Heartache And Other Natural Shocks (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
I’m sitting in Mr. Gabor’s office, and he’s giving me a lecture about swords and safety. I nod in all the right places, but inside, I’m fuming because Ian is such a prick! He knows I hate Julia. He picked her as a partner just to get back at me. And why? Because I teased him? Can’t the guy take a joke? I mean, how was I supposed to know that fencing is such a big deal to him? Who does fencing? It’s not like he ever talked about it. And why did he have to be pawing Julia, “correcting her technique”? How cliché! “Cabrielli!” Mr. Gabor snaps at me. I guess he can tell I’m not really listening. “What?” I say. “I am not speaking for my own edification.” I hate when teachers use big words like that, but I get the gist. “I’m having a bad day,” I say. “I thought you were serious about drama,” Mr. Gabor says. “I am!” I insist. “I love drama. It’s my favorite subject. I even want to do Hamlet.” Mr. Gabor looks surprised. “What?” I say. “You don’t think I can handle it?”
