It was about 7:59 when Gregory burst into Mrs.Higgins classroom and waited for the speech of glory. Today was quiet an exciting day as Mrs.Higgins had arranged a play and the dramatist for it was Esme Vander. The play was called 'Last Tuesday Night' going to be presented on the coming Wednesday. Everyone had been auditioning for the parts and Gregory was very much hoping to be chosen for Josh, the boy who last ever saw his parents. He had already seen the scenery being painted on the canvas and ready to be hung up in the auditorium.

"And now children, we have decided," Mrs.Higgins cool voice made her class sit up straight. "For Josh we will have Jake, and Brian  will do well for his understudy."

Gregory felt very much sad indeed. How could he not have been chosen? He tried so well for the parts, he was so sure to be chosen for Josh. He began to think deeply in self pity. He was so lost in himself that he didn't even realise that his classmates were all busy trying to enact different characters in the play. But the sound of music playing in harmony made him jump. While Mrs.Higgins was planning choreography with powerful athletic moves combined with some gymnastics for short dance, the main dancers in the class began to characterise an opening dance with soft agile movements.

"Gregory?" Mrs.Higgins barked. "I don't see you doing any proper moves here."

Gregory's mouth jutted down to portray a collection of bright white teeth and his friends looked towards him in empathy. Gregory simply dropped his head downwards like an unhappy dog, making him look like he was trying to emote the rabbit in 'Last Tuesday Night'.
