Tonight Mom came up to ry room, awl she had a •flyer in her hand. As soon as X saw it, X knew EXACTLY what i+ was.

Xt was an announcement that the school is having tryouts for a winter play. Man, X should have thrown that thing out when X saw it on the kitchen table.

X BEGGED her not to make me sign up. Those school plays are always musicals, and the last thing X need is to have to sing a solo in front of the whole school.

But all my begging seemed to do was make Mom more sure X should do it.
