Acacia Brinley Clark: Internet Fame

Chapter 1: Gr8 talents

We paused at the semi-tall building that read "GR8 TALENT." And walked in with a little bit of nerve and mostly faith. There was a lady that looked sheepish and shy standing at the desk.

"Acacia Clark for a voice arts demo" I said shaking a little bit.

"Mr. *gulp* Jageer will be with you s-s-soon." The small lady said. I wondered why she was so scared? Childhood trauma? Might it have something to do with where i am now? Am I making a mista-
