AraBella smiled to herself as she signed her name to that green paper, on the clipboard at the desk.  She thought signing herself out of school was the easiest thing she’d ever done.  She made a mental note of that as she made her way out of the front doors and down the steps of the The Brearley School.  The school she rather enjoyed, in a way but she’d never allow her parents to believe she actually liked the school they picked out for her.

She had to hurry to catch the subway to make her audition.  She had an audition for a Broadway show.  She wan’t even allowing herself to think it more than audition for a play.  She wasn’t even gonna acknolwedge the name unless she got a part.  She swiped her metro card and walked through.  Stepping onto the train, and taking her seat as she smiled, reflecting on her last year of high school, and off into the world she’ll make her way. She realizes she probably hadn’t really done too much to excel in her job search for a show, just one show, so she could say she at least attempt her dream, and not have to go through life and wonder what she had missed out on.
