This camp is a sick and twisted form of torture. They were making us play soccer, except, we weren't. Some were, but Nick, Chris and I sat with guitar, drumsticks, and a lyric notebook. Jeremy Evans sat watching his siblings play and their cousin, Chenelle or something like that sat next to him. Nick stopped our playing so he could write something down and I watched as the blonde girl, Molly, I believe, ran over to Jeremy and he handed her and inhaler. Then she ran back over. Then Nick was ready again.
" Okay, what do we have?" I asked.
" A bunch of crap." He said, tossing the notebook to me. I read it, he was right, it was crap. I lay back on the grass. Nick and Chris did the same.
" Watch it!" someone, shouted. A ball came flying through the air, landing on Nick's chest.
" Ow." Nick said sitting up, his hand on his chest. Blondie came running over.
" I am so sorry." She said. " Are you okay?" Nick groaned, rubbing the spot the ball hit.
" I think I'll live."
" I'm sorry!" she repeated.
" I'm Ben." I said, getting up.
" Molly." She said. Nick stood up.
" Nick." He said.
" Chris." Chris butted in. " what? I felt left out." He said as we stared.
" Molly! Come on!" the other red head boy shouted.
" hang on!" Molly shouted back. " you sure you're okay?" she asked Nick.
" I'm fine." He assured her.
" Molly Kate!"
" Hang on!" she shouted again. " I'm really sorry." She said again.
" I know."
" Molly Katherine! Get the damn ball!"
" Liam!" She shouted. She sighed, picking the ball up and running back over to the soccer game. " You're a jerk." She told him.
" I know." He said, she shoved the ball into his stomach.
" Oof."
" I have an idea." Nick said, smirking at Molly, who was back in the soccer game.
Time For Me to Fly Time For Me to Fly Time For Me to Fly
Nick plan was insane, but we loved it. Molly sat on a bench and Nick walked up to her. I pressed play on the cd player
Nick
The trouble with school is
They always try to teach the wrong lesson
Believe me, I've been kicked out
Of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say: why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
And learn to live "the unexamined life":
Dancing through life
Skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless
For the brainless
Why think too hard?
When it's so soothing
Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can sluff it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through
Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraught-less
When you're thoughtless
Those who don't try
Never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless
Make sure you're where less
Trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life:
(spoken) So - what's the most swankified place in town?
and I hvae to give it to the girl, what did her part
"That would be the Ozdust Ballroom."
Nick
(spoken) Sounds perfect.
(sung) Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
We'll meet there later tonight
We can dance till it's light
Find the prettiest girl:
Give 'er a whirl:
Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
Come on - follow me
You'll be happy to be there:
so, we joined in.
Dancing through life
Down at the Ozdust
Nick
If only because dust
Is what we come to:
ALL
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
Nick
So keep dancing through:
I jumped in as Boq
(spoken) Miss Galinda - I hope you'll save at least one
dance for me. I'll be right there. Waiting. Allnight.
Molly(spoken) Oh - that's so kind. But you know what would
be even kinder?
(sung) See that tragic'ly beautiful girl
The one in the chair
It seems so unfair
We should go on a spree
And not she
Gee -
I know someone would be my hero
If that someone were to go invite her:
me
(spoken) Well, maybe - I could invite her!
Molly
Oh, Bick, really?
You would do that for me?
Me
(spoken) I would do anything for you, Miss Galinda:
Molly
(spoken) So:
Nick
(spoken) So I'll be picking you up around eight?
Molly
(spoken) After all -
(sung) Now that we've met one another
Nick AND MOlly
It's clear - we deserve each other
Molly
You're perfect:
Nick
You're perfect:
BOTH
So we're perfect together
Born to be forever
Dancing through life:
Chris glared at me, but did Nessa
(spoken) Oh, Elphaba - isn't it wonderful?
(sung) Fin'lly, for this one night
I'm about to have a fun night
With this Munchkin boy
Galinda found for me
And I only wish there were
Something I could do for her
To repay her
Elphaba, see?
