Dialogue Essays: Kermit Sings

At lunch, I sat with Aera and Angel on the cement bench. We laughed as Angel showed us a video: Kermit Sings. “Dude,” Aera voiced. “This is everything.” Kermit sat on a stool, singing some rather disturbing songs to a group of children, driving one of them to tears. “Thanks for ruining my childhood,” I said after the video was over. “Any time,” Angel declared, cheerily. “I’m going to go find Jason and just scream ‘Billy!’” Aera laughed, jumping up to find Jason. “I wonder why I’m friends with you guys sometimes,” I admitted. Angel chuckled. “You know you love us.” “Do I? Do I really?” “Hey,” I looked up to see Finn leaning against the wall with a big smile plastered across his face. Angel face lit up with a grin. “Hey yourself,” …show more content…
I grabbed my backpack, and we started towards the geography classroom. Rose joined us. “Hey,” she greeted, nudging Hazel. “I saw you with Boyd.” Hazel groaned. “What happened,” I asked. She sighed. “I agreed to walk home with him today. He said he just wanted to talk like friends.” “I don’t get why you’re so against dating him,” Rose voiced. “It seems like he’s really changed.” “I don’t know,” Hazel shrugged. “When we were friends, I sort of had a crush on him. But I knew he didn’t like me back, so I let go. I burned that bridge. If I did date him, I would be moving backwards not forwards.” “Well,” I voiced. “Sometimes you have to take a step backwards to take two steps forward.” “Whatever,” Hazel said. “What’s going on with you?” she asked Rose. “I feel like we haven’t talked in forever.” Rose shrugged. “I don’t know.” She smiled. “I kinda think me and Cason are gonna date.” “Aw,” Hazel and I proclaimed in unison. “That’s so cute.” Rose grinned. “And you?” She nodded toward Angel. “How are things with you and Finn?” “Good,” I nodded. “So good that I think I might be getting suckered.

When I returned home, I went straight to my room, per usual. What wasn’t per usual, was Leslie and Leyla lying in wait for me. “So?” They voiced in unison. I rolled my eyes. “Do you not have enough of your own problems?” “We’re never too busy to bug you, Haze,” Leyla grinned. I sighed, sitting down on my bed. “There’s nothing really worth mentioning.” “You did walk home with him didn’t you?” Leslie asked. “I did.” “And?” I shrugged. “We just talked.” “And?” Leyla continued to prod. They were not going to leave me alone. I sighed. “It’s just like we’re starting over. He really has changed a lot.” “For better or worse?” Leslie wondered. “I don’t know.” I racked my brain, the conversation had blurred together. “His favorite color used to be red, but now it’s green. He say green is a much more chill color.” “So is he trying to say that he’s a much more chill guy now?” Leyla voiced. I gave another shrug. “I’m not sure
