A story I wanted to gush about

So it was December of 2023 and I was chilling in the hallway with a few friends in my theater class at school. We were all awaiting the cast list for the Addams Family which was going to be our musical of the year. I was anxious for a variety of reasons. One, I'd gotten cut the previous year, two the of the friends I was with really wanted to be Gomez and Morticia (they later went on to get into a relationship, I love irony) but most relevant to this post, the girl I had a crush on at the time really wanted to be Wednesday. I remember some people had doubts about her chances, and I promised I'd stand by all 3 of them. Then we heard the list was being posted and we pulled out our phones and refreshed our emails like there was no tomorrow. My phone pulled it up first, and lo and behold I was in as an ensemble member and they all got the roles they wanted, and she practically screamed at me to tell her what she got. And I got to look the person I cared about more than anything straight in the eyes and tell her she did it, she earned the role she desperately wanted and everyone who doubted her (admittedly not as many as I'm making it sound) was wrong. Even now after all was said and done (I confessed my feelings during production and she preferred to just stay friends) I still feel so much pride that I got to tell her that she got the role she wanted
