My Own Story

● Part 3 ●

Clarissa, Evelynn and Alvard are sitting on their breakfast table

Clarissa: Any special plans for today?

Alvard: Probably just walking around and trying to find my story

Evelynn: I’ll go to school

Clarissa: Seriously??

Alvard: You graduated yesterday!

Evelynn: What am I supposed to do? My story takes place in school

Clarissa: You really have your own luck

Evelynn: I know … but do I look okay?

Alvard: Why is that important?

Clarissa: Have you ever been to school?

Alvard: Yes - it educates you.

Clarissa: School doesn’t exist to educate you. It shows you the worst parts of society.

Alvard: Don’t you think you’re kind of dramatizing it a bit?

Clarissa: Teenage girls are the worst. Especially to each other.

Alvard: But-

Clarissa: No, I won’t argue about that. It’s a fact.

Alvard: If you say so … When does it start?

Evelynn: I don’t know

Alvard: Which school do you go to?

Evelynn: I don’t know

Alvard: Well that sounds promising

Clarissa: How is that going to work??

Evelynn: The two people I saw yesterday will meet at a cafe today before going to school. I just have to be there at 7:30 and then I’ll follow them.

Alvard: You better get going then. It’s 7:20.

Evelynn: Oh nooo

Evelynn jumps up and runs

Evelynn: See you guys later!

“Getting up earlier just to get a slice of cake? What type of “great idea” was that? Ugh, whatever. Where’s Justin?” It was early morning on a monday and just like any other student, Helen didn’t want to get up. Now standing in front of the cafe in her school uniform-

Evelynn stops writing and looks at Helen. She’s shocked.

Evelynn: WAIT School Uniform?? How in the world will I get one of those?

In the background Justin appears. He and Helen kiss and then they leave.

Evelynn: Ugh, I’ll figure a way out. I just need to know where my story will take place.

Evelynn leaves and follows Helen and Justin.

Helen and Justin enter the school. Evelynn runs behind them. They are in the building now.

Evelynn: I’m here, but … People are looking at me … I better find a place to hide and think this through.

Evelynn enters the first room she sees.

Evelynn: I shouldn’t draw too much attention to myself. Okay, how do I magically get a school uniform? … with magic!

Evelynn gets her book and starts writing

Helen laughed while holding hands with Justin.

“Just let everyone think we’re perfect”
