I really see no point to school. I mean the academic parts. I get why we have after school activities, they mean sanity. Drama stresses everyone out but I mean its great fun. I get to sing dance and flirt with anyone I want in the Drama program. I also have to deal with Cards going wacko on me about lazy ass actors, and politely remind her I am said lazy ass actor.
But I love the tension, every one works so hard, it doesn't matter who you normally hang with because everyone needs to know choreography so people who never talk to me are asking me between classes if a hand movement goes one way or the other. Drama kids are very serious. Serious about Drama. Not much else. Though some techies are obsessed. Like Mary. She's on set crew, Many that is the largest gathering of Catholics and strict Christians out side of church. I don't know why set crew attracts them. Any way set crew keeps to them selves.
"Hello fantabulious drama world!" I burst into the auditorium.
"Dutchy, it's a tech day." Wow some one is a bit testy wonder if she's PMSing…
"Cards are you permanently PMSing?" I really have got to start thinking before I speak.
"Dutchy, I am assigning you to Light booth helper." She's mean!
"But I don't know what Dungeons and Dragons is!" I should know by now that neither puppy dog eyes nor whimpering gets any where with Cards. Nor does logic reason or a court order… "And I haven't seen Lord of the Riiings!" Maybe if I whine. Ohh I don't have to be here I- Missed the bus…
"What do you mean? You haven't seen it?" Murphy our albino like lighting head asks from the lighting booth. "YOU you you ORC!"
"Cards what did he call me?" Orc sounds mean. I don't like it
"A deformed elf."
"Isn't the elf in that gay?" I remember him. I saw a trailer for it…
"Elf's are a species, and Legolas is not GAY!" Why is the one female on lights worse then all the guys?
"Get your sorry ass up here!" Man why does that guy hate me? Uh, Whats his face… Needs a nickname… All of lighting crew does. I shall start call Murphy Albino and Girl in lighting booth, uh Green! Because that's the colour of her cape. Owwie. Remember door… They locked me out! Ohhh maybe now I can go into the band room and glue reeds to the oboes again! That was fun.
Danm door says push on it why is it a pull door? Oh yeah. I did that last year to confuse lighting crew. God one of those couples is making out again. I don't like it, makes me eel weird. Like a voyeur and I don't like it. Ohh boys basketball practice. I do not like this. Okay run upstairs past wrestling room at break neck speed do not look in do not pass go do not collect 200 dollars.
"You took forever." Albino says. "Anyway I don't think we need you anymore."
"Murphy!" The director yells "Is Dutchy up there?"
"What do you want Candy?" I sneak down into the lower window of the lighting booth and stick my head out.
"There's an old detergent container up there, bring it down I want to see if it works for Angel's pickle tub."
"NO problem Candy."
"Dutchy, throw the old lights away."
"BUT MOSES MIGHT NEED THOSE!" Albino said.
"My head's stuck." Wow am I clever…
"Cards come up here and get your boyfriends head out of our window." Albino's gunna die! Albino's gunna diie!
"He is not my boyfriend." Oh I know the next bit! He is too dense/ brainless/ funny/ young/ old/ blond/ be speckled ect. To be my boy friend. "He's too silly to be my boyfriend." Aww she knows she wants to get me in a room and rip off all my clothes and shag me senseless.
"Could we kick him to get him unstuck." Thank you green…. I always kill Mr. Green in horrible ways during Cludo. Oh yes my version. You don't guess who killed who, you just kill them all. Lotsa fun!
"No killing the leads." Candy sounds like she says this a lot.
"Yeah the leads appreciate it a lot." I am too grateful.
"Okay Dutchy I'm gunna pull you put try and angel your head so you can get out."
"Cards you are a life saver, I am forever in your debt."
""Aww Dutchy you're making me blush."
"No I'm not, I could though."
"Perv." She says it nicely though, wow I think she's in a good mood!
"I know you are but what am- Owwww!" That hurt, the pulling was not gentle. Nor was it kind. But I'm not stuck.
"Candy you want me to bring down the box of fake cigarettes?"
"Yeah thanks Cards."
We walk down playing on the plastic pickle tub. That couple are still at it. Wow, stamina. The guy is really hot. Cards stops and interrupts them to talk to Hotshot about being in the pit orchestra or organizing one. Leaving me and the yummy boyfriend alone. No I did not think that. His lips are swollena dn his hair is ruffled and the girls are talking. Okay that's it. I'm asking Cards out.
