GROWING STRONG.
( rehearsals. )

I love rehearsals for the play we are doing. I'm a senior and thought that doing my last play this year would be great. I love plays because like last year, you make a close knit family with everyone involved. I'm really friendly with the cast, since most of them are my friends and are either seniors or juniors. But there is this one girl that i don't vibe with.

She's a freshman that is a little too much for me. Like she tries a little too hard to be everyone's friend in the show. And when the cast list was posted she was chit chatting to people that when she saw the list, she was disappointed because she legit thought she was going to get the lead. And she was like 'omg i wanted to die in that minute.'

First of all, I really hate to burst someone's dreams and bubble, but seniority does exist in my school. It sucks but it's true. I'm a senior and I got an ensemble role, and yeah that sucks, but the teachers had some consideration and gave me the principal role. And they also gave her a role that speaks like a line or two. But don't go to people and say that you wanted to die, because there are people that struggle with hurting themselves.

During read throughs, she would comment after every line that was spoken. Like a main character would say their line, and she'd say a little comment afterwards. It literally got to a point where one of senior friends asked her to be quiet. And she'd act like she was the music conductor for this and cue us all in. Like chill, you aren't the music teacher. He doesn't need your assistance.

And each time we have rehearsals, she'll always do something when she sees me.

I play a violin, and my shoulder cramps up a lot, which doesn't help when I'm on my period. So my shoulder becomes sore throughout the day, and I literally want to lie down. And I got to rehearsals, and she saw me and started shaking my sore shoulder. And I literally didn't want to go off, so I just smiled through the pain.

And then we got to rehearsals and our main girl wasn't there, so someone had to sing and read her lines. And she volunteers. I want to be nice, but she doesn't have the voice of the main role, and I can see why they casted the way they did.

So she sings the songs, and the main guy role has to sing his song. My guy friend does a jokey bit with the guy singing, and it looks like they're singing to each other.
( if you have my kik, tell me to send it to you if you want to see.)

He tells the girl that he'll pretend to be the girl for that song only. And she completely ignores him, but he still did it anyway.

After the song ends, and my guy friend does the funny bit. She sees me taking the video, and when I finish. She puts her hand on my shoulder again.

This might be sounding like 'Gigi, give this girl a break.' But like if you knew me in person, I don't like to be touched. Like if I know you, and you're my best friends since like freshman year, then I have that trust with you and vice versa to touch me. But I legit don't know you, like I legit don't know her name, and she probably doesn't know mine. Don't touch me. I might even be a germaphobe for all I know, so let's keep our hands to ourselves.

Also another thing, there's a song where the male sings a song about wanting to blow up the school. And the male doesn't know the song very well. And afterwards, she goes and says, 'Just channel your inner school shooter.'

Like no! Don't ever say that even if it's a joke. That's not cool to make jokes like that. And this rehearsal was before Parkland happened, but in no way is it ever cool to say that.

Anyway, I just really went on a rant. I'm sorry if I sound like a bitch. I am more tolerable to her, and am keeping my nice side going with her.
