"Alright, settle down, children, settle down. Angela Shepard, I swear, if you don't put James down, you'll take a trip to the principal! Alright, I have your parts."

The moment the class heard that, they all shut up. Miss Narwin smiled at them. "Now, I thought long and hard about who was going to play the main character, the lovely and gentle Pilgrim woman, Anna Baker. It was hard, but I've decided to pick… Rose Keller!"

Rose gasped and pretended to be shocked. "Me! Oh, I had no idea… I'm so shocked…I'm speechless… Really, I can't bel-"

Angela cut her off. "I thought you were speechless!" She said in a high, perky voice. Rose glared.

All the annoying Socs got to be the Pilgrims. After distributing their parts with a beaming smile, Miss Narwin got to the Indians. "Now, not everyone can be a star. I'm not going to forget the cherry Indians who contributed to the Thanksgiving, even if the Pilgrims were capable of saving themselves. Now, in the secondary roles are… Jessica Vertis, Amanda Becker, Ellen Sherry, John Burns, Erik Miller, Lukas DeVerto, Grace Penn, Charlie Matthews and Jeff Barlow." She handed them their scripts with a fake grin.

She was a Soc as a kid. Alicia said to herself. The only two people who hadn't gotten their roles yet were her and Angela. Maybe we won't be in the play.

It was not to be. "And as the leader of the Indians we have… Angela and Alicia Shepard!" The sisters exchanged glances as she handed them the scripts. It was then that Angela noticed a pattern: all the unfavorable children were Indians. The Pilgrims were Socs. She was about to point it out to Alicia, but her twin was busy arguing with Miss Narwin.

"I don't want to be in a play."

"Sorry, dear, but you have to."

"No, I don't."

"Yes, the principal said that he wanted you and your sister to be the leaders."

"I don't have to agree to that."

"Yes, dear, you signed up for this course, you have to do what I say."

"No I don't."

"Don't you want to re-enact the first Thanksgiving?"

"No."

Angela snorted.

Later that night, Alicia was sitting with Curly in the living room. She was reading her script for the Thanksgiving play, while he watched TV. The television set was blaring. "Do you mind! I'm trying to embrace my part as Deer Girl!"

Curly laughed. "'Deer Girl!' Where did you get that name?"

"It's for my school play, jackass. If you had half a brain, you'd realize that!"

"Oh, so that's why you have the feathers in your hair?"

"Yes."

"Ali, take it from me. School's for dipshits like that Horse kid."

"His name's not Horse! It's Ponyboy!" Angela walked down the stairs, also carrying her lines.

"Oh, and that's better?" Curly asked, rolling his eyes.

"Yes."

Alicia glanced at her sister. "So, what dumbass name do you have, Angel?"

"I'm 'Deer Girl.'"

"What? Lemme see your script!" Alicia grabbed her twin's script. Reading over it, she saw the highlighted lines were the same as her own. "I don't believe it." She said, faintly.

"What?"

"She didn't even give us our own parts! We have to share one!"

Curly fell over laughing.

"It's not funny!" Angela yelled, hotly.

"The prejudiced teacher wants us to share a part! I'll be Rose doesn't have to share one!" Alicia fumed.

"I guess it's because we're twins."

"No, Miss Narwin just wants to totally cut out the Indians! We have to talk to her!"

Angela, however, had other things on her mind. "Where's Tim?"

Curly looked at her. "He said he was going over to Dally's house… what's so funny?"

Angela was laughing. "Dally! He's in so love with the poor kid; it's sad."

"Angie, what's so bad about Tim being homosexual?"

Angela's eyes widened. "Wow, Curly, a five-syllable word, that's pretty good."

Curly glared at her. "No, what's so bad about it?"

Alicia brightened. "Does he talk to you about anything?"

"Well…"

"TELL US!"

"No!" With that, Curly turned up the television, and no amount of prodding would make him say anything.

A/N: Sorry, it was such a bad chapter! It was just one of those that keeps the story going. Starbryte, I hope you like the Curly-ness in this chapter! Don't worry, he'll be a big part in the upcoming parts, and so will their parents.
