Today on my way to school, I decided to check online to see if it was posted! It was! So as I skim through the names, I see the name Abbey and my last name! It was strange, but since all the teachers yesterday who helped with auditions got my name wrong, I figured it was a typo. At school I am very confident. I made the call backs, which meant all the plays I have tried out for, I have made! Well, in Drama class, my teacher told us that even though we are on the call back list we are in the play, but the call backs would be for a bigger part. If you didnt get a big part, you would be ensemble. On the list it said I had to learn 2 songs for tomorrows call back audition. Which would be OK. After class, I go up to my teacher and say,
''Do you mind burning me a CD of the songs I need to learn?"
Her response was, ''Sure! Come back later and I will give it to you."
So during lunch I go to her and, unfortunatly, she didn't have my CD yet. After that I decided to wait until 7'th period to go again. In 7'th period I run up and ask my teacher if I can go to the Drama room. She said 'Yes, but you need to hurry!' So I went.
Finally when I arrive, I knock on the door. The teacher ushers me over and says this:
Her: "Um, I dont see you name on the list.."
Me: "Uh, I saw the name Abbey (my last name) and figured it was typo?"
Her: "Oh, no. I think that is a student from the other school.''
Me: ''Ok."
Then she said something about shuffling papers and how she must have not seen mine. (Or something like that.) I said OK and smiled. Then I left. When I left, my eye was starting to tear up. I really wanted this. And, once again, the favorites got the part. Go figure. I wanted this. And didn't get it. And once I got to thinking, I realized; How many people live in the same place as me with the same last name and just so happen to be on the play call back list? That's right. None. And if that name was mine, tomorrow I would be crazily unprepared. It's just so unfair. How am I supposed to get better if she keeps putting in the same people!?Anyway,
God Bless
