The Girl He Wasn’t Supposed to Want
“Breathe, Emma. You’ve done this before. You just need to”
He stopped mid sentence when another girl walked up, carrying a slim portable keyboard case.
Oh sorry!” Maya said, nearly bumping into Emma. She was in a simple black dress, hair pulled back in a low bun, calm and grounded.
Emma blinked. “No, I’m sorry. I didn’t see you.”
“You’re here for the audition too, right?” Maya asked, smiling nervously.
Emma nodded. “Yeah. I’m Emma. Emma Stanford.”
“I’m Maya Cruz.” Maya extended a hand, then pulled it back, like she wasn’t sure if that was too formal. “Good luck. I really hope we get picked. I really need this. For my mom. For my life. I really need to make my mama proud.”
