More Than Friends...Future Kicks
12th grade, Kim is the lead in a Play called SallyMae (Made that Up) and she's at rehearsal now. The show is in a week.
"Alright Kim, this is where you tell him you're leaving for the night and that you're going to the rally. Did you practice your song honey?" Mr. Hanson asked, walking up to me.
"Yess" I said.
"Ok, we're gonna block it today. And we might have to practice the kiss" he said. I stopped. Kiss? The only person I would be kissing is...Lance. He plays Joesph Lincoln, Sally's love interest. Oh Jack isn't gonna be happy about this. I mean we've all been really mature with the whole situation but kissing may be pushing it.
"Uh-Mr. Hanson, maybe we should hug instead" I said rushing over to him. Everyone was running around, rushing, trying to get in place.
"Kim don't tell me this has something to do with you and Mr. Hamlin. Just tell him it's showbiz, that's how it goes" he walked over to Isabell and measured her waist, I followed. "21'" he walked over to the costume rack.
"Well, it's that...plus some-but I mean hugging is just like kissing except it involves arms and embrace not lip touching" I walked over to him.
"Honey, I've already said no. Tell Jack to deal with it" he said. He grabbed my shoulders and turned me. "Go get dressed, we start in ten" I sighed and walked into my dressing room.
Script
Sally: Ok well, I'm going to the rally tonight
Jefferey: No you're not, I need you here tonight
Sally: To do what?
Jefferey: I need you to help me organize papers. I'm sorry but you can't go
Sally: -laughs lightly- Since when am I your personal assistant?
Jefferey: Since you came to my house and volunteered to help my sister
Sally: Yes, my sister. My sister and her needs. And maybe even her children. Not you
Jefferey: I said you may not go
Sally: You don't control me Jeffery!
Jeffery: I never said I did
Sally: Then let me go to the rally!
Jeffery: You've got things to do Miss Mae
Sally: Like what? I SAID I came here strictly for my sister and to tend to her needs. I fulfilled her needs for tonight and I feel that I need to go have fun. Mr. Joe is right, I do need some time for me.
Jeffery: -grabs her arms and forcefully pulls her- You and I both know you just wanna go to that rally to see Joesph. And Ms. Sally Mae you and him just don't mix! You loved me and you've never stop. Don't let a silly guy like him come between us! You want me! You need me! You've always needed me! Now him -holds her close, forcefully-
Sally: -smacks Jeffery- You're drunk! -walks away-
Jefferey: -quickly recovers- No I'm not, I still love you Sally Ann Mae Carson!
"Cut!" Mr. Hanson yelled. "Great job you guys. Reverse sets!"
The sets reversed. I was now in Sally's room. I had on a long night gown over a red polka dot dress, and my hair in one braid.
"Kim get ready for your song. Phillip do you have your guitar, and ready to play it?" he asked Phil.
"Yes!" he yelled from behind the stage. I went to the side of the stage until I heard the music start.
(If you guys wanna here the song it's called I Found A Boy by Adele)
-Enters Stage Right- "I thought I told you, he'd be home soon
Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true. -walks across the stage-
I fall short each time,
Every time he ain't here,
You and your charm creep closer, closer in here,
Like a fool for fire I fall -kneels on her knees-, with my pride and all.
Like a bomb before explosion,
Ticking by your call.
You're the wiser one, disguised from greed,
And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees.
-stands up, smiling- But I found a boy who I love more,
Than I ever did you before,
So stand beside the river I cried,
And let yourself down...
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
-singing center stage- So, you thought that I would crumble to my knees
At the first I love you, crawling back to me
To whisper -cups her mouth- "will you leave your man?"
Cause you swear that this time you can stand by me. I won't stand by you.
-walks stage left- Cause I found a boy who I love more,
Than I ever did you before,
So stand beside the river I cried
And let yourself down...
Look how you want me now that I don't need you.
-walks over to her mirror- I ain't yours for no taking,
You must be mistaken -unplats her hair-
I could never look in your eyes, -brushes blush on her cheek- and settle for wrong -sprays perfume on her chest-
And ignore the right
-gets up and runs to center stage- Well I found a boy who loves me more,
Than you ever did me before.
So stand beside the river you'll cry
And let yourself down... -walks back to stage right and grabs her coat-
Look how you want me now that I don't need you... -walks out-" -smaller door slam-
Jeffery: -behind stage- Sally!
Everyone applauded. "Kimberly, you sounded amazing! I knew you would! Great job with the stage direction too. Ok everyone that's a wrap for today. We'll finish the rest tomorrow!" he walked out. I saw Jack all the way to the by the door, smiling. I walked down the stairs and hugged him. Then I pecked his lips.
"You sounded amazing, sweetie" he said. He continued to hold my waist.
"Thanks. So it's 6:57, where are you taking me?" I asked. Jack said he was gonna pick me up after play rehearsal and take me to dinner.
"Be patient, you'll see. Go change and meet me out front" he said. I nodded and pecked his lips once more. Then I went backstage.
Me and Jack are 'that couple'. The couple always holding hands and hugging. The couple who when they're not together, they're talking about each other. The couple who just can't get enough of each other but can be apart for a while. It's been amazing here in highschool now me and Jack are about to graduate and head to college. We took our SAT's last week. My play is all this weekend, and prom is next weekend. I guess I'm going with Jack he never really asked me. It would be nice if he asked me though. Oh well, I plan to spend the rest of my life with him. We both got excepted into SJSU, San Jose State University. I'm in for Theater Arts and he's in for Visual Arts. Both of our Athletic Academics are Martial Arts, and my bonus class is cheerleading. I'm also going alongside Grace, Jerry, and Becca. I love them, and I can't believe I'm gonna be able to be with them for college. This means I'll have them around when I need them. I just believe my life is gonna be great.
I got changed and met him out front and he drove me to the playground around the corner from my house. Once we got out I walked closer and saw a table covered with a white cloth and food.
"Sit" he pulled out my chair. I smiled and sat down.
"What's this for?" I asked as he sat down across from me.
"Well.." he said, removing the silver top from the plate revealing my favorite dinner. Chinese food to be exact. Chicken fried rice, a spring roll, and wonton noodles. I smiled.
"Ok this must be serious" I laughed.
""It is. I was doing something and I realized I didn't ask you to prom" he smiled. I gasped and giggled. "So Kim, do you wanna go to prom with me?...your boyfriend" he added. I laughed and nodded. He reached in his pocket and gave me my ticket.
We spent the rest of the night talking and laughing about what we were gonna do at prom. I kept picturing what my dress was gonna look like. I've always wanted my senior prom dress to be pink, long, and satin. I couldn't believe I was at this point of my life...
Do you guys want an episode for prom or do you want me to skip? REVIEW!
Oh and also, I'd appreciate it if you stopped calling this cliche'. And if you don't enjoy the story stop reading it! It's how I pictured it, it's how I want it to go and if you don't like it...no one's forcing you to read it. Go click on some other "Kick" story. Not to be mean or rude...
