Auditioning for her school’s annual play, Sasha felt thrilled by the pin-drop silence which followed her performance.For weeks, she'd been secretly rehearsing despite her mom’s advice to ‘be realistic’.
Her drama teacher sat in the front row, her lips frozen in a small O. Then, nodding vigorously, she spoke into the microphone, “That certainly was a surprise, Sasha. Well done, dear.” And forgetting that the mic was still on, she turned to the other teachers and whispered, “But it wouldn’t do to have a plus-sized Cinderella, would it?”
Ssssshh warned the others but the damage was already done.
