Alex’s POV
“I’m a wizard.” I said.
“What do you mean you’re a wizard? You mean with magic?” Cody said. “Magic doesn’t exist.”
“It does. I’ll show you.” I said “Alex Cody Cambia Coporum Meum Corpora Sua Nominavi.”
Suddenly me and Cody switched bodies.
“What did you do?” Cody asked in my voice. “Wait you’re me and I’m you. This is strange.”
“Now do you believe that I’m a wizard?” I asked in Cody’s voice.
“Yes now how do we change back?” Cody asked.
“Do you promise not to tell anyone?” I asked.
“Yes I promise.” He said. Well he couldn’t exactly be used to describe him.
“Alex Cody Cambia Coporum Meum Corpora Sua Nominavi.” I said as we switched back.
“That was definitely weird.” Cody said. “Anyway I think it’s kind of cool that you’re a wizard. Just don’t turn me into a girl again. It felt weird.”
“Yeah it always feels weird in someone else’s body.” I responded
Bailey’s POV
Spring Break had passed and everyone was back. I hadn’t actually gone anywhere so me and Zack basically spent a week on the coast of North Carolina. There were a few nice beaches that we went to. It was only the second time I had been to the beach. You don’t find very mean beaches in Kansas
I walked to the Theatre Deck for play tryouts. Zack was supposed to meet me there. I still didn’t what the school play was or who the director was. It was apparently a well kept secret. All I knew is that it was a play and not a musical. After everyone was assembled, I noticed that Cody and Alex were there. As a matter of fact it looked like the whole school was there. I noticed the curtains were starting to open. Once they did I saw Addison on the stage. She was holding a megaphone.
“Good afternoon everyone.” Addison said. “I bet you’re all wondering what the play is going to be this semester. I thought long and hard and decided to choose one of my favorite movies. This semester we will be performing: The Holiday!”
Cody raised his hand. “Why are we doing a Christmas story in the spring?”
“Well I don’t really feel that it is a Christmas movie but more of a story about two women that exchange houses we can even do a version for the spring.” Addison said. “Now I understand that some of you might now have seen this movie, so that’s why on this first day we’ll be watching it.”
So we watched the movie. It was kind of long but it was pretty good. I really liked Kate Winslet’s character and decided that I would like to try out her character. I already knew how to do a good British accent. Now if only I could convince Zack to try out for Jack Black’s character.
“Thank you everyone who stayed.” Addison said. “Tryouts will be tonight at 9:00”
After we had eaten and returned to our room, it was 8:30. Plenty of time to talk to Zack,
“So Zack I was wondering what part you would be trying out for.” I mused.
“It was leaning towards the Jack Black guy. I don’t think I could be a very good British guy.” Zack said.
“Well I was going to be trying out for the British girl.” I said. “So it sounds like you’re in luck.”
After tryouts were done, Addison told us that she needed a few minutes before she eventually decided on the parts. I was going to be Iris and Alex would be Amanda. Cody was going to be Graham and Zack would be Miles. Addison would be playing Miles’s girlfriend Maggie, a role didn’t require much speaking, Woody would be playing the old man Arthur Abbott and Holden would be playing Jasper, Iris’s original love interest. After everything was done and everyone else had left, I went up to Addison.
“So Addison, why did you decide to direct this play?” I asked.
“Well my dad’s a director and my mom’s an actress so I guess I just wanted to go into the family business.” She said. “So I’m going to do both.”
“Well it’s not much of a role.” I said. “You don’t have very many lines.”
“Yeah that’s why I decided to cast myself in the role.” Addison said. “I figured that I should start small if I’m going to be an actor and a director.”
“You don’t have to do both.” I said. “You could just do one at a time.”
“Well that’s probably true.” Addison said. “Anyway I really liked your accent. You sounded like you were actually from England. Have you ever been there?”
“No next week will be my first time.” I said. “So what’s going on between you and Woody?”
“What do you mean?” Addison asked “There’s nothing going on between us.”
“Really?” I responded. “I heard you two were caught making out in the closet after curfew.”
“We weren’t making out.” Addison defended. “We were looking for something for Woody to put on his rash and it was like 5 minutes after curfew.”
“Then what about what happened in Home Ec?” I asked. “You know where you were about to kiss him.”
“I was just checking to see if he was okay.” Addison said.
“Come on, everyone who was in that class knows you were about to kiss him.” I said.
