Not Quite Normal

What the what?

"Fine, we're damaged. Really damaged- But that does not make us wise. We're not special, we're not different, we don't choose who lives or dies. Let's be normal, see bad movies- Sneak a beer and watch tv. We'll bake brownies or go bowling, don't you want a life with me?" I sang as the rest of the cast watched. "Can we be seventeen? That's all I want to do, if you could let me in I could be good with you. People hurt us-"

"Or they vanish," Landon said.

"And you're right that really blows. But we let go."

"Take a deep breath."

"Then go buy some summer clothes, We'll go camping-"

"Play some poker."

"And we'll eat some chilli fries. Maybe prom night."

"Maybe dancing."

"Don't stop looking in my eyes."

"Your eyes."

"Can't we be seventeen," we both sang. "Is that so hard to do? If you could let me in I could be good with you. Let us be seventeen, if we still got the right."

"So what's it gonna be? I wanna be with you," I said.

"Wanna be with you."

"I wanna be with you tonight," we sang together.

We then pulled in together for a kiss. I then backed away from him. "Yeah we're damaged-"

"Badly damaged," he shrugged.

"But your love's too good to lose," we both said sadly. I then ran towards him.

"Hold me tighter."

"Even closer."

"I'll stay if I'm what you choose."

"Can we be seventeen?" he said.

"If I am what you choose," I said.

"If we still have the right," he mumbled.

"Because you're the one I choose."

"You're the one I choose," he said turning me around.

"You're the one I choose," we both said and pulled in for a short kiss. Once we pulled away everyone clapped.

"Well done you two, everyone clean up and get ready. The bells going to ring in about two minutes. Well go over Shine A Light when we come back from Christmas break. Y/N? Can I talk to you for a minute?" 

Nervous, I walked over to the drama teacher. "Yes Mrs Lycan?"

"I believe their are some old costumes and props in the storage we can reuse. Would you be a dear and go look around for me? I have a meeting to go to when the bell rings."

"Of course!" I said. She clapped excitedly.

"Good girl! Here I'll give you the keys and you can just bring what you find in here, feel free to take as many trips as you want." Just then the bell rang. She quickly got the keys from her desk and handed them to me. "Now it's down the hall the restrooms. It has a sign that says not to enter unless you have permission. Once you're done you can leave your stuff in here and go home. I believe there is also a discard pile. Feel free to take what you want from there sweetheart."

She grabbed her purse and ran out of the cafeteria to get to her meeting. I walked toward the restroom where she said the storage would be. I knew what door she was talking about seeing as I pass it every time I have to get to class. I had always wanted to know what was in there since the first day of school. Once I got there, I got out the keys and unlocked the door. The seconded I opened in an automatic light turned on. Inside was a cluster of boxes. It was about the the size of those single person restrooms at some restaurants or stores.
