Fame

Chapter one "the play"

So this is the beginning where Mara is first discovered by the director. See how she changes throughout the story.

   The lights dim, the audience quiets and I know it's my turn up on stage. For a moment my knees seem locked but then Timothy Anosthon nuges me from behind. "Go on" He says. " Its your turn. Besides, you know there is a director out in the audience." My second grader mind was young to comprehend this, but it managed. If I did well enough, my whole life could change.

Forcing a smile I said "yeah, yeah, I know. I'm going." As soon as I turned the smile was gone though and I walked out onto the stage. Immediately the bright spotlot found my face and my cheeks seemed to burn. Stepping intricately across the stage, I bumped into the person dresses in the sparkly green dance outfit. Her name is Ashley Winters.

I pretend to be embarrassed, ducking my head. "Excuse me please." I try to slip by her but she blocks me me.

By the end of the play, we are friends and the audience is cheering.

A formal looking woman is cheering as well but is staring intently at me. I gulp. Quietly I step around the other kids and hurry off stage.

Guess she was a good actor huh? Maybe she's going to get chosen.
