A MEMO TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE DRAMA CLUB: THIS IS FROM YOUR PRESIDENT (AND WRITTEN BY STORY, SHE MADE ME), THE AUDITIONS FOR GUYS AND DOLLS ARE BEING MOVED TO FRIDAY. AS IN TOMORROW! (ACK! PLOT TWIST) COME PREPARED! (TO DIE.) ~Brianna (And Story)
Lisa Heffenbacher's Diary: Keep out!
I feel weird and dizzy. Hun. I was eating lunch and then all of a sudden I was sleepy and Annie Scrambler was there handing me a coffee and telling me that she just texted Hector with my phone that she stole during first period (So that's where it went) and he was going to meet me out front and I have to kiss him.
Then I had this thought: I am SO in love with Hector Ruiz. And I think he might like me too.
So anyway, Annie just grabbed my arm and told me that Hector is coming and we need to go outside NOW to finish off our bet. Oh look, Francine brought her video camera to school today.
Random Texting:
Francine: What is wrong with little miss perfect?
Annie: Hee hee
Francine: What did you do, Annie Scrambler?
Annie: Soon the Electric Company will only be a distant memory…
Francine: What are you planning? Planning is MY thing!
Annie: Beating the Electric Company for once and for all is MY thing!
Francine: Stop being weird!
Annie: Because being weird is YOUR thing!
STORY OPHELIA HAMILTON'S BIG BOOK OF RANDOM THINGS (including, but not excluded to, conversions, odd facts, lyrics from musicals, poems and school assignments):
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD?! First that VAT Brianna kidnapped me to write a special memo for her about the drama club auditions being moved to TOMORROW! (Le Gasp!) Then Lisa starts acting all weird and Annie stole her phone and drug her outside with Francine in tow.
Francine has a video camera, by the way, so stuff is about to go down!
Okay okay. So, Lisa is standing out in front of the school and Francine and Annie are hiding in the bushes with Francine's video camera. And I'm just sitting on the front steps writing in my BIG BOOK OF RANDOM THINGS. (okay and there are a whole bunch of random people milling about and jumping off the railings and eating their lunches)
Now Hector Ruiz is here! That dude who saved Lisa's journal last time Annie stole it! Now Lisa is whispering to him. And he's whispering back. And now they are- HOLY CRAP! HECTOR AND LISA ARE MAKING OUT! LIKE TOTALLY HOT-KISS, EPIC-MOVIE-ROMANCE, MAKE-YOUR-LITTLE-BROTHER-SQUIRM, KISS!
What is happening to the world?
Okay. They are still kissing. Okay, guys? Guys? YOU NEED TO BREATH SOMETIME! I think.
Annie Scrambler's Diary, NOT ENGLISH JOURNAL, KEEP OUT!
HAHA HAHA HA HA HA! My plan is working beautifully! I cashed in Lisa's end of the bet and made her and Hector kiss in front of the school. Hahahaha! It went better than I could of imagined!
They were totally making out. Like tongue. Yeah. And Francine is working up an emergency vlog!
Minutes from the Drama Club meeting (as written and recorded by Story Ophelia Hamilton):
Brianna: I hear by bring this meeting to order.
La-na: Ooooohhh Liiiisaaaa! You and Hector were totally making kissy faces this afternoon at lunch!
*Annie snorts with laughter*
Lisa (blushing): Shut up Annie.
Brianna: What? What are you talking about?
Taylor Lokar: Lisa and Hector Ruiz were making out in front of the school at lunch.
Brianna: WHAT?! YOU and that totally hot guy who was a senior last year?
Lisa: Yeah…
Meg: are we gonna get anything done today?
Story: I think not.
Meg: Yeah.
Story: So you want to come over tonight and watch The Music Man or something?
La-na: SO? Tell me EVERYTHING!
Meg: Yeah, sure, sounds like fun.
Annie: Yeah, Lisa! Tell all!
Lisa: Shut up Annie.
Danny: Are you guys in loooooove?
Brianna: That sounded creepy.
*Everyone gasped simultaneously*
Brianna: What?
Story: Oh no you didn't!
Brianna: DO WHAT?
Danny: BRIANNA! YOU. ARE. ON. MY. LIST!
Brianna: What?
*Danny dramatically stands up, throws his book down, and storms out*
Brianna: What did I do?
Annie: Like you don't know.
Lisa: Annie, not get snippy. Danny is sensitive. You hurt his feelings.
Brianna: All I said was that what he said was creepy.
Annie: Yeah. He found that offensive. Now I need to go.
Story: Hey Annie?!
Annie: What Story?
Story: Text ya later.
I declare this meeting finishedized!

Story: What are we going to talk about? How the auditions are tomorrow? Yeah, okay. There we go, we talked about it.
STORY OPHELIA HAMILTON'S BIG BOOK OF RANDOM THINGS (including, but not excluded to, conversions, odd facts, lyrics from musicals, poems and school assignments):
So I invited Meg over to watch the Music Man right? Well. That was all just a clever ploy to ask her to come help me spy on people (People: read Hector and Lisa) and figure out what's going on. She totally knew that The Music Man is secret code for let's go spy on people!
"So, you're copy of the Music Man with Cheno and Broderick? Or my copy of the original?" Meg said as we left.
"The, EHEM, Cheno version," I said before grabbing her arm and pulling her into a storage closet.
Ah storage closets. How I love using thee for things other than storage.
"You DO know I'm not talking about watching a movie, right? It is all just a clever ploy to ask you to help me spy on Hector and Lisa and find out what's wrong with them," I said.
"No, I didn't know that. Probably 'cause Let's spy on people sounds nothing like Let's watch a movie!" Meg said.
"It. Was. Code."
"It's good to tell people the code first, you know, before you use it."
"Riiight."
"So what does 'The Cheno Version' mean?" Meg asked after a moment of standing in the semi-darkness.
"It means let's hurry."
"You just made that up."
"Yep."
So we left the closet and followed Lisa outside and down the street, towards the coffee shop. Her head was so high in the clouds, she didn't notice us slip into the corner booth. She was too busy hugging Hector.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey," she giggled.
"So today…"
"Yeah. It was a stupid bet, I'm sorry I got you-"
"Lisa, it's fine. I'm happy to oblige."
Meg and I exchanged looks. Bet? He was happy to oblige?
They sat there in awkward silence for a while, sipping their coffees. Then Lisa said, "Should we tell the others? You know, about… us?"
"Us what?" Hector grinned.
"Us being… us?"
"Naw, let's keep it our little secret."
"That's gonna be hard with Francine and her video camera today," Lisa sighed.
"We can just say we were hypnotized," Hector supplied.
"Okay, cool."
"Hey, you wanna head back to my place?" Hector asked raising an eyebrow. Hiding behind our menus, Meg and mine eyebrows just about shot off our heads. His place? I mouthed to Meg who nodded.
"Yeah, that'd be great," Lisa giggled, and we continued to exchange 'What the heck?' looks.
"Cool." And they were gone.
"Shoot," Meg whispered once we were sure they had left.
"Yeah."
"That was-"
"Yeah."
