Chapter 4: A Nice Surprise
 |
| The brochure |
When we entered the theatre, we gaped in astonishment. There
was artwork everywhere! Sketches hung from the walls and stuck on bristle
boards. I was inspecting a sculpture of 3-D shapes when I suddenly remembered
my friend, Erin, was performing that day. I told my sister and my father but
they just laughed it off saying there was no way that my friend would be in the
performance. We arrived very early so for about 10 to 15 minutes, we were
sitting on a sofa waiting impatiently for the ballet to start. We started to
hum and get on each other’s nerves when my father came back with some brochures
of the ballet. My sister and I each took one brochure for my father brought
two. I skimmed through the pages reading the plot to get a better understanding
of the story. Suddenly, my sister poked my arm.
“Hey look! Isn’t that Erin’s name?” my sister asked.
I looked down at my sister’s brochure and found the name she
was pointing at. To my surprise, Erin’s name was on the brochure under the
subtitles German Doll and Chinese Doll.
“Ha! I told you Erin would be coming!” I shouted at my
father and my sister triumphantly.
Maybe ballet isn’t so
bad I thought.
Chapter 5:The Theatre

Soon the performance was about to begin. We quickly took our
tickets and went in the theatre. The theatre was breathtaking. The stage was
the size of our gym, which I used to think, was the largest room on Earth. The
place for the audience was double the size of the gym. The theatre could
probably seat 300 people! The curtain was shaded black and dark red. The walls
were shade the same shade of red and the seats were covered in dark red velvety
material. There were a lot of doors for people to enter if they sat on
different seats. We kept on looking until the people behind us hissed for us to
get moving.
Chapter 6:The Lonely Seat
We checked our tickets to know exactly where we would be
sitting. To our surprise, one of the tickets was separated from the others. The
one separated was the best ticket. It had a clear view of the stage and the
person sitting there didn’t need to crane their necks to see what was
happening. I longed for that seat but none of my family members would be
sitting there. When I sat there, I started to think back on my decision. People
kept coming in the theatre and the seats around me were getting filled.
Luckily, there was still an empty seat beside me. Every time someone came close
to my row, I would get worried thinking that that person will sit at the empty
seat. After a few minutes, no one sat there so my sister came. Still, I was
worried that the person who bought the seat my sister was sitting at would
suddenly come. Soon, the ballet performance started and I started to relax.
