Chapter Six
“Wow, Underwater Nosh? I probably couldn’t even get twenty feet from the entrance,” Kathy says, poking her head into my bedroom.
“Same here. It sounds so exciting. Actually seeing Hollywood, you know?”
“Rich – he used to work with Jon. If he likes you, I bet you can totally get a part.”
I freeze. I am holding a dress in my hands but suddenly realize how ugly it is and toss it onto my bed. Get a part? That seems wrong somehow and is not what I am aiming for. Spurred on by what Kathy just said, I follow her to the tiny kitchen. She is making instant noodles.
“Get a part?” I echo.
“Yeah, that’s right. I mean, he might think you’re perfect for something and give you an audition, at the very least.”
“Isn’t that...” I grasp for the best word to describe it. “Cheating?”
Kathy
