I walked up to the Drama board, wondering when the films were starting filming. It was quite a crowd around the board, so people were pushing and shoving to either see what was going on, or to try and get through the blocked corridor. I managed to push myself forwards, although it didn't do much good as the crowd was so thick.

I pulled out the whistle I use to call Wolfie when in the fields, and blew it as loud as I could. It let out an ear-piercing screech, and everyone stopped moving.

"Anyone who is NOT a main Character in the drama MOVE ALONG!" I shouted, fed up.

Almost everyone fled, except for the few people who were actually in the Drama.

I then got to see the sheet that everyone wanted to see.

'FILMING TODAY! SCENE'S 3 AND 4!

CHARACTERS NEEDED:

April - Lily Evans

Hope - Hailey Short

Maid - Alexandra Middleton

MEET IN THE STUDIO AT 12:30!'

I checked my watch. 12:27. And I knew for a FACT that Lily was still in the dorm, laying around. And she was the main characters, so the show can't go on without her!

I ran all the way to our dorm, ready to pull a sleeping, hesitant Lily to the Studio, but when I got there, that wasn't the case.

She was fully dressed, in her pink tank-top and white sweater with her blue skinny jeans and pumps. She had even styled her hair and done her make-up, with hints of lipstick, blush and pale pink eyeshadow.

"Look - We need to go - Now!" I said, grabbing her arm and pulling her out. I caught a glimpse of her phone ringing on her bed, but we couldn't stop for a phonecall - The show must go on!

I dragged her all the way to the Studio, where there were some dissaproving teachers.

"Sorry - we're late," I panted, exhausted from my sprint around the school, "Just - Saw Sign - Got Lily - Ran here."

"Wait - what is going on! I was meant to be going to meet... Someone... But just as I was leaving I was dragged across the school and taken to here! Now tell me what the heck is going on!" Lily shouted, fuming.

"It's the filming of the first few scenes where April meets Hope, and gets to know her," The teacher explained, calmly. He passed out Scripts, and let us read through them quickly, before telling us where we'd start.

We went outside, and all went in a van to an area not far, which was alike the area described in the book.

"We have permission to film here," our teacher said, before getting us into our places.

Lily went up to the other end of the road whilst I climbed the tree. Some people put a moving van on the other side of the road, with some people starting to unpack. The camera began rolling, and we began.

Lily walked down the street, before stopping under the tree, staring across at the house.

I jumped out of the tree, on cue, and started saying my line.

"We're new to this neighbourhood. Although it's not much of a neighbourhood... You must be our new neighbour! I'm Hope! Hope Lilac Chance! What's your name?"

Lily looked around, before seeing me behind her. There was also some Spy Camera's behind us, so we had to act at all times.

She didn't speak, so I moved on to my next line...

We ran through the scene flawlessly, as we had been practicing for a while. We then had to drive back to school, as it was getting late.
