Celine enters the Waldorf Auditorium, where numerous musical and stage plays are held. It was a freezing cold morning of December. As she walks inside the lobby, she smiles as she immediately saw Nate, his co-star in their musical play. Nate is walking towards her with a smile.Celine is currently in a certain musical play production wherein she is the only female lead and she'll be acting alongside with four guys."Morning, Celine! You look like a squirrel freezing from cold. Are you okay?" Nate worriedly asks Celine."Good morning, Nate! Oh, don't worry, I can still handle the cold." Celine reassures him.Nate glances at his watch and looks at Celine again."Well, we can get ourselves a cup of coffee before our call time." he suggested."Sounds nice. Thanks." Celine agrees, without thinking twice.Nate and Celine are now making their way to the coffee vending machine. While Nate was busy getting themselves coffee from the vending machine, Celine secretly watches him.He's definitely
After doing warm-up exercises, they finally started with the rehearsals. Nate and Celine are called onstage to practice their scenes together.Once they were finished, Mr. Alford called Nate and Celine to give them his feedback."The way you deliver your lines is too strong, Celine. Remember, not too strong nor, not so soft. You should say your lines clearly and with conviction. Am I making any sense?" "Yes, sir." I responded, while nodding in return."And Nate, I think that you were amazing. Your voice perfectly blends well with Celine. My advise to you two, is just to continue practicing. Both of you should practice, even on your free time." Director Alford suggested."Thank you for your one-on-one talk, sir." Nate thanked their Director. As the both of them started going down the stage, Nate suddenly moved closer to me. Then, he whispered:"Sir Alford is right. We should practice more, just the two if us." he informs Celine. “That's a good idea.” I whispered back, trying not to
"We apologize sir, but can you please give us more time?" Nick pleaded to the guard."Please, give us more time, sir!" Justin pleaded as well. "Alright, then. Five more minutes. Then afterwards, we will completely locked the doors." the guard finally gave in to their request. "Thank you so much, sir. We really appreciate it." Gale thanked the guard, while heaving a sigh of relief.==============================Celine closed her eyes tightly, as she's waiting for the worst thing to happen. She feared that she will die a painful death, and she's also hoping and wishing that she can fight back to save herself.“----Don’t panic.I promise I won’t hurt you…” she heard one familiar voice behind her. Celine's eyes flew open, and she's now sure that nothing bad is going to happen to her. “I’m sorry if I scared you.” said the gentle voice again, while he's slowly releasing Celine.Celine slowly wheels around to see who was standing behind her."Nate!" she exclaims, as she heave a sigh of
"Good morning, everyone! I'm so sorry for being late!" Nate suddenly made his entrance, while gasping for breath."You're not that late, Nate. We're still doing warm ups." the old director reassures him."Thank you, Sir." Nate heaved a sigh of relief. Then afterwards, he walks towards his cast mates to join them."Celine isn't here yet?" Nate asked everyone, while looking worried."Yeah. Maybe she overslept?" Nick did a wild guess.Nate's brows met in a curious frown when he saw Gale giving him a challenging stare. He doesn't have any idea on why he's looking at him like that...===========================Twenty minutes have passed, but Celine is still missing in action. But the Director still went ahead with their rehearsals, as scheduled."Today, we're going to discuss the list of songs for our musical play. Next week, a pianist will be here so that we can start with your vocal rehearsals." Director Alford informs everyone on what they will be expecting at the rehearsals next week.
Celine and Nick finally reaches the small town of Walnut Creek. They were greeted by the gust of winter wind, as if they are being welcomed."So, where are you going now?" Nick suddenly asks Celine."I'm going to my parent's farm, which is called the Montecarlo farm. How about you? Where are you going?" Celine asked in return."Oh, I'm going to my grandparent's place." Nick smilingly answers. "Let's have fun on our holiday vacation, okay?" Celine was ready to say goodbye."See you at the rehearsals after the holidays." Nick nodded in return.They were about to part their ways when Celine heard someone calling her name."Celine!" Celine smiled when she saw Sally, and her brother Simon, who both steps out from the pick-up truck. Sally excitedly ran towards Celine. "Sally and Simon! I'm glad to see you again after a long time!" Celine happily greeted her childhood friends.But instead of answering Celine, Sally's attention instantly focused on Nick."Who is he, Celine?" Sally instantl
As the night deepens, Celine is still unable to sleep. She decided to get up, walk out from her room and decided to warm up some milk so that she can relax and feel sleepy.And coincidentally, Celine caught Nick as well, drinking one mug of milk.They are now enjoying their own mugs of milk , while chatting to each other "What would you feel after the Finale night, Celine?" Nick suddenly asks Celine, out of the blue."Of course, I'll feel sad." commented Celine."Me too. I mean, I know the boys have been fooling around and we sometimes get irritated with each other but we're still a family." Nick suddenly became serious."I agree with you. But even if the play is over, we're still friends, right?" said Celine."Absolutely! Nothing will change..." Nick reassures Celine.Celine suddenly changes her mind about Nick. He can be a clown especially when he is with Nate, Gale and Justin, but deep inside, he can be a warm, kind and gentle person...============================The next mornin
The next day.Only two weeks before the Gala Night starts, Director Alford called for a meeting. It was obvious that all of the cast members are under real pressure now."We're almost at the end of the race, and now we're going to work harder that before. But first, let me give you a good news." the Director announced, as he unrolls a medium-sized poster.All of the cast lets out a gasp of surprise and excitement. It was their official poster for the musical play, and it looks absolutely impressive and amazing!"We're also sending the tickets at the participating outlets. We really have to give our best shot. But for the meantime, guys.We need to put up these posters around the area. And be sure to ask permission to the authorized person before putting up the posters. Is that clear?" the old director asked for everyone's approval."Yes, sir!" everyone said in unison."Celine, do you want to pair up with me?" Justin asked her with a smile. "Sure!" Celine smiles back, as she's really
At Drew's apartment."Are you sure you're alright, Drew? Do you think it's better to see a doctor?" Erika worriedly asks Drew."Erika, stop worrying. I was able to jump out on the last minute." Drew reassures her, as he went to the fridge to get them some drinks."Well, that's a relief." Erika said, sounding suddenly tired and weary.At the same time, Drew suddenly made a mental flashback on what happened awhile ago... Everything happened so fast, and he's just thankful because nothing happened to him. It feels like a deja vu, as the same thing happened to him few years ago...Drew finally made a decision, and he wants Erika to hear about it."Erika." he calls for her attention.Erika snaps her head up and stared at Drew."Hmm?" she asks, waiting for him to speak again."I'm leaving as soon as possible. I don't want to get involve with any musical plays and stage plays from now on." Drew finally decided.Erika quickly stood up,obviously shocked with Drew's announcement."I know you
