Max pulled a piece of pizza out of the box and stared at the gooey cheese that hung off it. “When we asked for extra cheese, I didn’t realize it would be this delicious.”

“I told you.” I took a bite out of my own slice and groaned. “This is exactly what we needed after practice today. I’m not sure the play is ever going to come together.”

“It’s not that bad. At least the singing is on. Mostly.” Heather laughed. “I’m thinking Mrs. Carrington is going to have an aneurism by the time this play is over.”

While it would have been nice to say we were exaggerating, the sad thing was, it was bad. Characters weren’t meshing, our villain was missing half the time, and no one could hit their cues.

There were a few highlights, though. Heather seemed to love her part, and Max was amazing as the prince. I wasn’t sure how I was doing, but my love for the dramatic helped with the acting. Too bad it didn’t help me memorize my lines.

“I thought your dance with Cinderella went pretty well today, though.” I grabbed a breadstick.

“Only because Anna won’t let me do anything else except dance. My toes are bruised because of how many times she’s stepped on them.” Max pointed an accusing finger at Heather. “Stop laughing.”

Heather’s giggle morphed into snorting laughter as she flopped back on my bed. “I’m sorry . . . The imagery . . . you jumping on one foot . . . ooph.”

That last part was from getting hit by a pillow. Mom had been brave to let me take pizza up to my room, and this was why.

“Guys, take your pillow throwing elsewhere. Mom will kill me if she has to degrease my duvet again.” I emphasized my anger by throwing a pillow and hitting Max square in the head, then scooped up the pizza box and moved it over to my makeup table.

Stomping came up the stairs, and Mom threw open my door holding a remote control in her hand. “What in the world is going on in here? Haven’t I—oh, you moved it. I was worried I needed to go to the store to buy more stain spray.”

I held up my hands in surrender. “I warned them, Mom.”

“As if you weren’t part of it.” She took a slice of pizza from the box. “It’s about time for you guys to head home. Alayna, your dad is going to call in ten minutes.”

“Got it.” I waited for her to leave and turned to Max and Heather. “I told you to keep it down.”

Max rubbed his head. “Man, you have a mean throw. Maybe you should be playing baseball instead of doing this play.”

I shrugged. “Heather didn’t try out for the team, so I’m stuck. Now, should we go over our part in the play or should I kick you out so I can talk to my dad?”

“We should go.” Heather glanced over at Max. “What’s going on with your dad anyway? You’ve kept quiet about it.
