Chapter 1- Am I a Bad Person?

"AHH HELP ME! All mighty prince!" a damsel in distress screams at the top of her lungs "Here is thou prince to save the day!" The prince says. The prince slashes his sword right through the dragon's throat.

Very mediocre story, I shall say. That's how our story starts. Meet Jelha, the theatre kid who hopes to become a known name in the theatre industry.

You might be wondering, which of those characters in the 'Prince Saving The Princess' story might she be? The Princess? The Queen? Oh no. The dragon. Along with two others, Matt and Corine.

They are known as the 'Extra Trio' they never get the leading role; Not even the side characters ,and supporting lead roles.

A long way to go if you want to be a known actress. Jelha dreamed of that since she was 10, she just happened to watch a live theatre performance with her parents. She was captivated by there actors and actresses. She swore to her heart she will one day become famous, talented, well known, THE LEAD.

Her lack of acting skills might have gotten in the way. She was only accepted in the club because she was friends with the Vice President, Sadie.

Jelha's a smart kid. Always an honor student, but never the best. Like the theatre performances of the club, she is a mediocre student. She is not good at acting, but not bad enough to get kicked out the club.

—Jelha's POV-
What a theatre kid I am, I've been in this club for half a year now yet— ugh! I don't know. I somehow don't get any better at this.

I was on my way to leave school, then this Freshman walks up to me, I know it's a freshman because her I.D lace is blue. "Help me! Jelha right? Please~" what's your problem girl, I don't even know you, why do you know me? "Sorry, who are you?" I reply out of utter confusion. "I'm Valerie, Matt's sister. Matt told me you were an honor student, and I thought you'd be a great tutor" oh, Matt's sister eh? Then why not Matt teach you? I was thinking.

"Nice to meet you, sorry but- I myself have to study for the exams. I don't have much free-time either, I'm a theater kid" I say to her in a calm voice hoping she'd leave me alone.

"Please~ my brother failed a few tests and he's going to be sent to another school by mom and dad! I don't want to fail this exam!" Jesus do you hate having to transfer so much, even leaving your brother there? I was more shocked about the fact that Matt didn't tell Corine and I this. I had to hear it from his sister; even worse if you asked me.

"Hey kid, I'm truly am sorry,but I can't help you" I said in a slightly irritated manner, she then looks down "sorry too, I might've disturbed you" She replies. I see tears crawling down her face.

Jesus- I made a kid cry. Am I a bad person?
