Chapter One: Peer Pressure
(takes place in West Coast Story)
I was walking through the dressing room, really proud of myself, because I learned how to put on a fat suit like, a half hour before rehearsal. Plus, I was really energetic and excited because well, it is my second day with the 'So Random!' cast in Hollywood. I was looking at myself in the mirror, and speaking like one of those diner waitresses back in Wisconsin, when Tawni walked into the room and looked at me like I was in a fat suit, and as you know I was! And so, my energy and excitement caused me to say something really stupid.
"Hey, does this fat suit make me look fat?" I asked her, she looked at me blankly, and said, "You're in a fat suit? I didn't notice!" she walked into the dressing area, leaving me talking with a wall. I had to say something to take that off of my mind. "Ha ha! You know, I was about to say that you look pretty in that outfit, but I don't think I will!" I retorted. One second later, she stepped out in her normal clothes, and said, "Yeah, but you just did!" Ouch! Looks like the bacon just got burned. Then all of a sudden, she thought I was a real waitress, and orders me around, and telling me to get her a yogurt, or something like that! And then, she spreads the word around, telling the cast that I'm going to get them food, too! I mean, I know that I look, and sound like a waitress, but this is too far.
So, I made my way to the café. But first, I find the bathroom with the long mirror. I look into it, and see a perfectly good person. Why would Tawni say I was fat? Could I be a bit overweight? I stared into the mirror with suspicion, and move on with my journey with her phrase keep speaking into me like a broken record player that won't shut up! Anyway, I am about 10 steps from the frozen yogurt machine. When someone thinks I am a real waitress, I mean, who wouldn't? He says to me, "Excuse me, miss? When you're done with that order, I'm gonna need an extra large chocolate--" I cut him off, and try to say, "I don't work here." I bump into him, and try not to drop my frozen yogurt, burritos, and AA batteries without gasping in amazement. "Oh my gosh! I know you you're, you're--"
"Him?" he interrupts me, points his finger to the TV show poster, and poses in a cool face. "Chad Dylan Cooper. And apparently you're Madge" I look at him confused as he strangely stares at my body. Uh-oh! Bad time to wear a fat suit in public! So, we introduce each other, and I frantically walk back to the bathroom, and immediately take off the outfit. Before I leave, I take another slow look at myself strangely, as if I am spacing out. Then I walk back to the dressing room with no looking back.
