I stared at myself in the mirror:blue tights, yellow vest, a fish tail trailing behind me, and large eyes siting at op my head. I raised my eyebrows and sighed.
"Mom, I don't think this costume is right, "I said. "Maybe the makeup will add something, "Mom replied hopefully.
Somehow Mom had convinced me to play the Fish Footman in Alice in Wonderland. I can't say it's been the time of my life
"What if I forget my lines?"I hesitated.
"Oh Riley, is that what you're afraid of?I know you've been rehearsing for two months, you were the first off-book in your scene, and I couldn't be prouder of you. "Mom said, kneeling down and hugging me.
The next day we pulled into the parking lot, and I stepped out of the car, wearing the questionable costume. I shrank inside myself, but Mom pulled me toward the makeup room. When the makeup was done, I looked at myself in the mirror. My jaw dropped.
"Mom!I can't go onstage like this!"I cried.
"Why not?"
"I'd be a laughing stock(笑柄)!"
"Riley, look around you!You're not the only one in an odd costume. "
"What if we just sneak out?No one will miss me. "I whispered.
Mom's lips disappeared into a thin line, and I knew I had gone too far. "Riley, I'm going to watch you go out on that stage tonight. And that's the end of it. "Then mom disappeared into the audience. I sat there, alone and bored, as the play began and the curtain rose on.
The two boys dressed as Two of Clubs(梅花2)near me chatted casually about this and that. Suddenly, they asked, "You're awfully quiet. Is this your first show?"I tried to respond, but my voice caught in my throat and refused to escape. I coughed and nearly yelled, "YES!" The Ace of Diamonds(方块 A)sitting nearby laughed. "The audience will certainly hear you if you talk that loud. But you might have to clear your throat first, "she chuckled. I gave them a weak smile.
"Don't worry about us, "the Ace said. "We're only teasing. "
"Yeah, "the Two said. "When you've done as many shows as we have, projecting will be second nature to you. "
