The Next Day...Friday...
"Attention students!", Mrs. Knickerbocker said on the intercom, "I have a very important announcment to make. It seems that this play is going to be big. And I mean big. So you are going to skip part of school to audition and things for the play. Now please go in an ORDERLY FASION to the auditiorium, please, thank you". Of course...no one listened.
"Oh my gosh, we're skipping a whole day of school, which isn't even possible, just for your play!", Taranee exclaimed. "Yeah, thank you Hay Lin!", Irma laughed. "Hey speaking of the play, where's Cornelia?", Will asked. "She went to go get Caleb and take her here. She volunteered...and imagine what would've happened if we said no to her", Hay Lin giggled. "Hey, there they are!", Taranee said. Caleb and Cornelia were walking together, laughing and talking. "So, it's true that we're skipping school?", Cornelia asked the girls, as she and Caleb walked with them. "Well, most of school time", Taranee said.
When the children entered the auditorium, Mrs. Knickerbocker was already on stage. "Children! Take a seat please!", she said in the microphone. The children all sat down. "Can I please have Hay Lin come up here", Mrs. Knickerbocker said. Hay Lin stood up and walked up the stage. Everyone started cheering. Hay Lin smiled wide, "Thank you, thank you", she said on the microphone.
"Ok well, um, everybody has to participate, so whoever didn't get the part, or isn't doing anything, has to dance or sing, or be props or...backstage", Hay Lin started. "Yo, who's Berny?",a boy cried out. "Oh that's right!", Hay Lin said. "As you know, Cornelia Hale is our Rose", Hay Lin pointed at Cornelia to come up front. Everyone also cheered as she went up the stage next to Hay Lin. "And Berny is going to be played by my...cousin, his name is Caleb, come on up Caleb!", Hay Lin said. Even though nobody knew him, they also cheered, especially the girls (you all should know why, wink wink). He stood next to Cornelia.
"Ok, so now, we're going to be auditioning for...the queen of France, this is going to be Bernardo's mom", Hay Lin said. Two girls came up and huddled near Caleb. Cornelia got a little mad and sorta pushed them to the center, I made up an excuse..., Cornelia thought. "Hmmm, ok, this is how I'm gonna judge", Hay Lin started. Mrs. Knickerbocker brought two chairs, one for her and for Hay Lin, Cornelia and Caleb sat on the floor (they were better off sitting in the crowd). "Say this line to Caleb, whoever sounds more mother-like will take the part", Hay Lin gave the two girls a piece of paper.
"Danielle LaMar, you can go first, Caleb stand up", Hay Lin said. Caleb stood up in his place. "Good morning...sweetie", the girl got flushed saying that to the cutest boy she'd ever seen (well he is, even though he's a cartoon, you have to admit). Caleb looked at Hay Lin. "Ok...next we have our very own, Will Vandom!" Hay Lin exclaimed.Will went to the center stage and smiled nervously at the people cheering. Will cleared her throat, "Why good morning, my princy-poo!", Will patted his cheek. Everyone started laughing. "Will is deffinetley mother material!", Mrs. Knickerbocker laughed. "Will it is!", Hay Lin said, writing her name down. "Thank you for funny nick-names, mom!", Will yelled. She went to take her seat.
"Now we have...the king of France, Bernardo's dad", Hay Lin announced. One boy got up and went up the stage. "Matt!", Will said in happyness and shock. "Hey, look you're married!", Irma teased. "Well, since no one else is auditioning, you get the part Matt, as Caleb's dad, king, and husband of Will", Hay Lin said. Everyone started to "Wooo!" at them. They both lushed, as Matt took his seat.
(I'm gonna skip the part where it auditions the king and queen of Spain, if you're wondering, it's
Queen: Veronica Hudson (character I made up)
King: Carlos Mendiola (character I made up)
Actually, I'm just gonna skip the rest and put it where the children see in the bulliten board who gets what part, ok? sorry too much to write
The next day, everyone huddled around the bulliten board:
Rose: Cornelia Hale
Queen of Europe: Veronica Hudson

Cook: Martin
Bernardo: Caleb
Queen of France: Will Vandom
King of France: Matt Olsen

- Thanx for ur participation! Hay Lin
"Yes! I got my part!", Irma screamed in joy. "Um, you already knew that you got your part", Taranee pointed out. "I know, but it's still fun to be reminded, yes!", Irma laughed. "And we're having rehersal soon, you know that right, and I bet Cornelia can't wait for her big moment with Caleb", Hay Lin grinned at Cornelia. "I never said anything", Cornelia said. "But you were thinking it, and you have to practice with him on your free time too...especially the kissing scene", Hay Lin giggled. "Oh my gosh! You're right, cause we're the main characters", Cornelia blushed a little. "Yeah, I'm gonna go tell Caleb", Hay Lin said.
