Lost in a Fairytale

Chapter 1

I turned looking in the mirror and laughed. "Mirror, mirror on my stand, who

is fairest in the land?"

"One day your snow white then Cinderella now the evil queen? What next? The seven dwarfs? Or oh! I got it! Dumbellina." A voice said behind me.

I turned around. "Shut up Mandy. In order to get into a role you have to look

at the different perspectives of the other characters. Not that you would know anything about the theatre, you just play in the mud with your rugby friends."

"Urg, your such a priss, you know that Ebony?"

"I am not! I am just a very dedicated actress."

Mandy snorted then left the room.

I turned back to the mirror. “ Now I know, she is not the fairest of them all.” I laughed and my phone rang.

I picked up. “Hello?”

“Ebony, hey! It’s Jason.”

“Oh, hi Jason.” I blushed.

“So uh, I was wondering if you wanted to go see a movie later.” He said.

“Oh shoot, I’m sorry, I can’t, I have rehearsal today.”

“That’s alright. Maybe I can come to your rehearsal then we could go.”

“That sounds good to me.” I said and hung up. I opened my bird’s cage and picked up my red and yellow bird. “Oh queen Canary, did you hear that? I have a date with Lord Jason of Reynolds’s manor.” I said dramatically.

I got dressed and pulled my hair back. I put Queen Canary back in her cage and went downstairs.

“Good morning Ebony, would you like some breakfast?” My step mom Stephanie asked.

“No thank you, I have to get to rehearsal, for I cannot be late.” I put a hand on my head and went to my car.

I drove to the theatre in silence, watching the cars pass by wondering how other people see the world.

I walked into the lobby and was greeted by Sarah and Mitchy.

“Are you ready? The first dress rehearsal, it’s so exciting.” Sarah said linking her arm through mine.

“Ya, it’s amazing, let’s go to our dressing room so I can tell you all about Lord Jason and what happened today.”

“Oh lala, where are the mice to make the wedding dress?” Mitchy asked.

The thing about me and my friends, we are major theatre and tech theatre people. Every play our town puts on we tech it and preform if we get a part. I am obsessed with fairytales, I always think that happy endings exist; it is always good to have an open mind about things.

We went to our dressing room and shut the door.

“So what happened?” Sarah asked excitedly.

“Well, Jason called today, he asked if I wanted to see a movie later, but I told him I had rehearsal.” I replied doing my stage make-up.

“Well, then what?” Mitchy demanded.

“He said he will come to rehearsal then we will go.” I said simply.

“Ahh! That is so cute!” Sarah squealed.

There was a knock on the door. “Two minutes ladies.” Josh called.

We quickly got dressed and went to our positions. The curtain rose and step mother and the two step sisters entered.

“Cinderella!” Yelled step mother.
