ACT 1
LET THE SHOW GO ON!!!
BY CROWLEY
PART ONE
“Have you heard that Jessabelle quit the play and apparently there a free spot open for her?” the girl on the right said
“Really when did that happen?” the girl on the left said
“About a-HUSH THE PRODUCER ABOUT TO COME OVER HERE!!!!”
“Hush now hush now, as you may or may not know but unfortunately Jessabelle....Quit the play which means there’s a spot open for her character, so please at least audition for her if you know at least some lines of hers. LET THE SHOW GO ON”
DAZE P.O.V
Did I hear that correctly? Jessabelle quit, I mean its Jessabelle were talking about here. Of all people in school, she was the star pupil when it came to acting. It’s kind of sad, I mean she was still a senior and she still couldn’t at least do her last performance.
“What am I even saying; I’m only on stage crew, all I do is help out with the lights.”
I began fiddling with my hands, trying to remember what to do next, before I could finish someone came behind
“Hey goth boy, what in god’s name are you doing standing around?”
I turned around and to my surprise it was Lou! Basically every girls crush was talking to me a junior?
I pointed at myself and said “Me?”
After I said that I thought on how stupid of a question that really was
Lou then gave me an agitated look and said “Yes you, who else would I be bloody talking too, what are you even doing?”
“I was um....I was um-”
“YOU WERE WHAT SLACKING!!!!!”
He rudely interrupted me making me a defensively say “What No-”
“Save it I don’t wanna hear it from you”
He did it again
“Show me the lighting” he ordered
At first I wanted to say rude much but even I knew my place, so I did what he asked and showed him upstairs were the lights were
As I showed him the procedures of it he said something even I didn’t think was even in his vocabulary
“I’m sorry, for lashing out on you it’s just that Jessabelle quit and all, and the fact that we still have unfinished outfits and so many other things that I took my anger out on you. You probably don’t even care about this do you know?”
As much as I wanted to yell “KNOW YOU ASK FOR MY OPPION!!!”
He was right, everything was a real bust, and I mean we still need a new actor to take in Jessabelle role
“Well I do think that it was pretty immature for her to quit and all, but at the same time there was probably a good reason for her to quit in the first place. I mean think of it, she probably felt pressured due to the fact that this was here last play, and if she did a bad job people would probably look down on here especially because since she was the star pupil and all when it came to acting, so yeah?”
“Wow, so the Goth isn’t just a pretty face after all now?. You know what you made a fair point there hmm?”
I didn’t try to spiral off but at the same time I kinda got a compliment from it, and before you think that I didn’t care that he called me cute, I did but I just chose not to though, besides I did blush at his commentary.
“Please don’t call me “Goth boy” just call me daze, you know my actual name”
I said a little cross
“Sure why not, I mean that is your actually name” He said in a mocking manner
He paused for a second and started up again
“Well this was an interesting conversation, if you need anything or if you need me~ just say the word ciao”
He then walked downstairs on the main stage and started to talk to the cast below me,
He noticed me staring and winked at me making me unsure to feel bashful or disturbed, so I felt both making me feel weird inside
“What a weirdo?” I said to myself continuing to do nothing of the sorts.
