Giving It A Shot

A few month roll by since the start of cub activities. The school is having a play this year. I remember having one when I first got in to CP. The rule is that the older you are, the more likely you are to get cast. Now that I'm in the 10th grade, I think I might have a shot being the 2nd eldest batch in the school. It's kinda a version of the Wizard of Oz but the school had to put a weird religious spin to it because the school has to put religion into everything.

I knew that if I wanted that core position, I need to prove to them that I can act. It's a musical and that's my specialty. So obviously, I went and auditioned for Dorothy. They made us sing "Home" from The Wiz. When I walked in the audition, I quickly had a feeling it was going to go wrong. By the look on the teachers' faces, they didn't want me there. Ever since I've entered CP, I've been known to be very blunt with my opinion. I want to tell people how it is because it's a waste of time trying to sugar-coat it. This has put me in some trouble with the guidance counselor. He's not really a fan that I usually find holes in school plans and try to point them out. He was in the audition classroom with another teacher, who I was happy has been known to be impartial. He sat there side-eyeing me like he usually does. I sang my song and I thought I did well. I said thank you and walked out.

A week from the auditions, a call back form was posted on the production club's board. I didn't get to see it as I had to do something, but I did visit it during snack time. Surprise, surprise... My name wasn't there. All that was there were the names of 3 senior girls and 1 girl a batch lower from me. She's been known to be a teacher's rat rather than a teacher's pet. She's been kissing up to teachers for years and always thinks too highly of herself just because her family has a legacy in CP. All her siblings have gone to CP and left a pretty good impression, so now she's getting perks for that. I knew the senior girls got it because they were priority.
