Katrina's Point of View
After reciting it one more time for him, he gave me this look like I totally messed up.
"What?" I asked worriedly.
"Nothing, but now that you know it, act it out for me." Abed said folding the corner of the page shutting the book.
"First, I'm getting some water, you want some?" I asked standing up heading into my kitchen.
"Please." He said, I opened my refrigerator pulling out two water bottles carrying them back to the table handing him one, "Thanks."
"No problem." I said twisting the top off pouring water into my mouth, "You hungry?" I asked.
"We'll eat after you rehearse the monologue one more time acting it out." Abed said, I twisted the top back on setting it on the table thinking about how I'll act it out and just went with what I thought and/or what came to my mind.
"How was that? Convincing?" I asked worriedly.
"A little more convincing than last time, but it needs more work, but food is mandatory right now."
"What do you like?" I asked walking over to my kitchen.
"What do you have?" Abed asked following me into the kitchen opening the cabients and the refrigerator to see what I had.
"What time is it?" I sked pulling out my phone from my pocket flipping it open to see it reading 4:45. "You want a late lunch or an early dinner?"
"It doesn't matter, ooohhh easy mac."
"Easy mac it is." I said pulling down two packs handing him one of the easy mac containers.
"I love macorani and cheese."
"Me too, but I could never eat a whole box." I said as we prepared our easy mac for the microwave.
"I probably could if I was hungry enough." Abed said as I punched in the numbers of how long it has to cook pushing the start button.
"What do you want to drink?" I asked going over to the refrigerator opening it looking at the many amounts of water bottles, cans of soda, gallon of milk and couple of things of juices I had.
"What juices do you have?" Abed asked standing behind me looking over my shoulder.
"Strawberry-Banana smoothie, Apple Juice and Sunny Delight." I said as Abed stood beside me to stand between the counter and the refrigerator door.
"I'll have whatever your having, I can't decide." Abed said.
"I'm having Sunny Delight, you okay with it?" I asked reaching into the refrigerator pulling out the little bottle of Sunny Delight.
"Yep...." He said standing up as I shut the door, I set the bottle down pulling out two cups hearing the microwave going off. Abed reached above my head pulling open the microwave
"Whoa....give me some kind of warning." I said dodging the door just chuckling a little.
"Sorry." Abed said laughing pulling out the two Easy Mac containers mixing in the cheese into the two containers as I pulled the juice into the two cups. I carried the bottle over to the refrigerator putting it up, Abed carried the Easy Mac out to the table setting them down in between our science books moving them to the other side of the table. I picked up the cups carrying them out to the table setting them down next to each Easy Mac container.
"Shouldn't we make an appearance so Jeff doesn't think we fell off the edge of the earth?" I asked scooping so easy mac onto my spoon.
"Nah...he's probably laying on the couch in his boxers watching the television." Abed said as I pulled my science book back towards me opening it where the pencil stuck out.
"So, let's see here, 6 to 24 is 4?" I asked pulling my leg up onto my chair.
"Yep....then what is 12 times by to get to 36?" Abed asked leaning over looking at my paper.
"3." I answered writing it down then went onto the next problem.
"Do this one by yourself then I'll check it." Abed said as I looked at it on my paper after I wrote it down. 'N14 Li2 O36 - N2 Li28 O6,' I thought about it, I started with the N and made it through the equation getting 'N14 14Li2 O36 - 7N2 Li28 6O6'
"Is that correct?" I asked handing him my paper to look at it.
"Yep, not that hard is it now?" Abed asked smirking.
"Nope, I have a great tutor." I said smiling as he opened his book, we worked at at our science homework while we nibbled at our easy mac. Abed looked over my work to make sure it was all correct as I took care of our easy mac things.
"You got similar answers because the critical thinking and/or opinions." Abed said.
"Thanks for double checking it for me." I said turning the sink faucet off from rinsing out our cups.
"No problem, now, perform your monologue for me one more time." Abed said as he got up moving over to the couch and I performed it one more time. "Better, now what are you wearing?"
"I'm going to wear normal day clothing, it's an audition not an actual role." I said as I went over setting my phone on the charger.
"I've never been to an audition, I don't know how they work." Abed said.
"I usually go for a long walk around campus the night before an audition, would you like to join me?" I asked.
"I'll love to join you" He said getting back up, we walked out of my dorm not grabbing a coat not thinking it'll be that cold but once we stepped outside I got a sudden breeze of cold air hitting me.
"Dang it's cold!" I said. Abed stripped his stripe sweater off, "Abed, you were wearing it." I said.
"Either you wear it or I put it on both of us wear it."
"How would you do that?" I asked.
"I'll put it on and wrap it around you." Abed said.
