[ACT ONE; SCENE THREE]: School is boring, so I wasn't going to narrate any longer, so it's now after school in the Martin Middle School auditorium. "Everyone who is interested in the role of Anya, please move to the front row!" Mrs. Duke had said. (She's our drama teacher.) I noticed that all the blonde, bratty, sort of rich girls stayed in the front row. Oh. The Ballet Girls. They are all popular, for no good reason. Nobody even likes them. "Yumi," Elora was saying to me. "Do you see your competition? Mrs. Duke is never going to cast you. She adores the Ballet Girls, for some reason." ..... Well, Elora was right, I had to admit it. I don't even look like I could play Anya, according to Mrs. Duke. (She doesn't like other genders playing roles, so I doubt Izzy Gray is going to get Dimitri. They've talked about auditioning for him since we first heard we were doing this musical. Actually, I think she likes the Ballet Girls because they have a lot of prejudice against others, like she does. Mrs. Duke always casts the worst people for parts, last year she cast the lead to somebody who couldn't even sing, in a musical. Only because she was pretty- She probably plays favorites too, and only casts if she likes the person or if they look like the actor in the version that's her favorite, which are never the ones with people who aren't all lookalikes of the Ballet Girls.) Why? Because Mrs. Duke has this fantasy world she lives in.
