CHAPTER TEN
Prove Them WrongFastforward to November, a matter of two weeks before their Christmas vacation and three months before the annual play. Aspiring cast members of the annual play had been preparing their audition pieces.
“I wonder what the theme for this year will be?” Ah Ra asked her friends.
