“And fade the lights to black,” Ms. Hollows said. “Excellent, girls. Gather around for notes. Can we have our ghost out onstage, please?”

Tiffany came walking out from backstage, still wearing her scary pale mask with black, soulless eyes. She joined the others at center stage.

“Nice job, Tiffany,” Melissa said as Tiffany sat down beside her. “But next time you should try the scene with the mask on.”

“Very funny,” Tiffany replied, pulling off the mask and scowling. “Maybe you should be in a comedy instead of a scary play.”

“The ghost is an important character,” Bree said.

“Don’t placate me, Gabrielle,” Tiffany shot back. “I know exactly what my role is in this production. I don’t need your pity, and I don’t need your pitiful attempts to try to make me feel better.”

Bree turned away. She had tried being friendly to Tiffany at every rehearsal, even though it seemed at times as if Tiffany was trying to scare her into leaving the show. But enough was enough. She didn’t like Tiffany. She didn’t have to be her friend. She didn’t have to make her feel better. She just had to work with her in the play.

Ms. Hollows gave the cast their notes. She was very pleased with how the play was taking shape, but there were always things that needed to be tightened up and fine-tuned so that the play would go off without a hitch when it was performed in front of an audience.

Following notes, Ms. Hollows dismissed the cast.

“I think Tiffany makes a great ghost, don’t you?” Melissa asked Bree as the two left the school building.

“Why does she have to be so snotty all the time, Lis?”

“Hey, it just wouldn’t be Tiffany without the attitude, now would it? Forget about her. With any luck, that mask will get stuck to her face and we won’t have to listen to her whine anymore. See ya tomorrow, Bree. Gotta run.”

“See ya.”
