DAD
She didn’t want you. She wanted to kill you, but I didn’t. I took you from her, without her knowing.

KALLISTO

KALLISTO
Why not, I’m not a child any more. As you know.

DOROS
Wanna a ride?

KALLSITO
Ummmm… It’s okay I can get there without your help.

DOROS
Why not. Are you scared of me? Haha

KALLISTO
No I just don’t want to bother you.

DOROS
(with a laugh)
It’s okay. I’m going to the same place anyways.

KALLISTO
(confusedly gets into the car )
Okay. I guess I will try not to bother you, so we can get there faster.

DOROS
Yea we can get there faster, if only you will get inside of the car quicker.

KALLISTO
Just shut up and turn on the engine.

DOROS
Babe what’s all that hurry for?

KALLISTO
Ughhh… Why am I here??

Doros turns on the music really loud
Come here girl
Go ahead, be gone with it
Come to the back
Go ahead, be gone with itVIP
Go ahead, be gone with it
Drinks on me
Go ahead, be gone with it
Let me see what you’re working with
Go ahead, be gone with it
Look at those hips
Go ahead, be gone with it
You make me smile
Go ahead, be gone with it
Go ahead child
Go ahead, be gone with it

(her voice cracks up)
I don’t know either, let’s just go.

DOROS
Sure! Man, this street looks junkie.

They laugh and leave the house, but Kallisto is still looking back.

Kallisto is too scared to meet her mom, and too embarrassed to do it in front of Doros. On their way back to Doros’s house they meet JULIAN, Doros’s old friend.

KALLISTO
I’m here to see Ms. Leda.

MRS. IOANNA
Who are you? And why do you want to see her?

KALLISTO
My name is Kallisto and I’m here to see, my mom.

As she sad those words the tears from Mrs. Ioanna start to roll down her cheeks so she said to Kallisto to come in. As soon as Kallisto enters the room she sees some old pictures on the commode. She gets a close look up at them and sees someone that looks exactly like her.

KALLISTO
Who is this girl?

MRS. IOANNA
Oh that… well this is my one and only daughter, but to you she is your mom.

KALLISTO
So that means…
(stops to think)
that means you are my grandmother!

MRS. IOANNA
Yes, come here child.

Kallisto walk slowly toward Mrs. Ioanna, she is totally confused about this whole situation. They hug and Kallisto runs back to the couch.

MRS. IOANNA
But I have something important to tell you my little kid.

KALLISTO
What is it?

MRS. IOANNA
It’s not the best news for you right now…

KALLISTO
Oh my gosh… then I don’t want to hear it. Everything is perfect I don’t want anything to ruin this day.

MRS. IOANNA
No you have to hear it. This is the whole reason why you came here.

Both of them sit down on the couch and Mrs. Ioanna starts to tell her the life story of Leda.

KALLISTO
Who is that little girl that you were talking about?

MRS. IOANNA
It’s you my cutie pie, who else would be there???

KALLISTO
But I thought my dad took me away from my mom.

MRS. IOANNA
Did he tell you that?? That big fat liar..

KALLISTO
What do you mean???

MRS. IOANNA
You “dad” left the city after you were born, because he said that it was not his child.

Kallisto though of all these adventures that happened to her in one day, and was amazed. Mrs. Ioanna took her upstairs and told her to go to sleep. She does to bed and sees a dream that Doros is kissing Julian.


Scene seven: EXT- ON THE CEMETRY- MORNING/DAY

In the morning Mrs. Ioanna takes Kallisto to her mother’s grave. On the way there Kallisto mentions someone really familiar, but ignores it because she has something more important to do.


KALLISTO (VO)
Why did you have to leave me like that? Why couldn’t you wait few more years? Why didn’t seek me? Is it all my fault? Should I blame myself?
(wipes off her tears)
I really wish I could see you now. I wish you were here beside me.
(smiles through her tears)
But you know there is actually a good side to this. I got to meet my real grandmother and the boy that I love. Oh by the way his name is Doros Jasper. We go to the same school, but we never knew each other.
(puts down her flowers)
Well its time for me to go. Just don’t forget me and watch over me there and be happy for me. May God bless you!

Oh that’s my granddaughter she came visit me too few days ago.

MRS. SMITH
I think that they are about the same age as my grandson.

MRS. IOANNA
Well why don’t you call him over and they will meet each other.

MRS. SMITH
Oh I am so sorry, I just cant think right now all of this stuff just suddenly fell on my head! Honey come over here!!!

KALLISTO
What’s wrong?

DOROS
Oh just my family stuff… well my dad died yesterday night.

KALLISTO
Awww. I’m so sorry that those things happened to you, but remember you have me!

Dear Kallisto,

I heard what happened between you and Doros. He is just that kind of guy. Anyways the reason why I wanted to send you this letter is because you left so sudden and we couldn’t even talk the things over with you. I will make it short. I just really want to see you again.
Love your
Granny♥

P.S. Don’t worry about you and Doros. I hope that you enjoyed your two weeks in Kastoria. I know your journey was tough, but remember no matter how hard your journey is the results are worth it.

