Rose sighed and pushed open the heavy doors. "You summoned me, Mr. Daniels?" Mr. Daniels looked up from his book and smiled at her, "Ah, Rose! Come in, child, and sit down!"
Rose closed the doors and sat down in the green armchair across from his desk. "Is there a new task?" She asked hopefully. He beamed and a large basin appeared on his desk. "This is East High School, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I'm sorry to say that cliques are taking over and interrupting destiny."
Rose peered inside and saw a tall boy with shaggy light brown hair dribbling a basket ball. She saw a short blonde girl storming through the hallway with a taller blonde boy following close behind. A young boy with an afro almost was run over by the blonde girl but she kept marching past him.
Rose furrowed her brow, "What do you want me to do?"
"You, my dear, are going to go down and break up this clique nonsense! You see, things are meant to happen between these people and if they are too wrapped up in avoiding each other, nothing will! So you are going down as a seventeen year old girl who loves to sing and is exceedingly intelligent."
Rose laughed, "Where ever did you come up with that character?"
Mr. Daniels gave her a crinkly smile, "You may not remember but once upon a time you told me if you could do it all again, you would be a singer. And you looked like a girl who would be good at academics. Are there any other questions? I'm afraid you will begin immediately for there isn't much time."
"Mr. Daniels," She started thoughtfully, "Is this my last task? Am I free after this?" She hoped.
"Yes, yes! You are free once this task is over! Sad, but true, we will miss you. Now then, off you go, your "mother" will meet you there!" And with that, he clapped his hands and Rose disappeared then reappeared in a lodge in the mountains somewhere.
She looked down and discovered she was in a beautiful, young, ethnic looking girl and was clad in a purple suit. She grimaced at the suit but shrugged and snapped her fingers so a book appeared in her hands.
Almost an hour later, a Mexican woman in a skirt clacked up to her, "Gabby, I've laid out your best clothes, come get ready!" The woman said, taking her book away.
Rose inwardly groaned, 'Gabby?! Oh no…' Instead, she half-smiled at the woman and held out her hand, "Can I at least have my book back?" She asked then grabbed her book and walked off.
While she dressed, she learned that her name is Gabriella Montez and her mother is a single mother. She took her book and walked into the "kid's party," rolling her eyes and laughing at the youth today. She sat down on a couch and began to read again.
Suddenly, a spot light was shining on her and she was being pulled onto the stage. She glanced at her singing partner and almost gasped. It was the light haired boy from the basin!
Music began to play and Rose's insides froze. 'I can't sing! I can't sing! I don't know how!' He sang and she grew more nervous 'He's so good at this, oh God, oh God, why did I agree to this?!'
She opened her mouth slowly and began to sing the words on the screen. 'What?! There's no off-key, dying bird sounds! This isn't my voice, this isn't my voice! Oh wait, yes it is!' She smiled and sang stronger.
Rose continued to sing strong, almost fell of the stage when the boy advanced her and had a great time. Afterward, he held out his hand and she took it, "Troy." He greeted.
"Ro-Gabriella!" She yelled back then they walked outside. She actually enjoyed talking to him and exchanged numbers with him on some contraption called a 'cell phone.'
He was going to kiss her, she could tell, but something inside her said 'Not now. No, walk away.' So she made up an excuse and walked off.
That night, she gave her first report to Mr. Daniels, "I just don't see how this could possibly work."
"Have faith child, it will all come in time." He replied then disappeared.
Rose settled back on her bed and sighed, "All I have is faith." She muttered.
Well, I know it doesn't really make sense but it will eventually. This is the prologue, and don't worry, the other chapters will be longer and hopefully better but I wanted to throw this idea out there. So, should I continue? Let me know and in the meantime, I recommend reading Angel of the Starz's stories Stars in Your Eyes, Guardian Angel and Separation Anxiety! And check out my other story When Dreams Come True! Please read and review so I know if I should continue this or not!! XOXO
