Alright. I admit it.

I know she likes me. I understand that completely. And when I kissed her? There was definitely something. And I've told her things I never really told anyone else, and it's not all over school yet. So I think things with Carly are pretty safe, and I'm really comfortable with that. I am.

But that play... drove me out... of my freakin' mindJust... I ( Read more... )

...I don't think I screwed anything up. I don't know how good I was, since everyone is going to tell me that I was good even if I sucked, but I think I did everything the way that I was supposed to. If I didn't, I'm sure someone will be happy to talk about it behind my back tomorrow, just like how everyone was whispering about me backstage.

I've been told that not only could you move back the curtain and see me talking to Sam, but that I was acting 'a little pushy' too. And since being pushy isn't really my thing as much as Sam probably thinks it is, that's bad. He's going to end up afraid of me, and I'm going to hate myself for driving away the cute boy with too many stupid words.

Oh crap, did I just call him the cute boy?

I'm losing it. I know I had a long night and everything, but I think I've completely lost touch with reality now.

I let everyone else go out first, knowing that if I was in the front of the line, all the parents and teachers would make small talk and throw fake compliments at me while they waited for their ( ... )

"Hey."

"Hey."

"Hi."

Sam is so weird. He's mean to me and he's weird. And he's trying not to be mad. He thinks I don't know. I know. I'm ten, not stupid. Duh.

He's upset because that boy kissed Carly, I bet. Or something like that. Sam gets mad over little things and then pretends he isn't because he thinks that makes it better because he doesn't like getting mad. And for that? He's weird. Weird and strange and mean because he keeps getting mad at me for asking.

"Thanks for waiting."

"No problem."

"That was um..." What am I supposed to say? Uh oh. "Really really good." Yeah, that's it.

"I wasn't even bored." I really wasn't. Even at some parts that were sort of boring, it wasn't too bad. But then there were some parts that seemed sort of dumb. So I was bored for those. But she did good.

And Sam's giving me the look like he's mad at me again. What? I'm not doing anything wrong. I told your girlfriend nice things. You're the one getting all mad because some boy kissed her ( ... )

"That was um...Really really good."

I like this girl. She says the right thing when she doesn't have to. The kid gets points for that.

"Thanks." I smiled, crossing my arms over my chest. I should have left two buttons open instead of three. I knew it.

"I wasn't even bored."

Either she was bored, and this is her way of indirectly telling me that, or she really wasn't all that bored. I mean, she had to be bored for some of it. I was bored for most of it. There are only so many times you can hear the same lines and the same songs before they start getting annoying. I never want to have to sing "I Need A Hero", or "Almost Paradise" ever again.

Eighties music is just...it's bad.

"I'm glad to hear that."

Why is he looking at her like that?

"Did you have fun? Because it seemed like fun."

"Arianna."Why won't Sam let her talk? She's being nice. After all of the talking he did about her, you think he wouldn't mind me getting to know Arianna a little. She's obviously very imporant to him, and she's been sweet to me. I want to talk ( ... )

"It's okay, Arianna."

No, it's not okay. I thought she was going to do this right. I didn't know she was going to talk on and on and... Oh great, I'm getting a look now. What's that for? I'm not the freakin' ten year old who can't shut up.

"It was a lot of fun. Some of it was hard to remember, like my lines and the dance moves, and where I was supposed to be on the stage, that kind of stuff. But I like performing."

Right. Okay. Humor her, but stop giving me the look, please. I was good. I was a little upset, still sort of am, but I was good. Come on. Stop looking at me like I'm the jackass here who sort of...

"I like toact."

Okay. Yeah.

I might be the jackass here, a little.

"And while some of the things I may be required to do to get the performance done kind of suck--at times in ways that they are not supposed to because it's not like a teacher can step in and tell them to give a little less enthusiasm for their role while they're up on stage with their arms around you in front of an audience--overall, I like it."Is it bad I ( ... )
