November 10th, Ginger Farnsworth, Halloween High School
As I walked into the school, I saw a big poster hanging outside. It was for a play.
The Phantom of the Opera.
I smiled. I love the story. I've read it so many times and can't get enough of it. Alexander loved it, too. He's always reminded me of Erik. Forget about Raoul! He's not right for Christine! Still,
The Phantom of the Opera is way better than doing
Romeo and Juliet again. I mean, everyone knows that story. Boy likes girl. Girl likes boy. They die. Cry cry cry. The end.
Either way, I don't know why they even bother to do auditions, since it's always Jack and Cindy who get the main roles. Everyone tries but their only chance is the understudies.
Speaking of which, I ran into my half-brother, Jack Skellington, on my way to my locker.
"Hey. Saw you looking at our poster for the play," he said. "You planning on auditioning?"
I made a face. "Aside from Alexander, you know I hate guys. Yes, including you and Oogie."
Jack grimaced but continued. "Even your new Force partner?"
My eyes widened. What he said was confidential! Even the prince, let alone the KING, wasn't supposed to know!
"How did you know?"
"Melanda Farce keeps talking about it."
I clenched my fists. "That snitchy gargoyle! She isn't supposed to say anything!"
Jack just shrugged. "You know how she is. She even keeps saying that her brother just moved to Halloween Town."
Hold up. Mel had only one brother and that was Alexander. Could it be? No way! He would have called me or sent me something. Maybe it was a long lost brother. YEAH! It had to be. I must've been. It could-
Jack waved his hand infront of my face. "You feeling okay? You look flushed."
I rubbed my temples. "I'm fine. Just a little stressed from Force duty."
Jack shook his head. I could tell that he knew what I was thinking.

To be continued...
Sorry it took so long. It seemed like very few people were reading it so I thought of giving up. But it looks like that isn't going to happen.
