“You’re joking?”

  “Acting isn’t really my strong suit” Vienna replied

  “It’s literally the first day of highschool and they wanna give kids anxiety, wow, just wow.” Serenity sighed and took a look at her script.

  “Hey, Iook, i’m the bloody pink cat” Vienna chuckled as she tried to lighten the mood.

  A boy walked closer to the two girls.

  “And what role did you get m’ ladies?” he bowed down.

  “The name is Harbour Cole, and I'll be playing the one and only, mad and crazy, Mad Hatter!” He announced loudly.

  “I'm the pink cat”

  “Chesire?”

  “Yeah”

  “And what about you, fine woman?”

  “Me?” Serenity blinked

  “Yes you,”

  “Uh, just a minor role” she looked away awkwardly

  “Which is?”

  “Uhm, Alice.” She muttered

  “Alice!?” Harbour exclaimed

  The whole room turned around in curiosity

  *Oh my god would that man just shut up* Serenity thought to herself.

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

  “Well, a newbie that got that main role. Impressive” The boy walked away and continued to ask other people for their roles.

  “That theater kid is kind of annoying” She whispered to Vienna

  “Really? I thought he was sweet”

  “Ugh, I just hope I can swap out this role for something else”

  “We could ask the teacher if you want” Vienna asked

  “Yeah, yeah that’d be good”

  The two walked over to the drama teacher

  “Hey miss, uh” Serenity paused, and her cheeks turned a slight red.

  “Miss Taylor” The teacher said

  “Hey, Miss Taylor. I was wondering if you could swap out my role for something less major?”

  “No can do.”

  “Wh- what? Why?”

  “Because I said so, you get what you’re given, deal with it and start practicing.”

  They both walked away, Vienna filled with second hand embarrassment and Serenity's cheeks now a rosy red.

  “Oh my god, What do I do?” Serenity whisper-screamed.

  “Uh, take the day of” Vienna suggested

  “I know my parents well enough to know they wouldn’t let me”

  “Well, sorry, you just have to do it I guess, unless you can think of anything better.”

  “I can’t think. I mean who gives someone the main role on their first day at highschool?” Serenity complained

  “A bitch?” Vienna replied

  “Yeah,” she smiled

  “Anywho, it should be recess soon. Got any good food?”

  “I think my mom gave me some chips,” Serenity recalled

  “Crisps are so overrated, in general recess is too” Vienna remarked

  “Wh- what?” Serenity giggled “What’s wrong with recess? Do you like doing work or something?”

  “Well, it just has a different vibe ya know?”

  “Yes, recess has a different vibe from lunch,” Serenity laughed sarcastically.

  It was then recess

  “This bench looks like the one in our old school” Vienna stroked the bench

  “Is the bench your pet cat or something?” she jested

  “Yeah, his name is mittens”

  “He looks just like you”

  They both laughed. They soon had to go back inside.

  “Are we gonna be doing the same subject? I have English class next.” Serenity questioned

  “Damn, I’ve got maths. Aight well, see ya later alligator”

  *Why can’t high school have a similar system to elementary?* Serenity walked to her next class. “Hello, My name is Mr. Brown, I will be your new English Teacher. I have placed name stickers on the back of your chairs so that you remember your position”. Serenity wanders around the room before finding her place near the back. “Today, we will be learning how to write good and rhythmic poems.”
