Delly and Eden sat by Reds bed waiting for him to wake up.
"He looks so happy."stated Eden wistfully."I wonder what he's dreaming about?"
Delly smiled.
"I just wish he'd wake up.I don't know what I'd do without him."
"Well you don't have to."
The girls turned at the new voice.
"Red!"they cried throwing their arms around him.
"Delly,Eden ,what happened?"Red asked, looking scared.Delly smiled.
"You fell off the stage.Were at a hospital now though."
Outside in the corridor the nurse heard the new voice and a smile crept onto her face.
Her newest patient had just woken up.She bustled into the room, smiling,
"Glad to see you awake ,honey!Do you want anything to drink or eat."
Red nods slowly and the nurse shoots off to get ham sandwiches and some diluting juice.
While she's away there's a knock at the door and all of the children shout
"Come in!"
The door opens and Tali and Caroline come in.The first thing Caroline does is start yelling at the girls.
"You girls are in a lot of trouble!Couldn't you have told someone before coming here?We had no idea where you were and I was so worried.If we hadn't guessed correctly what would I be telling your mom's?"
Caroline took a deep breath.
"I understand you wanted to be there for Red but next time tell someone where you're going!But girls,I AM glad to see you safe and sound."
Caroline hugs them before turning to Red.
"How are you Dylan?Can you face an interview yet?"
Red looked at Caroline with a puzzled face.
"Interview?"
"For Beverly Hall dear" Tali said gently.
"Sure,I'm ready." He decided
Caroline hurried the girls out of the room.
"Lets go get something to eat.Ok?"
The girls frowned but knowing that they had no choice in the matter followed Caroline to the cafe.
Tali was left in the room with Red.
"Red,I know that you have been to lots of different schools and I have one question for you:Why did you chose to come here to school.Aell, not here as in the hospital,here as in the young actors theatre?"
Red looked down for a moment preparing his answer.
"We learn more than just how to act.Here we learn about the setting ,the costumes,the lighting,the sounds,all the special effects.In lots of the other schools,almost all of them,we only learn how to act.Here we can experience something different and I love learning new skills so this school is the place of my dreams.Also,I can be whoever I want to be here whereas in my old school I was the shy,knowit all boy,Dylan Hardy.."
"One last question Dylan,why do you act?"
"I love it! It makes me feel free, like I'm someone else entirely.And I like it.I love the applause at the end of a show and I love feeling the atmosphere of the audience.Sometimes its thin and watery like if it's a joyful scene,other times it's so thick you could maybe cut it with a knife.If I couldn't act any more I'd want to curl up and die ...possibly somewhere in a hole."
"Ok,thank you Dylan.I will let you know ok."
Now she had interviewed each one of them,they only had the test to sit.
Two hours later(because I'm lazy and don't want to write any more about a hospital)Tali delivered Red back to the school.
Caroline met them at the gate to the school.
"Red, glad to see you again.Head upstairs to bed now ok?"
Red nodded and quietly slipped up the stairs into his dorm room.
Five guys sat waiting for him.
"Are you OK?"
"We've been up all night!"
"The girls were worried about you!"
"Yeah, they kept coming down to see if you were back yet."
"They missed you dude,and they were worried about you.."
