Author's Note- Hey! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. In this chapter, I'll be describing dresses to you, and I'm not good at describing them. Hopefully, you will get the picture. If not, just think that they're REALLY beautiful! BTW- I didn't really get any suggestions of new SNs, so I'm just going with Scandalous Schoolgirl. R&R!!!

Arts and Recreational Room
Tuesday- 3:00 P.M.
Massie was leaning against the wall of the Arts and Recreational Room, looking at her pink Swarovski watch, waiting for the girls to arrive. There were exactly thirty seconds left for the girls to get here.
Just as the watch turned to three o' clock, Alicia ran up to Massie, with Kristen, Dylan, and Claire following right behind her.
"We're here." Alicia panted, leaning against the wall to catch her breath.
"Just barely." Massie snapped. "Let's go now."
The five girls walked into the room and saw that Mrs. Hallaway was in the back of the room, getting the costumes ready.
"Ah, you're here, girls. Perfect." Mrs. Hallaway said, spotting Massie and the girls.
"Hi." Massie said.
"Today, I want you guys to get more into your character by dressing up." Mrs. Hallaway said.
"Dressing up?" Massie said, wrinkling her nose. She didn't want to dress up like babies.
"Yes, here is the costume wardrobe." Mrs. Hallaway led the girls to a small room that was covered in different costumes.
"Hmm, let's see." Mrs. Hallaway said, rummaging through the costume packed room.
"What are you looking for?" Claire asked.
"I'm trying to find your costumes."
"Oh, do you need any help?" Kristen offered.
"Oh, no thank you. I found them." Mrs. Hallaway said, holding up several different colored dresses.
Massie lifted one perfectly sculpted eyebrow. She looked over the dresses and thought that they looked pretty good.
One dress was strapless and completely white, with white sequins and glitter lining the waist, and the train flowed beautifully behind. The dress also came with a crystal flower barrette, a pair of white silk gloves, a crystal necklace, a pair of silver glittery high heels, and a white small clutch.
Massie was pretty sure that the white strapless dress was for her. After all, the play was based on Cinderella, and Cinderella would most likely wear white, if not blue.
The next dress was a light purple halter dress with ruffles and layers at the bottom. It had a small purple rose clip in the middle with a purple ribbon around the waist. It also came with a pair of gloves, high heels, and a clutch.
The third dress was a baby sky blue color that had long sleeves. However, the sleeves didn't look bad at all. Instead, it framed the narrow waist of the dress and made the dress look more elegant. The dress was completely straight that just stopped right at the ankle line. The dress came with a pair of gloves, high heels, and a bracelet.
The fourth dress was hot pink with a tank top kind of strap. The dress went a little past the knees and it was shorter in the front and longer in the back. The dress also had slight ruffles starting from the waist and all the way to the end. It had pink flowers sewed on it from the left shoulder coming all the way down to the right side of the waist, like a sash. The dress came with things like all the other dresses. But, in addition, it also came with a pink hair band.
The last dress was a strapless dress. The top half of the dress was black, and from the waist on and down, it was light green. It had ruffles and a big bow tied on the front of the waist. It was pretty simple looking, but yet, it was beautiful. The dress went down exactly to the knees. The high heels were black with light green bow ties on the front of it. The gloves were all green and the clutch was also green and black.
"Wow," breathed Alicia, "these dresses are so beautiful."
Mrs. Hallway smiled. "They are, aren't they?"
"Which one is mine?" Massie asked, barely containing her excitement.
"The white one, of course." Mrs. Hallaway said, handing the white dress to Massie.
Massie smiled and took the dress, she knew the white dress was hers.
"Which one is mine then?" Alicia asked.
"The hot pink one."
"Ooh, cool." Alicia smiled.
Mrs. Hallaway handed out the light green dress to Kristen, the light blue dress to Claire, and the light purple dress to Dylan.
"Um, purple doesn't match with my red hair." Dylan complained.
Massie sighed. This was so typical of Dylan to complain about her hair and something else.
"Well, I don't think any other dresses match you either, right?" Mrs. Hallaway asked.
Dylan looked around at each of the dress and finally said, "Yeah, I guess you're right."
