After school I went to the drama department to see the list for ‘Twilight’.
Cast:
Isabella Swan: Caitlin Alexander
Understudy- Jessica Thorne
Edward Cullen: Andrew Harris
Understudy- Terrence McFluff
I looked sort of confused. I didn’t audition for the part of Bella. I auditioned for Rosalie. Jessica was someone I barely knew. She stood behind me looking angry
“Congratulations” She smiled looking seriously freaky. It scared me.
I wondered back to the drama department to ask them about the mix up. The teacher invited me in
“What can I do you for Miss Alexander.”
“You can call me Caitlin. I was just wondering of how I got the part of Isabella because I auditioned for Rosalie.”
“Yes Caitlin, Well I was talking with the drama teachers and they thought it would be best if you played the main roll this year. And your audition was wonderful!” He always looked happy
“But I don’t think it’s fair to have me as a part I didn’t audition for.” As I spoke his face dropped
“I’m sorry if you don’t like it but that’s what we are doing. If you want to step down, Jessica will take your place.” He left.
I walked back to the Music Department
“Caitlin, Miss Alexander” She said in a pleasant voice
“Miss, You wanted to see me?” I was shaky
“Yes, I would just like to tell you how amazing you are my dear! You left everybody speechless after class today”
“Um thank you”
“Now I was talking to some guys in the business and they’re coming to our schools Open House Night.” She had an extra wide grin on her face
“What’s an Open House Night?”
“Oh my dear, it’s a performance night our school will run. We do one at the end of the year and the half year mark. It’s a wonderful time where the best of the best our school has to offer performs. Attending would be talent scouts, managers, celebrities, critics and judges. It’s a big deal” She explained
“And how do I fit in here?”
“Well, I would like you to be the representation of our class.”
“Me?” I was really shaky and hesitant
“Yes my darling. You will introduce our class, blah, blah, blah, perform a wonderful song on the piano and everyone will applaud.”
“But what abou...”
“There’s nothing to be worried about” She sounded happy
“I wasn’t going to say tha...”
“The class will be backup singing like a choir” She grabbed her coat off the rack. “Have a magical evening Miss Alexander.”
And she was off. I walked to the bus stop to hopefully catch a bus home but Sir from Drama caught me and spoke to me about the Open House Night as well.
“Caitlin, for the OHN I would like you to be representing our class if you don’t mind. All you need to do is introduce yourself, your background in drama and your position you uphold right now which is top of the class.” He rushed
“Sir that sounds nice and all but I’d rather...”
“So you’ll do it, thank you” He ran off. Damn it. I’m stuck with running both classes. Right now I wish I was being homeschooled.
