"Attention everyone!" Everyone in the room turned and fell silent when they saw Principal Nickolas on stage.
"First of all, I want to thank the party team…" There was a murmur.
"Who's on the party team?" someone asked. The principal cleared her throat to calm the room down. Once it was quiet again, she continued her story and didn't respond to the question from one of her students.
"But there are ten students who have proven that they're willing to do anything for their friends so…" Michelle pulled the sheet away and seven tiaras and three crowns appeared, all lying on a matching colored velvet pillow.
"Wow!" The audience was impressed.
"When I call your name, I want you to get on stage," the principal said. The students waited.
"Jeremy Walker!" Jeremy walked onto the stage like a penguin, making everyone in the audience laugh.
"Jeremy always makes everyone laugh, even when things seem bleak." Michelle handed the crown with the emerald crystal to Principal Nickolas. She placed the crown on Jeremy's head.
"Nikki Simon!" Nikki hesitantly walked onto the stage.
"Nikki is intelligent and never hesitates when people ask her for help or tutoring." Michelle handed the tiara to Principal Nickolas. The amber crystal was set in the middle of a silver heart. The principal took the tiara and placed it on Nikki's head. Nikki stood next to Jeremy and took his hand.
"Skylar Jackson!" Skylar walked towards the stage but hesitated before the steps. Nikki and Jeremy nodded encouragingly at her.
"Skylar is friendly and won't say a bad word about anyone without a good reason." Michelle picked up the tiara with the aquamarine crystal and handed it to Principal Nickolas. The principal took the tiara with both hands and placed it on Skylar's head. She joined her friends and took Nikki's other hand.
"Emma Johnson!" Emma walked onto the stage with her head held high.
"Emma is loyal and gives advice when she can, has a strong opinion but is always open to feedback." Michelle took the tiara with the peridot crystal from the pillow and handed it to Principal Nickolas. She placed the tiara on Emma's head.
"Jake Matthews!" Jake walked onto the stage and gave Michelle a pat on the shoulder.
"Jake can be a hothead but knows how to keep his cool when he has to." Michelle gave the crown with the sapphire crystal to Principal Nickolas. She also placed the crown on Jake's head. Jake walked over to the others and took Emma's hand.
"Auriana Williams!" Auriana walked onto the stage with a smile.
"Auriana is not likely to be caught in a lie. She is honest and always has the best interests of everyone at heart." Michelle picked up the tiara with the rose quartz crystal that was set in a silver heart like the others and handed it to Principal Nickolas. She took it with a smile and placed the tiara on Auriana's head. Auriana walked over to Jake, who put an arm around her waist.
"Renee Dawson!" Renee walked onto the stage with her head held high.
"Renee is very fashionable and generous. She will never make a fuss when people ask her for something." Michelle took the tiara with the citrine crystal from the pillow and handed it to Principal Nickolas. The principal placed the tiara on Renee's head. Renee walked over to Auriana and took Auriana's hand in hers.
"Scarlet Carson!" She looked surprised but walked to the stage where her friends were already waiting for her.
"Scarlet is the most athletic of the group. She always makes time for her friends. She will take on any new challenge without a doubt." Michelle handed the tiara with the ruby crystal to Principal Nickolas. She took it and placed the tiara on Scarlet's head.
"The last two are also the king and queen of the school dance," Michelle said, "Jimmy Bender and Brooke Taylor!" I grabbed Brooke's hand and pulled her onto the stage.
"Jimmy tries to see the positive in everything. He is good with words and he is not easily angered…but once you have him angry, it's best to make yourself scarce. He is not someone who holds a grudge and is quick to forgive people. He believes that you should give people multiple chances to bring out the best in them. Brooke does like a party. She is an excellent chef and knows how to cheer everyone up when things are looking down. She is always cheerful and friendly. The only thing she can't stand is when innocent people are wronged." Michelle handed the crown with the onyx crystal to Tina and grabbed the tiara with the amethyst crystal. They placed the tiara and crown on Brooke's head and mine at the same time. Brooke and I walked over to the others and closed the line. Scarlet took Brooke's hand while I put my arm around Brooke.
"Time for a picture!" Michelle said. The boys and I sat on the edge of the stage and put our arms around each other. The girls stood behind us and did the same. The lights suddenly went out and the music stopped abruptly.
