tedwordsPerformance! My parents didn't come tonight; they are planning on going tomorrow. Dad gave me the car for the night, but tomorrow I am bumming rides.
MB, Deb and I left to pick up Deb's dress at MB's. We passed Steve on the way and he said hi only to MB. I didn't let it get to me, or tried not to--and explained the whole thing to MB.
The performance itself went great. They videotaped it tonight. Sales were fairly good--as good, almost, as most plays at North High. We received our curtain calls before the show and frank gave a pep talk. The orchestra, especially the trumpets, were awful.
Between segments during Act Two, I walked alone for a while, and Steve came over to join me. He tried to be a bit nicer, but I was cold. Chet said that Steve had been very upset last night, so upset he had to sleep over Chet's house because he was in no condition to go home. Steve added more to this--he said he was close to total upset, wondering whether I got home last night. He said that he guesses that's what trusting someone does. He sounded very bitter and said that now I was going to be with Deb anyway, so it didn't matter.
I told him Deb could never fill his place and he knows that.
Well, we had to leave off our conversation as we had to go back into positions. Not much was accomplished, but Steve said he wanted to talk after the cast party. And talk we will, my friend. Talk we will.
