Break a Leg by J. Blue Spicer Mimi was nervous. She had always been given the starring role in plays and skits in class, but now she was the star of the yearly high school musical as a freshman. Though she knew most of the stage crew, considering they were friends from middle school, the rest of the cast consisted of upperclassmen. Ever since she won the biggest part in tryouts, she noticed they were giving her the cold shoulder. The night of the first show came, and Mimi was fantastic. The crowd got lost in the fact that they were watching a high school musical, until something went wrong during a set change. Mitchell, a junior who was head of the stage crew, had tripped over a prop left near the stage and tumbled into the orchestra pit. The crowd gasped, and the high schoolers froze just as the scene had ended, but Mimi was quick on her feet. She improvised a line, got the crowd and the cast to laugh, and she even jumped into the pit to help Mitchell as best as she could. After the show, Mimi's only concern was Mitchell. She found him sitting among the juniors and seniors backstage. "How is your leg?" "It's been better, but I don't think I'll miss a show," Mitchell said blankly. As Mimi told him goodbye and wished him well, she felt some pats on her shoulder and heard a few claps. She smiled and knew the show was going to be better tomorrow. 2 Select ALL the correct answers.
