章 38: Crushing can

When Julie returned to her dorm, a relieved sigh escaped her lips, and her forehead touched the surface of the door. She was away from prying eyes that had tried to ridicule her. 

"What have I done!" Julie banged her head against the door. "Kill me! Kill me!"

On impulse, she had told Ms. Piper that she would play one of the main leads in the play, but now that she was alone and back to her usual cocoon, she realized what she had done. 

When a sudden knock came from the other side of the door, out of shock, Julie slipped backwards and fell to the ground. 

"Julie?! Are you alright??" It was Melanie.

"Yes, give me a second," replied Julie, gathering her thoughts, and she stood up. She opened the door and received a strange and confused look from her friend. 

"I heard some strange banging. Are you sure you are alright?" Melanie asked, and Julie nodded. "Did you find out who you are going to be in the play?  " She asked enthusiastically.
