All I thought about all day was that I was going to the same school as Henry. Thinking about his appearance, I almost walked right by the poster for a new musical that the school was going to showcase. It was called "The Great Love". Maybe something like this was the perfect thing to get Henry off my mind? I ran over to the large poster hung by pieces of tack and took it off the wall to look it over.
As I read it, I realized the auditions were tonight. I stuffed the poster in my bag and headed back to my dorm to get ready. After dressing up with hair and makeup, I headed to the auditorium to start my auditions.

When it was my turn to say some lines and sing some songs, the director (named Ms. Lionel) said I did a great job. In fact, all the judges seemed to really like my performance.
I was going for one of the main characters: Alice, the one that falls in love with Jake. The cast list was going to be announced next weekend, so I was preparing myself for either option. I was nervous, but I knew I had a chance.
Finally, the day came. After breakfast with my new friend, Ida, I walked back to the wooden board where the cast list was hung up. Tracking down the list I found my name, next to Alice. But I also saw something else.
