Chapter 5 Act 3 scene 1

2016: Ah the smugness of today's youth is only matched by their long drawn out moments of silence and mean comments, followed by more snarky comments and long drawn out silences

"Relay why are you guys not surprised? " I smugly said while painting in a particularly lopsided pumpkin.

"I say good riddance it's not like she could of --". Suddenly a loud ruckus from the hall broke out effectively interrupted me.

Wild-eyed with fro-hawk in disarray, there stood a conflicted looking Jess. I could make out her shirt which read Hannah's Day Care in cheerful lettering. Little paint handprints adorned the yellow creation like colorful garnishes and the overall effect was surreal. I might have been wrong considering what that implied.

Illuminated in the doorway by a stage light you could see she had her hands on her knees. Swaying like wheat in the wind on her feet.

I dropped my paint brush in shock. Wherein it decided to grow legs and lose them in one fateful move rolled off onto the floor.

The paint brush stopped almost wickedly at you guessed it Jess's booted foot!

I nearly fell over the stage edge in my scramble to retrieve it.

But she merely picked it up. the action didn't take much energy on her part.

somehow she made it look effortless even while breathing hard. Seeing as how she was already halfway to the ground. Daintily grasping the brush she passed it into my fingers avoiding the paint with a caution and grace, I had no idea she possessed.

Once the brush was safely back into my hands.I reluctantly accepted the paint brush. (Jess having eventually staggered her way toward the display).

Jess looked at everyone.

" I'm Late," She said and I took note of how she tactfully didn't say sorry. Though when someone looks that bedraggled one might think they feel sorry enough already.

In the span I had been thinking this, Jess had been catching her breath to continue. "guys," she tacked on "won't happen again".

Her need for air made the sentence come out a garbled mess sounding more like "I won happened agin" then " It won't happen again." Nonetheless, the message was received.

Mariah looked up from the ornate vine she was in the process of painting to give me a truly scalding glare.

"You were saying ?" She coolly asked.

Jess looked between us confused and made as if to start speaking again.

Nervously I shuffled my converses. Scrapping the toes of them against each other.

Thanks, Mariah, I won't forget this you're a real friend!

I tried to communicate through eyes speak.

A don't dare think I've forgiven you for last time!

She valiantly ignored my pleas.

Ok, Mariah Apparently you like backstabbing? I should've known.

Anyone who can "put up with me" has to have their flaws, besides everyone knows its always the quiet ones.

Mariah had made it clear there would be no help from her quarter.

Gah, what was it about Jess that took others under her spell.

Even our most rude cast members thought she walked on clouds!

For the first time, I found myself thinking. Actually thinking about it. I mean What did she have, that I didn't?

" Thank you, " Ouch, Jess even had the maturity not to comment.

Great now, I felt like a six-year-old caught taking candy.

"I was saying that there was uh no way..."I stumbled over my words trying to find a good escape plan. a large pit did not appear to swallow me nor did Deadpool helpful appear to gun down everyone in the place.

Probably because school shooting jokes are always in poor taste then again if I cracked enough dad jokes maybe my panda masked not so hero would appear? Either that or I'd said the cast into fits.

"It's not like she" I pointed at Jess ignoring every ingrained etiquette rule about the rudeness of that finger.

"Could have made it" Yeah that there was a blow. " But you eh did ..so no harm no foul Right ?"

I finished weakly smiling. Hoping to find a doctor to quickly examine my pride.

"And" Mariah stressed glaring pointedly at me.

I continued to twiddle my thumb what more could she want of me?

Don't expect many baby steps.

The glare sharpened and I found I became a quick study of the floor.

Baby steps .. Gosh.

I mean no use beating on a dead horse and all that.

Mariah shook her brush a bit, imploring like.

Fine..

No use dragging this out.

Especially while Mariah was armed.

"Annd I apologize?" I tried.

Surely, if that wasn't it, nothing was.

"So chop chop now we have work to do"

I wheeled to the right and started to stride off.

"Ravanna." Mirth tainted her tone of voice.

I admit freely that I jumped blast it what did that, women want!

"What now? "

"The changing rooms are over there "

"Right, I was just going that way don't mind me! Coming through. "

Laughter could be heard following me out the exit echoing off the high theatre walls.

Funny now was it?

Well laugh while you can I vehemently thought.

They were all going to pay.

It's not over till, the fat lady sings
