You were walking down the breezy, dark street in Manhattan, New York. You were walking back to your apartment after auditioning for the role of Veronica Sawyer in Heathers. You’re a fresh graduate student of Julliard. You walk with your purse and walk at a steady pace. The sun always sets fast in New York. As you walk, you notice a woman come up to you by your side. Holy shit. That’s Phillipa Soo. Of course you knew who she was. she was your IDOL (also the fact you were a theatre kid.) She was practically worshipped by the broadway community, before you got to say anything, phillipa cuts you off with “Hey! Oh my gosh how crazy to run into you in the street!”. she gives a glance to the creepy guy that was walking behind her, hoping you would understand and play along. you look back, and you instantly understood what she was doing. He was following her. You knew that she was also a person and not a actress so you knew it would not be the time to point her out for her acting and talent but to help her and act like you personally knew her. You respond with “Oh my gosh! hey!”

Phillipa lets out a grateful smile that you played along with her and walks closer to you, “Thank you. He’s been creeping me out for the past few minutes and you’re the first woman i saw and felt i could trust.”

You whisper “is he following you?” and Phillipa nods. You look back once more and put your hand over her shoulder and pull her a little closer. “Just pretend we’re best friends or something” you say and put your hair to the side.
