Sleepover At Sikowitz's

Arielle's shoes tap on the floor, headphones on her head as she rewatches the trailer for Red, White, And Royal Blue for the nineteenth time. Sikowitz snaps his fingers in front of her face but she doesn't react. "What did we say about her being gay in here?" He asks as Jade pulls the headphones from Arielle's head as she groans.

"Babes, we should read the book together and try to do it at all the places they did it." Arielle turns to Beck and Jade. "Does she even know I'm here?" Sikowitz snaps his fingers again.

"Hey, bro, long time no see." She dabs him up as he shakes his head. "Watch the scene." He said and Arielle nods watching the scene between Tori and André when he interrupts her to give her the biggest fright of her life. "You scared the fudge out of me!" Tori calls from the ground. "Why did you stop crying? You were playing the role of a crying woman and now you're not crying anymore." He got down on his knees and Arielle rolled her eyes. "Why did you break character?" He asks before telling them to take their seats.

"I'm trying to teach you kids about method acting and that means whatever character you're playing, you must stay in that character the entire time." Sikowitz explains and Arielle raises her hand. "What now?"

"Okay no need to be sassy but real actors don't method act. It's dangerous because you start to lose yourself to your character and therefore won't be able to tell who you are and who your character is." He throws a slice of pizza in her face.

The bell rings and Arielle eats the face pizza as she gets up. "Until tomorrow." Sikowitz sits down, super depressed when the rest stays behind but Arielle leaves before Jade pulls her back. "I hate my life." She continues eating her pizza. "We think method acting is dumb." Robbie said, trying to break the news in a nice way. "Of course you think method acting is dumb. It's too challenging for you." Arielle knew Sikowitz was bating them but she hated when people told her she couldn't do something.

"I really don't think that's the issue." Jade said when Arielle sat between her legs. "Staying in character, no matter what happens is something only professional actors can pull off." Sikowitz looks away. "When you say professional actors, do you mean Jared Leto? I don't respect him and his cat costume." Arielle cringed but Sikowitz kept talking. "Sometimes I forget you're all just children, you know, amateurs." Sikowitz let's the word fall out of his mouth like soap. "He called us amateurs!" Cat gasped. "Your whack-job teacher just called all y'all out." Arielle hits Rex in the face with her foot.

"Mad woman!" He called. "Aw, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your amateur feelings." Sikowitz rests a hand on his head. "He did it again!" Cat gasps. "I really don't think method acting is all that hard, if Jared Leto can do it, anyone can do it." Beck speaks up. "Then I issue a challenge!" Sikowitz jumps up.

"What kind of challenge?" Tori picks up her bag. "Who wants to have a sleepover at my house?" Sikowitz raises his hand and Jade gets up. "I do." She raises her hand as Arielle groans, pulling her down. "I'm scared he's gonna touch our naughty bits." She whispered. "Oh come on, you don't wanna see where this lunatic lives?" Jade looks down at her. Arielle shakes her head.

"No offense," she looks up at Sikowitz. "None taken, I savor your bitterness like a sweet, rancid cream sauce." Sikowitz looks down at her. "That's such a child molester thing to say." Arielle cringes. "All of you will show up at my house on Friday at 8/7 central. Each of you will he playing a distinct character, and you must stay in that character until Saturday morning." Sikowitz explains. "And what happens if we break?" André asks. "You will be immediately banished from my home." Sikowitz.
