The ride of our lives
My locker is in the center of the school, which happens to be the indoor part of the cafeteria. After some time I finally found my locker, which is easy to find since It was the one on the very corner of the west wing. As I dump History and English into my locker, I hear a very familiar voice coming from right beside me. And it isn't Kayla...
-------------------------------------------------------------
"So, how is my disney nerd 1.0 doing?"
I smile, knowing that very familiar voice all to well
"What's up Brandon?" I say, closing my locker door to lock eyes with a boy with jet black hair and blue eyes. We've been friends since the first grade, around the same I also met Lucas, another friend in our little friend circle, but more on that later. But before I can say something else, the school bell rings, telling us that is time for class. We say bye as we wont see each other until our first break.
We both go our separate ways, me going to Algebra, while Brandon went to History. While walking to Algebra, I can hear whispers and I can feel people pointing at me , thinking I wont notice. As I pass by some people start giggling and looking at me with evil smirks as I walk along. When I was almost at my classroom, I hear a girl talking loudly.
"Ewww, Vanessa! You almost let me touch the geek! I could get sick!."
Teens who were passing by started to laugh. I just ignored it and walked into the classroom, knowing if said anything that I would make a bigger fool of myself. I sat on my spot, trying forget what just happend and just focused on the lesson. But then something hit my head and landed on my table. It looked liked a crumple up piece of paper, so I straightened it out as much as possible. But it didn't really matter, because it quite easy to read. It said:
You are a little fat geek and you don't have any friends and you are not talented nor pretty
These thing used to hit me hard, but now not as much. I really wish all of the bad things in this letter weren't true. Only one part is true. I don't really have a talent. But I haven't really showcase my singing voice here, because the roles in school musical I played rarely or even don't sing. Nor can I dance that good. Although I really like to learn so that I can dance even better. That's why I take Ballet, Jazz and Modern dance.
I glance over a few table ahead of me to lock eyes with the evil demon. Her straight blond hair and her blue-green eyes look at me. With a face full of make-up and a so called "perfect body" sits on the very front of the class. An evil demon by the name of Veronica. She has been like this since the first day of freshmen year, when I accidentally spilled my ice tea on to her so called "expensive shirt" she wore that day. And from that day forward she swore that she will make my school day miserable. But of course they mostly failed since I had a group of friends by my side the whole time. And of course she has the dumbest sidekick ever, Vanessa. They were BFF just because Vanessa happend to be the schools big gossip girl.
I stopped staring at her when Mr. Marshall came in. But his name doesn't fit his personality though. He is a tall, skinny man with grey hair. And he is one of the most kindest people I've ever met. First he started talking about our finals which are happening in April and how doing good now helps. After that he handed out test results from an important exam we took a week ago. When he stopped by me, he gave me a smile.
"Well done May. 90% on your test. Keep up the good work." He said while handing over my examination paper. When he called out my grade, other people started giggling. And I heard Veronica said "Jeez what a nerd". And a little bit too loud, because Mr. M heard it too and turned to her.
"Well, you should consider that as an example, especially you." He said, pointing to Veronica.
"I wouldn't laugh if I we're you, with that 55% of yours Mrs. Heather."
At that point the class started laughing and some people started to clap. Veronica head turned totally red of shame. I just giggled and after that Mr. M silenced the class and finishes handing out the tests. When he was finished he started talking about some techniques on how to solve a difficult problem, I wasn't listening since I already knew how to solve it.
Time flew by and before I knew it was lunchtime. I've already got my lunch from the lunch ladies and was sitting on a table with my little group of friends: Kayla, Brandon and Lucas. Lucas is almost just as tall as Brandon, has brown hair and brown eyes. I'm just so happy that I've got these guys, even though I don't see them during some of my classes, except for Theatre class.
"And have your heard of the auditions?" Lucas said with a smile on his face.
"What audition?" I reply a bit confused.
"Well, the auditions for the Disney Collage Program, Duh!" He squeals in excitement, gaining strange looks from other tables.
But I was totally on the edge of my seat, just because he said three words:
Disney. Collage. Program.
"You know those are my three magic words so go on" I said , while finishing up my lunch.
So he began his story.
"So I just found out that the auditions for you know what are happening on the first week of SUMMER." saying summer in a sing- ish tune.
"Sweet, by that time I will be eighteen!"I say very excitedly. My birthday happens to be this month, so I am old enough when I apply.
"And I got permission from my parents so they are totally cool about it." Kayla says joyfully.
"Me too!" Brandon says, high five-ing Kayla in the process.
And we excitedly chat furthermore about Disney and about stuff we want to accomplish with Disney once we turned eighteen. But then the bell rang and everyone in the cafeteria placed there lunch tray's on top of the nearest trash bin, just like the McDonalds, I suppose.
Me and Kayla had Arts together that hour we both walked to the classroom were we are greeted by the smell of paint hitting us in the face. The beautiful painted walls were filled with character and paintings made by students before us. Time flew by very fast and then we were now walking to the Theatre room, meeting up with Brandon and Lucas on the way.
The classroom had posters of Broadway productions and school plays hung on the wall. There were no school desk in here, just a circle of chairs. Once Mrs. Menken made the class stop talking, she started her lesson.
"Student's, I've got a huge announcement to make!" She said on a very exciting tone. We all know that if she said it was huge, that means it huge. The whole class was on the edge of her seat, even Veronica was listening.
"So the huge announcement is about your final, and probably your biggest Theatre project yet, and can even impact your future career." We were so eager to know, that I almost fell of my seat.
"So you guys.... Are going to perform anything!" We were all confused. Everyone started to talk about it.
"Anything?" A girl called Annie in our class ask.
Mrs. Menken started to laugh. The whole class stopped talking, looking at the laughing teacher.
"No No No Annie dear, you get to perform anything that has to do with something, any guesses?" She said.
A few fingers went into the air, including mine.
Mrs. M looked around pointing at children, but all having the wrong answer. But she finally pointed to me.
"Uhm, Disney?" I say.
She smiles and starts clapping of joy.
"DING DING DING!" She says and pulls me of my chair and put her hand on my shoulder.
"So your assignment is to do something Disney- themed, and it doesn't matter if you copy something or not. This grade is going to count 50% of your grade. And.... drum roll please." Everyone starts patting on their thighs, wanting to know the most exciting part. I am drum rolling in the middle of the circle, still shook. But once the noise reached it's peak, she spilt the big news.
"You are going to perform it during our 100th school anniversary talent show in front of Disney directors!"
Me, Kayla, Brandon and Lucas all started screaming. The class didn't care that we scream because they scream too. Everyone was frieking out because we all know: Disney is pretty big.
"And the best part.." Mrs. M said, and the class immediately shut up and sat on the of their seats.
"Is that..."
"AW COME ON STOP KILLING US! SPILT ALREADY!" Lucas said very impatient and everyone started nodding there heads like crazy.
"The best group will win a trip on a Disney Cruise and a trip to Disney world." The class bursted into girls screaming and boys frieking out. Some people, included me, started crying. The class turned into a total mess.
"And..." Mrs. Menken continued, and the class immediately stopped doing what they were doing, wanting to know what she was going to say.
"And, as a extra gift, Disney will offer the winning team scholarships to the Disney Collage program!"
-------------------------------------------------------
OH boy this is going to be wild!
Now you guys have just met some of the people in May's life. But who do you want to learn more about? About her parents, since they were quite vague in the beginning? or do you want to see more friend on friend action?
Please note that I don't live in America and that I have no idea how the school education works so I'm saying sorry if I wrote something that isn't true about it.
Well, goodbye for now!
With Magical hugs, Kathy
