I don't think I've ever mentioned this before,but am going to say it now. Acting is my life, I have passion for it, it's something I'd love to do for the rest of my life :its the art or practice of representing a character on a stage or before cameras, I'm not shy and I love being in the spotlight, I want people to watch the movies I star in. Yeah, I know such a big dream. But everything starts from somewhere, I'_m going to start by acting in my school.
The theatre is my happy place. Although the only theatre I've been to is the one at school, and I'm hoping that the showcase goes really well. I have never really told anyone this, well except Sydney.

"Scene IV" Mr hudson says through a megaphone, but am like, there are only twelve people here not a millon.
We've been rehearsing a lot today because the play was next week. And we have made a lot progress, the only part left is where they kissed and I'm hoping we don't do that part even if I and Bryan are kinda sort of friends I'm still not ready to kiss him.
Hmm friends that go on dates.
I just betrayed myself.
"Places everyone and ACTION!" Mr hudson said,well more like yelled. We were acting out the part were Juliet died so I instantly fell on the ground and opened my eyes wide, like a dead person would.
Enter LADY CAPULET
LADY CAPULET
What noise is here?
Nurse
O lamentable day!
LADY CAPULET
What is the matter?
Nurse
Look, look! O heavy day!
LADY CAPULET
O me, O me! My child, my only life,
Revive, look up, or I will die with thee!
Help, help! Call help.
Then Josh who was acting as capulet came in.
CAPULET
For shame, bring Juliet forth; her lord is come.
Nurse
She's dead, deceased, she's dead; alack the day!
LADY CAPULET
Alack the day, she's dead, she's dead, she's dead!
CAPULET
Ha! let me see her: out, alas! she's cold:
Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff;
Life and these lips have long been separated:
Death lies on her like an untimely frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.
Have you ever wondered how Shakespeare writes books with this type of English it's just so difficult to understand, words like: alack, thou and thee , that is why I am really grateful to whoever decide to create proper English, now thanks to that awesome guy I don't have to ever speak like that.
2 hours passed by in a rush and rehearsals finally came to an end (I'm sooo glad). I went straight to my lunch table (not bryan's, mine) and since they don't serve anything healthy on Fridays I had to eat this really famous food, it's quite popular, it's called a burger, ever heard of it, but thanks to the anti nausea medecine that I've been taking I rarely puked anymore.
"The burger is not going to hurt you, so stop glaring at it" a voice said.
"I know that Josh and I didn't even realise I was glaring at it" I told him.
"So how are things" he asked.
"What things" I asked him, before taking a bite from my burger.
"I mean things between you and Bryan" he said.
"Things are good, I guess" I informed him.
"You guess?" He asked with one brow raised.
"Yeah, one minute we are enemies and before you know it we are friends-wait, why am I even telling you this"
"Because we are friends" he said.
"Oh, right"
"Maddie I just want to tell you that not all things are what they seem to be, don't let anyone fool you or ruin you and lastly, be careful" and with that he left the cafeteria.
I wonder what that was about.
Not all things are what they seem to be.
Don't let anyone fool you
Be careful
Those words lingered in my head.

"Sydney, do I look overdressed" I asked her for the umpteenth time tonight. My date with bryan was today and am wearing a plain emerald gown, knee lenght with one strap with one of the black heels I bought recently with light makeup
"No, you look really pretty" she said.
"Aww thanks" I told her.
"What time will your boyfriend be here" she asked.
"Firstly he's not my boyfriend and secondly, he will be here in about ten minutes" I informed her.
oh my God how could I forget.
"Sydney, I forgot to ask you if you were okay with this, since you like him or liked him, I swear if it's not okay with you I will text him right now and cancel the date in fact I will never talk to him again" I told her sincerely. Sydney is my best friend and I don't want to loose her because of a boy, you know the words 'sisters before misters"
"No, definitely not, you will do no such thing, I'm actually really happy for you" she told me.
"Maddie, there's a boy here to pick you up, he said his name is Bryan" beth(my nanny) said through the intercom.
"Oh okay, tell him that I'll be there in a second" I told her.
"I have to go now" I told Sydney while grabbing my purse, but she looked a little down. I wonder what's up with her.
"Ok bye" she said giving me a quick hug "and if you need anything, I'm only one call away" she added.
I went downstairs and saw my dad talking to bryan, oh no I forgot that my dad was at home (for some odd reasons).
"Hey dad"
"Maddie, why didn't you tell me that you were going on a date with this, fine young man" again with the questions
"I guess it skipped my mind" I said ,normally I would have been a little rude to him, but after the conversation we had at the hospital, I couldn't just do it.
At the hospital.
"Dad" I whispered. Due to the tension bryan left, leaving me and my father in the room.
"Hi maddison, you look so shocked to see me" he said
"Maybe it's because I haven't seen you in a while" I told him, laying emphasy on while.
"Well you really can't blame me, I have been really busy" he said.
"Too busy to see your own daughter" I muttered. He ignored me and continued talking.
"I'm here to say I'm sorry" he said. Did he just say that?
I remained silent.
"I'm sorry for being a terrible father, I'm sorry for not visiting you in a year and a half, I'm sorry for everything, please forgive me Maddie"
I was too stunned to speak, but he's my father afterall. So I forgave him and he looked extremely happy to hear that.
"To make it up to you, I'm going to stay in New York for a while"
And we both knew that a while wasn't two weeks or months ,it's more like for a year, and I'm really excited to hear that, it's the start of a new relationship.
The present.
"Alright then, be back by midnight" my dad said. And with that we left, but I'm glad that my dad isn't one of those dad that threatens any boy that takes me on a date.
We got to bryan's car and he opened the door for me like a gentleman
"Oh wow, your parents are loaded, my Mustang looks like a rag beside your, bugatti" he muttered, probably hoping that I don't here him.
"Hahaha, none of them are mine, they are all for my parents" I informed him.
"So where are we going " I asked.
"Firstly I forgot to tell you, that you look gorgeous tonight" that makes me blush.
"Thanks and you don't look bad" I said teasingly. He dressed really nice, if I was a stranger I would have thought that he was probably planning on walking down the red carpet.
"Secondly, we are going to three places" he said.
"And this is our first destination" he said pointing outside the window.
How ironic? he brought me to a theatre.

I never really read the story of Romeo and Juliet or even watched it, I just keep assuming they kissed . So if you've read it good for you. ;)
