Trying So Hard Not to Look Desperate, Makes It more Obvious by Precious Illusions

When we passed each other on the street
Did you turn to look at me?
I never looked behind to see
I'm too afraid of the answers you seek
Too many words & emotions inside of me
Stopping my mouth from human speech

I gave up my voice because I stutter
Everyone you talk to makes me jealous
Part of me thinks you're doing this on purpose
But then I can't see beyond the surface

All I write has a little bit of you
All I write is all of you

All I write has a little bit of you
All I want is all of you

March 16/06

Dear Diary,

Well the auditions are over and you could call it a gigantic success! There were some not so good singers, some decent singers and some totally amazing singers. Oh and Sharpay recovered from her sickness so she was able to make the auditions. Now all everyone has to do is wait for the callbacks. Ugh I can't stand the waiting!

Impatiently yours,

Alex

Auditorium

Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Kelsi and Alex were all sitting in the 2nd row. A couple of people were sitting on the 1st row. Ms. Darbus was standing on the stage.

Ms.Darbus: Thank you all for coming. I hope we will get to hear all the wonderful singers this school has to offer.First up is Deborah Kingsley.

A girl about Alex's age goes p the stage. She was a nit chubby and look really nervous. She started to sing and her voice sounded a lot like a frogs.

Ms.Darbus: Uh thanks you Deborah. Next up is Joshua Abram.

A boy (Troy's age) comes up the stage. He starts to sing with a very, very low voice.

Ms.Darbus: (interrupts) Thank you Joshua

8 singers later…

Ms.Darbus: Therese Kensington

Alex looks surprise. Therese goes up the stage.

Therese: It's Therese not Theresa.

Ms.Darbus: Yes thank you Therese.

Therese starts to sing very loudly and surprisingly sounded decent.

Ms.Darbus: Thank you Ms. Kensington. Next up is Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez.

Troy, Gabriella and Kelsi quickly goes up the stage. Kelsi sits in front of the piano.

Ms.Darbus: Good to see you again Bolton, Montez.

Kelsi starts to play the piano and Troy starts to sing (What Im Looking For).

A few minutes later…

Ms.Darbus : Brava! Now that's what were looking for (laughs at her own joke)

Therese rolls her eyes. Troy, Kelsi and Gabriella quickly goes back to their seats.

Ms.Darbus: Next is Ryan and Sharpay Evans.

Ryan, Sharpay, and Alex quickly walks to the stage. Alex sits in front of the piano. Ryan and Sharpay takes out their personalized microphones. Alex starts to play the piano (accompanied by a stereo).Ryan starts to sing.

Ryan: Ya never know what you're gonna feel, oh

Ya never see it coming suddenly it's real

Sharpay: Never even crossed my mind, no

That I would end up here tonight

Both: All things change

When you don't expect them to

No one knows

What the future's gonna do

I never even noticed that you've been there all along

Both: I can't take my eyes off you

I know you feel the same way too, yeah

I can't take my eyes off you

All it took…was one look

For a dream come true

I can't take my eyes off you

Feelings like I never knew

I can't take my eyes off you

From the start…got my heart

Yeah, you do

Can't take my eyes off you

(From the High School Musical Soundtrack)

Ms.Darbus: (enthusiastically claps her hands) Bravo! Bravo! Now this is what theatre is all about!

Sharpay: (smiles sweetly) Thank you Ms. Darbus (walks off stage with Ryan and Alex following her.)

A few more singers later…

Ms.Darbus: Ok! We had a wonderful day of auditions and I will be posting the callbacks tomorrow. Thank You!

All the people in the room quickly leaves except for Alex. Might as well practice the piano Alex thought Alex starts to play the piano and then starts to sing one of the songs in the Spring Musical.

Alex:Once a lass

Met a lad

You're a genltle on said she

In my heart

I'd be glad

If you loved me for me

You say your love is true

And I hope that it will be

I'd be sure If I knew

That you loved me for me…

Meanwhile outside the room…

The gang are walking through the halls.Sharpay stopped and turned to Ryan.

Sharpay: I forgot my purse. You guys go ahead without me.

She quickly walks back to the auditorium. She walks inside and hears a piano playing and a voice singing. She notices that it 's Alex singing.

Could I be the one you're seeking

Will I be the one you choose

Can you tell my heart is speaking

My eyes will give you clues

What you see may be deceiving

Truth lies underneath the skin

Hope will blossom by believing

The heart that lies within

I'll be yours

Together we shall always be as one

If you love me for me

Who can say where we'll go

Who can promise what will be

But I'll stay by your side

If you love me for me

If you love me for me

I didn't know she could sing that good Sharpay thought. Alex finishes the song and quickly leaves backstage.Sharpay quickly goes to get her purse then quickly leaves.

So what did you think? Sorry to keep you waiting I have a huge Science Project for school and I didn't have time to type the story up. I have the next 2 chapters written and I hope I can type it up soon. The song If you love me for me (the one Alex was singing) was from Princess and the Pauper in Barbie. That is the new Spring Musical in East High The Princess and the Pauper. Give me tons of reviews!