She puts the letter back into the envelope with tears coming out of her eyes. She gets dressed to go to school and mumbling a song to herself.

“You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day.”

At school.

She sits in a math class. And the announcement goes on and she hears Doros’s voice.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Kallisto Naomi please come to the back of the school. Right now! Please come to back of the school.

Everyone in the class around to face her, her face gets red. She looks at the teacher.

TEACHER
Well go if you it is really important for you.

KALLISTO
Thank you Mrs. Argyris

She runs off form the classroom. Everyone in the class goes

CLASSMATES

In the hallway there are tons of balloons. When she exits the school building she runs behind the building and sees Doros standing there with a huge bouquet of tulips, her favorite flowers.

DOROS
Hey!

KALISTO
Hey there.

DOROS
Um… I’m really sorry about what happened in Kastoria. I didn’t want to kiss her. She like jumped on me like a lion on a piece of meat.

DOROS
I love you.

KALLISTO
Well prove it.

They kiss and the music turns on.

And then we kiss
Your love comes alive on my lips
I feel a rush Coming over me, over me
And when we touch
This moment when everything's still
I close my eyes And then we kiss

Carrer Research Essay<3

I want my life and everything that would happen to me in a close future to be fortunate, and successful. I want to have a good job, a loving and caring family. My ideal job would be that interests me, gives me a good salary and from which I could move on to something new. But to have all these qualities included in my career I have to start to work on it now, so I could achieve my goal in few years. In my opinion that the best time to start to think about it is now, then after when I do not have that much time to think. For right now I am interested in one career- flight attendant. In these next few paragraphs, I would like to tell you something about me and my future career that I chose because of my personality consideration, this job interests me and I would love to experience something different and new and the best career that fits all these consideration is a flight attendant.I'm an extremely shy person, especially when it comes to teachers and adults. I know that all the flight attendants must be talkative and not scared to talk to people. As I took a test, the results said that people that have similar personality like me "...have a wide range and variety of emotions and a great passion for novelty, and can become bored quickly with both situations and people, and resist repeating experience."(Keirsey 6) Throughout my life I found myself being an emotional person. I find myself hiding a lot of feeling inside of me which I do not usually share with my friends or anyone else and in my opinion it is a good quality for flight attendants, because "Flight attendants must remain pleasant and efficient, regardless of how tired they are or how demanding passengers may be. Occasionally, flight attendants must deal with disruptive passengers" (Flight Attendant 1).This job has advantages and disadvantages. Job as a flight attendant is hard and not safe in a way. In my opinion this job has a few of bad qualities for example: "Flight attendants stand during much of the flight and must remain pleasant and efficient, regardless of how tired they are or how demanding passengers may be. Occasionally, flight attendants must deal with disruptive passengers. Also, turbulent flights can add to possible difficulties regarding service, including potential injuries to passengers" (Flight Attendant 2). Job as a flight is sometimes inexact; your schedule can change at anytime. You might have to get to your job during your weekend or any other events. It actually depends on which situation you are in. "Some flight attendants become supervisors or take on additional duties such as recruiting and instructing. Their experience also may qualify them for numerous airline-related jobs involving contact with the public, such as reservation ticket agent or public-relations specialist" (Flight Attendant 3). I think that I could stay at the same job for a quite long time and after I could get higher and more specialized in the flight hospitality area.On the other hand there are some good things about being a flight attendant. You can build new relationships, make friends, if you are a person that enjoys talking to people or just a really social person this job would be fun and enjoyable for you. Flights attendants are usually are the people that travel a lot around the world and when they do that they would not have to pay for the hotel and food. "Some airlines may provide transportation to the training centers and an allowance for room, board, and school supplies, while other airlines charge individuals for training" (Flight Attendant 4).A research that was taken in 1997says that "More and more people are flying regularly today for business and pleasure, and some estimates say that the number of people flying will increase more than 60 percent over the next decade. To meet the needs of the traveling public, airline companies are using larger planes in adding more flights. Because federal regulations require at least one attendant on duty for every fifty passengers aboard a plane, this means there will be many more openings for flight attendants" (Brymer, Bill 36). That means that it would be easy to get this job in a short period of time, but at the same time all individual that want this job should go through the training that might last three to eight weeks. The research that was taken few years ago, in 2004 says "Flight attendants held about 102,000 jobs in 2004. Commercial airlines employed the vast majority of flight attendants, most of who lived in their employer's home- base city. A small number of flight attendants worked for large companies that operated aircraft for business purposes" (Flight Attendant 5).Most of the flight attendants salary is about 31.310$ to 67.3590$. I do not think that it is fair for this job just to get this much money, because this job is not insecure and scary for some reasons. Even though they do not get paid as much as they should, the airlines provide their workers hospitality and meal expenses, also the family members get to travel free if they use the airlines where the flight attendant works. (Brymer, Bill 36) While researching this job I found out some things that I never knew about, and now when I know more than half of the things flight attendant should know before they get hired I am still not sure if this is what I want my future to be like. I don't like spending holidays and weekends away from my family, but that is what exactly flight attendant's should do. While researching this topic I learned most of the disadvantages of this job and it confused me, but I am still looking forward my future, and you never know what life could do to you.
