Chapter 12 I Will Pass

  ANNA'S POV

  "I'm not!" Maria said, laughing. "I promise, this is all real. They're really interested in you for the part. Isn't that amazing?"

  I was still trying to process what she had said. It seemed too good to be true. But then again, why would Maria make something like this up?

  "Are you going to audition for the part?" she asked, sounding eager.

  I hesitated for a moment, thinking about everything that would be involved in auditioning for the part. It would be a big commitment, and I wasn't sure if I was ready for that. But then again, this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

  "I don't know," I said. "I'm still thinking about it. It's a lot to take in."

  "I understand," Maria said. "But please, think about it carefully. This could be a really amazing opportunity for you."

  "I know," I said.
