I disappointed my friend?
Alright, me and my friend auditioned for tweedledee and tweedledum for the school play, we did really well and got called back yesterday, she did really well but then I flopped and kept on reading her lines and I didn't wing it at all. Then we saw all the other call backs and they were really good, now she is really disappointed in me and saying "You fail." and "You ruined my chance." I mean, I really wanted to get the part aswell, people make mistakes right? She also said, "This was one chance of a lifetime and you ruined it." I feel really guilty, but its like she's really angry at me. I cried last night because I felt so guilty.

Wow your friend is a right drama queen. I hardly call a school play a chance of a lifetime and it's not like you ruined her chance at being Alice. If she's done really well I'm sure they'll offer her something. Everyone makes mistakes but not everyone is brave enough to give it a go. You did well the first time so I'm sure it was just nerves. Don't feel bad as it wasn't intentional. Give her some time to cool down but if she persists in being nasty to you tell a parent or teacher. Don't let her turn into a bully just because of a play.

Hey, apologize and wait. She's angry and anger takes time to wear off, she cannot just stop it when it's there - it's really physically not possible.
Wait 1, 2 days and apologize again. Try to talk with her about it, don't avoid it (despite all the embarassment that might bring)
You'll laugh about it one day, especially the drama of it: Come on, it's a school play, not a "once in a time" chance exactly :-) Maybe you have real theater groups in town and could see if they have roles there?

Apologise and maybe buy her her favorite chocolate. She is just upset and confused, she'll come round. It is likely that there will be more opportunities, and if she thinks she's good enough and it's 'your fault' then chances are that she will get better roles in the future :) Also, express to her that you made a mistake, promise her that it wont happen again.
I really hope that it works out for you both xx

I don't think you need to apologize for anything. Like you said, you make mistakes, so does she and everyone else. It was just a school play, not a Hollywood role. She's being terribly oversensitive and making you feel this badly is very unnecessary. I say give her time and if she makes you feel bad about it, stand up for yourself and correct her.
