I'm am sooooo sorry! I'm in the middle of finals and life has been crazy! Here is the next chapter! Hope you enjoy!
PS: it's still the same school day, so if you want to know what's been happening, start on chapter one!
Well…history was…the same as always. Boring, loud and crazy. How is that, you may ask? I know, it's an odd combination, well…just my luck, ALL of the jocks are in that class! I'm not even kidding! They are loud, they are obnoxious and they don't give a crap! My history teacher, Mr. Felk, is getting pretty annoyed as well. He has to raise his voice almost every class period. Stupid Jocks! Well…jocks and cheerleaders which is even worse!
Ivy Lynn, the most annoying cheerleader in the world. Does everything from athletics, to clubs, to theatre. You can imagine why I get so nervous during auditions, because she's always going to get the role I want! It's been that way for years! UGH!
And yet again, no history homework…
On to Musical Theatre, but not before I buy a muffin…
Musical Theatre: A class taught by Mr. Tom Levitt or as us students call him, Mr. Levitt. He's ok, I mean…he's not the best teacher in the world, but at least he's nice. But it is such a nerve-racking class! We have to sing solos, EVERY week in front of the class and Mr. Levitt. Songs from musicals and then he grades us on our performance, stage presence and confidence. I always fail the confidence portion. Sucks…
At least I have Ana and Kytti in the class with me. They are my best friends
Anyway, school's been in for three weeks and here are the songs I've sang:
Week 1: "As Long As He Needs Me" – Oliver!
Week 2: "Getting to Know You" – The King and I
Week 3: "Watch What Happens" – Newsies
"Alright, class, today I would like to see the performance from…" Mr. Levitt always picks his favorite performance from last class to perform again. I hate this moment! "...Karen."
Damn! Why?!
Ana applauds and smiles and me, Kytti just claps…she never really smiles.
What choice do I have!? I get onto the stage, my legs are shaking, my throat goes dry and all of a sudden, I really have to go #2…that's one of the worst things about my nerves. When I get really nervous, I randomly really have to poop. I get it from my dad…
"I will by singing 'Watch What Happens' from the musical Newsies," Here we go. Mrs. Julia Houston starts playing the piano. Crap! What are the first words?
"Write what you know"
so they say, all I know is I don't know what to write
or the right way to write it.
This is big, lady, don't screw it up,
This is not some little vaudeville I'm reviewing.
Poor little kids versus rich greedy sour pusses
Ha! It's a cinch!
It could practically write itself-
And let's pray it does, cause as I may have mentioned,
I have no clue what I'm doing.
Am I insane? This is what I've been waiting for.
Well that, plus the screaming of ten angry editors.
A girl? It's a girl! How the hell? Is that even legal?
Look, just go and get her!
Not only that, there's a story behind the story:
Thousands of children, exploited, invisible.
Speak up, take a stand, and there's someone to write about it.
That's how things get better.
Give life's little guys some ink, and when it dries just watch what happens.
Those kids will live and breathe right on the page
and once they're center stage, you watch what happens.
And who's there with her camera and her pen
as boys turn into men
they'll storm the gates and then just watch what happens when they do.
[ From: . ]
*scream*
Picture a handsome, heroicly charismatic-
plain spoken, know nothing, skirt-chasing, cocky little son of a-
lie down with dogs and you wake up with a raise and a promotion.
So, he's a flirt,
a complete ego maniac.
The fact is he's also the face of the strike-
What a face-
face the fact, that's a face that could save us all from sinking in the ocean.
Like someone said, "Power tends to corrupt"
and absolute power wait, wait corrupts?
Absolutely, that is genius!
But give me some time, I'll be twice as good as that six months from never.
Just look around at the world we're inheriting
and think of the one we'll create.
Their mistake is they got old, that is not a mistake we'll be making.
No sir, we'll stay young forever!
Give those kids and me the brand new century and watch what happens.
It's David and Goliath do or die
the fight is on and I can't watch what happens.
But all I know is nothing happens if you just give in.
It can't be any worse than how it's been.
And it just so happens that we just might win,
so whatever happens! Let's begin!
There is a loud applause. Of course, I think I sucked, but oh well. At least they liked it.
Today we get our new songs. I dread these days as well, because I have to see what way I have to exert myself next week. Mr. Levitt begins calling out names…"Karen…"
Ok…I grab the sheet music. "Dyin' Ain't So Bad" from the musical Bonnie & Clyde. I've never heard of it…
Tell me what you guys think! I know it's a bit of a bad chapter and I'm not too proud of it, but review please! BTW! I need a good jock name! Send me one if you have one in mind!