Oh my gosh, Hay Lin is right! I don't know how I'm going to be able to actually kiss Caleb. I know that I like him, but I don't know if he likes me, or that he's ok with it...I have to find out somehow,Cornelia thought as she walked home. She opened the door and went into her room. She flopped on her bed and took out the script. Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up, "Hello?", Cornelia answered. "Hi, it's Hay Lin. Hey, Caleb is here, and he wants you to come over", Hay Lin said. "Hay Lin! I didn't say anything!", Caleb screamed at her. "Caleb, hehe, what a joker, anyway, it's not only Caleb, it's the girls too, we're gonna practice", Hay Lin said. "Hay Lin, the play is in like...weeks from now", Cornelia said. "Yeah, but we need to totally be prepared", Hay Lin answered. "Ok, I'll go right now", Cornelia said. "Yeah, the girls just arrived. See ya then!", Hay Lin hung up, as well as Cornelia.
She closed her eyes for a while and then got up. She told her mom she was going over to Hay Lin's with the girls and left. When she got there, everyone was already rehearsing. "Did you guys start without me?", Cornelia asked playfully. "You're not in the part yet", Will said. So Cornelia watched as they rehearsed, and Cornelia had to do the parts that were played by other people.
After a few minutes, it was time for one of the most major parts of the play...the kiss. "Bernardo, will I ever see you again?", Cornelia said dramatically. "Even though my parent's don't allow me to see you again, I shall not listen. For you are my sun, my moon, my air, and my life. I promise that nothing will ever seperate us", Caleb finished. The two looked at each other, and then at the girls. "Well? Come on, do it!", Irma giggled with the rest. Caleb and Cornelia crossed their arms. "Fine ok, ok, we won't look. Turn around, guys", Will said as they turned around. Cornelia turned to Caleb.
Both of them looked into each other's eyes. They both leaned closer and closer until, their lips touched. But wait a minute, Cornelia thought, this doesn't feel like a pretend kiss to me...it feels...real. Caleb was thinking the same thing, but they both didn't hold back. After a few more seconds they finally stopped. "Aaawww!", everyone said. They turned to the girls who were all with googly eyes. "Hey! I thought you said you would turn around", Caleb said. "Do you actually think we would miss this? Ha! As if", Irma laughed. "Oh my goodness, it's already getting late, I have to go home", Will said looking at her watch. "Yeah, come on lets go, bye Hay Lin", Taranee said. Hay Lin waved good-bye and entered her house.
Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Caleb walked down the side walk until they had to go their seperate ways. "Bye Cornelia, bye Caleb, see you guys tomorrow", Taranee said, as Will and Taranee turned the other way. Cornelia and Caleb walked in silence, but not for long. "Hey Caleb?", Cornelia asked. Caleb looked at her. "Back there...when we kissed...was that a pretend I'm-just-acting kiss, or was it a real kiss", Cornelia asked quietly and looking at the ground. Caleb and Cornelia stopped and looked at each other. "That...was a real kiss", Caleb responded after a few seconds. Cornelia's eyes grew bigger and brighter. Caleb smiled at her sweetly and hugged her, Cornelia willingly returned the hug.
It felt like years that they were in each other's arms. "Well, we better get you home, before your parents get mad", Caleb said, regretting breaking their embrace. "Yeah", Cornelia laughed. They walked side-by-side, Caleb got hold of her hand; their fingers laced together. When they finally got to Cornelia's apartment they looked at each other again. "Bernardo, will I ever see you again?", Cornelia said smiling big. "Of course, Rose,for you are my sun, my moon, my air, and my life. I promise that nothing will ever seperate us", Caleb smiled with her. They hugged once more and Cornelia opened the door. "Oh, and Cornelia", Caleb said. Cornelia looked back. "I know I never mentioned it but...I love you, and what Hay Lin wrote is true". Cornelia blew him a kiss, "I'll love you forever, too". She waved good-bye and left inside.
Caleb smiled wide and walked back, And I thought Earth school's were bad, he thought, as he walked happily down the side walk, until they meet again.