"Do that then." I said as he pulled his hands through the sweater wrapping it around me buttoning it up, it was warmer instantly. Abed wrapped his arms around me holding me into his embrace as we walked and so it would be easier to walk the same pace.
"You nervous about tomorrow?" Abed asked feeling his breath hiting back of my head.
"I'm always nervous about any audition I do."
"How many auditions have you done?"
"Um...about five, six counting tomorrow, but I only got one of the roles and it was for a play. This is the first time for a television show."
"Its a good thing right?" Abed asked with uncertainity.
"Yeah, it's good if I can get the part. I don't even know the title nor what the show is about."
"Apparently the casting agents think you look the role and their wanting to give you a shot at it." Abed siad.
"Obviously they think so if they want me to come in to audition." I said.
"If you get the part, would I still have a girlfriend?" Abed asked stopping me, I slowly turned around to face him, he had this sad expression on his face..
"I won't forget my boyfriend, plus I can say that you were the first person to film a movie with me in it."
"You'll do one of my films?" He asked with a little excitement to his voice.
"I got to get practice." I said smiling up at him.
"I should get to work on the script then." Abed said looking up above my head in a distance.
"Yep...." I said as we heard a familiar voice say 'Hey guys,' we looked around seeing the Annie girl.
"Hey Annie...this is Katrina." Abed said.
"Hi Katrina, it's nice to finally be introduced." Annie said happily sticking her hand out to shake mine with a wide smile, I moved my hand below the sweater grasping her hand shaking it.
"Nice meeting you." I said.
"Where are you guys heading? I'm going to the debate meeting." She said in a preppy manner.
"When do you do that fair thing?" I asked turning around.
"That is what I do on the side, when I have free time, the Dean said to don't worry too much about it until after the big debate." Annie said.
"Would you mind if we escorted you to your meeting?" Abed asked.
"I don't mind." Annie said happily, she always seems to be chimper or someone forgot to give her decaf. "Katrina, how long have you been at Greendale?"
"A year or so...what about you?"
"Same as Abed."
"You seem to be super involved with the college." I said.
"I LOVE being busy, I'd rather be known as the girl that did million good things and on her resume than one that sits back letting my college years ride by, these are the times to cherish."
"True, but don't you ever want to sit back and think of how much your doing and take a break to spend more time with your friends other than study group?" I asked as Abed man handled me to the right some.
"I spend time with them outside study group and classses, I go to all their events in return in hope they go to mine. I like planning things like the Dios de Muertos party so I can spend it with my friends. Sadly, I didn't see you there." She said.
"How'd you two meet?" I asked glancing back at Annie then up to Abed that seemed very content.
"Spanish class, we all pretty much met in Spanish class besides Annie and Troy." Abed answered this time as I rewarpped my arms around myself like I was hugging myself.
"How'd you and Troy meet?" I asked curouisly.
"We went to high school together." Annie said like it was common knowledge and she had this dazed face, the face every girl has when they have a crush.
"Are you always this chippy?"
"Not all the time, I strongly believe that life is better if your happy." Annie said.
"I understand life is better if your happy, but sometimes don't you ever get handed a sour lemon?"
"If you sit there and ponder about the sour lemon you were given, you won't be able to make lemonade with it and go on with your life, I may not always get what I want but I will at some time, just got to be happy for life itself."
"Are you ever tired with all your activities to be happy?" I asked as Abed pulled his arms into his sleeves to put around my waist on top of my hands feeling his cold skin touch mine.
"I may be tired from all my activites but I wouldn't give it up for the world." Annie said as I leant back looking at Abed.
"You seem quiet." I said.
"I usualy don't talk much." Abed said.
"Are you in our Spanish class?" Annie asked as she grasped onto her backpack straps.
"Nope...but I'm in Abed and Troy's science class." I anwered.
"That's cool...." Annie said lightly smiling at Abed, "You didn't tell me you were taking science."
"You never asked." Abed said which got me to chuckle a little to myself.
"But still....you could of said something." Annie said as she jumped in front us." You won't believe it."
"What?" We both asked.
"I'm captain of the debate team, isn't that great?" Annie said.
"That's fantastic....when's the next debate?" Abed asked.
"Next Monday....should I expect you both there?" Annie asked.
"I'm in..." Abed said.
"Are you coming?" Annie asked.
"You want me there?" I asked shocked and confused.
"Any friend of Abed's is a friends of mine...I would like any support I could get." Annie said smiling excitedly and hopefully.
"You can come as my date." Abed said in a whisper only for me to hear and I smiled.
"I'll be there, where is it at?"
"I'm sure Abed will show you but I'm late to my meeting." Annie said as she ran off.
"Is she always..."
"Yes...you ready to go back to the dorms?" Abed asked.
"Sure, but first, I'm going to hit the vending machines in the lounge." I said.
