Roni fyller 15 av Janet Quin-Harkin

"- Vårpjäsen, sa Chris och tittade ivrigt på mig. Det är uttagningsprov efter skolan i morgon.
- Stod det något om vilken pjäs de har tänkt sig?
-"Oklahoma!".
-"Oklahoma!". Men det är ju en musikal. Man måste kunna sjunga och dansa för att spela i en musikal. Jag har aldrig sjungit eller dansat offentligt.
- Inte jag heller, sa Chris, men någon gång måste ju vara den första.

Jag höll verkligen på att tappa greppet om tillvaron. Hur skulle jag hinna med skolarbetet och repetitionerna till musikalen och min födelsedag? Det var ju omöjligt!
Min blyge killkompis, Chris, sjöng serenader för mig i skolkorridoren. Jag skulle stå på samma scen som min gullige, före detta pojkvän, Drew, varje dag den kommande månaden. Och mitt i detta virrvarr måste jag hjälpa mamma med en miljon saker, innan alla släktingar kom drällande från Mexiko för att fira mig.
Jag som inte ens vill bli firad - i alla fall inte på det sättet."… (mer)
