Lost For Words

I think the biggest mistake of my life was when I agreed to be in the school play last year! The show was called
Anthony and Cleopatra and the drama teacher chose me to play Anthony! I have no idea why!
On the first night everyone in my family had come to watch me, and they were all sitting in the front of the hall.
My grandparents were there with my parents, my sister, and brother. Why had they all come? The show started
with a long dialogue between me and a girl, Freya, who was playing Cleopatra. I saw my family watching me and
my face went red.

Soon, I forgot about them and was only thinking about the show. I thought it was going well, when suddenly
Cleopatra stopped and stared at me. I said a few more words and waited but Cleopatra didn’t say anything.
I looked around and saw my sister. She was holding her head in her hands. “What’s happened?” I thought.
“What have I done?” I started to speak again and Cleopatra rolled her eyes. I shrugged and continued but
Cleopatra whispered, “No!”

I looked at our drama teacher and she was slowly shaking her head. It was then I realized that I’d said Cleopatra’s
words by mistake! But what were my words? I had completely forgotten them! Everyone was sitting
in silence and waiting. They waited and they waited. Cleopatra crossed her arms. I bit my lip and started to fidget
with my hands. That’s always a bad sign. I think my brother recognized this sign. He knows me better than
anyone else in the world. I heard a tapping sound coming from the hall and then I saw my brother’s face. His
mouth was moving silently. He was trying to tell me something … the words! Of course! He knew because he’d
practiced with me!

With his help, I remembered what to say and the play continued. No one else forgot what to do or say. When it
was all over, I went to give Freya a high five. She didn’t move. She just ignored me and quickly left with her
friends, who were all laughing. I felt my face go red again. Then I saw the drama teacher. I didn’t want to see
her. I just wanted to run away and hide.

“I think that went really well!” she said warmly. “There are always a few small problems on the opening night!”
I didn’t know what to say – again. I just raised my eyebrows and tried – but failed – to smile.
