The importance of being Ernst: Chapter 2

Summary:

Mr. Mazzu offers Jeremy to audition for the show Spring Awakening.

Jeremy may be interested, not only on playing a role for the show.

Jeremy spent the rest of the day thinking about the show. Only he realised he had been thinking about the wrong things about the show just when he found himself standing in front of the auditorium's door. He had no idea what song would he perform if he was asked to, and let's be honest, this was a show, odds were pretty high.

Heck, he didn't even thought of going to the library and check the play for some character reference or running some lines.

This was a bad, bad idea.

Suddenly he felt very self-conscious while remembering the different scenes he imagined and how they all were about him and Simon playing side by side.

Yeah, he absolutely messed up his opportunity.

"Are you just going to stand there?" A voice asked him, it was coming from behind him. He immediately moved aside without even thinking. "Is everything okay with you?" The guy asking took a step closer to him, insisted. "Are you nervous because of the audition or something?"

Finally, Jeremy looked up the person talking to him, hoping he looked composed. He hadn't met the guy before but he seemed really worried.

"Yeah, sort of..." Admitted Jeremy. "I guess I just realized I don't have a song to sing for it".

"Oh man, that's not really a problem, is it? Just sing the first thing that comes to mind. By the way, I'm Michael.. I'm auditioning too".

"Jeremy" He responded and they proceeded to shake hands.

"Great, you made it Michael!" Another guy had come towards them without Jeremy realizing. The two boys, Michael and the new guy shook hands too, then the guy presented himself as Maashous.

It turned out Maashous was the one responsible for the lighting.

Jeremy realized he was starting to feel a little more comfortable and happy to be about to audition for a role on the show. He hoped the other two would be around so they may all hang out together.

As he was feeling a lot more relaxed someone from the other side of the door opened it.

Relaxed and cool, about to audition? Yeah, well that was before he saw the person opening the door was Simon.

The importance of being Ernst: Chapter 1

Summary:

Mr. Mazzu offers Jeremy to audition for the show Spring Awakening.

Jeremy may be interested, not only on playing a role for the show.

The bell announcing the end of the class took Jeremy by surprise as he was doodling little cartoons on the margin of his notebook.

“Don’t forget to read the chapter for the next class” Asked mr. Mazzuchelli as all his students left the room in a rush. “And please, the boys interested in participating in the show the Drama Club will be presenting soon, the auditions will be held at three pm today… please, we need boys for the show” He said. Seeing that no one was listening, he tried one more thing “The show is Spring Awakening” He reminded the few people left in hope someone would even care.

Little did he know one of is students heard him loud and clear.

Spring Awakening, thought Jeremy and tried to imagine how would it be to play such a show in High School, were they even allowed? Did the principal and the parents of the drama club give their okay for them to perform such a thing? If his memory wasn’t wrong, and normally in stuff like shows and plays it wasn’t Spring Awakening touched on topics like abortion, suicide, teenagers having sex, homosexuality and incest.

“Are you thinking about auditioning for the show, Jeremy?” Said Mr. Mazzuchelli all the sudden, interrupting his thoughts. “I know last year you were in one of the school plays and I’d be really glad if you tried out for this one, we could use your voice and acting talents”.

Jeremy blushed a little as he was surprised someone still remembered his participation in the play. His role was such an irrelevant one, especially counting of the fact that Simon Saunders and Gwen Strickland, the best school’s performers, were the leads.

Simon, Jeremy thought. Is Simon in this show too?

“I’ll think about it, Mr. Mazzuchelli” He answered. The teacher nodded and turned back to his desk as Jeremy finally started to put his stuff in his backpack. If he didn’t start moving soon enough he would be late to the cafeteria and wouldn’t have a seat.
