-September 1st 1959-

Cali's P.O.V

I wake up to the sound of my radio playing one of my favorite songs.

(Radio:Grease is the word is the word,is the word that you heard.It's got a groove it's got a meaning.Grease is the time is the place is the motion.Grease is the way we are feeling.)

I turn off the radio and I go to the kitchen eating a bagel.I then go back to my bedroom.

I put on my outfit for the day and put on my make up.

Afterwards I brush my hair and I style it to what I like.

As I put some of my lemon verbena perfume I see my older sister Betty Rizzo look into my bedroom.

Riz:Hey Caliatra.Wearing makeup now?.

Calia:Well ma did say I can when I joined highschool."Smiles".

Riz:The girls will be here soon.Marty and Jan are coming.Frenchy said she's getting a ride from her folks.You coming?.

Calia:Doody is walking me to school today.

Riz:Why is Doody walking you to school?.

Calia:No need to get overprotective he's just a friend.

Riz:Right."Draws out I".

Calia:Betty he is.What happened this summer with us hooking up was a one time thing.Hes got his eyes on a girl and I'm helping him get the girl."Smiles".Playing matchmaker is fun.

Riz:That matchmaker thing makes you sound like Frenchy.

Calia:"Chuckles".

I grab my school books and I go to the living room with Betty and we see our mom who smiles at us.

Meg:Awe there are my girls. Betty Blair Meg and Caliatra Jolene Victoria."Smiles".You girls have a great day at school.

Betty,Calia:Thanks mother.

I say my goodbyes and I leave the house to see Doody walking down the street.

Calia:Good morning Anthony."Smiles".

Doody:Good morning Caliatra.

Doody:Wearing make up?.

Calia:Had to grow up sometime.

Doody laughs and we continue talking as we walk to the highschool.When we get there we see Putzie and Sonny and we hear whistles when a lot of the guys at the highschool see me.

Sonny:Woah Caliatra Rizzo wearing makeup and a biker chick outfit?.

Calia:Yeah.Have a problem with that Sonny?.

Sonny:Nope.

Putzie:Hey little Rizzo.

Calia:Hey Putzie.

Doody takes Sonny's paper bag out of his hands and throws it to Putzie.Then Putzie throws it back to Doody and then falls in a bush which I laugh at.

Doody:You don't eat this you bury it.

Sonny:"Takes it".That's a homemade lunch.

Putzie:Your old lady drag her carcass out of bed for you?.

Sonny:She does it first day of school.

That's when we see Kenickie.

Putzie:Kenickie over here.

Kenickie:Where you at?.

Doody:We're right here.

Putzie:Where were you all summer?.

Kenickie:What're you my mother?.

Calia:"Chuckles".

Putzie:Just asking.

Kenickie:I was working which is more than you kids can say.

Sonny:Working?.

Kenickie:That's right I was lugging boxes at Bargain City Moron.

Sonny:"Mockingly".Nice job.

Doody:Eat me.

Kenickie:"Hits him".I'm saving up to get me some wheels.

Putzie:Wanna hear what I did?.

Kenickie:No.

Calia:Hey Kenickie."Smiles".

Kenickie:Cali I could hardly recognize you with the make up.

Calia:Haha very funny.

I playfully punch Kenickie's shoulder and he laughs. Kenickie has been an older brother figure since we met.

Doody:Hey there's Danny.

The boys all greet Danny.

Kenickie:You see any new broads over there?.

Danny:Nah same old chicks everybody's made them.

Doody:Hey uh so what'd you do all summer Danny huh?.

Danny:I was hanging around at the beach.You know.

Sonny:It's tough with all those chicks hanging around you.

Calia:The only thing that hangs around you Sonny are the flies.

The guys laugh at my teasing.

Kenickie:How was the action at the beach man?.

Danny:Whew.It was flipping.

Kenickie:Yeah?.Crazy?.

Danny:I did meet this one chick.She was sorta cool.

Sonny:You mean she puts out?.

Danny:Come on Sonny is that all you ever think about?.

Sonny:Freakin A."Puts on sunglasses".

The bell rings and we all head for the door leaving Sonny in the back of us.

Sonny:Hey guys wait up!.

I go to my locker and I put a photo of Me,Betty and our parents inside and then photos of Me,Betty and the Pink Ladies and then Me and the T-Birds.Afterwards I go to class and sit down not seeing any of my friends.

🎶As I go travelling down

life's highway.Whatever course my fortunes

may foretell.🎶

(Intercom:"Chimes".)

(

McGee:Good morning boys and girls.Welcome to what we're sure will be

All the classrooms cheer.

(McGee:It is our chance to show the entire nation what fine,bright, clean cut,wholesome students we have here at Rydell.)

*Time Lapse*

I take my lunch and i sit down at a table and I see my friends Stephanie and Paulette walk over and sit down.

Stephanie:Hey Cali.Finally wearing makeup.

Calia:Well we are finally in highschool so I can."Smiles".

Paulette:You look stunning Caliatra.

Calia:Thank you Paulette."Smiles".

Paulette:Did you guys see Johnny?.

Calia:No.

Stephanie:He's probably hanging with Goose and Louis.

Paulette:How's your sister Cali?.

Calia:She's fine last I knew.Shes happy she's a senior now so she can finish this year and get away from this dump.

Stephanie:I would be happy too.

Paulette:I'm gonna go see how Sharon and Rhonda are doing.

Calia,Stephanie:Okay.

Paulette gets up and walks away to see her other friends.

Stephanie:So I didn't say anything to Paulette about your summer thing.

Calia:Good cause i wouldn't want the news going around the school.

Stephanie:Yeah.But these days loosing your innocence isn't a big deal.

Calia:Yeah right."Huffs".My big sis made a big deal about it when i first told her.
