I’d heard about it but I didn’t really know what it was about, so I started skimming through the pages while I was waiting for the xerox machine.
It was about a man who lived more than a hundred years ago named John Merrick who was terribly deformed.
“We can’t do this play, Mr. D,” I told him when I got back to class, and I told him why:
my little brother has a birth defect and has a deformed face and this play would hit too close to home.
He seemed annoyed and a little unsympathetic, but I kind of said that my parents would have a real issue with the school doing this play.
So anyway, he ended up switching to Our Town. I think I went for the role of Emily Gibbs because I knew Via was going to go for it, too.
It never occurred to me that I’d beat her for the role.
What I Miss Most
One of the things I miss the most about Via’s friendship is her family. I loved her mom and dad.
They were always so welcoming and nice to me. I knew they loved their kids more than anything.
I always felt safe around them: safer than anywhere else in the world.
How pathetic that I felt safer in someone else’s house than in my own, right?
