Dear God, another story like THIS. I mean, besides forming out of personal experience. At least most of the first chapter will be from personal experience. To my embarrassment.
I mean, yeah, Cats, my favorite musical, like, ever, being performed at my high school was a good thing. And the fact that I'm a senior and part of the drama club also should mean something. I'm still undecided about what I want to do in the future, all I know is I plan to continue my little singing-more-that-I-talk thing going. What exactly I want to do, though, is still undecided. We'll see.
But of course there has to be a catch, right? I mean, oh no, me getting my favorite role, Demeter, would be too easy, right? See, as a tall girl with darts for breasts and who can barely hit one not above the staff, I was chosen to be the Rum Tum Tugger. No, that's not a typo, I'm serious here. THE RUM TUM TUGGER. Who has to be my least favorite cat-person in the whole damn thing. And now I have to play him. Just going through lines is torture. But, for the sake of my future, and the rest of the cast, I'm sticking with it. Wanna know the worst parts? My very best friend is Demeter. And then, my other best friend is Bombalurina. Talk about embarrassment. And anger, too. I mean, the one who got Demeter, Maddie, is not much better of a singer that I am. I mean, actually, I think I can hit and hold higher notes than she can, actually, I'd expected her to get Victoria. She doesn't really like to sing. Then Paige, who got Bombalurina, was obviously going to get her. I mean, sort of conceited, and tall, with a nice body? That's Paige for you. Me? Well, I wasn't sure what to expect. Definitely not Tugger though. I'm taller than Maddie, shorter than Paige, and well... I already told you the rest. Paige had reassured me with the whole "Oh, you'll definitely get Demeter" thing, and Maddie confided to me afterwards that she'd rather be Victoria than Demeter, but she thought I'd end up as like Jellylorum or something. Not that any ounce of it matters now. I hadn't liked our lazy-ass doctor from the beginning, but now I absolutely hate her. Yeah, like she couldn't pull the guy who plays Alonzo into my space and put me as even Etcetera or something. I mean, God. We didn't have, as eligble roles for me, count them, Etcetera, Electra, and Tantomile. I mean, besides those who nobody knows who the hell they are, such as Sillabub and Griddlebone. I mean, I know who Griddlebone is, but I have absolutely no idea for Sillabub.
So, it causes a grudge I didn't try to form against Maddie. And, no offense if your reading this, but the person they DID cast as Victoria sucks. I mean, she's immensely bad. Here's an idea! Put Alonzo to Tugger, the present Victoria to Etcetera or Electra, Maddie to Victoria, and me to Demeter - or at least a female role. I'm never gonna live this down, I can feel it. Hopefully, in college, I won't have to admit which roles I had to play in which plays. Yeah, right. And of course, our director won't listen to more than a minute of my reasoning, like she's paying attention anyway.
I sighed out loud, currently, I'm sitting at the back of a lecture on French. I'm at a college I intend to go to, well, I'm thinking about it anyway. For acting, or music, or something. Depending on how douche-y the professors act on this new development, because I'm sure they're going to ask what role in what I was in when and where I visit. Great, right?
[A/N] Sorry the beginnings of my stories are always short :-/ And I'm not going to explain the first sentence to the Author's Note above. And this, sadly, did happen, just note in senior year. Because I haven't gotten there yet, I just thought it would help make things more interesting for later on.
