Play

Hey guys! First post on Barefoot Cinderella! Pretty exciting, huh???!!!!

Soooo anyway, yesterday at school our teacher made a HUGE announcement!

The whole class was WILD. Paper airplanes were being thrown everywhere, chairs were being knocked over, and girls were gossiping on the beanbag chairs in the corner of the classroom. The boys were having their own "mini" football game inside and the cheerleaders were cheering loudly. It was so loud that I decided I would sit on the other side of the classroom and read my book (The Penderwicks--great book, I recommend it!)

Suddenly, everyone heard a door open and the clack of a teacher's high heels on the hard wood floors. Everyone instantly stopped talking and sprinted back to their desks, expecting Mrs. Cameron to start yelling at them.

But she smiled!

"Hellloooooo, class!" she said cheerfully.

"Um, good morning Mrs. Cameron..." we all said half-heartidly.

"I have some EXCITING news!" She blurted out. The way she said exciting was the way people say, you WIN! We are all really shocked at her cheery-ness.

"We are having..." she pulled out a small flyer, "A SCHOOL PLAY!"
A couple of drama-freaks started clapping like mad, and the others clapped and whispered to eachother.

"The play is...CINDERELLA!" Mrs. Cameron said, answering our mental questions.
The popular blonde-haired girl instantly jabbered on and on about how THEY would be the PERFECT part for Cinderella and dragged their boyfriends into trying out to be the prince. I just sat there quietly.

"I'm going to let you all have a break to chat with your friends while I get some coffee! Oh, and did I ever tell you I used to be in the theatre business? Oh, I was the leading roll as Annie!" She almost skipped out of the room. Suddenly, she put her head back in the doorway and said, "I'm the director and try-outs are next week! Grab a flyer, little angels!!"

OMG. The strictest teacher in our school called us "little angels..!" I mean, she must REALLY like acting!

"Hey Lanie," Matt said as he pulled me onto his lap. *kiss*

Kanani ran up to me and said, "LANIE! You would be PERFECT for the part of Cinderella! Try out! Try out! Try out!"

I sat there, thinking about it.

"She's right, Lanie," Matt and Mia said at the same time. "JINX!" they both yelled, then laughed.

"Well...okay...I'll try out." I said.
