Life and Dreams

So, the strangest thing happened in my acting class today.

Not the one where I am a student, the class where I am a TA.

SS had to leave early, so I was packing up the room. As everyone filed out, they were saying goodbye to me. Some byes were lengthy, some not. One girl, SZ, poked me in the arm as she said goodbye. I found that odd.

She is one of the best in class. I have worked with her on some of her stuff, but I have never needed to do much. We are usually polite to each other.

Last week, as I was leaving, she was heading to her car and we walked a bit together. Not much, and really only spoke small talk.

So, she pokes me. I talk with another person and then that person leaves, and I hear them get into the small hall, and gasp. Then, I hear SZ voice sound surprised. She says she has just come back to say goodbye to me.

I turn to the door.

There she is. I say hi, and continue to wrap up the camera. She walks over to me. I tell her she had a good class, and she responds cocky with a Yeah, I know.

Then, she hugged me.

It was so odd that I had the dream of a girl from class hugging me and then she comes in and hugs me.

Well, this one sadly can't go like the dream. I can't date students. Even if I could, I don't really think she is one I would anyway.

She stood a bit after hugging me. I, trying to come up with something to say, asked if she had an agent.

She said yeah, and I said I was sure she had them all. She said she was missing one.

Which I said.

A boyfriend, she said.

Ok.

Kind of obvious.

I asked when the hirings were taking place.

She said next Tuesday.

She told me to bring my resume, and then left.

Too easy. Also, too dangerous.

If you want something, don't ask for nothing. If you want nothing, don't ask for something.
