"The line is winding down and I would like to take this time to again welcome you all back to Degrassi and introduce the casting director for "HIGH SCHOOL REUNION" Mike Fleiss." Mr. Simpson handed over the microphone to a man dressed in a black gray suite.
"Before we get started with getting to know you. I would like to tell you how come we picked Degrassi as our next reunion special. When reading about the class of 2006 and 2007 we found a bunch of high school's who had amazing stories but none of them as complaining as Degrassi. Anyways here is how this works if you signed up alone me and my team will ask you questions alone. If you signed up with a husband or wife or best friend or whatever else my team will ask you joint questions. See you all inside the Cafeteria very soon I hope and good luck." Mike walked back into the Cafeteria.
"Jay you better not mess this up for me. I want on this show, My fans would love it!" Manny told her husband.
"Anything for you to be in front of the camera. If I remember correctly." Peter said from behind Jay and Manny.
"I forgave you once do you seriously have to bring it up again Peter?" Manny did not want to think about that time.
"I was joking." Peter said as he turned away from her.
"Don't let him bother you Manny. Even if we don't all end up on the show we can have our own reunion party at our place." Emma told her best friend.
"Party at Emma's Right on!" Jay slapped his hand with Spinners.
"Shut up!" Emma playfully told her husband.
"Oh babe, your so cute when your mad."
"Mr. Mason and Mrs. Nelson?" a lady in a pant suite yelled from the cafeteria door.
"That's us." Emma said when she reached the door with Spinner in tow.
"Hello I am Brenda, follow me please. The audition process is simple Mike will ask you questions about how you were in high and how you are now. Please be truthful. And here we are now. Mike Meet Mr. Mason and Mrs. Nelson. Married." Brenda said before she sat down and felt Emma and Spinner standing.
"Please Mrs. Nelson tell me about high school." Mike asked.
"In high school I was considered the Cause girl I think Paige even called me that a few times." Emma had no idea how to really answer the question so much had happened when she was in high school.
"Tell me about shooting, was Rick a friend of yours?" Mike pressed on for more information.
"I was on the wack your brain team. Rick… Rick almost shot me too if not for Sean I wouldn't be here." Emma held back the tears thinking of that day broke her heart.
"I'm sorry if I upset, Please tell me about the boy who died off school property." Mike changed the subject.
"That boys name was J.T. York and he happened to be one of my best friends. What kind of audition is this anyways?" Emma was being asked questions about her passed she tried to keep berried away.
"As you know, Mrs. Nelson I am only allowed to cast between 10-13 cast members. These questions help me pick who will and wont make the cut. Now Mr. Mason on your paper here is says you were expelled from Degrassi. Why is that?" Mike forged on ahead.
"I was the one who came up the idea of the paint and feathers along with Jay and Alex." Spinner answered he was ashamed of his passed.
"Were there any others involved?" Mike counter asked.
"Damn I feel like I am on trail. Look In high school I was popular, dated around and if this is what your show is looking for me and my wife are done here. Come on Emma." Spinner was done being asked question that had nothing to do with anything.
"Wait Mr. Mason. I would like to ask just one more thing please?"- Spinner turned around- "Why should you and your wife be on me show in your own words?"
"Anywhere you looked in the halls of Degrassi when I was attending you would see a poster for one thing or another being protested by Emma. The food in the Cafeteria was changed because of her. She took a stand for everything she believed in. I have no real Idea why you would want me. But I am damn sure that if you make a special about Degrassi Class of 2006 and 2007 Emma will almost always be at the center of all the controversy." Spinner grabbed his wife hand and exited the room.
"Put them both on the final list, he's one reason the gun man came to school and she was almost a victim I want them both" Mike told Brenda who simply wrote down there names and number on the final list.
"Ashley and Jimmy Brookes." Brenda called next she explained to them about the questions and brought them into the cafeteria.
"Hell Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, I see here you are a stay at home mother Mrs. Brooks. Please tell me about high school in your own words."
"High school at Degrassi was crazy. I met my husband here and I think that's about the only good thing this school gave me. My ex-boyfriend got Manny pregnant while we were dating. I really think that's the worst thing that happened to me.. Of course other than Jimmy getting shot by that freak Rick." Ashley told him.
"Mr. Brooks you're the guys who got shot?" Mike asked.
"Yes but I prefer Jimmy over the guy who got shot." Jimmy was kind of upset.
"Of course. Of course. Look I have a lot of people to see please see yourselves out." Mike said.
"Thank you for your time." Ashley said as her and jimmy exited the room.
Manny had done many auditions, this was the first one she ever had to do with Jay in the room. She felt sick to her stomach.
"I know you! Your Manny Hogart, your on that T.V. show!" Mike said when he saw Manny.
"Yes that's me." Manny answered.
"And you are?" Mike asked Jay.
"Her husband, Jay" Jay didn't like the way this guy was looking at his wife.
"Oh. And you both met here at Degrassi?" Mike asked?
"I hated him at first. He gave my best friend, Emma, a STI" Manny told mike.
"Like you were little miss. Innocent getting pregnant with Craig's baby." Jay said before he realized it was not something he should have mentioned.
"Perfect. I like you Manny, you too husband. I think I found two more for my show. See you both soon in Hawaii." Mike could feel the tentsion growing between this couple.
Mike had seen a lot of people today he was beyond ready to head back to California.
"I'm done seeing people. Post the list and lets get home." Mike picked up his things and started to walk away.
Brenda walked out into the hallway and grabbed the microphone.
"Will the following people see me before they go. The rest of you I do not call are free to leave Ashley and Jimmy Brooks. Gavin Mason, Emma Nelson. Jay and Manny Hogart, Sean Cameron, Ellie Nash, Alex Nunez, Marco Del Rossi, Peter Stone, Paige Michalchuk, Liberty Van Zandt, Toby Isaacs and Craig Manning. I am sorry the rest of you did not make the cut. Have a wonderful rest of your day."
Hazel closed her eyes. She didn't make the cut and she had no idea why not.
"Oh Hazel its okay, I'll fill you in on all the dirty details." Paige said before she gave Hazel a hug and walked away.
No way was Hazel going to miss out on this. She had to come up an idea to get herself to Hawaii to be on the show and fast
