We get to school, then hang out with my friends. We have fun, as always.

We go through the day and get to rehearsal relatively quickly. This rehearsal is longer, since we'll be out of school for a while. Our choreographer was working with the  guys on their number, and a few girls were rehearsing in rhe chorus room. I was in the hall, my In The Heights sheet music and my Hamilton sheet music books in my lap. I was going through some of my favorite songs.

"Ew, is that who I think it is? Ham girl? Little miss broadway family. I see it is." The tall, skinny girl, who is for some reason in the musical, even though she "hates our directors". I close the book, which was open to It Won't Be Long Now. "Why do people say you have an awesome belting voice? I don't hear it. Kinda sounds like a dying cat. Or like, an amature singer had strep throat. Ya, that's it." She says. I sit straighter against the tan locker. "I don't see you trying to be a better singer. I mean, at least I have a private teacher." I retort, and she wrinkles her nose. "I don't need one!" She says, then confidently strides into the auditorium.

I continue to read and sing the music, then see Riley running to me. "I thought I heard you down here. Choreo in the cafeteria, 10 minutes." He says, giving me a hand and helping me up. We run to the cafeteria, then continue rehearsal. I've begun to learn how to hide my feelings, so i put on a smile, and even after rehearsal, I'm acting. Riley and i get into jazzys car and we go home.

I go to my room, unusual for me, especially when Rileys here. I hear him ad as my dad mumble, then he comes in and drops his bag on the ground. He jumps onto my bed next to me, leaving the door only slightly open. He wraps his arms around me. "Love, what's wrong. You're acting odd." He holds me tightly, and i rest my head on his chest. "I'm a mess." I simply say, letting a tear go and hit his blue shirt.

"What do you mean? You're the lead in a musical, you're family loves you, you have a boyfriend, good friends-" I cut him off. "That could all end up being fake. I'm a favorite, an unfair favorite, that got a lead. I got taken in out of pity, I can't even really love anyone, with what I've been through. I'm sorry, ry,  I'm really sorry. I just can't do it. There is so much in my head, that stays there. So much no one knows." I say, collapsing into him.

We sit like that for a few moments, him stroking my messy, curly hair, and me quietly crying into his chest. "It was Lindsay, wasn't it. She talked to you again, didn't she." He asks me, looking to me. I nod and he sighs. "Ok, I know what to do. She won't do that again." He says. We had already finished our homework, so we sat like that for an hour until dinner.

Jazz calls us out to the kitchen and serves us  raviolis. We all eat and sit at the table for a while. I get up to use the bathroom, and when i return my family is crowded onto the couch, a spot for me next to Riley and Anthony. I jump onto the soft, brown couch and Anthony jumps up an pops a movie into the x-box that Anthony has in the living room. The familiar music begins. I sing along with the rest of my family and watch my favorite movie.

You'll never get off of skid row. I used to think that was true. But now im here. I got off of skid row.
