"BENNY CALLED THE COPS?" Maureen shouted
"This is ridiculous." Helena said.
"Yeah, show me the law were it specifically says that you cannot performs on a rooftop?" Mimi asked.
"BENNY CALLED THE COPS?" Maureen shouted again.
"Come on, seriously, it was you guys that started the riot, everything was just fine until you showed up." Mimi said.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BENNY CALLED THE COPS?" Maureen shouted.
"Would you shut up?" Mark asked. Of course his camera was out, but that's beside the point.
Roger walked out of a door, and was practically tackled by the three girls.
"BENNY CALLED THE COPS ON YOU!" Maureen shouted.
"WE KNOW!" They all shouted back.
"Well!" she said in a snobbish tone.
"Benjamin Coffin did not what to press charges." The officer said. "Consider yourself lucky."
Once they were outside in the parking lot, Maureen yelled, "CAN YOU BELIVE BEN-"
"SHUT UP!"

"Hey everybody." Collins said to his new class. "I'm Mr. Collins, your new History teacher." He looked around. "Books! Open! Now!"
The class of tenth graders did what he told them. To Collins they all seemed like they had done drugs at one point of their lives. But one girl caught his attention. She had marks all up her arm, and a black eye.
"What's your name?" he asked her.
"Carrie." She said with a snicker. She was sitting with a group of boys.
"Carrie." Collins said. "What the heck happened to your face?"
The guys around her laughed. "Got into a fight." She said.
Carrie had brown hair and pale skin. She had a strong straight nose with thick brows, but it worked on her. She was more sexy the beautiful. And she knew it.
"Well, I suggest you stop getting into fights." Collins said.
"Yeah whatever." Carrie said.
"Where were you in the book before I came?" Collins asked.
"We were finished with the book." Carrie said.
"Does anyone are to answer me without sarcasm?" Collins asked. He knew where they left off, but Collins wanted to know if anyone would tell the truth. And someone did, a shy girl named Rose.
During lunch, Collins went back behind the school. He saw Carrie with the group of guys. She was smoking. Collins didn't even want to know what she was smoking.
"Hey!" Collins said. The guys looked up and ran away. Carrie was so high that she didn't know what happened. "What the hell are you doing?"
"I'm busy." Carrie said.
"Oh, doing what?" Collins asked.
"Smoking, what did ya think?" Carrie snapped.
"What is wrong with you?" Collins asked.

Mimi went to the rooftop, which she usually did when she was depressed. Even though her fiancé just got arrested, she still felt board with her life. Now she knew that her drugs weren't the answer, but a certain longing for excitement and pleasure filled her body. She didn't know what she was longing for. But it was something, and it was nagging her every whim.
"I'm sick of working at the bar,
I wanna be a big star
I wanna see my name up in lights
Yeah right."
That was it. Mimi wanted to dance or become an actress or something. But no, she was stuck in crummy Alphabet City.
"They say that sky's the limit
But how do I get there?
The farthest I've been is my rooftop
My rooftop.
I could go Broadway
I could be a star
By next Christmas Day,
I'll be away from that bar
I'll make it work
Too bad for the jerks
Like we always say
No Day But Today!
They say that sky's the limit,
But how do I get there?
The farthest I've been is my rooftop.
My rooftop."
