Subject: That's life part 7 nothing but drama
"nothing but drama""drama , Drama is Life" Ms Jane said I sat there not
sure what she meant by her statement
"what do you mean" Karen said to the Drama teacher
"Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance.. The
term comes from a Greek word meaning "action, at least that's what
Wikipedia say's" she said
I smiled she always seem to be Very Blunt about everything. "so this year
performance is Wuthering Heights we will be casting Key principle roles
Heathcliff being the most Prominent then its Catherine Earnshaw , Edgar
Linton, Isabella Linton, Hindley Earnshaw, Ellen (Nelly) Dean, Linton
Heathcliff, Cathy Linton, Hareton Earnshaw, followed by other non essential
characters for all you non essential actors and actresses who wont get the
leading roles" she said
"I'm going to tell you the truth , if you don't get the good roles that's
because you aren't good enough " she walked off the stage the next half
hour was spend looking at kids who couldn't act worth a damn , how hard
could it be I thought I was only here to be on the lighting crew. Karen
went up she had the script in her hand and began to read her lines.
"Hareton for god sakes where are you going , well since you're here might
I ask you a question" ms Jane stopped her "why the southern accent" she
asked "I cant do a British one so I thought I make Cathy Linton a southern
belle" she said " I like it , okay people the characters are from the south
lets make this English story with a American southern twist" I got up to go
to the bathroom "is there a Joshua Barrett here" I stopped then turned "I'm
here " I said "lets see you as Heathcliff" she said "um I only came for the
lighting job" I answered Karen got off the stage and walked over to me "I
kind of put your name down under Heathcliff" she said "I'm going to kill
you" I scolded her she handed me the script and shoved me to the front of
the Auditorium
I went on the
stage everyone was looking at me should I run off I thought , then I
decided
to give it a try , worst case scenario I'm terrible , well acting
isn't my
forte anyway. I opened the script and read off the fifth page "I love
you , but I hate you
terribly. when I'm around you my heart aches in a the most Earth
shattering
way , you cant marry Edgar Linton by you doing that the world will
stop I promise
you" I just stared into empty space a tear fell out of my eye I turned
everyone
looked at me stunned ms Jane started clapping "bravo , bravo " she
said I
turned maybe three shades of red but what caught my attention was
Brandon he
was standing in the doorway smiling at me I got off the stage.
"I will post the list tomorrow" she said I walked out the Auditorium
Brandon was standing there "you were great" he said "thanks" Karen walked
passed me " excuse me for a minute " I walked away from him and ran up to
Karen grabbing her arm "why in the hell would you do that" I asked "To get
you out of your shell , you have so many talents and you will not show the
world" she said "if I wanted to audition for the role I would have I didn't
need you to do that for me "
"I was only trying to help" she said
"I don't want your help stay out of my life" I said walking away.
(Brandon)
I was walking and bumped in Vince "I'm sorry " I said looking at my
competition
"no problem , so you and Josh are pretty Close " he was looking at me
intently searching for the answer before I could say anything
"What do you mean" I asked
"Nothing I was only saying that I'm glad you two are friends after
everything that happen with you two before" he said "oh yeah, I was a jerk
to him but we seem to be patching things up" I said "good , you know Josh
is really important to me I'm glad everything is okay" he pat me on my back
and walked away "something about that guy royally got on my last nerves
maybe because he is with Josh , I don't know " .
(Karen)
I walked into Joe's pissed that Josh yelled at me. Craig was there I sat
down in our usual booth next to him he wrapped his arm around me "is
everything okay babe" he asked "no everything is not okay, Josh told me to
stay out of his life " I said "why would he do that " Craig asked me "I
kind of signed him, up for a play with out his knowledge "
"you know how josh is Karen , you cant just spring stuff like that on him ,
you're dead wrong" he said , hearing him say that only confirmed me feeling
bad about what I did to my cousin .
(Whitney)
I stayed up all night after Brandon Broke up with me , he met someone else
, but who , I will find this out and I will hurt Brandon like he hurt me ,
I sat there in Katlyn's Café just thinking , Josh came in he walked over
to me and sat down
"you look like hell" he said
"that's because , Brandon broke up with me " I said I must have caught him
off guard he was quite
"I'm sorry to hear that" he said he placed his hand on my shoulder "if you
need anyone to talk to I am here "he said I smiled at him because I could
tell he was really being genuine
"thanks Josh that means a lot coming from you " I said
"so how about those Yankee's " Josh said
"what?" I said looking at him strangely
" that's what people say to try to change the subject " he shrugged his
shoulders we laughed
(Vince)
I went into the room and saw Josh watch on the nightstand I walked over to
it and looked at it's a really nice watch I was about to put it down but I
saw something I t was in the inside of the watch "love Brandon" I said out
loud Josh walked in "what is this " I said looking at him "what is what?"
he said walking over to me I showed him "I never saw that " he said "oh
come on
You never saw the engraving in the watch do I look that stupid to you " I
said I was furious with Josh.
