Defying Broadway Gravity

2) Copies

I woke up early today due to the time change. Sighing, I sat up in bed with my hair looking like a Wickershams. I need to get my head shots and resume copied today.

I got out of bed humming 'Amazing Mazzy' from Succical. I put a red and black flannel button-up shirt on over a black tank top and put a pair of black pants on. I grabbed a bag, my keys, a pair of earbuds, my phone, my resume, and shoved it all in my bag. I got my phone and earbuds out while walking out the door. I put the earbuds around my neck while I scrolled through my songs and hit 'No Good Dead' since I was auditioning with that song. While putting my earbuds on I ran face first into someone's chest and dropped everything; my resume scattered everywhere!

"Sorry!" The mysterious stranger bent over to help me clean everything up.

I looked up to find a very handsome man with blue eyes and slightly curly light brown hair. Realizing I ran into the handsome stranger I blushed.

The man looked up and asked me,

"Are you auditioning for something?"

"Y-yes?" I answer confused about why this guy was asking me a question.

"On or off Broadway?"

"On," I say confidently and hoping I don't sound like a snob.

"Cool," he hands me my resume and we both step into the elevator.

"So what show is it?"

"Wicked..." By this point I'm confused why is he asking me so many questions?

"Who are you auditioning for?"

"Elphaba?"

"You don't sound so sure about that," he smirks at me.

"I am"

The elevator opened with a chime and the man turned toward me and said,
"See you there."

'What's that supposed to mean?! Is he a casting director? No, he looks way to young!'

'But then again this is New York... He could be in the current cast of Wicked! He might watch me audition.... That would be weird....'

My mind yells at me in a conversation with myself debating why he was talking to me. Finally I decide to be like Taylor Swift and 'Shake it off.' Right now I need to find a printing shop.

After I found a printing shop I had to wait an hour for them to finish printing. Really?! An hour to print three copy's of a picture and two pages! During the time I waited I went to a little cafe and rehearsed lines.

By the time I was heading back to my apartment it was 11:00 a.m. due to traveling. When I went into the elevator the mystery man stepped in too.

"Here you are again," the man stated.

This time I was armed am with a come back,

"Well I do live here."

"As I can see. I didn't catch your name last time we met," the mans stare made me feel like he was judging me.

"Tamsin, Tamsin Gasper."

"And I'm Kyle, Tamsin," the man, or Kyle winked at me. What's that supposed to mean?!

Relived by the chime of the elevator, I stepped out and turned back at Kyle.

"Bye then."

"Till the next time."

'What's that supposed to mean?! I wish I could read people's body language better.'

I think to myself. This will be a long night full of practice... And thinking...
