The Disney Project

Chapter 2

Oh my gosh, did my ears just hear correctly? We are doing a Disney Project! This has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little girl, I sure hope we get to perform and reenact Disney scenes! The whole erupted into fits of little whispers, and right then I saw Lexi walk in, late as always.

"Hey, what did I miss? Everyone seems a little shocked or something." Lexi was already scrolling through Twitter to try and find what she had missed.

"Lex, we are doing a Disney project! Remember when we were kids, and we breathed Disney, it was our lives!" I smiled so big; there were so many possibilities' this project could be.

"No offence, but you still live and breathe Disney Clary."

We both smiled and looked at the teacher waiting for more. Lexi wasn't as obsessed as me, but she did really like Disney.

"Class, settle down. At the end of class I will explain the project and what the requirements are. Until then we are going to do a little class exercise. We will be playing charades, but all the guesses have to relate to Disney." Mrs. Jackson headed over to her bowl of names, and started to pick names.

This is literally my favorite game, it's pretty much improve, and people have to guess what you're improving. The class was silent as she picked the names; no one ever wanted to go first, because it could just be embarrassing!

"For the boys, Cameron you will act as the prince, and for the girls." Mrs. Jackson put her and in the bowl of girl names.

I could just feel the tension in the room. Everyone knew more than half the girls would die to be the princess, but if Lydia didn't get it all hell would break loose. All I could do is pray to god that I was not picked; if I was I'd be screwed even more than I am now. The process felt like years, even though it took about three seconds.

"Clarissa your up; you two please come up to the front of the class."

All the girls looked a little relieved, but sad at the same time. All except Lydia, her face showed pure fury. Maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal if it was one of her little sidekicks, but no it was me. The girl who got caught very close to her boyfriend that day, the girl who got picked to be his princess; this was not going to fly.

I walked up slowly and warily up to the front of the class. I didn't have it in me to try and get out of this little mess. I could feel the people staring at my back, they thought I couldn't hear their whispers, but I could. Today was the worst possible day that has ever existed.

"Mrs. Jackson, Clarissa is looking a little bit pale. Maybe we should have the nurse check on her. I could take her spot instead." Lydia commented, she was trying to look sweet but you could see the anger in her eyes.

"I don't believe that will be necessary Lydia, thank you for your concern though." Mrs. Jackson replied, she knew the difference between looking nervous and being actually sick.

When I got up in front of the class my heart skipped a beat, were there really that many kids in our class? I turned to look at the teacher for further instructions, but I only got Cameron staring at me. I looked down fast, and prayed that I hadn't blushed.

"Okay Cameron and is going to pick a piece of paper in this bowl. It has the princess and Prince they have to portray. Then you guys have to guess what movie it is. Once you pick, you get five minutes to think of what you are going to do, go ahead and pick Cameron." The teacher said while holding the bowl up to Cameron.

Cameron drew a piece of paper, he opened it, but his expression did not change. He walked over and asked Mrs. Jackson a question; she thought about it for a minute then nodded slowly.
