So uh I think I was back in high school? That’s because I was in my JROTC uniform hanging out backstage when I found out I was going to be playing Rey in our school’s Rise of Skywalker play. The weird thing though is that I have no experience with acting or singing, and I don’t remember even practicing my part either? Regardless, the play was tonight and everyone I knew would be watching it. So yeah, I was backstage in my uni, when I came across the battalion commander. My uniform was off, so immediately I started fixing it while acting like I’d just changed into it after practicing or whatever. I pulled up my socks, and put up my hair. Perfection. From there I then left the auditorium and went to go find my family hanging outside the school. Everyone was waiting for me. My dad, sister, and cousins were all there. As we were walking to my dad’s car though, my dad noticed the play’s director hiding in her car. So uh, he decided to start a conversation with her. Meanwhile, I decided to talk to my kin. I asked them who they thought would be playing Rey, and my cousin Maggie immediately guessed this one girl. I told her she was wrong of course... Anyways, that’s all a remember besides a few other stuff. I think before I found myself back stage I was going through all my normal classes like math and science. My last class must’ve been theater ever though I’ve never taken it before. When I got to it I think I might’ve actually “practiced” for the play. However, all I remember is just seeing some guy dressed as Kylo Ren, and being in a giant sphere that was supposed to be a Death Star? I think I might’ve even shuddered at the idea of having to kiss Kylo too... lol. Afterwards while in the dressing room I think I ran into this one girl from my college, Briney. She was nice and I think she complimented my outfit? Idk.
