I know we rehearsed this a lot, but it never stops amazing me how well some people can use their magic abilities. During the scene when I'm supposed to change into a ballgown, one classmate states a fog machine while another uses wind magic to center the fog around me while someone drops in from the overhead to quickly swap out my clothes.
When I walk towards backstage, Alex and Xander give me a little wink before heading out to the stage for their part. I return to the makeup and hair area so that my classmates can fix me up before I head back out for the dance scene with the seven princes.
"Is the Princess ready?"
"She's ready!"
"Scene 4 starting! Where's the Princess?"
"She's on her way!"
The level of intensity backstage is real when I see my classmates in a new light as their chances to prove themselves is staked in this production.
As I am rushed back to the stage entrance, I happen to brush by a boy around my age.
