Chapter 1: Cheating Fate

The five girls of the Tunbridge Drama Association were supposed to be quickly changing between scenes. The low budget production was only overshadowed by the dilapidated community center that they had managed to fill out with family friends and thanks to their high school a whole media class full of bored students who would be expected to write a review of the play. Their changing room was a makeshift partition that had been put up behind the stage.

"come on girls!" she screamed stress getting the best of her. the others all jumped too trying to get ready.
