Day 4: Read My Lips Character Interview


Today we’re talking to Patrice, one of the leaders of an exclusive secret high school sorority and Serena, skate chick extraordinaire and Patrice’s nemesis.

Patrice: Oh, she’s not my nemesis, now. We’re friends. Right, Serena?

Serena: Sure, Patrice. Whatever you say.

Patrice: (Flipping her blond hair back.) Of course, we are. Honestly, I get along with most everyone. If I want to.

Serena: (Snort)

Patrice: What? I do!

2k8: Excuse me? Can we get started on the interview now?

Patrice: Go for it, I’m not stopping you.

2k8: Um, thanks? Serena, what’s it like starting a new school in the middle of high school?

Serena: I guess pretty much the same as is it for everyone. I think being deaf just made it that much harder, cause you know, people are weird.

Patrice: No, we liked you right off.

Serena: (rolling eyes) No. Rachel liked me right off. You didn’t even look at me until you found out how well I can read lips.

Patrice: That is so not true! But you have to admit that is an extraordinary talent.

Serena: It is so true! The minute you found out you had me digging up all the school gossip!

Patrice: (Laughing) Well, it was a lot of fun!

2k8: (Jumping in) Patrice, what else did you like about Serena besides her talent for reading lips?

Patrice: Serena is a G. Other than her questionable taste in guys…

Serena: (Interrupting) Leave Miller out of this!

Patrice: … she’s got a lot of guts. She even took me on and that’s no easy task, trust me.

2k8: So what’s the sorority going to look like next year?

Patrice: Oh, it'll be better than ever! I’m going to…

Serena: Shut up Patrice! Let people read the book!

Patrice: Don’t tell me to shut up!

2k8: And I think that concludes this interview…

Serena: Well, don’t say things you’re not supposed to and I won’t!

Patrice: I never say things I’m not supposed to!

Serena: (Snort)
