"Goodbye, Little Yellow Bird"
By: Lemony Apple
Author's Note: Since I liked writing as Liberty so much, here comes the sequel. I think that some things from 'Always Giving' will filter through to this story. I highly recommend that you read 'Always Giving' first, if you haven't already. I put in little Degrassi moments in this story and AG. Can you find them? I'll give you a hint for this chapter: shoes.
1/11/05 AN: Since this is one of my older babies, I decided to take another look… and boy did it need some revisions! So now it's being revised! Hopefully, one chapter per day till its done…. Yay.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything!!
Chapter I
April 20
I got an 80 on my science test. I guess I should have paid more attention to Ms H. than to Emma's note and JT looking at me. Now I am failing terribly!!!
Mom won't be too happy.
I was asked by Ms. Kwan to help set up this year's last play, 'The Picture of Dorian Grey'. I saw the movie, but I never read the book. I am now going to be 'Assistant Director, Choreographer, and Prop Manager'.
That would look GREAT on a college application!!!!
PEOPLE I THINK WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE PLAY
-Craig Manning
-JT Yorke
-Sean
-Paige
-Ashley
-Marco
-Ellie
-Manny
Maybe... just maybe:
-Spinner.
Note to self: Make sure Mom has a copy of 'Great Gatsby'
April 21
Well, tryouts happened. Here is the final list for 'Picture'
Dorian lead: Craig
Basil supporting : JT
Lord Henry minor/supporting: Sean
Sibyl Vane: Ashley
James minor: Marco (Marco is also the understudy to JT and Craig uncase one of them screws up royally)
Young Gladys five lines at most: Craig's little sister, Angela
Gladys lead: Manny
Allen Campbell minor: Toby
David supporting: Spinner
I'm hoping everything goes well, because we have no understudy for anyone except Dorian-Craig and Basil-JT. If any of the girls can't do it, I don't know who I'm going to turn to. Maybe Emma will step in...
It took us so long to get a decent singer to be Sibyl. Ashley at first the play was 'lame'. But I assured her that this was something that could launch her into fame, and all you have to do is try out. She got the part hands down. Everyone else that tried out to be Sibyl were terrible, terrible singers. Shudder.
LIST OF THINGS I NEED TO DO:
-find cowboy boots!!!!!
-try to figure out how to organize who needs to do what in stage crew
-get Emma to be my deputy stage manager thing
-try to figure out how the heck to get all the costumes done in time
-read the book.
