Cold Love // Hayes Grier

viii

Hayes.

Her smile, her eyes, her hair; everything about her is perfect. If I didn't mess up we could be together now.

It was all Jordan's fault, she was got jealous when I started dating Cara. Jordan only used me for fame, not Cara; most of my fans think differently. They believe Cara used me, and Jordan didn't.

Cara just strutted in, and for the first time in months; she smiled at me. Just to see her smiling at me, was magnificent. She was perfect. Her blonde beautiful hai-.

"Yo, Hayes," Trevor yelled interrupting my thoughts.

"Sup'," I said and we did our usual handshake.

"There is a party on Friday, you coming?" He asked.

"Sure," I replied, "I'll have Nash taking me."

"Cool," he said,"I'll see you later."

He left, and I continued to admire Cara. I really do sound like a creeper don't I? Just like always she sat next to me, and waited for Ms. Hurt to talk about the auditions.

She wanted me to be Fiyero, and for Cara to be Galinda. I didn't want her to be Galinda; I want her to be Elphaba, so she can kiss me, again.

But we all know she has her eye set on Galinda, and there is nothing we can do about it.

"My little munchkins," Ms. Hurt began, and started to pace around the room, "as you all know, auditions for Wicked are today."

Everyone began to cheer, and I felt a tugging on my arm. Cara was tugging my arm excitedly.

"I hope all of you audition, and good luck," she shouted, "now today we are going to start talking about how to stand on stage."

"Cara, Hayes, come here!"

Seriously?

~•~

I sat on an auditorium stage with everyone else, we were each waiting for our turn to audition for the musical. Cara was nowhere to be seen, either she didn't want to audition, or she was going to be the first one to audition.

Probably the second one.

"Cara Dallas, on stage please," Ms. Hurt announced through her microphone.

She walked on stage, and my eyes popped out. It was like a light was following her around, not like a spotlight, but like a different glow. She stopped in the middle and said,

"Hello, my name is Cara Dallas, and I'll be singing Part Of Your World by the Little Mermaid."

The music started and you could hear her breathing through the microphone.

Look at this stuff

Isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the girl

The girl who has everything?

She kept on singing as she danced around the stage. She was incredible. She got to part of the song, and started to laugh with it.

I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty

I've got whozits and whatzits galore

You want thingamabobs?

I've got twenty!

But who cares?

No big deal
