Continuous School Chapter 9: Romeo and Juliet

[Thursday, Lesson 3 – Drama]

“OH ROMEO, ROMEO, WHERE ARE YOU, MY DUDE?” Ethan exclaimed at the top of his lungs.

“Yeah… I’m pretty sure you read the script wrong.” I told him.

“Why do I have to be Juliet? Ruby is in our group why can’t she be Juliet?”

“Because somehow Ruby is more masculine compared to you. Don’t take it personally but Ruby doesn’t seem like a Juliet to me.”

“And who are you playing again?” Ethan Asked.

“Are you retarded? I’m Romeo, you better be ready for the kiss scene.”

“I’d rather die.”

“Right losers listen up.” Ruby the dictator was directing us.

“As much as I would like to see you two kiss that ain’t happening.”

“Aw, why not?” I said trying to sound as disappointed as possible.

“Cause we were told to cut them out by the teachers cause apparently he is a pedo and only wants to see the girls kiss.”

“Thank god!” Ethan shouted with relief, Ruby looked at him in disgust. I didn’t think she could think any less of him.

“Anyway, ignoring that idiots comment. We are doing the death scenes. So, Owen, look dead…”

….

“Perfect!”

But I didn’t even do anything.

“But I….”

“Shhhh. Dead bodies don’t talk.”

“Ethan your turn. Play dead!”

“Ah perfect, silence, just how I like it.”

I forgot how annoying Ruby becomes when she is dictating us.

“Okay! Well done everyone, let’s take a break and get back at it soon…

Make sure you learn your lines, people, I wanna see some great acting, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I’m talking real tears like I want to see waterfalls in here, the audience shouldn’t be able to breathe because you’re crying so much. But don’t make it an uncomfortable cry. Owen, I’m looking at you.”

We are never letting Ruby direct us ever again.
