After our teacher announced her plans for the room, we continued with our class by reading a story from our English book. Later, she gave us a classroom activity. I am sure that you also experienced the same activity. We needed to act out the story that we had just read. A play inside our classroom was about to occur next Monday. We had our counting and I belonged to Learn – our group name. (I didn’t realize I was a member of a group with that name which wasn’t really what I thought I was doing at that time.) I planned with the members and we came up with this list of names and our corresponding roles:
1. Racine – a king
2. Berry – a queen
3. Afari – a prince who was waiting to have a princess but he was just staying in the palace
4. Dee – a princess candidate (She got the role because she couldn’t memorize well. The princess candidate had few lines
5. Joe – poor baker (Wow! There was a baker who was poor. What? Nobody bought his bread?)
6. Esme – old woman capable of sorcery (Well, I was good at making people suffer secretly.)
7. Carnil – dragon, just kidding, she was a matcher (Note: Although she was my seatmate and it appeared impossible for us to be in the same group because our numbers were different when we counted, she was randomly included in our group anyway because she was an extra. She was also added in our group because the other group had too many females and we needed one female. Other students were absent.)
Great! Just great! They chose me to make the script. (pyroclastic flow-Why did I have other responsibility?) After all our classes, I directly made the script. I photocopied it in the same store where the stickers were sold. The next day, I gave them their scripts. They paid of course. I told them to memorize. The next day, after all our classes, we practiced in Racine‘s house since it was a six-minute walk from school. The practice went well until, as expected, Carnil told us about a rumor during our break. Shoooooooooooooooockiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiingngngngngng!
