One Month After

Today was exactly one month after the show and cast party of The Little Mermaid.  I think it is appropriate to give an update on how well I've been keeping in touch.

• ES: We're still in acting and musical theater class together, and have a good time with those.  She's the only one from the show that I see on a regular basis now.
• ER: We ran into each other at WDA, but that's not uncommon.  We'll keep seeing each other 30 seconds a week for a while.
• RD and RS: Both good friends of A.  I've seen and will continue to see them at my house.
• JI: I've texted her a lot.  She's one of the few people who actually contacts me first sometimes.  We've just had a lot of brief conversations.
• KD: We've kept in touch by text.  We've been working on the story together, though we haven't been able to work as much on it as we did when we first started.  I haven't actually seen her since the middle school winter chorus concert.
• MC: Although we haven't really texted, we've actually seen each other on more than one occasion.  She was at the Disney Marathon, and also there when us and KR went to see Les Miserablés.  I feel though that KR is the bond holding us together.
• BF: As I mentioned, she was there on 12/22/12 when we went into town.  However, we haven't seen each other after that.  We've kept in touch, and she's been working with me to discover both who sent that mystery note, and who is Another Generation Jump (see To My Readers:), both without success so far.  We agreed to see each other more, now that she has to leave, though I don't exactly know when that's going to happen yet.
• KR: Of all the people, I've kept in touch with her the most.  I've seen her several times, between the Chorus Concert, when BF, she, and I went into town, at the Disney Marathon, and when we went to see Les Miserablés.  Although I haven't (and don't plan to) elaborate on what happened at Les Mis, we both had a great time.  She currently makes up more than half the total texts in my phone, and almost always texts me both in the morning, and after school.  I truly feel that we've become really close with each other, and that will always remain.

The sad thing is that other than that, and the few people I also saw at the chorus concert, I haven't really kept in touch with anyone.

The good news is that I'm going to see everyone one last time.  For the grand opening of the new middle school, numbers from Little Mermaid are going to be performed twice, at the Open House on 1/26, and at the Music Gala and 1/28.  Although I can't go to the open house, I will be rehearsing with the cast the day before, and should be able to attend the Gala.  I'm going to love seeing everyone again. But hopefully that won't be the final time.
