32: "Drama Project"

Start from the beginning

"Remember, talk professionally if we want Mr. Carson to consider our suggestion." Kirby reminds us, we were now at the door of our Drama class.

Calum, Ashton and I chuckled slightly. When are we ever 'professional'?

"We'll try," the three of us replied in unison.

Kirby rolled our eyes as we ambled our way in. Calum knocks on the door even though it was open, and Mr. Carson lifted his head. His gaze fell to ours, away from his work sheets.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Carson." Kirby greeted, "We were wondering if we could have, a small chat?"

Mr. Carson raised his dark brows, me slightly amused when his moustache moved. It looked like a dead gray squirrel.

Who killed it and placed it over his mouth?! Sick bastards!

"Is it something important?" asked Mr. Carson, doubt flashing in his eyes as he recognizes Calum, Ashton and me.

I am offended.

"Yes sir," Ashton replied.

"We are here to discuss an important matter. A suggestion for our Drama project, perhaps." Calum says, using his stern tone that we barely hear.

I, again, discretely eye the dead squirrel over Mr. Carson's mouth.

Is it possible to bring it back to life?

Damn, Michael, be serious would you?

Hahaha no.

"What is it?" Mr. Carson asked, urging us into empty seats infront of his desk.

Each of us takes up a seat and we scooted to his desk closer, trying our best to plaster serious faces. But I fail as I chuckled slightly.

Mr. Carson looked at me weirdly, while I see Kirby rolling his eyes at me.

"Uhm sir, our suggestion is, instead of an old school cheesy Romeo and Juliet play... why not a Couple Act?" Kirby cleared his throat, gaining attention from Mr. Carson.

"Couple Act, you say? Enlighten me." Mr. Carson's eyes filled with slight curiosity. I could tell that the four of us were internally fist pumping.

Of course I did not only fist pump, I did awesome dance moves in my Michael Land.

Don't ask me where it is. Only Michael Clifford is allowed.

After what seems forever, we had done convincing Mr. Carson that we indeed had a brilliant plan. He'd change things up a bit, knowing that some might not participate and will just accept an F. Most of the students here I'd say, didn't give a damn about grades.

Luckily, Mr. Carson thought about it. What if Luke refuses and just head on with an F? He'll do everything just to ignore Tina now, and Tina surely would do the same. Except we could easily make Tina agree with the threats of a failing grade.

Mr. Carson came into a conclusion. Being the free-spirited, travel-loving teenagers are, he decided to give a special treat if a pair scores the highest.

One, he'd let the pair be excluded in the quarterly test, assuring an A+ on their cards already. We're sure Tina would love that, and maybe Luke too, knowing he can't submit a blank sheet and he sure as hell doesn't like exams.

Two, it's some kind of a trip off to somewhere out of town. Not exactly to another city, but like far from Sydney. Like at Sydney's edge.

I was secretly hoping it would be at the beach, because damn, I'd love to see seahorses.

And Patrick Star.

Oooh, and David Hasslehoff. If he's there anyway. I hope he is, I'd love to slow-motion jog with him across the seashore.

Plus, the trip is not exclusively only for the pair, but the pair gets to choose 3 other pairs. So that means me, Calum and Ash could go too. In that way we could make sure Tina and Luke would have some grand time together.

See? Not only a week of pretending as a couple, but also another week of trip to somewhere I'm sure will be ever romantic.

I honestly didn't know why Mr. Carson thought of giving a prize that might be slightly too much for a simple Couple Act project, but he says the money that was originally saved for the Romeo and Juliet play had no better use, so he will spend it over the trip.

That or he just wants to have an excuse to go along to a trip to.

"Pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Carson." I said, shaking his hand.

"Doing what?" he asked, puzzled from his expression.

The guys sighed at me, "What? That's what most people say when they're off a proposal." I said in my defense.

"You watch way too much TV, Mikey." Kirby places his hands on his hips.

"Aww boohoo." I mocked and punched Kirby on his shoulder, making him whine.

What a wimp.

"Let's go plan this shit up!" Calum exclaims happily.

"Oh look at you two, finally using your brains." Ashton wipes an imaginary tear off his eye, and ruffles me and Calum's hair.

"We are using our brains all the time. As living organisms, our brain is fully at work. It is responsible for every single thing we do. The brain actually does control the involuntarily muscles. Like we can't breathe, not even stop our heart beating. The brain is the central processor of our body afterall." Calum said, our faces clear with shock at his scientific explanation.

"Woah," Ashton breathes out, eyes wide.

"Woah," Calum mimicked Ashton's tone, but he was shock too. "I actually learn Science and shit!" he laughs.

"We're Little Einsteins, am I right?" I grinned at him. We exchanged hi-5s and bumped each other by our arms.

"Am I witnessing The Evolution of Stupid right infront of me?" Kirby crosses his arms, sighing for what seems the 100th time today.

"You're just jealous Grandma." I stuck my tongue out at him. He rolled his eyes again.

"Celebratory snack!" Ashton exclaims, bring his fist up.

"For the succession of plan and our hidden smartness!" Calum raises his fist up too.

"On forth to KFC!" I shouted with glee.

We all look at Kirby, giving him a look that says do-what-we're-doing-or-you're-a-lame-fuck.

"Wohoo." he sarcastically cheers and brings his fist up too.

Then we headed on running outside the school, from the back, since we're going out even if it's not dismissal time yet.
