I'm so sorry I haven't posted in such a long time! I fully intend to post after school today or tomorrow, the internet's all messed up here.

Dear Diary,
We have officially entered tech week, which is terrifying. The set won't be completely done until Wednesday, and WE OPEN ON FRIDAY. FRIDAY. I'M FREAKING OUT. We have rehearsal every night until at least 8, some nights go until 9. I mean, I know it's not that late but we're at rehearsal more than we're at actual classes. Not to mention the mounds of homework my math teacher enjoys giving us. I know, I shouldn't have taken an advanced class but I love math and I thought I could handle it. Too bad I can't drop math. Even while I'm as actual classes, the only thing I talk about or think about is The Wizard of Oz. I make weird references to it and doodle the Tin Man on my math homework (no, that does not have anything to do with Eric being the Tin Man at all...) I was sitting alone at lunch (Louisa was at an extra band rehearsal and Eliza was studying for math) when Eric dropped into the seat beside me. I looked up. "Oh, hey Eric! I didn't know you ate at first lunch today!"
"Oh, I have study hall. The teacher said I could go to first lunch if I wanted to. I didn't want you to be all alone!"
I smiled. "So how's your brother doing?" Eric's brother was in boot camp in California.
"Miserable."
I grinned, despite myself. Eric's brother Mark had always been sort of rude and full of himself.
He grinned back. "It's fine, I know how you feel about him. He's been whining about it on the phone but he's the one who signed up for it." The bell rang and I was off to the dreaded math class.
The homework was piling up in that class, and Eric was especially good at distracting people. Even when I was at home, we would constantly be texting or else face timing.
Speaking of that, someone's face timing me right now. I picked up my phone and saw that it was Jason.
"Hey Pidge." he said, tugging on his curly hair.
"Hey!"
"So, how are rehearsals going?" I told him, and we talked for a few minutes. I could tell he wanted to tell me something, though. He kept tugging on his hair, and he seemed inpatient.
"So, um Pidge." he said finally. "I was wondering, do you wanna go somewhere with me after the matinee on Saturday?"
I almost dropped my phone. No, no, not Jason please not Jason. Jason had a habit of getting a crush on any girl who looked at him. I hadn't been the object of his affections yet, but I guess now was my time. "Like a date?" I asked stupidly.
"Yeah, if you wanna call it that."
I kept my face blank. "No thanks. I'm kind of busy. My... er, my aunt's coming that day." Oldest excuse in the book. I'm sure he saw through it, but I actually don't care.
"Oh. Oh, well I gotta go do my Chemistry work. See you later." He hung up.
Darn it. I'd almost prefer Xavier to this. I am not looking forward to seeing Jason at school.

Dear Diary,
As predicted, seeing Jason as school today was extremely awkward. It was cringe-worthy, honestly. I kept my cool but he made it extra awkward. He wouldn't even look at me at lunch and whenever he saw me in the hallways he'd scurry off- very obviously, I might add. Oh well, at least it wasn't the other way around. I mean, if I confessed to Eric and he didn't like me back... well, I'd never show my face at school again. Honestly.
Oh crap, Lily's coming over. I wonder what she wants. Lily sat down for some odd reason. "Erm, no offense Lily but what are you doing here?"
"Mrs. Phillips (our History teacher) told me to sit here. It's not like I want to sit here, so don't think I tolerate you."
"The thought didn't even cross my mind." I said dryly, returning to my paper. If I ignored her, maybe she would resist making rude remarks.
"How's the musical going?" she asked. Why was she even trying to sound polite. I bet Mrs. Phillips was standing right behind us and Lily felt the need to put on a show of niceness.
"Good."
"You're Glinda, right?" she asked. As if she didn't know.
"Yeah." I still didn't look up.
"Why did she even cast you as Glinda? Glinda's not supposed to be black." I wish I could tell you that I said something in retaliation, something to defend myself but I didn't, diary. I just sat there like a lump, my face heating up. No one had heard her. I don't even know why she hates me so much.
As soon as I got home, I logged online to message Marge.
PidgeonGirl: Hey Marge
MargieCake: PIDGE!!! We haven't talked in forever! How r u?
PidgeonGirl: Umm, well Lily just completely insulted me today
PidgeonGirl: She told me that a black girl couldn't play Glinda
MargieCake: THAT (INCREDIBLY CENSORED- Marge went on a rant that included a lot of expletives)
An hour later
MargieCake: Oh!! I almost forgot! How's the Eric situation going?
PigdeonGirl: Umm..........
MargieCake: Ugh. I could set you up with someone from my school!! I've always wanted to be a matchmaker!!
PidgeonGirl: Nope, you don't have to.
MargieCake: YES! I know the perfect person!!
PidgeonGirl: You really don't have to
MargieCake: He's a SINGER!!
PidgeonGirl: Fine, whatever. At least it will keep Jason away. One date though.
Margiecake: Ooohh, what about Jason?
And then we discussed Jason and his odd habits until midnight. So now I'm set up for a date on Saturday, after the matinee. Which, coincidentally, is the same time Jason wanted to go out. Oh, the irony. I really hope "Ezra" won't mind a face covered with partially washed off stage makeup, because we have a show that night too.
