STRAIGHT-A TEACHER

Chapter 16

The next four weeks were a total nightmare. Everywhere I turned, Mr. Barnett was there. At practice every day. In my dreams at night. And, as before, in my daydreams. But I didn’t dare make an attempt to tell him how I felt. Not after two plans had so totally failed. I’d be testing fate to try again.

To make matters worse, the practice schedule escalated to every day after school and three evenings a week! Lines had been memorized, but now came the emphasis on facial expressions and body movements. Mr. Barnett got right in there and worked us through all the important inflections.

Character dynamics were essential, too. Stephie, my stepsister, was a superb little Marta—my youngest charge as the governess, Maria. Our interaction onstage reflected the close relationship we had at home. Same with Stan. Andie, Paula, and I were close friends, so working together onstage was a cinch for us, too.

With the constant practicing, even Jared and I were actually developing a good working relationship. And offstage, he hardly ever flirted with me. Well, not much, at least.

As for Mr. Barnett, I couldn’t summon the courage to tell him the truth about the pistachio nuts, but it was obvious by the trail of shells on his desk that he was enjoying them.