“Okay okay.” Addison said. “I may have a little crush on him. So what do I do?”
“It’s easy.” I said with a smile on my face. “Ask him out. He’s too afraid to do it himself. He joined Home Ec so he could flirt with you.”
“Okay I’ll go do it now.” Addisnon said as she started to run off.
“Addison stop!” I shouted.
“What’s wrong?” She asked.
“You’ve already been caught out past curfew once. We need to head back to our rooms. You can do it tomorrow.” I said.
As we headed toward the student dorms, we were stopped by Kirby.
“Freeze!” He said. “What are you two doing out at this hour?”
Addison looked like a deer caught in the headlights. I had to say something.
“We just finished play tryouts but we both needed to go to the bathroom.” I said.
“You have bathrooms in your rooms.” Kirby said.
“I’m on my period.” I lied. “I couldn’t wait.”
“Alright fine” Kirby said as he walked off. “Just head to your rooms right now. No more stops.”
We headed back to the where the corridors split.
“Thanks for saving me back there.” Addison said.
“Don’t mention it.” I said as I began to walk down to the boys’ side.
I went and joined Zack in our room.
“Hey Babe, what kept ya?” Zack asked. He was already dressed for bed.
“I was just talking to Addison about some things.” I said. “I finally got her to admit that she liked Woody.”
“You won’t win the bet unless she goes out with him.” Zack said proudly.
“Oh I am definitely going to win the bet.” I said with a smirk on my face as I started to tickle him.
“Hey no fair. I wasn’t ready.” Zack said as he giggled.
The next night at our first rehearsal, we had gone over some opening scenes. Addison had decided that there would be too much rewriting involved and decided to keep the script the same except for editing for of the more adult scenes.
I watched as we were dismissed until I heard Addison say. “Woody, can I talk to you?”
I pulled Zack by the door so we could hear but not by seen.
“What’s up Addison?” Woody asked.
“I was wondering if you wanted to go get some dinner and some coffee. Just the two of us.” Addison said.
“Are you asking me out?” Woody asked.
“Yes I am.” Addison said.
“Of course I’ll go with you.” Woody said as they began to walk toward the door.
“Looks like I won the bet.” I said.
“What bet?” Woody asked as they stopped.
“I bet Zack that you two would be together by the end of the month.” I said.
“What did you bet?” Addison asked.
“The loser would have to give the winner a massage.” I said.
“That’s kind of lame.” Woody said as the two of them walked off.
“So are you ready to give me a massage?” I asked Zack.
“Even though you won, I still like this bet.” Zack said.
We headed back to the room and Zack handed me a towel.
“Okay so first you need to change into this.” He said.
I walked into the bathroom stripped off my clothes. I wrapped the red towel around my body and stepped out of the bathroom.
“So now I need you to lay down on zis bed.” Zack said in a very bad Hispanic accent. I did as he said and laid down the bed. I didn’t mind that he wasn’t a sexy Latino because he was already sexy. He peeled the towel off my back and began to rub it.
And then the door opened.
“Do you guys wanna hang out?” Alex asked. “Oh my god you’re doing it.”
I pulled the towel over my body and sat up. “Actually Zack was just giving me a massage.” I said blushing. “Anyway now’s not a good time.”
“I’m sorry I should have knocked.” Alex said as she walked away.
Alex’s POV
Well that was embarrassing. I guess it could have been even more embarrassing. It looked like it was just going to be just me and Cody.
“They’re busy.” I said to him as we arrived in the lobby. I was blushing and I think Cody could read it perfectly.
“So what do you wanna do then?” Cody asked.
“We could go see a movie.” Cody suggested. “They’re putting up the screen on the theatre deck.”
So me and Cody watched Shrek and we both laughed really loud. I loved that movie.
After a month of rehearsals, we were finally having our performance. I was backstage wearing my costume which was actually just a pair of pajamas. I was breaking up with my boyfriend early in the morning in the first scene I was in. I think the play went well because the crowd seemed very into it and clapped loudly as we did the final scene. I didn’t think that a Christmas play in May would be so popular.
After the play was over, I went back to my room with London. I laid on the bed.
“You were pretty good.” London said had financed the play in exchange for a producer credit.
“Thanks.” I said. London and I had become pretty good friends even though she could be selfish and snobby at times.
Then, there was a knock on the door. “Room service.” The voice said.
“I didn’t order any room service.” I said as I opened the door. I was shocked at what I saw.
