On  Monday I went to church for drama practice it was fun because our supper was pizza and one fizzy drink . The first drama group was my brother and sister Quincess and Hala some people was laughing at him because he was the king and my little sister Quincess people was staring at her because  she was facing the back of  Christina and she was folding her hands. Then the next group was Melenoa’s group she was on the stage just sitting down and pretending holding a bible or a book .Then it was my group we have to pretend we are singing a church song .
