Mitchie: Hey, I’m Mitchie, and I’m a Textaholic
(Everybody in the Textaholics meeting claps)
All: You go girl, LYLAS
Narration: These were my people. The textaholics
(Everyone else starts introducing themselves, but Mitchie’s paying no attention, she’s busy texting. The name ‘Demi’ shows up on her Sidekick)
Narration: Demi’s my best friend, but she can be a little…you know

Mitchie: Eeeeeee!!! (Squeal)
(Glances up, and everybody is staring)
(Mitchie quickly texts back, closes the phone, and puts it away)
Teacher: Give me the phone, Mitchie. That goes for everybody. I know you have them with you!
(Everybody sighs and groans as the teacher collects their phones)
Teacher: C’mon Elena, hand it over
(Elena tries to run out of the room, clutching her phone to her chest)
Elena: No! No! Not my baby!
Teacher: Okay, I won’t take it, okay? Just sit down and calm down (Making calming gestures)
(Elena slowly sits down, cautiously, then breaths a sigh of relief)
(The teacher quickly snatches the phone)
Teacher: Ha!
(Teacher goes to take phone from Random Girl, who holds it out then snatches it back)
Random Girl: Jk! Sorry, lol, here
(Snatches it back)
Random Girl: Jk! Haha, im just kiddin, here
(Tries to snatch it back, but teacher grabs it. They fight over it)
Random Girl: J-J,-J, ahh! K… (Whining/crying on the ‘k’)
(Teacher puts the phones in a bin. The girls start whispering, passing something around the circle of chairs)
Elena: Tackle her, and we can get the phones back! (Whispering with a mischievous smile. Mitchie shrugs, and takes out a blackberry)
Random Girl: 1…2…GO!
(They all tackle the teacher and grab the phones except for Mitchie. Elena drops Mitchie’s sidekick on her lap, already immersed in texting)
Narration: As you can see, I am still obsessed with texting even after what Tyler did. It all started last week…
(Dream music, fade out)
