Katherine clutched the script to her chest, covering it with her creamcolored cardigan as she rushed through the rain. Racing down the
uneven sidewalk, she avoided puddles and sprays from cars driving through
overflowing gutters. The sun hovered above the horizon, but stormy clouds
gave the illusion of night.
By the time she got home, rain soaked her cardigan, wetting several
script pages. She grimaced and set the papers on the kitchen table before
removing the cardigan and hanging it on the back of a chair. She kicked out
of her boots and peeled off her socks, dropping them with a slop.
Auburn hair stuck to her freckled skin as she pulled the strands out of her
face. After grabbing the wet papers, she spread them on the wooden floor.
A circle made the most sense; she could sit in the middle and read while the
pages dried, never having to get up. Pages laid out, she went to her
bedroom.
Water made everything stick. It complicated getting undressed, especially
when wearing leggings. Clothes off, Katherine was tempted to leave them

in a pile on the bathroom floor. She scrunched up her face, knowing she’d
be mad at herself later if she left them.
She hung the wet clothes and got in the shower, shivering. Though the
hot water took away the edge, echoes of the chill remained. Closing her
eyes, she tried to rid herself of the annoyances from the day. Running home
in the rain was the least bothersome thing that happened.
Acting was something she’d always wanted to do, but she was shy.
She
longed for the confidence to go on stage and had worked up the nerve to
audition for something last semester. She only had a small part in the play,
but it was enough to encourage her to try for something bigger. Auditions
were the next day, and while others got together for practice, her
awkwardness left her out of the group running lines and going for pizza. In
fact, Ashley made a point to say Katherine wasn’t invited.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, her year-and-a-half crush on Jason Macker
was going strong, and now Ashley had her eye on him. Katherine felt
invisible most of the time, more so when Ashley entered the room.
There was also the minor fact Ashley was going for the same part as
Katherine.
Katherine let the heat from the shower calm her nerves, desperate to do
well tomorrow. She’d worked hard and wouldn’t give up because of a bad
day. A portion of the play included songs, and while she loved to sing,
doing so alone was intimidating. That meant the rest of her audition had to
shine enough it didn’t matter.
Once showered, she applied vanilla and pear leave-in conditioner to tame
her curls before putting on dry leggings, an oversized cable-knit sweater,
and wool socks. The chill lingered, so she stayed bundled and decided to
make a hot drink.