We deserve each other
And Galinda helped it come true
We deserve each other,
Me and Boq:
(spoken) Elphaba, please try to understand:
Me
I do:
(spoken) Galinda - my sister and I were talking about you
just now-
Molly
(spoken) And I was just talking about you! I thought you
might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!
(sung) It's really, uh, sharp, don't you think?
You know - black is this year's pink
You deserve each other
This hat and you
You're both so smart
You deserve each other
So here, out of the goodness of my heart:
Me
(spoken) Listen: Nessa:
Chris
(spoken) Yes?
Me
Uh - Nessa
I've got something to confess, a
Reason why, well -
Why I asked you here tonight
Now I know it isn't fair:
Chris
(spoken) Oh, Boq, I know why.
Me
(spoken) You do?
Chris
It's because I'm in this chair
And you felt sorry for me
Well - isn't that right?
ME
(spoken) No! No! It's because: because:
(sung) Because you are so beautiful!
Chris
Oh, Boq, I think you're wonderful!
And we deserve each other
Don't you see, this is our chance?
We deserve each other
Don't we, Boq?
Me
(spoken) You know what?
(sung) Let's dance:
Chris
(spoken) What!
Me
Let's dance!
ALL
Dancing through life
Down at the Ozdust
If only because dust
Is what we come to!
And the strange thing:
Your life could end up changing
While you're dancing
Through!
(A/N, excuse the weirdness of this, I totally forgot to add this, so it's last minute.)
After all the people started to leave. Molly looked at us, smiling.
" you three are… insane." She said, laughing. Then Liam came stomping through.
" Molly, what the hell?" he asked.
" what?" she asked.
" what was that?" he asked.
" that was me having fun." She said. Liam rolled his eyes.
" whatever." He said, then dragged her away.
" bye!" she said, waving to us.
Molly's POV
Yeah, Liam was mad. I didn't care. I had fun, that's all the matters to me. We went to the dining hall got our food. We were headed for the usual table when that evil counsler lady, Tessa to Lessa or something like that, put a hand on my shoulder, steering me away from the table.
" Miss Evans, good to see you."
" I sit over there." I said, about to point to the table.
" not today." She said. Then Liam ran over.
" Tessa, Molly, sits with me."
" I don't care Liam, today she's not."
" why not?" we both asked.
" because it's time she made her own friends." She said. " now go away."
" but…"
" Liam! Go." Tessa said. Liam glared at her but walked off. She sat me down at a table, Nick, Chris, Ben, and Bijou sat there.
" everyone, this is Molly Evans. She's going to sit here today." I was freaking out. Granted, I knew these people, but I didn't know them well enough to feel comfortable around them. I was having breathing issues and I knew I was white as white can get. Tessa walked off and I sat down.
" Hey." Chris said. I squeaked.
" Are you okay?" Bijou asked. I closed my mouth to keep from throwing up. Throwing up was a natural response for me, when I was overly upset, nervous, or scared, I throw up, yeah, I know TMI. I took a drink of soda and slowly breathed in and out. Then I nodded.
" Okay, good." Ben said.
" So, I saw that performance today." Bijou said. Chris, Nick and Ben laughed. I blushed, and giggled a little bit. I had made sure to do my breathing treatment before dinner today, eating, doing the treatment, then going back to eating made me a little sick. Today we had Sloppy Joes. I wrinkled my nose at the disgusting burger wannabe. Poked it with one end of my fork and pushed it away, grabbing the pudding it came with. I pulled the foil top off the pudding cup and stuck my plastic spoon in.
" Can I have your Sloppy Joe?" Ben asked, I nodded he grabbed it for the trey and started to eat it. I held in the gag I could feel coming and shoved more pudding in my mouth.
" I hate Sloppy Joes!" it was Chenelle, you could hear her scream from just about anywhere. Right now people in China are probably trying to figure out what that was.
" what was that?" Bijou asked.
" my cousin." I answered.
" who's your cousin?" she asked.
" Chenelle Baylor." I replied, poking at the sad excuse for a salad on my plate.
" she's got a big mouth." Ben said.
" no kidding." I replied.
" you're not a big talker are you?" Chris mused.
" you noticed."
