"So Judy has met Johan"

(Victoria enters her room and flings her handbag on the bed. Her face looks sad and worried while looking through the window. In the street a couple starts to kissing)

VICTORIA (apart):
I did not think about it before, I am not used to think about this sort of things...But listening at that song I cannot help it, many questions come to my mind.
As they sing, being "common people" does not necessarily have to be negative. I guess. What's more, they emphasize so much the differences between them and the richer classes that I strongly believe they are reivindicating their superiority...That leads me to believe that "common people" must have something special...Is there any truth on it? What do they have that rich people do not? "Authenticity"? A more intensive way of living?...Perhaps that is what Judy found so dazzling about Johan...
"So Judy has met Johan, Johan has met Judy...-told me Sam with a sarcastic smirk on his face- Do you wanna make a bet? Five days, soon afterwards he wil be fed up with her...What do you think?"...
I am getting upset of this. That disgusting damn guy...
However, analysing it, it is impossible not making comparisons.I mean, she is just like the girl who appears in that song. Judy also wants to be like common people. Maybe it seems funny to her. Maybe she is tired of snobism...who knows. She only wants to be part of his life simply because she loves him...Unfortunately I see how they laugh at her when she struggles to get used to things that she isn't. So...they also classify people into stereotypes as the rich do. She is just a spoilt wealthy girl who will never fail like common people. And I wonder if there is some truth in that stupid thought...I do not know if those jeerings are just thoughts in which they find consolation to their monotonous and poor lives, or on the contrary they are true and we are so much different...

(Someone knocks at the door and the sound brings her back to reality. Victoria opens and Judy appears on stage, lost in her own personal bliss)

  1. Quite a lot of text here - impressive result. I like that you created a dramatic setting.

    Not always the right idiomatic language choices, but nothing major wrong...

    I don't quite understand the song reference, so that would need clarification.

    How can "So Judy has met Johan" be your backwards seed phrase?

  2. The song I make reference is "common people" by Pulp.It gave me the idea for the writing game.I understand that I need to clarify the references, I am sorry.
    And "So Judy has met Johan" is my backwards phrase because the original one was "Johan has met Judy so..." I found it funny.
