Terrell is seated in front of me, listening to my audition piece. I feel nauseous watching him. What if he says my piece is bad and that I should scrap it all? Sometimes I feel like the time I’m spending perfecting this audition piece is pointless. With the way things are going, if this Aces bullshit reaches Juilliard, I don’t think it will matter how good my audition piece is. They won’t want a student who’s been accused of all the things Aces has accused me of. Especially since none of the accusations were entirely false.