(Josh)
I didn't know why he was so mad "Vince, Brandon is my friend" I said
"your friend , there was something else going on before I was even in the
picture , and you mean to tell me you didn't see this engraving " he asked
me
"this is the first time I heard about a Engraving" I looked felt puzzled
about what was going on
"bullshit , josh" he looked at me shaking his head
I shook my head then snatched my watch "you know what fuck you " I grabbed
my suit case and started packing "what are you doing " he asked " I'm
leaving " he grabbed me then kissed me "I believe you, I'm sorry" he said
"I'm just jealous okay , I don't want you to want anyone else but me " he
looked to the ground I kissed him "you are the only one for me, you not
Brandon" he hugged me and I just lied to him.
(The Next day)
(Brandon)
I came down the stairs Jessica Durant someone I know had a box of books
"you need help jess "I said
"would greatly appreciate it " she said
we were walking towards the exit of the school
"So how are things with you and witch I mean whit" she asked I grinned at
what she just said
"we actually broke up"
"I didn't know that "
"that's because no one knows I haven't told anyone about it " I said
"well there are other girls out there " she said
"I'm already interested in someone else" I said looking at her
"oh buddy , your cool in all but definitely not my type" she smiled
" not you , Josh Barrett" she looked at me "holy shit , you mean", your
gay" she said " I don't know , but I do know I love him " I said "well , it
seems hell has frozen over"
"look you cant tell anyone I'm not ready for all of that" I said "don't
worry about it " she said wrapping her arm around mine we walked out
together we walked down the steps in front of the school then out of
nowhere Whitney grabbed the box and threw it on the floor
"this is the girl you left me for , Jessica?" she said angry I never saw
Whitney like this
"you need to calm down now " everybody was looking at us "You know what
Whitney I'll talk to you when you calm down " I said
I picked up Jessica box "come on Jess" we walked away "screw you and your
Bitch " she said I sat jess box on the trunk of her car when I turned
around Jessica was walking back to her I ran to them
"if anyone's the bitch it's you Whitney" Jessica said
people were crowding us "guys stop it "I said "I'm the bitch but your with
my Boyfriend " all the guys were cheering patting me on my back saying
"Brandon you're the man" I told them it's nothing like that. Karen and
Craig pulled into the parking lot, Jeff came next to me "what's going on"
he said I just shook my head
"your a slut , you know how I feel about Brandon and you took him away "
she said
Karen and Craig walked over to Whitney "sweetie calm down" Karen said to
Whitney rubbing her arm "Jessica why don't you leave her alone" Karen
yelled at Jessica.
Jessica laughed "Karen girl , if you knew what she did to you you wouldn't
be so sympathetic to her " she said
"what do you mean what she did to me " Karen asked
"last year at the drag race between Nathan and Johnny , I was there " she
said Whitney's face turned completely white.
"Jessica stop" Whitney said
"no , I'm not , oh Jeff I didn't see you there , I guess everybody involved
is here , you see Karen It was your best friend that slept with your
boyfriend Jeff " Jeff closed his eyes and shook his head Whitney turned to
Karen.
"is that true was it you " Karen asked Whitney looked at the floor then
back at Karen and shook her head yes everybody started calling Whitney
names like tramp and slut I felt bad for her , this was not suppose to
happen to her
"you're my best friend and you can hurt me like that , and Jeff how could
you" she said I saw anger in her face
"it jut happened " Jeff said Karen didn't want to here anymore I could
tell she was humiliated she turned to leave
"I'm sorry Karen , it was an accident " Whitney said she was just adding
insult to injury
"oh okay you accidently kissed him then Accidently dropped his pants then
accidently dropped to your knees you skink" Karen said
"please try to understand" Whitney said she touched Karen arm Karen went
into defense mode then slapped her Whitney held her face she was in
complete shock everyone were looking at one another I wanted to hug Whitney
but she did this to herself " as far as I'm concern we are no longer
friends " Karen screamed then walked away Craig followed......
