Stuff I Wrote For School

Moving On: Be More Chill Monologue

(Grade Ten) In drama class we had to write an original monologue to perform. The teacher said we could write as a famous character as long as we wrote the monologue ourselves. So I created one from the perspective of Michael Mell from Be More Chill. I also low key dressed up as him to perform it. The monologue is set to take place right before Michael in the Bathroom. 

Pull yourself together Michael. This will pass. But.. Jeremy and I have always been best friends. For as long as I can remember. This kind of thing has never happened before. Who knows?! After tonight, our friendship as I know it could be obliterated. I mean, he's already been ignoring me for weeks. Ever since he became one of the "cool kids."

I tried to overlook his change of behaviour. But I can't handle it anymore. He doesn't smile when he sees me now. He doesn't want to talk to me. He acts like I'm not even there. I guess now he would rather hang out with his new, popular friends. But that's okay, I'm fine with it. People grow, people make... new friends. I guess it's just time for me to do the same.

The only problem is... I can't make new friends. Everyone here knows I'm a loser. That's how Jeremy and I became friends. We were both social outcasts with the same interests. I still remember our first sleepover. We stayed up all night eating junk food and playing Nintendo...

No! I can't start thinking about those things now. I have to move on from this. Jeremy already has.

Maybe I care too much. Maybe that's my problem. I wouldn't have even come to this stupid party if Jeremy hadn't asked me to give him a ride. *Sigh*

I don't want to go back out there. Parties aren't my thing. I don't belong here with all these people I don't know. Maybe I would know someone else if I hadn't put so much faith in Jeremy. If I had just tried to meet other people back in second grade. It's okay though, I'm fine. I've learned an important lesson from this whole situation. Don't rely on one person to be your friend forever. It's just setting yourself up to be let down in the future.
