Ingrid sat on the floor, with a spreadsheet of ideas in front of her. Beside that, a cup of hot cocoa. She waited for Johanna while going over their past notes.
Johanna knocked on the door, carrying some of the things she had had yesterday working with Ingrid.
Ingrid opened it. "Johanna!!" she exclaimed. She invited her to come in. "I have been thinking ideas." she said, pointingto her pile. "Do you want some hot cocoa?" she asked
"Sounds great," Johanna told her, setting down the items she had brought. "Where were we?"
"Um... At the spot where the director tells that Anna and Jonah are Romeo and Juliet." Ingrid said, bringing in another hot cocoa.
"Okay," Johanna said, opening the notebook to the page they had been on and grabbing a pencil. "Thanks," she said about the hot cocoa, absentmindedly taking a sip.
Johanna thought for a moment, tucking a strand of her blond hair behind her ear. (Jonah and Anna both pump their fists in delight, before shooting a surprised look at each other that they had the same reaction.)
Director: We're going to be doing a cold reading of the script now.
(They talk very quietly and the narrator voices in above them)
Narrator: They did the cold reading of the script, both of them acing it.
(The two characters gag slightly as they read inaudibly, presumably reading a mushy part)
Ingrid smiled and added: Narrator: Soon enough they finished.
Director: Anna, good job with the accent there! Just maybe speak a little louder.
Anna: Ok!
(Director turns towards Jonah)
Director: And Jonah! I like your voice projection but...
Ingrid left Johanna to finish the rest...
Johanna grinned and wrote more. you really need to pronounce the names of people and places better. Work on figuring those out.
(Director makes a general announcement)
Director: Everyone did pretty well and I'm confident that the play will go over well. Continue working on your lines at home.
(Anna turns toward Jonah and speaks softly)
Anna: You did well..
Johanna paused for Ingrid to decide his reaction.
Ingrid took another sip and wrote with a smile,(Jonah flushed unintentionally and mumbles)
Jonah: You too...
(Anna beamed)
Ingrid stopped and took another sip, letting Johanna continue.
((Did you write what we newly wrote on Play Submissions?))
Johanna drank some more and thought for a moment before starting to write again. (They awkwardly stare in silence for a moment before Jonah does something.)
Jonah: So uh
(Shifts awkwardly)
Jonah: I was wondering if we could uh meet up sometime to work on memorizing lines..
Johanna stopped and smiled at Ingrid.
((Not since we switched threads, I'll update it again.))
Ingrid smiled back. This was getting interesting. Anna: Sure!
((ok!))
"What next?" Johanna asked, peering at the paper.((Updated!))
((Thx!!))Ingrid said, "They go on their "date" . Do you want to skip to that scene?"
Johanna frowned in concentration on her paper. "I guess we could have the narrator simply narrate that it happened," she suggested. "Or just show the end of it, or both."
"Yeah." Ingrid agreed, frowning at her cup. It was empty. "Excuse me," she said, edging towards the kitchen.
"Will you take mine too?" Johanna asked, offering her the cup while staring at the paper, lost in thought. She started to write. Narrator: They practiced their lines together after school in the drama area, not wanting to go to either's house particularly. They had a pretty good time and were feeling warmer to each other by the time they left school
(Anna and Jonah laugh before starting an inaudible scene in the background where they both end up on the ground, 'dead.')
"Sure."Ingrid said, coming back to take Johanna's cup. In a min, she came back and gave Johanna her cup. She set hers down and began to write. Narrator: The next day, Jonah decided it was time to be brave and take a leap of faith. Little did he know, Anna had had the same feeling and was going to ask them too.
Johanna took a sip with a smile. "It's getting goood," she sang, writing. (The scene shifts to the end of a rehearsal)
Anna: Oh Romeo I cannot but live without thy presence! Thou art my everything!
(She stabs herself with a cleverly painted foam sword right between her arm and body, with her body angled away from the stage so no one can tell it wasn't a real stab. The curtains close)
Director: Bravo! Bravo! That was very good! I can't wait for the play!
Johanna paused, not knowing what to put for the next part with Anna and Jonah. She gestured for Ingrid to continue with a smile.
"Oh!" Ingrid said, she wrote. (Later) Jonah: Umm...I was meaning to ask you something. Anna: Me too...(Long pause) Both: Uh... Jonah finally says: Anna, do you want to come to my house to practice? ( He sighs) Anna: That's what I was going to ask you. If you wanted to come to my house... Ingrid left the rest to take a sip.
((Lol! You put Anna and Johanna...))
((Lol! Oops))Johanna smiled. "So I'm thinking we should cut it off soon," she told her. "Ms. Violet gave the impression the plays should be short. Should we skip ahead soon and maybe show the end of the play? Like the curtains closing around them lying on the stage with a line of chairs around with people clapping? And then we could show Jonah asking her out and it ends?"
"Yeah." Ingrid said. ((Haha!! Lol! You put it again...))
((Gah! It's hard to keep straight))"Okay," Johanna agreed. She waited for her to continue writing, not knowing what to put next.
Ingrid wrote: Narrator: They spent the next few days at each others houses learning the script and blocking the moves. In time, they began to realize...they were in love... She smiled and took another sip.
((It's ok XD))
Johanna smiled and started writing. (The stage goes dark momentarily and when it lights up again, some people are standing around the edge of the stage and clapping as Anna and Jonah bow with a few other people.)
"Should they kiss or something?" Johanna asked.
"Yes, how about they complement each other first?" Ingrid suggested.
"Sure!" Johanna agreed, starting to jot down her thoughts. ((I thought that we were overusing the word write hehe))
(The stage lights dim and the 'audience' starts to file out. Anna and Jonah turn to each other)
Anna: You did well...
(She smiles as she repeats what she'd said to him before)
Johanna stopped to let Ingrid finish.
Ingrid wrote Jonah: Thanks! You too...(He blushes as she smiles at him. Slowly they move their faces towards each other, staring deeply into each others' eyes.Anna can feel her heart beating like crazy. Jonah trembles a bit. But, at last they can feel each other's breath on their faces. They kiss slowly and shyly, then let go...)
Johanna squealed and clapped, nearly knocking her drink over. "We did it!" she exclaimed. "It's finished!"
"Yeah!!" Ingrid shouted." We just have to hand it to Ms. Violet.
"Yep!" Johanna said happily.((End? And do you want to write the summary or should I?))
((Oh we forgot to name the play! What should it be named?))
((Hmm maybe more something like "Romeo and Juliet, best frenemies"?))
((Great! I'll finish the play in submissions!))
(( This room will now be shared by Clementine! 9124Crystal, you requested she be given a roommate and Jazmine asked for a roommate for her girl in the Creative Arts.))
Ingrid waltzed in the room. She was so happy. The play was done! Now she could relax. Then she noticed Clementine was home. "Hi!" she said.
"Ingrid." Ingrid said, plopping herself down on the couch.((So sorry, forgot to check this thread...))
