Take Me To Oz

Chapter 3: A Chance

Cheers erupt from everyone in the room. Before I know it, I'm joining in as well. "CALM DOWN EVERYONE!"
The director, Mrs. J, hollers over the crowd. She continues, "Hi everyone! It's nice to be back for another promising year with you guys. If you don't already know, I'm Mrs. J, and I am your Drama Club director. I know a lot of you are anxious to know what play we're doing this year, so, drumroll please.." Everyone beats their hands on the tables, then she continues."It was a hard decision, but we have decided on The Wizard Of Oz!" Everyone cheers.
I feel like I'm going to cry. This is an incredible opportunity, but I know I can't compete with everyone else. Especially Brandilyn. " I wanna be Dorothy!" several girls holler out, then bicker about who'd be better for the role.
Brandilyn approaches them and tells them "I don't think you're good enough for that. Let's be real." One of the girls sobs quietly, but Mrs. J. doesn't even notice.
"First, I would like to introduce you to a very experienced young actress. She has done over 15 productions in the last two years, some including work with a former Broadway star..... Brandilyn Mae!" Mrs. J. announces and she comes onto the stage.
" I just LOVE Mrs. J. so much. She's like a mother to me, and she's really funny. You guys are going to love her, but never as much as I do, so watch your every move." she tries to look cute, then grabs the forms and passes them out.
She stops at me. "You may wanna stick with tech. You can't possibly be any good." She winks, then practically throws my packets at me.
Once she leaves, a girl named Ashley looks over at me. "I wouldn't worry about her too much, I think if anything, you have a better chance than her. Mrs. J. knows that she's mean, and frankly, she's had enough of Brandy."

Perhaps I do have a chance after all.

a/n: hi guys. I just wanna thank anyone who picked this up and read it. It means a lot that you read my story. there's some things I need to cover before we get further into the story, so you have some background knowledge.
1. ruby is religious, and therefore doesn't swear.
2. brandy is sort of like the one rich girl who makes herself out to be amazing at spmething, but really isn't. you'll see a lot more about her later on
