Defying Broadway Gravity

14) Second Umbridge

I woke up at 7:20 today and slightly FREAKED OUT! I grabbed random clothing out of my closest and didn't bother doing anything to my hair. I flung myself at my script, keys, phone, ear buds, book, and put them into by messenger bag before bolting out the door and turning strait back around to get a pair of shoes. I took my shoes in hand and ran down the stair well because the elevator was taking to long. I then ran down the street, with my shoes still in my hand, to the underground. I quickly bought a ticket and jumped on the crowded train and put my shoes on.

When I walked into the theater at 8:20 I headed to the room but was stopped by a cough at the front desk,

"And where are you going young lady."

I turned and looked at a new front desk lady,

"I am Tamsin Gasper and I am almost late for rehearsal!"

I turn to leave again but I am stopped by the same petite cough,

"I am sorry but your name isn't on the list."

I started at her wide eyed,

"Tamsin Gasper? I am playing Elphaba Thropp in Wicked! Please let me go I am going to be late!"

I check my watch to see that is it 8:24. She looks at me and smiles a nasty grin one might call wicked,

"I am sorry but their is no 'Tamsin Gasper' on my list now please leave before I call security."

She smiles at me and I look at her dumbfounded and start belting out the last verse of Defying Gravity,

"So if you care to find me look to the Wester sky!
As someone's to-"

"SECURITY!"

She yells over my singing.

A big man comes out and looks at me,

"I am going to have to ask you to leave ma'am,"

he looks he straight in the eye and I stare back then walk out side, he closes and locks the front door and I nearly burst into tears. I pull out my cell phone and duke Kyle while looking at my watch 8:26.

"Hello you've got Kyle how can-"

"KYLE I AM LOCKED OUTSIDE THE THEATER! HELP!"

"Stop your screaming! I'm coming."

The line went dead and I sighed as Kyle came striding into view. Kyle opened the door and says,

"Kyle to the rescue!"

The cruel unnerving cough came again,

"I thought I asked you to leave."

"This is our amazing and greatly talented Fabala! With out her their would be no Wicked!"

I let the crimson red blush stain my face as we walk to the practice room and enter it right at 8:30.

The rest of the day was just the usual rehearsal of everything but without scripts (we had a person on script following our lines) and with all of the blocking. At break I had to get fitted for my dresses since none of the previous Elphaba's dresses fit me. Honestly it was quite boring. The thought of the lady at the front desk kept on creeping its way into my mind. For some reason the lady reminded me of Umbridge from the Harry Potter series. From her coughs to smile. I am the Harry to her Umbridge. I go home quite late and hungry. I eat a quick protein meal replacement bar and go to sleep after I get into pajamas. 'Tomorrow here I come' I think as I drift off into a restless sleep.

(A.N: sort but sweet?

Did you have a good Valentine's Day?

I guess I did.... Except for the fact that I am lonely! 😫😞

Personally (being 12/ almost 13) I don't really care about boys but.... Not even one person wished me Happy Valentines Day!

I am going to stop now!

Good night Pandas!
