Make McElroy Shine
Chapter one:
Hollywood arts' substitute acting teacher Mr. Chris McElroy
So Sikowitz was on leave for the rest of the semester and he was in need of a substitute and who other to hire than Lyndsey's ex-husband and Eldridge's dad Chris McElroy. McElroy was going to be the sub for the rest of the semester. Tori and her friends were anxious to meet their sub. So one day as class was starting Tori and her friends talked about their sub and what they think he'll be like.
Tori: i do miss Sikowitz but i wonder what our sub will be like.
Cat: i hope he is nice.
Beck: i think we all hope he is.
Robbie: i hope he is not strict.
Jade: i think he'll be like Sikowitz...a lunatic.
Beck: do you have to think of everything in a negative manner?
Jade: just guessing that's all.
Andre: i just hope he don't give us detention if we're late.
Tori: nah i don't think he would.
Cat: yeah i mean-
McElroy walks in
Chris McElroy: hello students my name is Mr. McElroy and i am going to be your sub for the rest of the semester. Your teacher is on leave so i am here to stay but before we start i just want to go over a few rules alright. Rule number one there is no hitting, no fighting, no biting, or yelling unless if you are doing method acting. Rule number two remain in your seats at all times unless i tell you to stand on this stage and act a scene out. And-
Jade: do we have to listen to these rules?
Chris McElroy: yes you do West.
Jade: how do you know my name?
Chris McElroy: i have a roll sheet.
Jade: oh.
Chris McElroy: and if you don't listen to my rules detention will be an order.
The other students:(scaredly) ooh.
Chris McElroy: yeah ooh.
Tori:(whispers to Beck) he kinda scares me.
Chris McElroy: Vega no talking.
Tori:(scaredly turns around).
Chris McElroy: now for starters today let's have Tori and Beck act out a scene.
Tori: what kind of scene?
Chris McElroy: a scene where you play a crying woman who has just been told by a doctor that she needs a surgery.
Tori: ok.
Beck: let's do it.
Tori: but wait why did you choose us?
Chris McElroy: because Sikowitz told me that you Tori are very talented and i just chose randomly for Beck and besides i wanna see how talented you both are.
Tori: ok.
Chris McElroy: also i wanna see if you two could stay in character no matter what may be going around you two.
Beck: ok.
Tori: cool.
Chris McElroy: ok go.
He sits back next to Jade
Tori and Beck start acting out the scene
Tori:(in character crying).
Beck:(in character) come on Miss Johnson i've done this procedure hundreds of times you'll be fine.
Tori:(in character) what if i'm not fine i mean what if i die on that operating table?
Chris McElroy has a basketball in his hand and throws it at them to see if they would break character
Tori:(screams and goes out of character) McElroy what was that for?
Chris McElroy:(walks up to them) i don't mean to interrupt the scene but Tori.
Tori: yes?
Chris McElroy: why did you stop crying?
Tori: what?
Chris McElroy: you were playing the role of a woman who was told she was going to have a procedure done why did you break character?
Tori: because you threw a basketball at me.
Chris McElroy: yeah Tori we're gonna have to work on that scene again.
Tori and Beck go back to their seats
Chris McElroy:(about to talk before the bell rings but doesn't say anything) until tomorrow.
He sats down
Chris McElroy: wait Tori, Andre, Beck, Robbie, Cat, and Jade stay the rest of you go on.
They stay back
Tori: yes?
Robbie: why are we staying back?
Chris McElroy: because i want to tell you six that you are going to act out a scene up here and i wanna see which one of you could break character and which one of you won't break character you know method acting.
Cat: ok but what happens if we do break character?
Chris McElroy: then you're disqualified little red.
Tori: fair enough.
Chris McElroy: and it better impress me.
Tori: ok.
They leave and talk about McElroy
Cat: how did you guys like McElroy?
Robbie: he's alright.
Tori: he's kinda like Sikowitz.
Jade: the basketball thing yeah.
Andre: true but he is probably adjusting to this school.
Beck: true.
Tori: i'd say let's give him a chance and maybe we can make him like us.
Jade: i like your plan.
