Adopted by Heathers Cast

Honey, Whatcha Waiting For?

I was sorting through my clothes, trying to find a sufficient Olive costume. All the blocking had been done, everyone was off book, it was just 1 week until the show. 

And something else big had happened. I had officially gotten adopted, earlier than expected. Elle McLemore was my mother. We didn't make a huge deal of it, we just threw a small party and redecorated my room. The biggest party would be the cast party, which would be at my house. And my 13th birthday party, which was the Monday after the show.

"Don't get drunk on Sunday." Ryan said. "You're too young for that." 

"Calm down, Dad. None of us are old enough to drink."

Ryan stared at me, and said, "Did-did you just call me Dad?" I nodded, and Ryan picked me up and spun me around. "SHE CALLED ME DAD!" Ryan yelled.

"You, Jessica, and Katie are my other parents, besides Elle, of course." 

"So what are you calling them? Mom 2 and Mom 3?" Evan said. 

"I consider them my aunts. But I'm calling everyone by their first names because it's weird." I laughed.  

Elle walked in, picked me up, and said, "Hi Sunshine!" I giggled, and Elle put me back down on the floor and tickled me until I couldn't breathe. 

"Seriously, costume check is today and I don't have a costume. We need to get our own this year." 

Elle looked at the sheet that had the costumes on it, and said, "Jessica, will your overalls fit Catlynn?" Jessica stared at Elle, and said, "Why does she need them?" 

"For the show!" Ryan screamed. 

Jessica handed Elle her overalls and Elle handed me a pink shirt. "Go put it on and meet me in the car."

I put on the overalls and the shirt, and put my hair in pigtails. Then I grabbed my water and went out to Elle's car.

"You look so cute!" Jessica said. 

"Thanks. Can someone teach me how to put on a mic? It's my first time." Elle said, "We'll show you before your first show. Good luck at rehearsal, Sunshine!" 

I hopped out of the car and said, "Bye!"

I was the first person there. A few minutes later, Lachlan tapped me on the shoulder, wearing a suit and tie.

"You look ridiculous." I laughed, then got up and hugged him. "You should see Emily and Francesca. They went all out." he said. 

"They have the craziest costumes. Wait, are they here?" I asked. 

Emily skipped in wearing a blazer with a ridiculous amount of pins on it, a red tie, and some khaki shorts. She waved to us and went up to the booth to put on her mic. 

Cesca came in wearing a tie-dye shirt and some plaid shorts. She had mismatched socks, and one of her shoes was red and the other was orange. Her hair was tied back in a bun and hidden with a bicycle helmet.

"You're so cute!" Cesca said when she saw me. We hugged, and she went up to the booth with Emily.

"I'm gonna greet everyone before I put on my mic." I said, and Lachlan agreed. Elliott slammed the door, wearing a gray flannel and red Converse. Then Erin came in, wearing a very pretty dress. 

"Fritos! M&Ms! Oreos! All for one dollar!" I heard, and Victor ran in wearing a Boy Scout uniform. We all laughed.

"Shut up. My dad used to be a Boy Scout."

"So that's why I'm sneezing!" Emily said from the booth. 

"Dust does not travel that far." Victor said. To me, he said, "Your overalls look a little big for you." I chuckled, and said, "They belong to Jessica. She's gonna kill me if I don't give them back."

"She plays Heather Chandler." Erin said. "More like you kill her!" Everyone laughed, and the Charleston sisters came in. Drew wore a suit that was too big for her, and Basil wore a red school uniform. We all went up to the booth, and got our mics.

"Mic check!" our director said. "I'm going left to right." I was sitting in between Lachlan and Cesca, and I was going third. 

"Emily?"

Emily shyly said, "Hi!" in her mic.

"Lachlan?"

"What's up, epic gamers?" he said. We all laughed.

"Catlynn?"

I looked at Erin, and yelled, "HONEY WHATCHA WAITING FOR? WELCOME TO MY CANDY STORE! TIME FOR YOU TO PROVE YOU'RE NOT A LOSER ANYMORE! THEN STEP INTO MY CANDY STORE!"

Erin applauded, and so did everyone else. 

"Francesca?"

"Apple juice please!" she yelled.

"Erin?"

"SHUT UP HEATHER!" she yelled, and I laughed my butt off.

"Elliott?"

"I don't know!" she said. 

"Victor?"

"Cat's a nerd." he said, and I slapped him.

"Drew?"

"Tell Basil to stop touching me!" Drew yelled.

"I'm not touching her!" Basil said in response.  

Mic check was over and we got in position for the opening number.

I can't wait for my family to see it.
