It was right after school and I had play practice. My mom forced me to audition for the role of Lumiere in Beauty and The Beast. Practice went from 2:30-6:30. But today when I came to practice the teacher had to cancel and told us to call our parents to pick us up. My mom doesn’t get technology so she doesn’t use a cell phone and she was at work until 6:00 so I had no way of reaching her until then. So I had to stay there on the school stage for 4 hours with 2 people waiting for their parents. My friend Evan and a girl in my class named Mikayla.

After about 30 minutes Evan’s parents picked him up. Leaving just me and Mikayla which was awkward since we weren’t close.

“My mom is at work so she can’t get me.” She said to me

“Same here,” I replied back. “This is pretty boring.”

“Yeah it is. Hey you wanna go play with some of these props back stage? It’ll pass the time.”

“Yeah sounds fun.” We put down our stuff and played with some of the props. There was a bow and arrow prop there so I used it to see which row in the bleachers I could get to. Mikayla put on this costume that was in the dress room. It was a princess dress.

“I look good don’t I?”

The dress wasn’t her size it went up to her knees. I have no idea how she breathed in that dress. “Yeah you do.”

“Thanks.” Her smile was so cute. she went back in the girls dressing room to change back into her clothes. I started walking around looking for something to do but then I slipped on a roller skate that Mikayla used about 10 minutes ago and fell into the girls dressing room.
