Welcome to Drama (Class Starter)

[☺Tabitha Hale☹]

Drama Instructor

Tabitha was waiting in a classroom today, not the auditorium, why? There were build sets up and for the new musical they had all year to get that done, as well as learning about how to act, the history of the theater, and, well, everything else! She also had a research paper idea in mind, choose a famous playwright and write a three page paper on him or her. What? Tabitha couldn’t always be nice; she had to be firm…sometimes.

So today on each student’s desk there was a copy of the policy agreement, stating that they had to comply with school rules as well as her rules, if you’re in a play you need to pay a minimum of $20 , behind the scenes work is not included in those funds, that’s free. Students had time to turn it in, and she didn’t really care if students forgot to turn it in. The paper on the other hand she would care deeply if they forgot.

Amelia was sitting on the desk, purring happily as Tabitha scratched the kitten’s head. Sure she missed her first cat Ginger, but Amelia was just adorable and she was very much like Tabby, eccentric and lovely. Tabby was just getting some work done before the kids entered the classroom. She was just looking over the student’s names and faces on the seating chart she made on her laptop, and on the board behind her was her name and the seating chart she was looking at.

She heard the students file in, she looked up and saw two students she knew rather well, Astraea Dike, a quiet fledgling, and her boyfriend Pride Osiris, another quiet fledgling but they brought the best out in each other, and she often paired them up together because she knew they worked well together. Now… She looked up and saw a few new fledglings as well as some familiar faces that she couldn’t place a name with. Now let’s see…

She stood up and smiled sweetly at her students then moved to the front of the desk. ”Most of you know me, I hope, but if you don’t, I’m Professor Hale, I know some teachers will let you call them by their first name, but not me. It’s either Miss Hale or Professor Hale or even just Hale, never call me Tabitha…Unless you’re a fifth former then you can.” She smiled and sat down on the desk, crossing her legs, right over the left, and she looked at all her students. ”In front of you is the policy sheet, I don’t care if you don’t turn it in but…Here’s a little secret, on the back of the sheet is the course plan for this semester as well as a major assignment due at the end of this semester as well, do not forget the paper, that’s worth thirty percent of your grade. It may not seem like a lot but believe me, it is.” She turned around and grabbed a copy of the sheet off her desk and looked back at the students. ”Follow me along here please. If you had me before then just sign your name at the bottom and turn it in.”

”Merry meet fledglings. Welcome to Drama, some of you may remember that in this class participation is the key to passing. A little information about myself, I’ve been an actress in three major Broadway productions as well as taught students how to act for many years. My affinity is to help you become a better actor or actress if that is what you want to do with your life. Do not think this class is just an easy A, it’s not. Also with this class you must choose a famous playwright like Andrew Lloyd Webber or Shakespeare, not Maxwell Sheffield because he’s not real, and write a three page paper, I’ll explain more when it becomes crucial to finish. I expect you all to follow the class rules as well as my class rules.

Rule Number 1, No talking when I’m talking

Rule Number 2, No food in my class

Rule Number 3, No gum!

And Rule Number 4, Have fun.[/size]

Other than that, you’re pretty good, any questions?”[/color] She looked around the room and kept her smile. She loved to watch the students, maybe if they were good she’d end class early today.

[Pride Osiris]

Pride actually enjoyed class, and he didn’t say that just because it sounded good, he said it because he honestly meant it. Class was something he could do, he could focus on it and not have to worry about anything else. There was no chance anything from his past would be brought up, and he could do well here easily, because Pride was a smart boy and he knew it, well knew it and wasn’t cocky about it. Well he thought he wasn’t cocky about it anyway.

He had just come in from his run with Juno and filled the silly husky’s water dish before he slipped off his slightly sweaty shirt and tossing it on his bed in exchange for a towel and a shower. Which was where he was for the next five minutes or so, just scrubbing off the grime that came along with a good long run and tossling his hair a bit. Not that he really had to worry bout that too much with his affinity, he could make it shift with sheer will of his mind. It came in handy more than once and he would never take that ability of his for granted ever. Helped with his scars too….For a moment Pride dropped his affinity all together while he dried his hair lazily with the towel. He didn’t flinch anymore at what he saw, he’d been seeing it in the mirror for years upon years by now after all. With a shake of his head he pulled it back up.

Going into his main bedroom, he pulled on a simple deep blue shirt cause it looked good on him and jeans before pulling out his cell and texting Raea, making sure she was ready for class. He didn’t have the time to walk her there or anything sappy like that, but he intended to meet her there. His runs with Juno were a little more important, as much as he loved her.

He tapped his leg, and Juno fell in line with him automatically, being impeccably trained…otherwise they wouldn’t let him have her at the House of Night where all the cats were. The pair of them jogged over to the classrooms where there was his Raea Love. He grinned a bit and bent to kiss her before taking her hand. ”Hello Raea Love” he said, amused. And then he walked with her to the actual classroom, seeing as class was in a classroom rather than the auditorium for the first clas, which was fine by him! He didn’t mind either way, Drama was his favorite class. Drama was his favorite thing in general.

He smiled a Professor Hale when he entered. ”Morning Professor” he said before taking a seat and waiting for Raea to take one as well. He looked over the sheet in front of him and saw that it looked a lot like the one he had seen before, being that he had had this particular Professor before, in fact, she was his mentor. He wasn’t afraid of the research paper either, he knew he’d do well…he just did well in drama. He signed his name on the paper easily without a second thought and listened to his favorite professor talk while he sat at his desk, actually glad for classes to be starting again.

[Eva Teague]

Eva brushed her hair in the mirror of her bedroom and sighed, as she felt a yawn coming on. She had to get up early today. Why did she have to get up early you may ask? Why? because she had to go to class today. She rolled her eyes a bit flinging her dyed Red locks back behind her shoulders.

She didn't mind class, it was just the early time in the morning that always bothered her. Why should she have to ruin her beauty sleep just so she could go to some stuffy class room where she was going to learn about shit she didn't even care about?

Exactly. Not that this argument would hold up in court or anything. She grinned a little at that and tugged her red cut tee down a bit over her Red plaid skirt. It was her favorite outfit, a long with some red fishnets and combat boots she was pretty much good to go as soon as she grabbed her notebook and pen.

There was one bright side to all this early crap. Her first class was Drama. She loved acting, she thought she was a pretty good actress and she tried to act as much as she could. Even so she didn't even try out for the musical, she shrugged thinking about it as she walked out of her dorm room that she stayed in most of the time.

She hadn't joined because she hadn't felt like it. It had been a bad time and if she had her way, then she would have gotten herself a second chance so that she could go and try out so she could have some part. Hopefully a part where she got to sing. Eva didn't flaunt it much, but she loved to sing and she was not half bad at it either.

The wind whipped around her as she headed to where the class rooms were but she didn't feel it much . She shrugged it off, her red hair bouncing as she walked and her blue eyes were a little glassy from the cold despite her not really feeling it much.

She smiled as she reached the Drama room, seeing a few familiar faces and then sitting herself in the back of the room, then looking at the rules. They were simple enough. She listened to the Professor whom she knew from seeing her several times in passing as she walked longingly passed the auditorium. She would enjoy this class. Hell this would probably be the only class that Eva would enjoy. She opened her book and took out her red and smiled. She was going to pay attention to this class if it was the last thing she did. How dramatic.
