Mrs. Daniels finished her intro it was time for the big moment. “We walk onstage just like we practiced the day before.” explains Davis. The bright lights hit their faces as

Ever since this kid was in second grade, he always wanted to be in band. I was there when he heard the Keller Middle School band play for his school, and even though he didn’t get to high-five Frosty the Snowman I knew he was excited. In fact, he was so excited that he threw me off and I was shipped off to the lost and found for a day, until he got me because there’s no doubt he was cold without me. Anyway, Shane always had his heart set on being in band. The band director, Mr. Maus, had told everyone to tell him if they wanted to be in band once they got to Bear Creek Intermediate, and that’s exactly what he did. Shane was determined to do exactly what he wanted this time.

“ Sorry I forgot to tell you guys that A new family is coming to visit to maybe welcome some of you into a family” she said excitedly.

His skin was sun kissed and gorgeous. His smile was contagious and she fought the urge to grin at him like an idiot. She watched the slight pink of his tongue show between his teeth, how the very apples of his cheekbones turned a sweet ruddy red as he struggled to control himself.

“Oh, hey Evie! Glad you could come!” My friend April laughed and ran over to me.

This is Alyssa’s second time performing in a Green Hills Play. Last year, she performed in Peter Pan Jr. as a pirate and an indian. She hopes to continue acting for the next four years in high school. She juggles between school and sports, such as soccer, swimming, and track. She likes to sing, draw, read and fool around with her friends in the little free time she has. Alyssa is willing to follow her older brother's footsteps in choir, swimming, also join the soccer team in NHS. She would like to thank her parents and siblings for staying sane with her crazy schedule and attitude and thank her friends for supporting her in every second in the play.

At 2:45 on the first Monday of freshman year a crowd gathered around the little theater. There were hugs, high-fives, congratulations, and tears ripping through the crowd. Someone new would join and the interactions would start all over again. It was the cast list.

“Good morning, it’s nice to meet you.” Sophia bounced as she shook my sweaty hand.

The choir teacher said that it was a good sage for Stanley to be the beginning act for the play. Stanley was profoundly shocked of what he had heard. He wanted to yell no at his choir teacher but he kindly entreated to give that part to someone else. The choir teacher insisted and Stanley had no other choice but to accept. Stanley was scared after the talk he had with his teacher. He was completely despondent the week before the play. Just thinking of him standing in front of hundreds of parents and students haunted him. Stanley knew that he was scared but he also knew that he can't quit so he impelled his last week just practicing the script. Then came the day of the play. Stanley was very nervous. This would be one of the biggest moments of his life. The stage was decorated with fluffy white cotton pretending to be snow. Soon parents and children filled up the school auditorium. When the lights went dim the choir teacher came up. He introduced himself in his most affable tone. After he was done with the intro the choir teacher stepped off the stage and queued Stanley to go up for the opening act. As Stanley was heading up the choir teacher whispered “don't be too irascible when speaking”. As Stanley approached the golden plated mic he started to tremble. He took a deep breath and he started to speak. Stanley's voice reverberated throughout the whole auditorium. His voice was

They captured seventy-five of the enemy combatants to include one make believe General, who told them they had no right to hold him as the United States of America no longer existed as far as he was concerned. Finally, out of exasperation at hearing the man rant and rant, Captain Gaston, who was now in Tomakow headquarters, had him tied and gaged then set into a corner so they didn’t have to listen to him anymore.

From Ramses's right came a shriek as a sword cleaved a nearby body in half.

Hange just stared at him. The grin on her face slowly fading into a soft, gentle smile. She gazed into his light brown eyes. Her breathing was slow and calm. Moblit felt like he
