Notes: Short chapter. This is more of an interlude. I felt like there had to be something done about a certain situation before I jump ahead to November. I'm basing Drama on what my Drama 1 class was in high school. I took every drama class in High School except for Film class.
Afternoon Drama
Guy and I entered Drama class Monday. Diana and Tina were talking at their desks. They both glared in our direction. I was definitely thinking of not taking Drama next semester.
I wondered what Mrs. Michaels thought of Guy and i. Because of the meeting, Tina was kicked off the play. She was playing Shelby in Steel Magnolias. Rhonda was her understudy and took her place. I hadn't seen a practice in awhile so I didn't know how well Rhonda was doing in the role.
Guy spoke what I had been wondering. "You think she'll fail us because Tina's off the play?"
"I don't know. Hope not." I said.
Mrs. Michaels looked over in our direction. I think she had heard what we said. After she started class, she said she wanted to speak to Guy and I into her office. "You missed class Friday so you need to know what we are working on. Set designing or costume designing. If you do set, designing you will have to make a miniature set. Costume designing is drawing three costumes from different time periods. The miniature set has to be based on a play." She handed us a sheet of paper explaining what we were to do. "I heard your question Guy. I am not holding it against you two. To be honest I think Rhonda makes a better Shelby."
We thanked her and went back into the costumes. There were plays sitting in a stand. I picked up Brighten Beach Memoirs. Guy picked up Glass Menagerie.
I looked up when I heard someone clearing their throat. I saw Tina standing in front of me. "What?" I asked.
She looked nervous about something then she handed me something and walked away. I looked at it. It was a bracelet I had given her for her birthday. I hadn't even thought about it. I should give her the CD she had she given me for my birthday. I'd probably give the bracelet to my mother.
Guy looked up from the play he was reading. He looked at me curiously. "She gave back the bracelet?" He asked. I nodded. "Hmm Connie and I never gave back gifts when we broke up."
I shrugged. There was no point in dwelling on it.
Mrs. Michaels left the classroom as she usually did. Eden Hall made the mistake of having StageCraft the same period as this. So she spent half the period with us, the other half in the auditorium with StageCraft. It was quiet for the first few moments until I saw Josh enter the classroom. Great. I elbowed Guy to get his attention. He looked up and frowned.
Josh went over and started talking to Connie and they both left the room. It actually wasn't unusual for people to leave the class after Mrs. Michaels left. I don't think she even cared if she knew. Diana went with them but Tina stayed. She knew she had an obligation as teacher's aid.
Brian McGill came in and actually started kissing Tina in the middle of the classroom.
I just kept reminding that I shouldn't care because Tina broke up with me. Rhonda and Guy were both looking at me sympathetically.
I am definitely not taking Drama next semester.
