'Drama'

The Dream

Emotion: Fear

Sophie: Oh there you are. I was wondering how late you were gonna be today.
Evie: I had to wait for my brother and dad to get ready. Hope that’s ok with you.
Sophie: (sarcastic) Of course it is! (whisper) Yeah right!
(Awkward Pause)
Evie: So… let’s get started. Ok then, you four go over there and start practicing your passes. You six go shoot some hoops, hmm…oh and you…you pump up some balls, they are way too soft!!
Sophie: Excuse me!
Evie: Yeah what?
Sophie: I am the team leader. Remember the coach changed leaders! So stop bossing everyone around and…hmm…let me think…you can pump up those balls yourself!! Oh no, I forgot, you can’t because…
Evie: You’re the new captain? How can you be the new captain? I’m way better than you and…and you’ve only been playing this sport for a year. I’ve played this sport since 1st grade!!
Sophie: So, you think you’re better than me, do you? You have to be kidding me, the coach hated you and thought I was much better anyways. So it was meant to be like this and you can do nothing about it! Oh and by the way…
Evie: WHAT NOW?
Sophie: I’m really sure the coach will agree with me…
Evie: Agree with you on what?
Sophie: We don’t need boring, forever late losers like you on this team so get lost! (Turns around) WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!! THERE’S NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!!
(Evie wakes up confused)
Jake: (Knocks on the door) Hey, can I come in?
Evie: Huh, what?(comes back to earth) ‘course
Jake: WOW, look at you, you look terrible! What happened? Seems like you had a fight or something!
Evie: Well…yeah kinda.
Jake: WHAT!! Someone came in here? A stranger? Oh no, I’d better call the police!
Evie: Calm down, Jake…no one came in here…except you…oh and stop looking in my diary. Anyways, I had a really bad dream involving a teammate of mine.
Jake: What’s your teammate’s name?
Evie: Sophie…you know her?
Jake: Well…let me think…she’s in our grade…she eats at our table…I went out with her…but then she dumped me…still friends…yeah, I think I know her. What about her?
Evie: You dated her? How could you have dated that pest? She’s a living nightmare.
Jake: You know, when I dated her, she was really nice, kind, sweet, polite (Starts to have a flashback but suddenly comes back) But what about her?
Evie: She’s…
Jake: WAIT, I know, she’s your new best friend!!
Evie: Huh, not exactly what I was going to say…but let me tell you that her being my new best friend would have been a really really bad nightmare!!…and all that stuff you said about her being nice and polite, well she certainly isn’t that now…she’s really annoying and I hate her! (Is really angry)
Jake: Anyways, what happened in your dream?
Evie: Well, she took my place as the team captain and…and she also said that she wanted to kick me off the team.
Jake: She thinks you are not good enough?
Evie: I don’t know…but ever since I joined the team, we have won every single tournament.
Jake: Hey don’t worry…you’re the best player I have ever seen! Remember your first day of school? Remember how you beat everyone else in our grade and even some of the high schoolers!
Evie: Those were some good times.
Jake: See, why would she want to kick a fantastic player like you off the team?
Evie: Because she hates me more than anything!
Jake: And she’s willing to hurt the team’s chances of winning because she doesn’t like you?
Evie: Well, according to the dream she didn’t seem to care.
Jake: Wait, you can’t be serious…you actually think that a dream saying you got kicked out of the team may come true?
Evie: Umm…I don’t know…maybe this dream is a warning and it is telling me that…
Voice: Hurry up and get ready! You don’t want to be late for training do you?
Jake: Well this is getting really ridiculous…I’d better go…see you later then, ok? And stop worrying, everything is going to be fine!(He exits)
(Evie is still worried but gets ready)
Evie: I really hope none of this will come true!
(Evie leaves)
(Few minutes later in the gym, Sophie is waiting)
(Evie rushes in)
Sophie: Oh there you are, I was wondering how late you were gonna be today.
Evie: I had to wait for my brother and my dad to get ready. Hope that’s ok with you.
Sophie: (sarcastic) Of course it is (whispers) Yeah right!
(Awkward pause)
Evie: So…let’s get started. Ok then, you four go over there and start practicing your passes. You six go shoot some hoops, hmm…oh and you…you pump up some balls, they are way too soft!!
Sophie: Excuse me!
Evie: Yeah what? (Worried look)
~END~

Drama was a different yet exciting class that I thoroughly enjoyed. Although I was only there for half the class, I found it lots of fun. We worked on our appearances and practiced our scenes. Even though I enjoyed everything that we did, I have to say that acting out our scenes was the most thrilling. I particularly enjoyed this activity because I was able to see myself improving in my acting skills and learnt how to get into my character. The performance at the end was nerve-wrecking but I’m glad I did it because it gave me more experience. Overall, I found Drama one of the most interesting classes and I would give anything to do it again!
