock-in the first time, send them to me and I'll add them when I get to that chapter. This first chapter will be kinda short, but it's because it's the intro. Updating might be slow because I have theatre camp from July 5-25, every weekday from 9 to 5:30. We're doing 'Annie' and I have to audition next Monday, but I'm guaranteed a role. We're performing at Bass Hall from the 20-25th.
Aqua's POV
I walked down the hallway to my next class, trying to get through the crowd of people in order to be on time. I was forced to the wall however as people shoved their way through, not giving me a second glance.
A sheet of poster board by my head caught my attention. It was brightly colored with different shapes decorating it. In a blinding pink color it proclaimed 'Try-out for Newsies. Auditions will be every day this week in the theatre from 4 to 5:30. Be prepared to sing.'
When I read it, I suddenly realized how silent the hall had become. The hallway was almost empty of people. I jumped as I heard the warning bell rang. Glancing at the poster one last time, I ran down the hall to my next class, thinking about how cool the play would be this year.
After school, I entered the theatre building. A large crowd stood in front of me. It took me a few seconds to realize that it was the line for getting audition forms. Most of the people were girls, but I noticed about ten guys standing in line. I stood in complete shock for a few seconds before I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Hi," my best friend, Minkers, yelled in my face, "This is so cool! What part do you want?"
"I don't care," I replied excitedly, "I just want to be in it. I love Newsies!"
"And I love Spot," Minkers screamed out, but in the noisy crowd, no one even turned around or seemed to notice it.
"I know," I told her, sighing. She only reminded me every time we watched the movie at my house, "And let me guess, you love Race too." I said this last part sarcastically.
"How did you know," she asked, pretending to be surprised. I rolled my eyes and moved up in line.
It took a little while, but I finally got through the line and filled out my information, grabbing the number they handed me as well as some tape.
"Everyone get on stage," Mrs. Bev, our director yelled out, "We'll start auditions as soon as everyone gets signed in."
After a few minutes, everything was ready to begin. I'd guess that around 100 people were on stage to audition. I knew for a fact that more than half of them wouldn't make cast. That would probably lead to a lot of angry words and tears, just like it did every year.
The auditions went smoothly, well, as smoothly as they could with a theatre full of loud theatre freaks, no offense to them of course. After all, I was one of them.
Several people sang songs or quoted lines from the musical. These included girls like Kate Harrison. She was skinny and had curly, unruly brown hair and hazel eyes. She sang 'High Times, Hard Times' and did an amazing job. A lot of people had to hold their clapping because it wasn't allowed until everyone had gone for the day.
Another girl was Sapphy, who really added a lot of enthusiasm to her audition. She practically jumped out of her seat and ran to the middle of the stage. She did both quotes and sang. Sapphy had straight strawberry- blonde hair that ended at her shoulder blades and big blue eyes, which explained the nickname. She stood at 5 foot 4, slim and petite for her age of 16. She had on a bright smile as she went through her audition. It was obvious that she loved theatre.
One of the other older girls was Trish Williams. She had wavy, black hair that reached her shoulders and almond-shaped brown eyes. She was slightly tanned and stood about 5 foot 4. She sang 'Santa Fe', which was actually pretty good.
The younger girls consisted of Maddie Chandler, who was 12. She had long brown hair with streaks of red and blonde, green eyes and a little chubby. She sang 'Santa Fe' as well and did surprisingly well for her age.
Another of the younger ones was Alex or Spark. She was 13, yet appeared to be 18. She was 5 foot 3 with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. She had tan skin and an average build. She sang part of 'King of New York'. Many more people went the first day before we had to quit.
The next day wasn't as eventful since not as many people had to audition. Some of those to audition were Kaya Pacifici, Lute McDonaghey(Swinger), Michelle Beaufont(Raven), Rebecca Scott(Scribble), Nicola(Accent) and many more. I went on that day as well, singing part of 'KONY', which I could only hope I did well on.
The guys went after the girls all finished the day after, considering it would take about 30 minutes for all the guys to audition. After they were done, all we had to do was wait for the final decision. We would find out who made it on Friday. That meant waiting for Thursday to drag by and then, the results would be in.