Mrs. Hallaway nodded. "Ok, so now that you girls have your dresses, go into the changing rooms and change into your dresses."
Massie quickly headed into the first changing room and shut the door.
Massie took of her clothes, and changed into the white dress. Massie smiled as the white dress softly slipped over her. The dress was the perfect size for her.
She zipped up the dress, put on the high heels and the necklace, and stepped out.
"Hey, you guys, what do you think of my dress?" Massie asked, just as Derrington walked in, holding his own costume.
Massie instantly blushed. Derrington was just staring at Massie.
Alicia came out of her changing room and took one look at Massie and automatically said, "You look gorgeous!"
Massie didn't answer, she was still frozen and looking at Derrington.
Alicia realized something was wrong, and turned around to see what had caused the trouble. She saw Derrington.
"Oh, hey." she said.
Derrington finally broke his gaze away from Massie and turned towards Alicia.
"Oh, hey , Alicia." Derrington said.
Massie broke her gaze away too.
"Thanks." she said to Alicia.
"Yeah, no problem." Alicia said, giving Massie and Derrington both a weird look, before going back into her changing room.
Derrington cleared his throat. "Um, hey."
"Hey." Massie said softly back to him.
There was a moment of awkward silence.
"Um, I got to go back in and finishing changing." Massie said, pointing her finger to the changing room.
"Ok, cool." Derrington said.
Massie turned around and went back into her changing room. Once she was inside the changing, Massie sank down on the seat.
What the hell had just happened there? Why was she and Derrington all tongue tied and awkward with eachother?
Massie put the barrette onto her head, put on her gloves, and opened the door.
Derrington was still outside, standing exactly where Massie had seen him last.
"Do you need the changing room now?" Massie asked.
"Oh yeah, I need it. Thanks." Derrington said, going into the changing room.
"No problem." Massie said.
Massie stood outside waiting for her friends to come out.
Three minutes later, all five girls were done changing, and they were admiring each other's dress.
"Wow, Dylan." Alicia said. "That dress looks great on you."
"I know!" Dylan beamed. "I was so surprised that the dress actually looked good on me, when I put it on."
"Claire, that dress matches the color of your eyes." Massie complimented.
"Thanks, your dress looks really good on you." Claire smiled.
Massie smiled back. She was still a little dazed from her encounter with Derrington.
After a little bit more of complimenting each other's dress, the girls headed out to the stage.
"Oh, are you girls done?" Mrs. Hallaway asked.
"Yeah." Massie said.
"Good, then we'll get started right after the boys are done changing."
The girls waited for a few minutes before the boys finally came out onto the stage.
"Ok, let's get started now." Mrs. Hallaway said.
Massie stifled a gasp. Derrington looked really hot in his costume. He looked like a real Prince Charming.
Massie gasped out loud this time. What the hell was she doing, thinking about how hot Derrington was?
Massie sighed, this was going to be way more awkward than last time. Especially after Massie overheard the boys' conversation at lunch.
Everyone got into their positions and waited for Mrs. Hallaway's signal to begin.
"Ok, you guys can start." Mrs. Hallaway finally said.
Massie took a deep breath, and started performing.
Ten minutes later…
Massie smiled at the end of her performance. Everything had gone pretty well, and the whole thing wasn't as awkward as she thought it would be.
"Good job, everyone. I'm so proud of you guys." Mrs. Hallaway said, clapping loudly. "Remember, come back tomorrow to see if you actually got the part!"
Massie got off the stage and went back into the changing rooms to change back into her normal clothes.
When Massie got out, Derrington was right outside, and it seemed like he was waiting for her.
"Hey Block, nice audition." Derrington said.
Massie's skin tingled a bit at the mention of Derrington calling her that. But she quickly got that feeling out of her mind. Why was she feeling all tingling for Derrington? She wasn't with him anymore, and as far as she was concerned, she should be hating him.
But, that wasn't how it was right now. In fact, it was just about the opposite...
"Yeah, you too." Massie quickly said, before walking away from Derrington.
Derrington looked a little confused and a bit sad at Massie's sudden departure, but he just shrugged and went into the changing room.
Massie went over to friends and sighed. What was going on with her? Was she falling back in love with Derrington?...
