Un-pretty and Fat

Parts, Lines & Almost Kisses: Part 2

It was Wednesday after noon. I'm in drama and we're going over the lines and different parts for 'Les Miserable'.

We're doing the scenes in order. And it was getting close to mine and Jesus' part where we become a... "couple".

Ms. Hill called everybody up who was in the scene. So it was the girl who plays Eponine, Jesus, and me. The part where Marius is talking to Cosette through the gate and Eponine was watching them.

"Okay everybody!... Places!" Ms. Hill said. "Aaand... Action!"

We started doing our parts and singing what we were supposed to be singing.

As we were practicing, Jesus came up to the fake gate we had to separate us from each other in the 'Heartful of Love' scene where Marius really meets Cosette for the first time. Also when Eponine was singing about how Marius would never talk to her the way he was to Cosette.

As we about half way through the scene, Jesus kind of hesitated on singing a part. Ms. Hill cut us off.

"Cut!... Are you okay Jesus?" She asked him.

"Yeah. Sorry. I just had a brain fart." He said a bit nervously.

"Well it's okay. Let's run it again." She said and continued. "Places! From the top..... Action!"

We began again.

***** 15 minutes later *****

"Cut!" Ms. Hill said and sighed. She started walking around and then looked at her watch.

We all kind of stood there just staring.

"So uh... It's already almost 6. So.... go ahead and go home guys and we'll practice this scene firs thing tomorrow after school okay?" She said and we all nodded. "Okay... Perfect.... Jesus, don't forget to practice your lines and remember them okay?"

"Will do Ms. Hill. I'll do it straight when I get home." He said as he was grabbing his back pack.

We all started heading out of the PAC. When I was walking, I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Jesus standing behind me.

"Oh! Hi." I said a bit startled.

"Oh. Sorry. Didn't mean to startle you." He said.

"It's okay.... Are you okay? Did you need help with something?" I asked him.

"Actually... Yeah.... I kiinda need help with my lines... if you... couldn't notice..." He said and chuckled.

I laughed a bit.

"Uh... Okay... When do you want to practice?" I asked him.

"Oh uh... That's the thing... I kinda wanted to practice like... now...."

I stopped and looked at him.

"Now?" I asked him.

"Yeah... Well not like now now, but like.... you come over to my house now."

When he said that, I felt my heart skip a beat.

"Y-you want m-me to c-come over?" I stuttered and cleared my throat.

He laughed a bit. "Yeah."

"Oh. Okay... Well... I-I'm gunna have to tell m-my mom first."

"Go ahead. I'll wait for you in my car." He said and walked towards a near car and got in it.

Oh gosh... He drives?... That's so hot....

After he got in the car, I got my phone and called my mom.
