As you know, Ms. D and Mr. M decided to have a talk with all the yall’s on Saturday.

After the
meeting, I felt hurt, angry, and devastated for both my friends and myself.
Ms. D was telling us how we would be fired if this was professional. She specifically said, “I
requested some of you not be in my shows, and you still show up.” She told us to raise our
hands if we have heard something negative about her. We all raised our hands. She then went
one by one asking what we were told and who told us. When it was my turn, I told her what I
heard from Twinderella. I told her how she cut songs because she didn’t like their singing
voices. D then said she thought the girl who played Cinderella couldn’t sing, and gave her the
part because she thought she wouldn’t get leads and thought the girl was capable of playing a
lead. D then saw So, the one who ran lights, crying and said how she is the only one she liked.
May I add, I have nothing against So. D then explained how she expected us to not be children
who thinks it’s okay to make mistakes. She said that. I remember her saying that.
We are thirteen, we just became teenagers. Teenagers make mistakes. Teenagers don’t know
how to handle some situations. I wanted to yell and curse at her. I wanted to stick up for myself
and my friends, but I didn't. I couldn't. I had a job to move set pieces, and I didn't want to
jeopardize it. If I happen to come next summer, I will remove myself from any class, job, or play
if Ms. D and Mr. M are the ones who I have to be around.
