I appreciate the fact that you're in High School, so you probably haven't had a lot of experience with auditions that require prepared material. Nevertheless, I'm going to give you a little friendly advice:
You should never, and I mean NEVER, audition with a piece that you only learned a day before. Or a week before, for that matter.
It is simply impossible for an actor to "get to the bottom" of a monologue in a day, or a week, or even a couple of weeks. You need to LIVE with the material for awhile, until it becomes second nature, and until the movements of the performance seep into your muscle memory. Only then can you be assured of giving a quality performance in any audition context. If you go in with a piece you only learned the day before, your "performance" will simply be a matter of trying to remember which line comes next. That's not the same thing as acting.
So. Do your best tomorrow, BUT...what you really ought to do is start putting together a short list of monologues you like. Get to work on them right now, and they'll serve you well the NEXT time this comes around.

Try going to www.geocities.com/absaroka2001.
The Stageplays "Faces In The Raft" and Voices From The Cafe" each have 8 monologues.
"Labor Day" in Faces In The Raft, and "The Fall" in Voices From The Cafe are very short.
Both stageplays have been produced.
