The Lyrics
This is my ultimate fantasy. I just applied to my first choice school and I'm guaranteed admission, so.....it will all happen, except for the whole all-my-friends-bursting-into-song thing, that will always remain a fantasy.
(Two Mock Trial Girls on their cell phones)
-Hi, Maggi!
-Hi, Lora!
What's the story, morning glory?
What's the tale, nightingale?
-Tell me quick, did she really get in?!
(Two more Mock Trial Girls on their cell phones)
-Hi, Kari!
-Hi, Anna!
What's the story, morning glory?
-What's the word, humming bird?
-Is it true that our Ellie got in?
(Chorus of random girls on their cell phones)
Did she really get in?
Did she apply online?
Did it come in email?
Did the Letter shine?
Well, I heard she got in
Yeah! Yeah!
I was hopin' she would!
Oho!
She's accepted at last,
Early Action is good!
(Ellie and Desmond, on cell phones)
Des: Hello, Mrs. Meadows, this is Desmond Martin

(laughs till she falls out of chair)
I know a Kat in real life. Who is in the production of Bye Bye Birdie at school. This is scary.
I worked on a "Bye Bye Birdie " production in the summer after sixth grade, that's why I can know the pacing and vote accordingly.
Oh, thank God! I don't want the Kat from school to know my "other" identity, because that would be embarrassing.
