It was a Tuesday at Raven's school and it was still hot as could be. Raven and Chelsea were walking down the hallway, talking about the latest news of the day when a bright yellow poster caught Ravens eye.

"Hey Chels, look at this," Raven said, walking over to the area.

"Win a chance to be in a movie by coming to 2005's WHPZ's casting call. Just audition on May 21st for you're chance to win. Bring a partner, as you will need to improvise from our talented directors instructions. Remember: You gotta be in it to win it!" Chelsea read out loud.

"Wow Chels, a part in a MOVIE! This could be my big break, I mean I've always wanted tom be an actress…"

"I thought you've always wanted to be a fashion designer…"

"Well, yea but…. actress is my second choice. Oh, Chels I have got to start practicing! Hey do you wanna be my partner?" Raven asked, removing a piece of hair that was stuck to her face.

"I dunno Rae, I mean…me? I could really mess it up."

"Yea you're right," Raven said thinking.

Chelsea looked at her with and –hey! - Kind of look.

"Well how bout Eddie…."

"Yea, Eddie's good. I mean ever since I had that vision, I dunno it's just weird to be around him…."

"Hey y'all," Eddie interrupted into their conversation.

"Hey Eddie, wanna be Raven's partner for the casting call?" Chelsea blurted out with a smile.

"Uh, sure I was looking for a partner anyway." He replied.

Raven gave Chelsea and I-told-you –not-to-look and smiled at Eddie, "Great…great…um…. Thanks Eddie."

"No Problem, I'll see you at the auditions then!" Eddie said with a smile and danced off.

"Chels, what am I gonna do?" Raven said turning to face her.

"About what?" Chelsea said cluelessly.

"About Eddie, Chels, he's gonna kiss me sooner or later and now that I'm gonna be around him more…"

"I dunno Rae, lets just see what happens. I mean all I can tell you is just eat a lot of mints."

"Why?"

"Cuz…ya tend to have bad breath…." Chelsea said in a high-pitched voice.

"Wha…. what?"

"Well you don't want Eddie kissing you with bad breath…I mean, once I kissed a guy with bad breath and…. well lets just say…. I told him…"

"You never make any sense to me…"

"Yea…I know…" She responded and they walked off.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Next Day- Casting call.

Raven had on a short fringe skirt that was brown and a white top on to match. Lace covered her self -made outfit from top to bottom, making it flow with the wind.

Chelsea, Raven and Eddie were all standing around the waiting room along with over a hundred other people, all crowded and sweaty….

"I dunno, maybe this isn't such a good idea. Look at all these talented people."

"Don't worry about them Rae, just worry about you." Chelsea said, patting her friend on the arm.

"What If I'm not good enough…"

"Don't second guess yourself Rae…. you're better then all these people. You'll do fine." Eddie said to her, ending with a smile.

Raven smiled back at him, not sure why, for some reason, she felt different.

She shook it off and concentrated on herself, Eddie was right…. she was good.

"Attention! Attention people! Here are the scripts now, they're all the same, so don't worry about trading. One per actor or actress please! Auditions will begin in 5 minutes!" A man, with a large microphone headpiece said.

Everyone rushed to grab a script, including Eddie and Raven. As soon as they picked one up they walked back over to the corner of the room where Chelsea was sitting.

"Let's see there's three scripts…. 2 female characters, one male one female or two males." Eddie said, flipping through the pages.

"I guess we turn to one male, one female!" Raven said, happily opening the script to page 10.

"I dunno Rae…are you sure?" Chelsea said with uncertainty.

The two looked at her and turned their attention back to the script.

"So I guess I'm Liana and you're Jared and I start…." Raven said, looking over the script.

Eddie nodded his head as he read further down.

Raven read on also, but stopped short as a phrase caught her eye. In parentheses on the script it said, "Jared kisses Liana."

Raven looked up at Eddie, who obviously had not gotten to the part yet. She turned around quickly to show Chelsea, pointing secretly to it. Chelsea nodded and smiled as Eddie looked at them as if they were crazy.

"What you guys hiding?"

Raven smiled and looked down at her pile of papers, "Uh, it says we have to kiss."

Eddie looked as her and looked back at his script, "Oh…well. We kinda have to; it's part of the script. I don't mind it I mean, we friends right…." Eddie said, nonchalantly

"Neither do I, It's just I wanted to tell you…" raven said fading off as she watched him.

"RAVEN BAXTER AND EDWARD THOMAS!" A man called entering the room.

"That's us," Eddie said, fixing his t-shirt.

"Good Luck…" Chelsea said, giving Raven a sympathetic look.

"Thanks…" She said as she followed Eddie through the doors. She knew it was going to be a looooooong 15 minutes.
