Tina sat at her small desk in the center of what felt like the universe starring blindly at the posters that surrounded her. She found her eyes focused on the bold colors of RENT. It was her favorite show that shed ever seen on Broadway. Of course, it was the ONLY show shed ever seen. Tina Kennard had just moved to NYC 3 days ago from Arizona and was determined to make it the experience of a lifetime. She wanted to see every show, talk to every playwright, and make friends with all the right people. Tina knew most of the people in her office looked down on her. After all they thought she only got the internship because her dear old daddy happened to know someone who knew someones sister that had a cousin who knew a man that owned a producing company. What they didnt know was that Tina called every day begging for his chance, pleading to be heard. Finally after months, the call came in and Tina hopped on the first plane. It was the summer before her final year at the University Arizona and Tina was ready to take on the theatre industry even if it killed her. She brought with her every play she had ever written, even musicals. She knew at some point they would be read by the right people.
Her job in the office mainly consisted of her faxing documents, making photo copies and running across the street for Starbucks. She didnt mind. This was one place she felt comfortable. She could just be herself and know that herself was just fine with everyone around her.

Alex: Tina.

Alex was her kind of boss. He reported to the head of the company and Tina reported to him.

Alex: Tina??

Tina snapped her mind out of dream world.

Tina: Yes sorry. I was just…

Alex: Dreaming, I know.

Alex was young. Maybe 35. He was tall and handsome. His sense of humor and Tinas quick wit made them fast friends as well as co – workers. Their first day working together Alex was singing Pat Beneter Love is a Battlefield He would joke about how he was the stereo typical ***** man. When Tina thought it was safe she announced that she would be to if she wasnt such a *****. Alex was in shock. His gaydar was normally perfect but he didnt see that coming.
