"Hurry up Hanna or we'll be late for our lesson!" Cassie called from the
front yard of Hanna's house.
"I'm coming I'm coming, "Hanna called from the door as she was putting her
shoes on.
They climbed on their bikes and headed down the street to their friends
house. She was hosting the tryouts for the parts in the school play.
Little did these two girls know what would happen to them.
"Girls I'm so glad you could make it today." The drama teacher at their
school said. "Fill these forms out and hand them back to me."
When Cassie looked at the for this is what it looked like:
Name: _________________________________________
Grade: ________________________________________
Age: __________________________________________
Elective: _____________________________________
Do you ride horses a lot? Yes No A little Can you use a bow and arrow? Yes No A little Can you use a sword? Yes No A little Can you use a spear? Yes No A little Do you like midevil times? Yes No A little Role: _________________________________________
Have you ever been in a play before? Yes No
Teacher use only: Round 1 2 3 4 5 Part: _________________________________________
After everyone had filled their forms out the teacher took them up and told everyone to wait while they went through the preliminary round. After the teacher left the students all got up except for Cassie who was deep in thought. When the teacher came back she handed everyone back their forms. If it did not have a circle around round 1 they were to go home. Cassie saw 5 people get up. Then the teacher brought in a specialist. She was going to talk to each person individually. Sometimes she might take two people. Each day was a different round. Hanna and Cassie made it to the fifth day. When the specialist called both of them they knew it was not good. "Sit please and don't interrupt me when I am talking. Understand?" She asked "Yes" "Okay, I think it would be best if you two did not get the leading parts in the play. Even though you deserve it I will give it someone else. You might ask why and I will tell you later. Go to Hanna's house and wait there for me. I will come later and explain. Oh by the way my name is Alanna." Her eyes crinkled with laughter as Cassie thought hard to remember where she heard that name before. Cassie and Hanna walked out of the house and rode their bikes home. When they got there they thought of all the possible reasons they were dismissed.
