Do something orginal with spark and creativity. The five of you can do this no sweat. Teachers are really not looking for students to take the easy route and grab the first song written by someone else or script. You would go over much better if the five of you actually thought to yourselves what's funny? What's controversial that needs addressed?, "What do we all have in common? etc etc. and write out some decent sketches or ideas and get your own 5-10 minute script or play out of it.
If they expect a long play, the more you come up with the more material you can use. Ie each do a monologue, some blackouts (one liners leading into fade outs) and put it all together. Going to a bookstore or library also to cheat with having to do so much writing of your own and using monologues from young actors books could work.
Be original though. Think quirky material that others have not come up with. Be sure to look if near you at Second City and sketch comedy and see what you yourselves can develop. You womn't be as good as Second City but find the inspiration within you to wow them.

Find out who has the rights by going online to the
script of Annie for one thing. Samuel French holds a lot of that. Then start calling bookstores that
sell plays and musical scores-. In Toronto there are tons. I do not know about your city.
Also, rent the movie Annie if it is a major number
in the musical movie version at least she can write the words down and give it a whurl. Worst comes to worst, your sister can tell them we left it in my dad's car out of town--but I sing and dance to just about anything you would like--I would like my opportunity at this role. They will give it to her--an opportunity at least for honesty. Have her prepare a monologue and an extra song too boot.

I really want to be a actress and I would do anything to be one. What are some sites that I could go to. I am 13/f (link)

Ignore Barbizon and the other sites. It's all a big scam to get people to buy photos. How dod I know, I have several friends who are casting agents and publicists. Never pay for anything in
this biz and run screaming if they dare try pushing photo packages on you or Internett pages--casting agents will never endorse nor look at them.
Where to start? Well, find out if there are youth theatre groups nearest you doing plays regularly--sign up--do backstage--learn stage management and direction--even from the adult theatre troupes.
Learn all you can about improvisation, writing, crafting of scenes. If near a workshop place like Second City take those classes and all you can get your hands on and do it. Always practice, write your own skits etc.
You never said where you were from either. There may or may not be extras needing to be cast in big budget film read the papers and also get to an agent that handles extras nd see how much you like that or not. The film business is sit around and wait a lot and can bore people.
When you have been in a lot of plays and whatnot only then can you consult a full-fledged agent to represent you. Before that nobody will as you have no track record and agents only sign those that bring them money. They get 20 per-cent of what you make--used to be 10.
