No Way!

"No way. Are you being serious Nicola?" I thought to myself.
As we were presenting our monologues to the other performance people in our group,  you wouldn't know how nervous I was. I kept on biting my lip and thinking to myself "I CAN do this." (even though I knew I would probably do something wrong).

The first thing I was hoping for was not to go first. If I went first I would be more nervous then I already was, because I wanted to see how others go and then see if I can be better than them. As soon as Queen Nicola told us that we would be going in alphabetic order my heart nearly stopped. I knew I was C and I would be either first or second. Luckily Cassie went first but if she stopped or anything I would be next.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Cassie stops and starts to cry, now I have to go up on the stage and be the beautiful, exquisite  Alice in Wonderland.

As I walk up onto the stage, I'm feeling elated as ever! Not, I am as nervous as ever! I am trembling all over and have no confidence in myself, but since I practised like no tomorrow I am certain I can do this monologue perfectly. 

So here it goes:

I stomp my feet and put my hands on my hips feeling very annoyed with the White Rabbit for not listening to me. 
"How impolite of him" I say.
(The last line) 
"Oh I think I see the bottom. Yes I'm sure I see the bottom. I shall hit the bottom, hit it very hard, and oh how it will hurt!"


"Wow are they actually clapping for me?" I thought. 

I was shocked. I couldn't believe that Nicola said I did a very good job practising my monologue and that I said it beautifully. After my monologue I felt like I was flying with angels.
It's finally over and done with and I don't have to worry about saying a monologue ever again. (I hope!)

'Til next time,
Bye!
