"What do you mean what? Asked Cathy.
"Its just... like.. Did you do anything?" she asked.
"No! It wasn't like that!" said Cathy.
"Oh good" said Gina relived.
"Why?" said Cathy smirking. "Do you like him?" she asked.
"We're going out tomorrow night" said Gina.
"Oh really? What about Josh? You go over him quickly." said Cathy, sounding a little angry. He was her cousin and thought it was kind of wrong for Gina to dump him and start dating someone else a few days later. Especially because it was her cousin, and didn't like seeing him hurt.
"He is old news. Im in New York now. I can't stay attached to my past" said Gina.
"What do you mean the past you got here a few days ago! And you love Josh!" said Cathy, getting angrier by the minute.
"It is my past. I think I might actually move here permanently. I haven't really decided yet" said Gina.
"You have changed so much Gina. I don't like it. The old Gina never would have done something so low. And call your friends your past. Is that what I am to? Your past?" she asked. She stormed out of the apartment, and slammed the door behind her. Gina looked down at the floor. She did have a point. But she was in New York. She should be able to have a little fun right?
She tossed in turned in bed all night, thinking. About Josh, her parents, Cathy, her friends, her family, and her little sister on the way. She wouldn't even be there for her little sisters birth. She started to cry as she thought about it. She was going to be all alone in New York. When she finally got to sleep, and hour later she was awoken by her alarm clock. She groggily rolled out of bed and went into the kitchen to put on a cup of coffee. She turned on the cold water in the shower, to make her wake up and jumped in. When she got out she drank a cup of coffee and put her hair in low pigtails. Then she picked out a black mini skirt, light blue leggings, and a light blue shirt, and but on some light blue eye shadow, and pink lip gloss.
When she was finished getting ready, it was 1:00, and she had to be at the theater at 2. She grabbed her binder, and her purse, and went out onto the street. Since she had time to kill, she decided to pick up a scone at the café, and then she made her way towards the theater. When she arrived she saw someone she hadn't met the day before. She had medium tan skin, long dark brown hair, and pretty green eyes. The girl playing Nessa hadn't arrived yesterday, so she figured she was Nessa. The girl walked over to her, and smiled.
"Hi, Im Sarah. Ill be playing Nessa." she said.
"Im Gina, ill be playing Elphaba." said Gina, smiling back.
"Your Gina Bolton?" she asked.
"Yes I am" said Gina. This everyone freaking out thing when they heard her name was kind of weird, but she liked it. It made her feel special.
"Wow. Im so happy to meet you" she said, turning her head and staring off into space.
"Thanks" said Gina.
"Okay everyone take your seats. Were going to do another read through, since Miss Rose couldn't make it yesterday.
The girl sat next to each other as they started to read. When they were half done, they were let off for a break. Gina and Sarah sat talking.
"So, what are your favorite shows?" asked Gina.
"Well, I absolutely love RENT, Roger, is absolutely gorgeous." she said. Realizing that there was someone named Roger there, she corrected herself. "Roger from RENT" she said.
Gina laughed. Sarah smiled back.
"So...tell me about yourself." said Sarah, staring into space again.
Gina told her about all of her friends, her family, and her life back in New Mexico. Sarah listened while staring into space, and getting distracted sometimes.
"What about you?" asked Gina.
"Um, lets see... im from Massachusetts, and im really random, and very ditzy. My cousin and her friends, who also turned out to be my friends called me "I.B" meaning inside blonde. It was really funny" she said.
Gina laughed and then told her that she wad going out with Roger (the guy playing Fiyero) that night, and Sarah asked her if she wanted her to help her get ready. Gina obliged, and the rest of the read through went quickly. Gina and Rogers eyes would meet occasionally, and they would smiled. When rehearsal was over, Gina and Sarah started to walk out but Roger stopped them.
"Ill go wait outside" said Sarah, and made her way out of the theater staring off into space. She tripped on the rug once as she walked.
"Hey" said Gina smiling.
"Hey" he said. "So... tonight...where do you want to go?" he asked.
"I don't know. But there is this really nice place called the Rock Hard Café. Its really good and the food is awesome" She said.
"Okay, we'll go there" he said. "Ill pick you up around 8. Well, since you live across the hall" he said.
God Roger, your making yourself seem like an idiot. He thought to himself. God she is so beautiful. He thought, as her stared at her.
"Roger?" she asked, waving her hand in front of her face.
"Oh sorry" he said.
"Well, ill see you tonight" said Gina, she kissed him on the cheek. Being a flirt was fun. She walked out of the theater, knowing Roger was walking, and met Sarah outside. She couldn't see her at first, but then found her at the street corner pressing the cross walk button over and over again.
"Sarah, what the hell are you doing?" she asked.
"What?" said Sarah.
"What are you on!" exclaimed Gina.
"Nothing. He he. Its fun!" she said.
Gina sighed. "Let's go" she said, Grabbing Sarah's arm as they went to Gina's apartment.
