"Drama, Homecoming Dates, and Projects"

Lizzie was sitting at the usual lunch table when Gordo walked up excitedly waving a sheet of paper. 'Oh dear,' she thought, 'what new project can Gordo want to do now.'
-So, what's up? What's so exciting that you simply have to wave that paper around?
-It's the drama club. I know that I'm more of a video person, but any chance at directing will help and my teacher for Film Directing class said that he had a student who directed one of the drama club's plays and has gone on to make big award-winning movies.
-Coolies, what play are they doing? Do you know?
-Well from what I've heard, they're going to do a production of Shakespeare.
-Shakespeare, can't they do anything new? I mean Shakespeare died like 1,000 years ago.
-Technically he died in the early 17th century, but that's beside the point. They can do Shakespeare without paying copyright fees and they need to save money because the Musical in the spring is supposed to be huge!
-Oh, hey Miranda! Why are you so late?
-Ms. Rogers wanted to speak to me after class. It's not anything bad though. She just wants me to tutor Ethan Craft. She said you could help me.
-I could. Except my classes are driving me insane and I'm already falling behind in Spanish. I'm thinking of switching over to French. After all, French is the language of love.
Kate came running towards their table with a huge smile on her face. She was holding the pink Homecoming flyers that Lizzie had seen around campus. Lizzie wasn't sure if she'd be going at all. Like she'd predicted, her dating life had been non-existent. She knew that her parents were glad that she hadn't had a date because they still treated her like a 4 year old. She also didn't think that her parents would like the fact that the dance went to one in the morning.
-I am going to be the first freshman ever on the Homecoming Court. I'm more popular than most of the upperclassmen girls. I'm also more desirable.
-Kate, I know for a fact that you can't be nominated to the court. School policies state that the court can only be composed of upperclass females.
-How would you know that Gord-dork?
-I checked because I heard that some guys in my Geometry class were planning on nominating Lizzie.
-What?
-Yeah, I was going to tell you Lizzie but it must have slipped my mind. My Geometry teacher overheard and mentioned the policy.
-How could anyone want Lizzie as a Homecoming Princess? I mean she's a loser!
-Well Kate apparently some people look beyond what's on the outside and let's face it Kate, once you get past your exterior there isn't much about you that has any appeal.
Kate huffed and walked back over to the cheerleader table. Lizzie looked down at her salad. 'Did what Gordo just say actually happen? Did some guys in his class want to nominate me?' she thought. She made a little smile and then the bell rang. She ran off to continue on her negative space project in Art class.
Classes were over and Lizzie was waiting outside the Chorus room where the drama club meeting was going at. She was working on her Algebra homework and cursing the quadratic formula. 'Math, will I ever need it in the real world,' she thought. She looked up and saw Gordo coming towards her and she walked into the room. Ms. Horwitz went over the basic guidelines of the drama club. She announced that auditions would be held next Monday night and to come prepared with a two person scene or a monologue. She went over the grade policy. Any student who had a "C" or lower in any class was automatically not allowed to participate in any drama club activities.
-Wow that policy is harsh!
-Well Lizzie I think that it's because a student who was a great actor applied to some drama school. He wasn't accepted because his grades were really bad. I guess they don't want to have that happen again.
-I guess that I'll have to go and work on my Spanish project. We have to write a description of our partner and luckily I got Miranda. She's really good at it.
Lizzie walked home and called Miranda on the phone. Miranda came over and they worked on the project for the whole afternoon. When they finished their Spanish project, they worked on all of their other homework. Mirands stayed for dinner and the hour of game shows that Lizzie liked to watch. Lizzie went upstairs to check her e-mail before bed. She had 3 new messages.

Lizzie, I was wondering if you'd go with me to Homecoming. I'll come and meet your parents and whatever else I need to do to take you. Please respond ASAP!
Sincerely, Larry Tudgeman

Lizzie, I have a huge crush on you and was wondering if you'd go Homecoming with me. Just come to the dance and meet me there.
Wouldn't you like to know who I am!

Lizzie, Hey Lizzie! I was wondering if you wanted to prepare a piece with me for the drama club auditions. Also, would you like to go to Homecoming with me, just as friends of course! See you in class tomorrow!

Lizzie turned off her computer. She grabbed her diary and started writing in it.
September 19th
Dear Diary, Well I have three invitations to go to Homecoming. I know that Larry is a great guy, so I might go with him, just because he is a sweet guy. Also, who is the mystery guy? I mean for all I know it could be Ethan Craft or some upperclass guy who thinks that I'm cute. Gordo, well I would love to go with him, but I am afraid that if I do go with him that it'll turn out to be a mistake. I mean I like him a lot and more than a friend. What if we go and then things become weird? I'll have to sleep on this.
Love, Lizzie
She put the diary on her nightstand and set her alarm. She closed her eyes and went to sleep.
