I Write Sins Not Tragedies (a Panic! at the Disco story), chapter 4
I sat down and threw my books out on my desk. They had the weirdest names ever. Like "How to do improvisation when you're in a lion outfit" and "Shakespeare always knew what to say" I hated to admit it but drama was one of my better classes. It was an easy A and all you do is read lines and stuff. It's never boring cause of Madame Bella, she always was flying around and doing creepy things like lighting incense and making us meditate for about an hour. Ok.... that's kinda boring but other than that its fun!
"This is going to be 'fun'," Spencer whispered staring at Madade Bella's scripts lying in front of her.
"Yeah..." I wasn't really paying attention.
I was thinking back to the bus stop, when I met that strange girl. Aubrey I think her name was. Wow. I slid back into reality when Madame Bella flickered the lights on and off.
"Attention everyone! We have a new student today all the way from the misty shores of London, England!" The whole class did a fake "OOoooOoo" but I just sat up higher in my pillow cushion. The girl from earlier was there.
"Would you like to introduce yourself dearie?"
"Well my name's Aubrey and I'm actually from the polluted cities of London." The whole class snickered.
Madame Bella' gave a shocked look then motioned her to the seat next to Ryan.
"Since Ms. Cambell moved to New York.... you can be acting partners with Mr. Ross." She sat down. Ryan whispered something to her and they both started laughing.
Then Ryan looked down sadly. His late girlfriend Jac (I know, creepy name) just did something that broke his heart in like.... 1000 little pieces. I suddenly understood why he wrote that song.
"Ok class... today we will be an improvisation day! I will give each set of partners a skit!" She ran around whispering things in people's ears.
She walked over to me.
"Mr. Urie and Mr. Smith....what should I give you two trouble makers?" She had an evil look on her face.
"Something easy?" Spencer suggested smiling faintly.
"No..... you two will be portraying a couple of men desperately in love with each other, but too afraid of admitting it in because of people and their discrimination" We looked at each other.
"Why do you hate us?" I stared at her.
She smiled and walked away. We just sat there. My gaze wondered over to Ryan and Aubrey. They were quietly chatting. Probably about the skit, I think... All of the sudden Madame Bella's booming voice rang out.
"Ok class! We will start with Mr. Urie and Mr. Smith." We slouched over and took our places.
Surprisingly I was a pretty good actor. I imagined nobody was there and started.
"So John, how have you been these past few years?" I said in a very deep husky voice.
"Oh pretty good Bob, how bout yourself?" He said back in a deep voiced sexy tone. It made me shiver.
"Terrible." I knelt down "I...I... I can't live without you John"
He did a pretend shocked face.
"Me neither Bob!"
He knelt down too.
If I weren't me I would be laughing hysterically.
"I love you John!" I yelled hugging him.
This was creepy, yet somewhat funny.
"Me too!!"
"But I'm scared John! What will they think of our love?"
"We must ignore them. We must!!!" We stood up.
"THE END!"
Everyone burst out laughing. Us too. Then Madame Bella ran up to us.
"Bravo boys, A+ now sit down!"
We did. Then the teacher made about 6 other groups go. Ryan and Aubrey's was someone who had lost their dog and later found out it was murdered. It was pretty funny but didn't top our gay love story. At 12:29 the bell rang and we all bustled out for lunch. I sat down with the almost usual group. Ryan, Spencer, Brent, John, and Nickie. Nickie was my best girl friend. We weren't going out but i always thought she was pretty. The only people missing from this image were Jac (Ryan's ex) and Audrey (My ex). Even though there were still tons of people here it still felt empty. I glanced over at Ryan who was scribbling in his notebook. I read over his shoulder...
Oh, well in fact,
Well I'll look at it this way
I mean technically our marriage is saved,
Well this calls for a toast so pour the champagne,
Pour the champagne,
OH well in fact
Well I'll look at it this way
I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast so pour the champagne
Pour the champagne
Once again he snatched it away and gave me a dirty look.
"Not yet!" he yelled.
"You're so childish!"
he stuck his tongue out at me and walked away. I had a feeling this was going to be a looooooong day!
"This is going to be 'fun'," Spencer whispered staring at Madade Bella's scripts lying in front of her.
