Finally, it was over. I have finished my 7th grade math homework. I have spent hours trying to finish those stupid problems. But now I’m finished and I can just sit in front of the TV and do nothing. Then I see my script for my play for this year and I let out a sigh of disappointment. I didn’t get the part I wanted this year, in fact, it doesn’t seem like anyone did, except for Alice.
