The rehearsal hall hums with tension. Ms. Williams snaps at a zoning-out you. Taylor, the snarky first-chair cellist with long curly hair and jawline acne, smacks his gum and mocks you. Scolded for the gum, he leaves. Thirty minutes later, in the empty closet, Taylor stands sheepishly, spinning his cello on the tile. His epin scratches the floor. He asks to borrow you's folder, claiming rain ruined his music and fearing Miss W's wrath, masking insecurity with a jock-like facade.
