Alice In Wonderland is my favorite story.And acting is my number one passion.
   At my old school，Poulsbo Elementary，I'd starred in every play from third grade on.Before that，gymnastics was my thing.But then I played my first role as Tinkerbell in Peter Pan.And after that，back flips just couldn't compare.
   So when my sixth-grade teacher，Mrs Pearson announced during my first week at Newland Elementary that we'd be performing Alice in Wonderland for the school play，I practically screamed out loud with excitement.I'd always wanted to play the role of Alice!In the story，Alice went down a rabbit hole where weird（怪異的） things happened.Somehow I could relate to her more than ever now that I was going to a new school.
   When Mrs Pearson announced that I would act as one of the hedgehogs（刺猬）in the play，my stomach started to ache!The hedgehogs had no lines but just got hit with mallets（木槌）and then disappeared!But I clapped along with everyone else and pasted a fake smile on my face.Maybe I should just go back to gymnastics and forget all about acting.
   Tyler and Ella were the other two hedgehogs.When we were outside the classroom，Ella had one hand against the wall and appeared to be doing ballet warmups. "I really wanted to be the Queen of Hearts，" said Ella.She raised her left leg so that it was almost parallel to her body.
   "Yeah，I wanted to be the Cheshire Cat，" said Tyler.He twirled（旋轉(zhuǎn)）around with his hands clasped together above his head.Both of them seemed like good dancers.
   Suddenly I had an idea.
   My heart was pounding crazily.But at least I didn't have a stomachache anymore.
   The first rehearsal finally came.Then came our cue.
   "One...two...three，" with the hedgehog costumes，we ran onstage in a line，steps synchronized （同步） and arms waving together.We stopped in front of the Queen of Hearts and curtsied （屈膝）.She was so surprised that she almost forgot her next line.
   The Queen took her mallet and aimed at Hedgehog #1—Ella.When the mallet touched her，Ella spun and jumped across the stage using moves from Ballet. "Wow，" said everyone.
   The mallet came down on Hedgehog #2，Tyler.Tyler glided across the stage doing a Sideways Moonwalk. "Aah，" said the cast，even louder than before.
   The Queen looked excited as she prepared to hit Hedgehog #3—me.When the mallet tapped me，I did three back flips.Everyone erupted into applause.
   The three of us looked at each other.We knew we managed to surprise everyone by making small parts cool.
   I still miss my friends in Poulsbo.But Seattle feels a lot less like the rabbit hole now，and a lot more like home.
