Simone let the door slam(砰地关上) behind her as she walked into the house. Her backpack came off her shoulders and onto the floor.
“What's wrong, little sis?” Thomas asked.
“Everything,” Simone said. “I can't do anything right.”
Thomas turned to Simone, “Now I know that's not true. You just got second place at the school history fair, and Mum and Dad didn't even help you with your project. I'd say that was doing something right.”
“Yeah, second place. That's me. Second best to Sheri in everything,” Simone crossed her arms.
“What happened?” Thomas asked.
Simone took a deep breath and said, “I tried out for the school play, and Sheri got the lead.”
Thomas nodded, “She has been taking acting lessons for the past two summers.”
Simone put her arms down, “I know, and I'm happy for her, but I practised every night for that part. I wanted it so much.”
“What part did you get?” Thomas asked.
“The second best part, of course. When is it going to be my turn to be the best at something?”
Thomas touched Simone's hair, “You're the best little sister I have.”
“I'm your only sister,” Simone said.
The doorbell rang, and Thomas got up to answer it.
“Hi, Sheri. Congratulations on getting the lead in the play.”
“Thanks,” Sheri said, but she didn't look happy. She walked into the living room and sat down next to Simone, “I have to tell you something. I saw your audition(试镜). You're a natural actress, Simone. I was worried you were going to get the lead, and now I feel bad for hoping you wouldn't get the part. I wish I were as good a friend as you are.”
“Looks like you're the best at something after all,” Thomas said to Simone.
Simone smiled, “I'm glad we got the two main parts, Sheri. That means we get to practise our lines(台词) together. It's going to be so much fun.”
