Oh My, A New Single...Dry!

Hey everyone! Evie here. I just received THE biggest shock! And it's not because of the information about the songs we're releasing. By the way, we are. One song will be released in June, and another in August. The one released near the end of August will coincide with the elections!
Okay. Let's take our last few singles as an example. Seventh Heaven; Sassan was the centre, with Luna, Fracken, and Angel as the "lower centres". For Accelerate, Luna was centre, with Sassan and River as lower centre. Here is a narration of the announcement of the new single.
We were all called into the Grand Hall, where Ms. Tallan accepted us. "SERA00, the name of your 22nd single has been decided. It will be called Dry."
Immediately there was a lot of chatter. The 22nd single, Dry? We were all wondering what it was about, what the melody sounded like, how hard the choreography was. The A and B ranks were hopeful to get into the main cast. The C ranks...not so much. When Poppy and Holly got into the Seventh Heaven cast, that was already a novelty. Us C ranks are used to singing the coupling songs, which are the songs released under the main single.
"I will now announce the main cast," Ms. Tallan said. "This is finalized." That meant that the entire gig was planned out to the last detail by the management. This wasn't anything new though. The main singles usually are completely laid out for us, although we have more leniency on the stages. "Cast members, Sakiko Mihashi. Luna Remington. Fallon Mackenzie. Annelise Gillian. Harley Breeze. Rosanna Keros. Sara Rivera. Alura Land." These were all expected names. As they were called, the member stepped forwards. The tension in the room rose. Now that all the obvious members were called, there were eight, give or take a few, spots left in the main cast, and about sixty or so members.
"A rank, Team Aurora, Maya Shale.
"B rank, Team Aurora, Reece Walters.
"A rank, Team Hope, Lily Ellis.
"B rank, Team Night, Martine Alvear.
"A rank, Team Angel, Alison Li.
"A rank, Team Aurora, Katerina Landon.
"C rank-" Anxious intake of breath- "Team Aurora-" A lot of eyes were on us, as there are only five of us. Me, Rome, Fiore, Shannon, and Piper. "Romanne Taylor." There was a lot of cheering from the other members. Although they didn't get in, we know it's important to support others.
"Last main cast member. C rank-" Again? "-Team Aurora-" Many surprised girls once again turned on us- "Evangeline Vera." The support was just as loud, Piper told me later, but I was quite surprised, as was Rome. We hadn't gotten into a main cast for the last year, as far as I could recall then. The girls also recognized that the Romevie duo had been selected. That's what the fans dubbed our friendship (ROME-muh-vee), like how Sassan and Angel are Sassangel or Luna and Luraland are Luruna. So anyways, we were suitably elated to be taking part in the single.
Ms. Tallan put her hand up, calling for silence. "The centre for Dry will be Annelise Gillian and Luna Remington." The two girls bowed their heads. "The lower centres will be Sakiko Mihashi, Fallon Mackenzie, and Evangeline Vera."
Everyone froze. Silence. Not good.
Ms. Tallan continued on, as if oblivious to the sudden stop. "Main cast members, Alexandrea and Ms. Ryan start instructions tomorrow. Be sure to check that out. As for the coupling songs, instruction begins Monday afternoon. The casts are listed on the database as well. Pick up your copy of Dry after tonight's SERA00 Stage performance. All main cast members should be present for the performance, exceptions are already discussed. Any questions?"
Okay. I was now reeeaaaly confused. My brain was going, did she call my name or was it a trick of the ear? But it wasn't like my name could be easily mistaken. I felt a few more pairs of eyes on me than usual. What do I do? Lower centre? What? I've never been in the front line of a main single, let alone centre!
A hand entered my narrowed line of vision. "Come on, Evie. We'll all be centres together, okay?" It was Angel.
I nodded. And so we shall.
Please support SERA00!
