My acting pieces

    In acting class we are on the part were each person is given a piece that they have to act out,with a partner. I was given two pieces which are completely different from each other. In one of my pieces I am a girl that is new to a school and is getting bullied. In this piece I a girl that doesn't let others get close to me because I am aware that they will hurt me. I also don't care if no one likes me because they don't bother me. That's how I act on the outside, but on the inside it actually really hurts.  

      In this scene I am sitting alone on a bench, when a boy walks up to me and starts asking me questions. He's curious as to why I'm here by myself and crying. I tell him that I'm alone and I'm praying that he leaves me alone but he doesn't, (And deep down inside I'm glad that he's not leaving because I really do need the company). At first I was only giving the boy one word answers,but then I started opening up to him. I also asked him a few questions, that he didn't hesitate to answer.

     When he spoke I found out that he has a difficult life, but by his appearance I could never have guessed. On the exterior he's strong, with an angry look on his face, the way his eyebrow is frowned tells others to back off. Yet on the inside he really has no where he can call home. He feels neglected and alone. (And that's when we connected.) we felt the same way, I suddenly felt safer with him. This piece starts off with a girl who is not willing to let her guard down and let others in, but towards the end she opens up and becomes more comfortable with the male character, in which they become really close.

         The second piece that I have is about friendship and how friendship is tested. The character that I was portraying had to put the needs of her friend before herself. She had to not be selfish, but instead lend a helping hand to her friend when needed. My character was suppose to try out for the cheerleading team with her bestfriend. On the day of the try outs she sees that her friend is at her locker getting ready to leave. 

         I(as in my character), was upset that my bestfriend is backing out of this. I start to think that it's because I suck at cheerleading and she doesn't want to be seen with a loser like me. That's not the case at all. I learned that my bestfriend was pregnant. I didn't know how to feel, I didn't know if I should be upset( because she ruined her life, mad because she didn't tell me sooner,or sad because we wouldn't be able to cheer together. 

      It was hard for me to hear but I wasn't going to abandon my friend. I told her that I understood why she couldn't be a cheerleader and that I would come to her house and teach her if I needed to. I'm glad that I was given these two characters, because it will be a difficult task. I'm ready to get out of my comfort zone and become two completely different people.
