amanda ran up the staircase to the roof. “amanda! wait! ” ethan called. “i want to talk to you.”
“about what? ellen’s inconsiderate casting policies? the end of my career with dance happy? ” amanda asked.
“amanda, what if ellen wasn’t being inconsiderate on purpose? what if she thought it was best for everyone involved to just kill two birds with one stone? ” ethan said.
“if she thought she did what was best for everyone, she thought wrong,” amanda said. “this is the third time she has chosen someone else to dance the lead over me.”
“well, who she chose wasn’t just anyone.” ethan replied. “chelsea comes from one of the wealthiest families in our town. i think ellen picked her because donations are down this year. she wants to have funding for the rest of us to be able to dance.”
“if we choose someone to dance lead based on her family background instead of her passion for dance, haven’t we compromised the art? ” amanda said.
“if we aren’t able to keep the doors to the studio open, will it matter who is passionate about dance and who is not? ”
