It was a bright sunny morning when I awoke. Surrounded by photographic memories spread across the walls. "How did I end up like this"? I thought. I got out of bed and dressed in my blue jeans and jealous tee shirt. Another day. I got out my music and started practicing, practice makes perfect. Right? My dream had always been to take the Broadway stage and sing, no, perform. My name is Rachel , but I like to call myself Rachel Fierce.
I work at Collies Coffee in the heart of Manhattan. I am 17, just a regular teenager, but I want to be anything but regular. Tryouts for Wicked were coming to Manhattan, and I wanted to be ready. I got in my car and drove to Collies Coffee and slipped on my apron.
Bring Bring!! A young man walked through the door. "May I please have a mocha frappe"? "Umm yes" I stuttered. And of course, I gave him a caramel frappe. Classic me. "Hope to run into you again!" I screamed at him. Luckily for me, he had enough humor to scream back, and I gazed at the door as he left.
After 2 more hours my shift was over, I slipped of my apron and drove home. Time to continue practicing. -sings defying gravity- Sigh, I should get some food. I ran downstairs and grabbed a banana and and cookie and sprinted back upstairs. For the rest of the day I studied every note of defying gravity, then slept. And that's basically how my days went for 2 weeks.
Once again at work, that man walked through the door. "Hi again, would you like to be friends?" I asked. " yes, and a caramel frappe with that as well please." He replied. This time, I have him what he asked for. "Bye " I said. When I got home it was time to practice popular. Again, I slept. Repeat. Finally tomorrow are tryouts and I thought I was ready. How many people really ever get this opportunity? I honestly don't know, but I know that I'm one of them, and I should make the most of it.
