Chapter Five
Jensen is sitting four rows from the stage watching a tiny little brunette sing her lungs out on stage. She's got a good voice, but he personally doesn't think she'll get the part. He also thinks that if he hears Somewhere Over The Rainbow one more time he's going to scream. And he's never really been a screamer.
He turns when he hears the heavy clunk of a book bag being placed on a plastic seat, and his face stretches into a grin as Kristen sits down next to him.
"I'm on next," she gives him a nervous grin, "That's Sophia." she nods to the girl on the stage, "She's Sandy's best friend. She's good, but she can't act. Which I think Eric knows."
Jensen nods, "I was thinkin' there was somethin' about her that just didn't work."
"Who're you auditioning for?" she asks, peering at the script in his hands.
He grins, "I was thinkin' the guy who opens the door to Oz."
She shakes her head, "Oh no. No no. You need a bigger part than that. The scarecrow. He's Dorothy's best friend!"
"An' what happens if you don't get Dorothy?" he asks her, his voice low. He catches the smell of raspberries and toothpaste as he leans towards her.
Eric gestures to Kristen as Sophia finishes singing on stage. She jumps up and grins at him nervously.
Standing on the stage, Eric looks up at her from the floor, "Now, I'm going to read Aunt Em's line, and you go from here," he shows her a place on the script and she nods.
"Now, you just help us out today, and find yourself a place where you won't get into any trouble." Eric reads in a bored voice, as if he's done this fifty times already today. Which, Jensen thinks, he probably has.
"Some place where there isn't any trouble," Kristen's whole persona changes under the lights and Jensen sits up a little straighter, "Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto?" She looks down and asks what Jensen must assume is an imaginary dog, "There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away -- behind the moon -- beyond the rain --"
She turns towards the audience, where there are students sitting in clumps of threes and fours. Opening her mouth, she sings.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really
do come true.
A girl behind his giggles, disrupting him from the stupor he was in, "Can you believe how good she is? I totally can't believe she didn't get Annie last year."
Her friend agrees, "Oh, I know! Like, the girl who played her wasn't half as good as she is. If she doesn't get Dorothy this year I am so complaining. I mean, I'm totally happy to play a munch-kin or something as long as she gets the part."
"I know!" The first girls voice filters past his ears, "Oh, and did you hear about that new senior? He's from, like, Alabama or something. I heard Sandy and Sophia talking about him. Apparently him and Kristen are best friends now. She's, like, totally forgotten about Jason already. And it's so only been a week."
"Uh," her friend says in disgust, "How could you forget about Jason? He was totally the hottest guy here last year."
"Mhm," he hears, "I so agree with you."
Jensen shakes his head and turns his attention back to the stage where Kristen is finishing.
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
Eric claps and a few students join in, including what sounds like the girls behind him. Kristen smiles shyly and jumps down off the stage, running back up to where Jensen is sitting and burying her face in her hands, "Oh, I hate auditioning."
"You sounded the best I've heard so far," he reassures her, "An' a couple girls behind me think you're a shoo-in."
She grins and blushes a little, "It'd be so exciting if I did. Now, you. Scarecrow?'
He shakes his head and laughs, "I don't dance."
She smacks him on the arm and grabs his script from him.

"You're a shoo-in," Jared grins as he slides into the table next to Jensen.
"Whs a sh-n?" Mike spits through a mouthful of burger, "'N fr wht?"
Tom rolls his eyes and offers Mike his can of coke, "Dude, try not talking with your mouthful."
Jared laughs, "Jensen is totally in. With Kristen. I just got back from a primo makeout session with Sandy and she told me that she caught Kristen writing Jen's name all over her math book. She's totally into you man."
Jensen shook his head, "I don't get in the way of anyone's relationships. It's bad ground, man. I'm jus' not gonna do it."
Mike rolls his eyes at Tom, "Well, you aren't going to get laid with that attitude."
"I don't want to get laid, Mike," Jensen tells him, "Not everythin' in this world is about sex."
"Sex is good though," Tom says, with the air of someone who doesn't get much of it.
Jensen sighs, "Just drop it, okay? All of ya'll. What happens, happens and right now she has a boyfriend."
Mike gestures towards Jensen with his burger, "You should at least invite her tomorrow night." he says, before taking another big bite.
"All right," he sighs, "I'll invite her tomorrow night."
--------
Jensen steps out of his front door and walks towards Kristen's place. He can hear a cricket buzzing in the background and it's not too cold even though the leaves are beginning to fall off the trees.
Kristen is sitting in her normal spot, and Jensen wonders briefly why she's not out somewhere with her friends. He clears his throat and pushes his glasses up onto the bridge of his nose.
She smiles at him, "I notice you do that a lot when you're nervous about something. Push your glasses up, that is."
He drops his hand away from his face, "I didn't know that." he tells her.
She cocks her head to one side, "What's up?"
"I was wonderin'," he starts, tilting his head towards the ground and scratches the back of his neck, "Wonderin' if you maybe wanted to come with me to Mike's party tomorrow night."
She smiles wider, "I would love that."
He nods, "Pick you up at eight." he grins, before waving goodbye and lets himself back into the house.
