This Weird Scene 1

Okay, so just to tell you now, there's people in my head. Alot of them. And it's really, super hard to get them to shut up. By people, I mean of course my characters. As a writer, sometimes random characters pop up into my mind and begin to have a conversation. Sometimes the scenes that I "hear" don't even match, and that's part of the reason why it's so difficult. I'll be dealing with Emma and Jason and the next minute they're gone and Greg and Tina are feeling like a chat. It's really weird. I'm not crazy-- I guess I'm just really into what I do. So, in order to make this blog a bit more interesting, I've decided to post my crazy people here for you. Word for word, the conversations they have. And the scary part is, I have no control over the things they do or say...
Characters: Joshua and Megan
Scene: An empty classroom

Megan paced the floor as if there were nothing to do. She writhed her hands together, over and over again. Josh was becoming very difficult.
"Josh, please, just once," she pleaded, staring him in the eyes with an intesity so great that he almost gave in. "Please, just tell me what happened."
Joshua felt a surge of panic. Megan was serious. She needed to know, she had a right to know.
"No."
Megan groaned and let herself slowly dissolve to the floor. There was no time for fooling around.
"Josh, c'mon, don't do this," she whimpered, holding her head between her hands and occasionally peeking up to stare at him. His expression was cold, hard, motionless.
"I can't." Josh got up from the other side of the room to sit next to Megan. He akwardly placed his arm around her shoulder. She sunk into him, hopeless and tired. He inhaled her sweet smell.
"Megan, if I tell you, there's no going back."
"I understand."
"No, you don't."
Megan angrily pulled away from Josh to look into his face. She placed a hand under his chin to make it directly in front of hers.
"Joshua Girten, I may not understand a word. I may not know the entire point of your information, but Josh, I need to know."
"Okay," he whispered, finally giving in to Megan's plead.
He stood up, walked accross the room, and placed his head in the sink.
"Turn on the water," he ordered. Megan hesitantly rose from her position and slowly turned the faucet nob. Ice water splashed accross Josh's cheek. Megan gasped.
She had no idea that it would be that bad.

That's my weird little scene that I saw today. It's completely frustrating, because even though that scene was in my mind, I have no idea what's happening to Josh. And I really, really, want to know. My basic interpretation of the whole thing was that Megan is dating Josh, they're in highschool, and somehow they got into an empty classroom at night. Josh obviously has this secret that he won't reveal, and Megan really wants to know. I know that the whole thing has to do with Josh's skin or something. That's the only explanation for the water. Anyway, I'll keep posting followups (If Megan and Josh come back again) and I'll also post other weird scenes involving other characters.
Bye!
