I awoke blearily, shielding my eyes from the evil light flowing through my blinds. I’d just recently replaced them for the fourth time. For some reason, I’m always breaking them… I lay on a beanbag chair with my homework spread out around me. I picked up the stuff (both mine and Ty’s), and headed down the stairs. Ty was still asleep on my bed upstairs, so I began making breakfast. Twacko had an omelet, Juli had a fruit smoothie and a bowl of oatmeal, Ty ate poptarts (at my insistence), and I ate the leftovers. Everyone woke up on their own time in this house, even when mom was here.

I made sure everyone got into their uniforms, Twacko and Juli went to Corent Private School which was grades 1-12. Mom didn’t let me go there. She said ‘sending three kids to a private school is just too much for my wallet to handle.’ I was the firstborn and had to have the hardest time as far as academics. My father wanted it that way. Personally, I believe that’s why my mom travels. To find out where he went.

After seeing the munchkins off to the subway station, Ty and I began the trek to Deimon. We arrived just in time.

Homeroom was a bitch as per usual, and I took my seat. I learned what our class was doing for the cultural festival, though. We’re putting on a play. An original play based on ‘Red Riding Hood’. I didn’t see how they could make that modern, but we would see.

I didn’t really pay any attention until they said that the characters had been decided. This interested me. Would Fujinami (the class leader/heartthrob) be the wolf, or maybe the woodsman? They began writing the names on the board, and I nearly had a heart attack. They must have told us that they’d be using volunteers from other classes, but I, once again, was not listening.

What did they write?

Red: Tsuri Talai the girl who I drew as an ogre.
Grandma: Longman Aditi so sue me for having the weirdest name in the class.
Mother: Werston Tyra so Ty was getting into this as well?
Wolfe (guns): Hiruma good god. How did they convince him?!
Woodsman (karate): Momoshiro Fuji Karate captain, of course.
Pink: Moshi Matti the preppy-est girl in our class.
Neighbors: everyone who doesn’t actually have a part how kind…
Hobo in park called Crazy Eddie: Zoshi Jo I feel so sorry for that guy… not only does his name suck, but he’s a weirdo too.
Harajuku Girl: Wasashi Shoji the only sane girl in the room besides me.
Meddling Gma Neighbor (Jew?): Hari Nami a shy girl who once went against the grain and was never the same again
Dope Pusher: Toriko Renji class clown.
Jail/Cop: Ejiro Eto the class badass.

They also gave out a flyer with the plot in it.

Wow, aren’t we SO organized? As I looked at the plot, I realized, I would have to work with Ogre… a lot. I hate people with sick senses of humor like this.

At lunch I told Ty about it and she looked half-pissed and half-amused. “Grandma, huh?” she puffed her ciggie, “Wish my Grandma was this cool.”
