Acting Pain

I feel so terrible inside. It’s because of some thing stupid.
A stupid play. A goldilocks play. Of, course I wanted the part of goldilocks. I love acting and I am the big actress in my class. I have golden locks and I am a goody 2 shoes. But I didn’t get the part. One of my best friends did.
I should be happy, except that I got the worst part. My teacher told me she wanted someone smart to play the attorney. So I get stuck with it. I know I should be happy for my friend, shes the lead role, shes got tons of lines that she has to act out with an attitude, and she gets an awsome costume. I get a laywer’s suit.
I know I’m being greedy and I should stop, but I can’t help it. Everytime someone says the word “Goldilocks” I get tears in my eyes. Everytime we had rehersal I used to get so excited. Now whenever we have rehersal groan.
