(time skip to first day of school, sept 1)
as i walked down the hallway, i looked at the time on my phone.
11:03am. my hands started sweating indicating that i'm nervous. i was walking towards the gym, where my grade would be. not all of them know that i'm on a show so i kind of have to explain, according to the crew.
my favorite person that worked in the library was walking with me.
"are you gonna stay?" i asked her.
"sure." she responded. we walked into the gym and over to the principal, mr. debruin.
"hi alysen, are you ready?"
"uh yeah i'm ready." i said. he turned on the microphone and looked out at the group of 8th graders.
"good morning 8th graders! so as some of you know, alysen hasn't been in her classes. the crew she's working with felt the need for her to explain why she isn't present this year. i also think that it's a good idea. some of you may know already because multiple people already announced it. anyways give a warm welcome back to alysen." they gave a round of applause as mr debruin handed me the microphone.
"uhm hi. most of you guys should know me. whether it's from elementary school or the past two years of middle school or even from somewhere else. i am indeed supposed to start the 8th grade with all of you, but an amazing opportunity came up and i took it. i wasn't sure if i would ever have a chance to do something like this again. it could be a once in a lifetime opportunity so i basically dropped everything here and left to canada. do i have some regrets? yes of course. i won't be able to spend the 8th grade with some of my best friends. i won't be able to spend hours at my dance studio, prepping for competitions. i won't be able to see my family. i so don't regret dropping everything. ever since i was little i always wanted to be a singer, actress, or dancer. being a dancer had given me the chance to act in the netflix show the babysitter's club, based on the book series by ann m martin. i made some sacrifices to do this so i won't give it up. i've been working really hard on the show. i've made some absolute amazing friends. some of which you may know. dylan kingwell? from the 100 and a series of unfortunate events. he's one of my best friends, he supports me through everything and gives really good advice. he's like an older brother to me. now i'm not here to brag about the show or my friends, i'm here to let you guys know that you should follow your dreams and that great things can come out of random opportunities that you never expected to happen. i know i'm not the only one in the grade he wanted to be an actress. i can think of atleast one person who does and has worked a lot harder than i have. i feel guilty, i really do, but i may never have this opportunity again. i hope all of you guys have an amazing school year. just know that i'm still working on school just as hard as all of you are." i handed the microphone back to the principal.
"anyone have anything to say? any questions?" he asked. a bunch of hands shot up and i was handed the microphone.
"uh matthew wigg."
"are you gonna come to visit again?"
"of course! i love everything i have here too much to leave it! aurea mtpleasant ?"
"who are all of your friends that you're in contact with that have all acted?"
"dylan kingwell, louis hynes, lola flanery, shay, sophie, momona, malia, xochitl, and rian. erm emma schneider?"
