In chorus, Mr. Roche handed out updated rehearsal schedules.

"After school every day until six," he said. "And every weekend. Ten to three, Saturdays and Sundays."

"That's like two extra days of school!" Nina French wailed. "I have to go to church!"

"There will be exceptions for religious services," Mr. Roche said. "But not for anything else. This is serious, people. Commitment!"

"How are we even supposed to do homework?" Robert Whitchurch whispered to Sarah.

"Or do anything?" Sarah whispered back.

That was when she remembered Marjorie's movie.

"We have two and a half weeks. Two and a half weeks!" Mr. Roche said. "We have to use all the time we have left to prepare."

Sarah raised her hand. "But Mr. Roche—"

"No buts!" he boomed. "I told you all that this was how it had to be if you want to win the competition. Chorus comes first."

"But—"

He glared at her.

"No exceptions," he said.

Sarah lowered her hand. She knew it was pointless to argue. She sagged in her seat, washed over by foreboding, knowing what she was going to have to do.

"I can't believe I have to miss basketball tryouts," Robert said.

"That's too bad," she said, trying not to notice Lizzie making faces at her, which was just Lizzie's way of saying how cool it was that Robert was talking to her.

"What do you have to miss?" he asked.

"Nothing as big as that," she said.
