Alexa and Selena (Alexa's big break) .

Alexa is sitting at home in her living room. She is waiting anxiously for an important phone call, telling her whether she has got the part to be the lead in a new television drama.

The phone rings. Alexa jumps, and then picks up the phone, shaking.

"Hello?" Alexa says in a shaky voice.
"Hi Alexa. It's Selena. Have they phoned yet?" says Selena, calling from her office at home.
"No. I'm still waiting for them to call." says Alexa, who's sounding more calm.
"Oh. Sorry, I should go then. They might be phoning you now and it'll be engaged." says Selena.
"Ok. Bye Selena!" says Alexa.
"Bye!" Selena says, hanging up.

Alexa hangs up too.

15 minutes later the phone rings again. Alexa picks it up.

"Hello?" says Alexa, with her legs crossed on the sofa.
"Hello there. Is that Alexa Browly?" says an unfamiliar female voice.
"Yes. Who's that?" says Alexa, with a hand under her chin.
"This is Julia, from the BBC Television Centre. It's about your audition."
"Oh yes! Is it good news?" Alexa asks impatiently and nervously.

There is a brief pause.

"Yes, it is. You've got the part!"
"Really?! Oh, that's great news! Thank you!" says Alexa, squealing and smiling.
"It's my pleasure. You'll recieve the script in a week." says the woman, sounding pleased for Alexa.
"Ok. I look forward to recieving it!" says Alexa, sounding very happy.
"Great. Goodbye then Alexa!" says the woman.
"Goodbye!" says Alexa, quickly hanging up.

Alexa puts the phone on the little table next to the sofa. She jumps up and screams.

"Woo hoo!" she exclaims.

Alexa jumps up and down a few times, before she looks out of the living room window, and sees a young man looking in as he walks by. Alexa stops jumping and moves away from the window, and goes into the kitchen.
She gets a pen from the pen pot, which is on a table by the calender, which is hanging on the wall opposite the oven.
She writes on today's date that 'I got the part for the BBC TV show!'. She then draws a smiley face next to that, and smiles herself.
