THE STAR

The class arrived in a new lobby. Zuze could hear Rufus Roth. He was singing a good song.

“Let’s go in,” she said. “Let’s go in right now.”

“Okay,” said Ms. Cleff. “But you must not run. I know you like Rufus Roth. But follow the rules.”

Zuze led the class into the hall. She went right up to the stage. She looked at Rufus Roth. He had on white pants. He had on a dark blue shirt. He had long brown hair. He was cute.

Zuze watched Rufus Roth sing. He sang a good song. The song had happy words. The people clapped and cheered. Zuze clapped. But she did not cheer. She wanted to hear “Susie Girl.”

Rufus Roth sang another song. It was a good song. The song had jumpy music. The people clapped and cheered. Zuze clapped. But Zuze did not cheer.

“Well, what did you think?” asked Emm.

“He is a star,” said Zuze. “He is the best of all time.”

“But you look sad,” said Emm. “Why are you sad?”

“I am a little sad,” said Zuze. “He did not sing the best song. He did not sing ‘Susie Girl.’ ”

Rufus Roth left the stage. It was time for a break. The people in the seats got up. They needed a break too.

“We will wait,” said Ms. Cleff. “We will wait for the break to end. There are too many people going to the lobby.”

The class stayed by the stage. Zuze looked for Rufus Roth. But he was gone. Zuze wanted to see him one more time. Maybe she could find him. Maybe she could hear him sing “Susie Girl.” She would slip away. She would be fast. She would come right back.

Ms. Cleff watched the people. The kids watched the people. Even Emm watched the people. But Zuze did not watch. Zuze walked away. She walked slowly. She went up onto the stage.

“Where did Rufus Roth go?” Zuze said. She went behind the curtains. She saw a black door. She went through the door. She saw a hall. She walked down the hall. Then she saw a white door. The door had words on it. The words said Rufus Roth. The door was open a little.

Zuze looked back down the hall. She saw no one. So she slipped into the room.

“This is Rufus Roth’s dressing room,” said Zuze. She looked at one wall. There were pictures on it. There were lots of pictures. Some of the pictures were of Rufus. Zuze looked at all the pictures. Then she heard a noise. Someone was coming. Who was it? Was it Rufus? The door began to open. Zuze got excited.

Then she saw Rufus! He was coming into the room. Zuze was so happy. She couldn’t wait to tell Emm. But then something happened. Something really bad happened. Rufus looked at Zuze. He looked right at Zuze. And he looked mad.

“Who are you?” asked Rufus. “And how did you get in here?”
