1.6 Freak the Freak-Out

Unedited

We were in the black box, watching Cat and Andre perform a scene from a play write.

"Ow.....Ow....Ow!" Cat whined while holding her right eye open. "I'm so scared!"

"Try to relax, everything is going to be alright." Andre said with a fake accent.

"You have to get me to a doctor." Cat said.

Andre sh'd her. "If that spider bites your eyeball you could die in minutes!" The fake accent he was using made it sound funny.

Cat started to whine again. "Oh man. Please get it off my eye."

Andre moved closer to Cat, bring his left hand up to her right eye, as if to pick the imaginary spider from her face. "I'm going to try. Now shhh. Don't move. And don't...make...a sound." As soon as he got closer, a phone rang.

That caused for Cat to jump, which caused for the rest of us to jump as well.

Everyone looked around, trying to find out whose phone it was.

"And the ringing is back!" Sikowitz shouted while smacking his right ear rapidly.

Jade and I yelled to get his attention. "Sikowitz...hey Sikowitz, Sikowitz!"

"Yes?"

"That was a phone." Robbie explained.

Sikowitz crossed his arms. "Whooossseee?"

Tori raised a sheepish hand. "Minezzzz."

"Tori." Sikowitz scolded.

"I swear I thought I had it in vibrate." Tori defended herself.

"The class is no place for swearing nor vibrating." Sikowitz counted on his fingers.

"Maybe we should start the scene over?" Andre suggested, still using that voice.

"Can we?" Cat asked.

Sikowitz shook his head as he walked closer. "No Cat, it's too late. But that time the spider would have bitten your eye and you would have been dying a spastic, painful death."

Sikowitz gathered the props and handed them to Cat.

Cat took them while glancing at Tori in sadness. "Thanks a lot Tori."

"Well, we have about 4 minutes left. Why don't we chat about our weekend plans?" Sikowitz suggested before crossing his arms. "Robbie, I assume you have none."

Robbie started making all these noises as if he was offended. "I don't." He eventually said.

"Rex."

"Gonna party with a couple of girls from Northridge." The puppet said. That got looks from everyone.

"Northridge girls? That should be an adventure." Sikowitz chuckled.

"What can I say?" Rex said in a bragging tone.

"Hey," Cat jumped up. "Guess what Jade, Aurora and I are doing tonight?"

No one wanted to guess, so we all just looked at her. She continued like nothing happened.

"There's this new place in Los Felis, and it's called Karaoke Dokie, and they have singing competitions on the weekends so Jade, Aurora and I are going to do a song."

"I'm picking the song." Jade announced roughly to Cat.

"Jade's picking the song." Cat repeated with happiness.
