"I hope you know theatre's not for everyone." Mrs. Waters bellowed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"Well darling, when you act you really have to be in character and everything has to flow...."
I didn't hear the rest because I was thinking. Mrs. Waters is like obsessed with everything theatre. There is no way I'm gonna pull off any role in this play. I'm not that type. I'm shy and shy people definetly don't act. It's not like "I" signed up for this. It's all mom's fault. Its such a coincidence that mom had to be talking to Mrs. Waters about how shy I am and how she wants me to break out of my shell. What I want to know is why. Why now does she want me to break out of my shell. I've been shy for 15 years and I was fine, perfectly fine.
Sasha Morris never imagined herself on stage doing a major role in a play. At first Sasha hates every part about being a "thespian", but as things go along she begins to like theatre, she learns to accept herself, and she's no longer afraid to express her ideas. Like Mrs. Waters would say, Acting puts you out there in the open with millions of eyes watching your every move and sometimes it's for the better and sometimes it's for the worst.

To find love and be able to trust again? I don't know, but I hope so. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A BRIEF SCENE FROM JHO: I hear my phone making a noise and I walk towards it, maybe it's one of my friends needing something. I click on my messages and it's an anonymous text, 'Wouldn't you like to take revenge on your brother's girlfriend?' the message reads. I look outside my window to see if someone's there but I don't see anyone. 'Who is this?' I text back. 'Isn't it obvious?' The message appears after a few seconds. I dial the anonymous number to find out who's doing this but I go directly to voice mail. What the hell? I close my window's curtains just in case someone is indeed out there and I sit down in front of my desk for a couple of minutes. Who could possibly send me this? Maybe the same guy who send the photos to Derek. But I won't ask him today, he's already upset enough by what happened.Complete
