A Good Friend, A Second Self
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play. Mrs. Dermitt, my drama teacher, had been looking for someone to play an energetic boy in a comedy. Luckily for me, she thought that I could handle the 36 .
That afternoon my friend Kevin and I talked 37 about the play. Although Kevin hadn’t been 38 for a part on stage, his job with the set crew was important to the success of the play. I told him I was a little 39 because I had a lot of lines to memorize.
“You can do it.” He said. I knew I could 40 him: we had been friends since the third grade, and we 41 a good team.
Preparations for the play moved at a rapid pace. While working hard with the set crew, Kevin 42 spent hours helping me learn my lines. He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips. We 43 that he could probably play my part as well as I could.
Three days before the 44 night, everything was ready for the performance. But when I woke up 45 a fever and sore throat on the day of the play, the entire production came to a sudden 46 . Everyone in the drama department was worried, 47 there was no way I could perform. The play was 48 to open in fewer than six hours, and we had no time to cancel. I tried to think of a way to 49 . Then it hit me – Kevin knew the 50 as well as I did. I called Mrs. Dermitt to give her my 51 . Within a few short hours, Kevin stood onstage in costume and makeup. The amusing lines he had 52 with me so many times made the crowd laugh and cheer. In a strange turn of events, Kevin and I had 53 the day for everyone by working as a team.
Of course, I was terribly disappointed to have 54 my chance in the spotlight, but I was extremely 55 to have such a good friend.
