AND HERE ARE THE RESULTS! SOME OF YOU VOTED, AND SO DID MY SISTERS! I DIDN'T HAVE TO OVER RULE ANYONE, BUT THERE WERE A FEW TIE-BREAKERS.
The Casts
3:13 PM
It's Wednesday now. All of the actresses and actors had been on edge all weekend and all during school on Monday and Tuesday. Today was the day. They were finally going to find out who got a part.
Tommy sat on the stage looking out at the faces of all the students. Most people weren't speaking. Most looked nervous. There were a few though, that were just happy they had gotten call backs in the first place.
Everyone who was going to be in cast was here. Non-speaking parts and minor parts included.
Mr. Lechner finally walked into the auditorium. All the students fell quiet as he walked up the steps and took his place in front of everyone. "Hello, and welcome back yet again. We are going to announce the parts in just a few minutes. First, I want you to understand the commitment in this. If you get a main part, I expect you here three afternoons a week. If you get a singing part, you need to be at an additional singing rehearsal once a week. It is on Friday nights for about two hours. You need to memorize lines. If you get any other character that speaks, you will need to be here for line rehearsal. If you do not have any lines, then you will need to be here for singing practices and dance rehearsal. About a month before we open, you will need to be here much more often. Sometimes you will be here everyday after school, and there is a day that you will be here during school. If you can not conform to this, you need to leave right now. I will give very little leeway for not being here." No one left. After a minute, Mr. Lechner let himself smile. "Ok. Now, let me introduce our other adult helpers that I mentioned last week. First I would like to introduce Ms. Viktor."
Hayley came out on stage. "Hi guys. You all can call me Hayley. I am getting all of the prop, and I have to get you all costumes. I will also be teaching you all how to put on stage make-up." There was a general groan from all the males in the audience. Hayley smiled. "Alright. I am introducing the next adult, Mr. Matus."
A man with graying hair came out on stage. He smiled, "I'm Mr. Matus. I teach history here. I see a few people I know. I am going to get people to actually come and see you preform. I'm the one who gets to tell you if you have a full house or not. Oh, and the only person left back stage is Ms. Hart."
Tommy almost lost his balance and had to hold onto the stage for support when he saw the woman who came out of the wings. It was her. It really was.
She stood in the middle of the stage. "Hi, I'm Kim. Please don't call me Ms. Hart because it makes me feel old and lonely." Everyone chuckled at her reasoning. "Anyway, I am choreographing the dances and helping a few of you with the songs. I am going to help Hayley with costumes. And I'll be here as a verbal punching bag. Trust me, these plays can be very hard at times." She said in all seriousness.
Kim sat down next to Tommy. She gave him a sad smile. There eyes spoke for them. Tommy's eyes seemed to say, "Wow! You're really here."
Kim's eyes asked to meet after they were done for the day. Tommy's eyes said, "Yes."
Mr. Lechner gave each adult a piece of paper. He was the only one who didn't have one. Each had a few names on it. "Adults. You will be announcing all of the parts. We will start with Mr. Foster and go down the line. Mr. Foster, you can start." He sat down. Mr. Foster stood up and announced:
"The Jets: Cast one

"I want to thank everyone who tried out. If your name was called up here, congratulations, and you need to be here right after school tomorrow. If not, then we'll see you on Friday night."
Everyone broke away and began to talk to one another as they headed home. Tommy turned to Kim. "Do smoothies sound good to you?" He asked raising his eyebrow.
"They sound great!" She laughed.
"Are you laughing at me?" Tommy asked feigning anger.
"Yes."
"Oh, ok."
Kim's back. I'm sure you noticed. How do you think their meeting will go?
Until next time...
TrueRomantic- You are the only one who voted for the person who really played Anybodies in our play...
XRachX- Yep, they got parts. (That was one of the ones I would have had to over rule if they didn't get enough votes.)
Chris- I'll try to make it that good!
Ok- thanks, I couldn't think of names. It was the first thing that came to me.
im-in-love4u- thanks for reviewing Jessie. (Yes, any GH fans need to go read and review her story Love Everlasting. She says that she won't write anymore.)
Sera- Yep, Love my Journey. Kim and Tommy are first on here though. I have a GH story too, somewhere.
Jodi- Love Journey. Boycotting GH until they get back together. Thanks for reviewing. It will be a little while until the show starts.
