Auditions

I woke up the next day. I did my morning routines. I went down the stairs, wearing a cute green skirt with a pink tank top. I ate my breakfast, and went back upstairs to get my stuff. I said bye to my parents, patted Cone on his head a few times, and walked out the door. I met Zach at his house, which I found out was on the way to the bus stop, and we walked down there together.

"So, what are you going to do about this Lash thing?"

"Ignore it."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean, why not ignore it? I don't like him back, so it shouldn't bother me."

"Okay." We got on the bus, and went to Sky High. I went through the whole day, avoiding Lash, except in gym, when I had to play Save the Citizen against him in James. I was in Mr. Medulla's class, staring at the clock. 1:59, 1:59, 1:59, 2:00. The bell rang, and I literally ran out of class. I went into the auditorium, and, to my surprise, saw my friends.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"We came to watch you, and to wish you good luck," Ethan said.

"Aw... thanks guys!" I have them each a hug, and Magenta even hugged me back. I put my stuff down with them and grabbed the script from my backpack. I went to sit in the front with the rest of the kids auditioning. I saw Lash come on, and he sat three seats down from me.

"Okay, we will have auditions for Christine and Raoul in one scene. The one where they both sing All I Ask of You. Now, I would like Felicity Henshaw, for Christine, and Bradley Davidson, for Raoul." I watched them go up on the stage, the sang, moved around, sang some more, and kissed, then sang. I honestly thought they didn't do too bad, but I think I would do better.

"Okay, next I want... Alexandria Hill, Christine, and... Jason Thompson for Raoul." My dropped my mouth and looked at him. He started turning red, then I just smiled. We went up on the stage. I put my script down on the floor, as did he. Evidently, he memorized the song, too. The music started to play, and it began.

"No more talk of darkness, forget these wide eyed fears, I'm here, nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you, let me be your freer, let daylight dry your tears, I'm here, with you beside you, to guard you and to guide you," he sang. I walked to step directly in front of him.

"Say you'll love me, every waking moment, turn my head, with talk of summer time, say you'll need me with you, now and always, promise me, that all you say is true, that's all I ask of you," I sang. He stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Let me be your shelter, let me be your light, your safe, no one can find you, your fears are far behind you," he sang.

"All I want is freedom, a world with no more night, and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me," I sang.

"Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime, let me lead you from your solitude, say you'll want me with you here, beside you, anywhere you go let me go too, that's all I ask of you," he sang.

"Say you'll share with me one love one lifetime," I sang. We stepped away from each other, to stand in front of each other. Then we both started singing.

"Say the word and I will follow you, share each say day with me, each night each morning."

"Say you love me," I sang.

"You know I do," he sang.

"Love me, that's all I ask of you," we both sang. We moved into each other, getting closer until our lips touched. He put his arms around my waist, and I put my arms around his neck. The kiss got more passionate every second, and it was a painfully slow kiss. Eventually, it was getting to the point where we had to break away from each other to sing some more.

"Love me, that's all I ask of you," we both sang. The song ended, and I stepped out from his hold.

"That was really excellent. You two are great together," the drama teacher said.

"Thanks,' was all lash could say, and I couldn't do anything but nod my head. We walked off the stage, and I went to my friends. They said I did a really good. I thanked them all and grabbed Zach's sleeve.

"What?"

"I need to talk to you, right now."

"Okay." He got up and followed me, well I kind of dragged him out fo the auditorium and into the courtyard in front of the school.

"Okay, why drag me outside?"

"OH MY GOSH! That was horrible!"

"You did fine."

"I know that! I was talking about that kiss!"

"That was fine, too. Except for the Lash being the one you kissed part."

"That's exactly what was wrong with it! It was fine. I liked it."

"What?"

"I liked that kiss... and I'm scared." Zach gave me a hug, and we walked back into the auditorium. Little did I know, Lash was listening the whole time.

"I knew she would like it," he whispered, with that stupid grin on his face.
