I don't own RENT.
Brrrring, brrrring.
Roger Davis, senior at Alphabet Academy felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket. He had set all calls to go straight to voice mail; he didn't feel like dealing with too much right now. He sighed and flipped the phone open to listen to the message.
"Hey Roger, it's Dave." The voice paused and replied to someone else, "That'll be 4.50." He returned to the phone, "This is the last time I let you get away with skipping out on job. Listen, I went through a lot of trouble to get a highschooler the main act. Don't bother showing up next week, you've been 86'd."
Oooh, great, this is just great. Roger thought to himself. He looked over at his best friend, Mark Cohen, who was also a senior. At least Mark didn't look like he was doing too hot either. Ah well, it's a start.
Mark checked the number on the screen of his cell. Mom. He dialed his voice mail number.
"Oh, goodness! Well that was a loud beep. I don't know if I'm doing this message thing right… Mark? Are you there? Well, I just wanted to call… and say I love you. I'll miss you today. I can't believe my baby is a senior! Cindy and the kids are here, they send their love. Oh! I packed you a Hot Pocket, don't forget to eat lunch, Mark. And Mark, I got a call from TD Banknorth… I wasn't joking when I said you were cut off. Love Mom!"
Mark rolled his eyes, just peachy. Now he wouldn't have any money to buy gas. Oh god, he'd have to take the bus. This day sucked! Mark waited for the next message to start playing.
"Dude, it's Benny. I know it's the first day back, but I need that summer essay. Something about our vacation or something? Well, make it good. Don't try to hide. I'll be finding you. Later…"
Mark snapped his phone shut. Benny turned into the school jerk when he started dating a debutant named Alison Grey. She was rich and always used Daddy's money to buy him whatever he wanted. Mark wasn't exactly jealous though... it was just, Benny had been such a great guy before. Oh well, better get started on that report.
Okay! So this is gonna be not like the other story I did since that kinda sucked. But I'll actually try to make this one really readable. The plot is just like RENT except in high school. I'll have a chap. for every song from the play. :D Much love, Muffy!
