Story Time!

This is for Mandi. all right. so, my sophomore year, i was in a theater class. and we were covering Shakespeare. i love Shakespeare, most of the time. A lot of the time. :D
well, we all got into small groups, and we were supposed to be putting on small portions of A Midsummer Night's Dream. and Mallory and i were the girls, and one of the boys in our class and Mandi were the boys.
well, at one point, i was supposed to leap into Mandi's arms. so, while we were practicing, fortunately, i screamed at Mal-pal, and then she acted like she was going to hurt me, so i howled in fear and turned to leap into Mandi's arms...
and found myself laying on my back, staring at the ceiling and the concerned faces of my group.
i slowly sat up and said, "What happened?"
Mandi said, sheepishly, "Well, i wrote in my script that i was going to catch you there. and then Ty and i decided to roll our scripts up and sword fight. so i didn't remember to catch you when you jumped. so you leapt up in the air and i couldn't get my arms around you fast enough, and i caught your legs, and i a little bit dropped you on your head."
To which we howled with laughter for the rest of the period. and when we had to perform it for the rest of the people in our class, Mandi didn't forget. she almost forgot, but then she remembered and caught me and all went well.
i didn't plummet to my doom again. :D
