"Hurry!" Charlotte whispers to herself in school as she waits for the bell to ring, announcing the end of class and the posting of the cast list for the ballet.
The clock seems to be going extra slow, just to annoy her. "Ugh!" She whispers as her math teacher continues to teach about the Pythagorean Theorem.
"So if you were given the values of a and c," the teacher says "how would you find the value of b?" But before anyone can put up their hand, the bell goes off and Charlotte runs out of class not waiting for anyone.

The cast list was being posted as she arrived outside the cafeteria. Scanning it, and not wanting to think the best, she goes forward. "Oh my gosh!" She says, believing that what she read can't be real. "I got the lead!" She runs home to tell her mom.

Upon arriving home she runs into the kitchen and drops her bag with a thud.
"Mom!" She screams "Guess what!"
"Hello to you too." Her mom smiles "What happened?"
"I got the lead! In Pieces of Time! The school ballet!"
"Oh honey!" Her mother says "That's fabulous! I'm so proud!" And she pulls Charlotte close to her and gives her a huge hug.
