At the Talent Show
The stage was set up rather weird. The show was on a beach and the stage was set
right in the sand. There were bleacher type things in front of the stage so everyone could
see. Either way, everyone had a great view and it was a great spot to watch the sun set
and the waves crash into the shore.
By the time the girls arrived at the show, there were a bunch of people there. The
whole town and all the tourists in it, must've been there. The girls were already in their
seats and had wished Kalie good luck. They knew she'd do great.
Back Stage
Kalie was starting to get nervous when the show began. All the acts that went on
before her were pretty good. There were other singers, dancers, jugglers, plate spinners, a
bunch of things. As Kalie turned around from peaking out of the curtains to watch a plate
spinner drop 3 plates wither a shatter, she bumped into someone. "Well if it isn't the prom
queen!" said a familiar voice. Kalie looked up to only meet a pair of beautiful brown eyes.
It was then she realized what he said. "Prom queen? yea right! all those girl do is
sleep around and cheerlead. why would I ever want to prom queen?" she said as she
folded her arms.
The guy gave her a goofy grin. "Well if you weren't headed to a dance then where
were you going all dressed up like that? he asked.
Kalie blushed at the question, for she knew she'd have to make up a lie and fast.
"Well you see, um... my friends and I, we um.... got bored! And we um... decided it would
be fun if we um... walked around town in our formals from last years prom!" She was
lying out of her ass.
"Sure sure sure...." said the boy. "Hey what's your name anyways?"
Kalie blushed again. "Kalie. Kalie Thompson," she replied back to the smiling boy.
"What about yours?"
'Well what do ya know?' he thought to himself. 'This lil cutie wants my name!' He
decided to play this one out. "Now why on earth would you want my name??"
"Well, I mean it's only fair that I told you mine, so why can't you tell me yours?"
she said back to him.
"KALIE THOMPSON YOUR NEXT!" someone yelled.
"Looks like you gotta go," said the boy, a little bit disappointed that he didn't get
to play the name thing out for very long. Then he got an idea. Just as Kalie was bout to go
on the stage, the boy pulled her back and whispered, "Lucas. Lucas Edwards," into her ear
and gave her a small soft kiss on her cheek.
Kalie stumbled back and lightly touched where he had kissed her at. She smiled
then walked out on to stage a sang 'Oh Starry Night.' Everyone cheered and clapped for
her. Her 6 friends were the loudest. Kalie smiled a great big smile and walked off stage.
The rest of the competition drug by slowly. After she was done with her song, she
couldn't find Lucas anywhere. Then a voice rang out, "Will all contestants please come to
the stage?" Kalie, along with a bunch of other people came out onto the stage. Kalie didn't
really care if she won or not, she just had fun singing in the show. She was very surprised
to hear her name be called out as winning second place! A piano play/singer won first.
When they called her name all her friend screamed for her.
Just as everyone was screaming and cheering for everyone that won, there was a
sudden large boom and the lights flickered and went out. That was when everyone
panicked, and screamed in terror. Kalie just stood there, numb, on the stage. She knew
what had caused the boom and power to go out. She didn't know where to go or what to
do. Suddenly someone grabbed her arm and pulled her along all through the masses of
people. She didn't know who it was and she could only pray it wasn't one of the three men
from earlier, but she was almost sure that it wasn't because the hand didn't feel very tight
or big around her small wrist.
Pretty soon, she was far away from everyone of a deserted beach wondering who
and where the hell she was. She was also thinking about her friends and praying that they
were ok. He rescuer then let go of her and turned on a flashlight. It was Lucas! Kalie
looked around and saw that they were safe and plopped down in the sand, and held her
head in her hands and asked, "why did you bring me here?"
"Well, you were standing there on stage when the lights went out and I figured
with you being new here and all you wouldn't know where or how to get around in the
dark. So I figured I'd grab your arm and bring you here to wait until all the hustle and
bustle calmed down," explained Lucas.
"Oh, I see," replied Kalie as she laid back. Lucas stared at her for a moment. And
then looked at the ocean. "What do you think caused the power outage?"
He looked back over to the town where you could still hear people. "I'm not real
sure, but it must be bad. Nothing like this ever really happens here. I guess that's why
everyone is so freaked," Lucas said. "Like I said before, we'll just wait it out here until
things calm down."
So they talked for about an hour about the island, where Kalie was from (she felt
really bad for doing a lot of lying to him.) After a good solid hour went by, Lucas decided
it was time to take her back to her hotel.
They walked back arm in arm, when they reached the hotel they were both
reluctant to let go. Granted Lucas had kissed her before, he only did it out of good luck
but he was really starting to develop feelings towards this girl. So they stood outside for a
little bit and didn't say anything. The wind softly blew, and Kalie looked up at him and
broke the silence by saying, "thanks for getting me out of there."
Lucas looked back at her and smiled a little bit. "It was no problem. Anything for a
cute girl like you," he said winking.
Kalie blushed and looked at the ground. "Well I guess maybe I'll see you around,"
she said to him.
"Sure, you will if you go down to the beach. The one where the talent show was
at. I'm almost always there surfing and stuff," he said back to her.
They said a few more good-byes, hugged and went their separate ways. While in
the elevator, Kalie leaned against the wall and wondered how she was going to explain
this to the scouts. She knew that they would be worried. "BING" she was at her floor. She
got out her room key and opened, the door and prepared herself for the worst.
