That Sunday, the gang met up at the community hall and walked in to find a very excited and enthusiastic Harold. "Oh good, you are all here. Lets not waste any time and start off. As only two of you can get the parts, the others are welcome to help out backstage and behind the scenes ok? Nina and Jack can audition first. Here's the script and just read the highlighted lines." He stepped back and waited anxiously for them to start. Nina quickly skimmed the script and blushed when she found out what was coming. She looked up at Jack who looked just as nervous as she did. They quickly went through the lines and then paused at the part they were dreading. They looked into each other's eyes and felt like they were the only people in the room. They both leaned in for the kiss, but just before they could touch, Harold yelled, "Cut! That was great! You two are natural actors! Who wants to be next?" Harold looked at the others, who all had shocked looks on their faces. "Actually, on second thought, I think I'd rather work backstage. I'm not really into the acting thing," said Lori. Michelle and Taj agreed and started nodding frantically. "Oh, that's ok then," replied Harold with a slight look of disappointment on his face, but the smile returned when he glanced at Jack and Nina's direction, "At least we found our actors. You two have the parts! Rehearsals start next week on Wednesday, right here at 5pm. The backstage people are expected to be there as well," he added turning to the others, before collecting all his things and walked out of the hall. Jack and Nina just stood there with stunned faces.
Nina closed the door behind her and let herself fall onto her bed. She didn't know what just happened or how it happened, but she knew that it shouldn't have happened. She had never had these kinds of feelings about anyone else in her life before, and she shouldn't be having these feelings, she thought to herself, especially when he has a girlfriend. She looked over at her keyboard and decided to start writing a new song to take her mind of things.
Jack found himself thinking about her and how he felt in the hall. He had never felt so close to anyone else before, not even Lori and he was confused about this fact. He shouldn't be having these feelings for someone else when he had a girlfriend. These feelings will disappear soon, as long as I ignore them, he thought to himself. He left his room and started for the kitchen when he was called to dinner.
The following few weeks were full of rehearsals for the play, as well as more confusing feelings for both Jack and Nina. The more they found out about each other, the more the feelings grew, but both chose to ignore them. The play was developing on schedule and Harold grew more excited everyday. Several weeks after that fateful audition, Harold decided to call a final rehearsal the day before the play. Jack had just entered the Coffee Shop when Harold called him into the kitchen. "Jack, great you're here! We are having a final rehearsal in half an hour. Could you please go tell and pick up Nina? Thanks, it would mean a lot to me!" he said quickly before dashing off to serve more customers.
Nina sat down at her piano downstairs and stared at the pages of sheet music in front of her. She had just finished her song and is playing it for the first time. The song reflected her feelings and thoughts about Jack. It was all getting too much and she had to get it out of her system the only way she knew how. She started playing the first notes.
Jack looked up at the large Tucker house, took a breath and made his way up the driveway. As he arrived at the front door, beautiful music filled his ears, followed by what he thought was the voice of an angel. He paused for a moment, captivated by the song, and made out some of the words. Will you fall for me, the way I'd like you to, will you fall for me, the way I've fallen for you… Jack then realized that he had been standing there for a while and looked down at his watch. Rehearsal starts in ten minutes. He knocked on the door and heard the music suddenly stop, making him feel a little disappointed. A few seconds later Nina answered the door with a surprised look on her face. "Hey, Harold called a final rehearsal which starts in about ten minutes. We got to go," he said. "Oh, ok, hold on. I've just got to get my stuff," she replied while turning back into the house to retrieve her bag. Soon they were making their way out of her street and to the community hall.
