Chapter 22
Josh's room is so cool!! There's spreaker in every corner and he lied when he said he have a TV and a DVD player. He have a projector like the ones at my old school and a DVD player. I have tried to me in some extra curricular activites like the security job so I can save up and buy a car when I get to where I'm suppose to move in Florida, but I was fired the moment my fingers touch a machine. Let's just say some how in one touch, I managed to delete most of the machine's files.
A week have past since we, Josh, Sam, Candise, and me,watch an episode of Zoey's Funniest Home Videos at Josh's room. We mostly hang out there after dinner because apparently, not everyone can finish their himeworks as fast as me. When they do their homework, I swim. I swim nonstop from free period to dinner. That's about two hours because sometimes Sam, Josh, or Candise would join me and we would end up having a water fight. I never see annoying-buzz-killer any more. I guess he have extra curriculars after school. I don't miss him.
But I do miss the mysterious singer. I have spent every break in the theater, hoping that one day he'll show up. I didnt hide in the costume pile anymore, but behind the curtains so I can tackle him and flip the lights on. The suspense is killing me. Sometimes I thought heard his voice, singing. One time, I even dream about him, which is weird, because I rarely dream, maybe once a year or two.
" Zoey, your part is coming." Ms. Fwoash said, pulling me from my train of thought. I sigh. Great, this is it, the performance. I was in my Juliet costume, makeup. You heard me, MAKEUP. I had protested, but Ms. Fwoash said that I have to. She even theaten to give me am F if I don't wear makeup. Seriously, what kind of teacher give their student an F if she don't want to wear makeup. She even made me get my hair curled. My hair is fine the way it is. Gosh.
" What, Juliet!" I heard Amber, playing Juliet's Nurse said. My cue to go. I step onto the stage and act. I don't get stagefright or anything, because I was always stared at after t-.
-- don't think about it or you're going to be sick.
- thanks, Meah.
Like I said, I dont get stagefright, but the blinding spotlight kept me from seeing anything that wasn't on stage. I didn't mind that, I mean, I don't really want to find out that I do have stagefright now. When it came to the
love scenes, I almost barf on Adam several times, but instead, I imagine that Adam's face was blank and the mysterious singer, then my acting came out easier. After an hour of acting, I was done and people take a break to let the next homeroom set up. Whoever came up with this idea is both horrible and a genuise. People have been performing all day and we're not even half way done. Some of the performance is boring, but some of me curled up in ball on the floor, laughing. On the bright side, we don't have to go to school or training.
I got out of my costume, into shorts and a tank and wash makeup off my face. I walk from the changing room backstage to the front of the theater. Actually, the changing room is the girls' locker room for swimming. A few people said good job and stuff. I said thanks to each compliment, even though I don't know most of their names. I saw my parents wave to me and walk towards them.
" good job, honey." mom said.
" good job" dad said" but I saw a little disgust in one of the love scene." I sigh. He knows me too well or my likings. Like last month, when we have guests over, I acted as if I was in love with their son. He bought it, the son I mean, and his parents, mom look suspicious, but dad just came right out and told me to stop playing with them.
" I thought I hid well. You have no idea how hard it is to act with him."
" how? Did you have a hard time trying to control yourself up there? You look like you were ready to rip my clothes off?" Adam said from behind me. I saw my parents' face start to turn red from anger. How stupid can someone be? What boy in their right mind would say that to a girl in front of her parents? Is he trying to get himself killed?
" aha! See dad? I hid it well. Only you saw it." I turn around to face Adam." and no, that wasn't why it's hard
to act with you. It's because I can barely hold in my lunch when I said those things." I spat the words at him and turn around again to face my parents." shesh, he's annoying." my parents are less red now after I made it clear that I dont like him.
" I'm still here you know." he said. Dad turn red again and lunge towards Adam. Adam struggle under dad's arm. Sure, Adam's young and strong, but my dad is an agent, Adam's an agent in training so if course, dad wins.
" dad forget him, he's not worth our time. I'm thirsty, lets get something to drink." I said as if discussing the weather, and not stoping dad from killing someone.
" honey, stop, I don't want Zoey to see you like this." mom said. Dad stand up reluctantly.
" stay away from my daughter or you're going to get a hundred times as worse as that." he said. I don't think that's possible by looking at Adam. He have two black eyes, bruised face, cut and bleeding lips, a few bruise and cut here and there on his body, and I think that's a broken nose. Well, good luck with your date for the ball.
" why did you do that?" I ask dad, angry.
" what? You're mad I hurt your boyfriend?" dad said sarcastically.
" pshhh, no he's not my boyfriend. But you could have let me deal with it. Now I can't get back at him." I said a little louder. People are starting to stare.
" but weren't doing anything."
" because you guys are here, I didnt want you to see." I said.
" oh," dad lean in and whisper" is it because you don't know anything about him?" I sigh. I told you he knows too much about me.
" what did you expect? I've only been here for a week."
" I'm dissapointed in you." he faked seriousness. I snicker an link arms with my parents to walk away.
" please take your seat." a voice over the speakers said." homeroom 5002's performance is ready." Sam's homeroom. I took a seat even and watch the play. This is so boring, if it wasn't for Sam being in this homeroom, I would have thrown a tomato or a cup of punch up there already.
------------after every homeroom did their performance( noon, the next day.)
" everyone, please return to your normal activities. Those who have pass the test, please stay." what now. As the crowd dissapeare, I can see Sam and some other people remaining. I didn't realize that only this much pass out of that planeful if people. There's like a dozen, mostly teens though. There's a woman in her late 20's and a boy about 10( wow, 10, so young).
" as you know," a woman on the stage said," a ball is coming up on to congraguelate you from passing the test, welcoming you into Skelton Spies Orginization, and saying goodbye as we send you to a branch of the orginization close to your home for more specific trainings. We know that most of you have never been to a ball, let alone know anything about ballroom dancing. That is why you will be learning the basics of ballroom dancing now so you won't embarrass yourselves as you open the ball with the traditional dance of SSO."
DANCING? I CAN'T DANCE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know, I know, it's boring, nothing happened, blah, blah, blah.
This is just a filler chapter, it happens because I thought that the play was a good idea and having Adam and Zoey acting is a good idea. The idea stinks. I thought that Adam and Zoey would fall in love and all that stuff.
But I thought wrong, the story won't let me do that, saying that it's out of character for Zoey and Zoey is going to fall in love with someone else. I know who the person is. Zoey will fall in love with him, but then she'll fall in love with someone else.
