Michael, act your age!
Michael's POV
I hide behind the huge curtain at rehearsal. My manager, Frank, is looking for me. I hold in my laughter as I see him looking for me.
"Michael! Come on, stop playing. We got to rehearse!"
I have a water balloon in my hand. My heart is beating with excitement. When I see him at center stage and jump out and throw it at him. It hits him and bursts. He's drenched with water. I immediately start laughing. The other dancers begin to laugh as well. I wait for him to laugh, but he doesn't. Instead, he gets angry.
"Michael, stop acting like a child! This no time for games! Act your age!"
I stop laughing. So does everyone else. I feel ashamed and embarrassed.
"I'm...I'm sorry, Frank. We just work to hard and I thought we could use a break."
Frank looks at me pissed as ever.
"If you need a break, do it like all the other adults around here! Not like some six year old."
I put my head down. "Ok..."
He walks over to me and grabs my shoulder.
"I'm sorry for yelling. I just need you to be mature. This is one of the biggest shows we're doing. I want everything perfect. Just try and keep it down a notch."
I nod.
I'm sitting in my dressing room thinking of a way to get my girlfriend. Her name is Lisa. I really love her. She has a career in singing and song-writing. I want to marry her one day. I pull out my water gun. The super soaker! I smile to myself. She's going to be so surprised. I get up to leave, but stop. What will her reaction be? Will she react like Frank? No way. She's just like me.
I sneak the small water gun under my shirt and leave my dressing room. She's waiting in my limo. I get in all natural like.
"Hi babe."
We kiss.
"Hi."
I slowly pull the water gun out and have it sit next to me. She's across from me on her phone.
"So, how are you?"
She smiles. "I'm fine. Wonderful actually."
I nod. "Good, good."
"Tell me about your day."
When she started talking, I aimed the water gun at her and started firing. I was laughing while she was screaming. I thought it was a ha-ha scream, but it wasn't. She threw her hands down in frustration.
"What the hell, Michael!"
I slowly stopped laughing. I fake cough and say,
"That's not funny to you?"
"No! I have an interview to get too! Why can't you stop being so childish!"
When she said that, the limo pulled over to her interview. She storms out of the limo. I stick my head out the window and yell,
"I'm sorry!"
People see me and start running toward the limo. Crap. Lisa clenches her jaw in anger. I just screwed up again.
"Go go go!"
The limo speeds off.
"Go to Neverland."
