The small, flashing light of a new notification on her phone did not surprise her. It was Ms. Miller, her drama teacher. The news didn't really elicit any emotion; just a blankness she had grown used to. There was nothing exciting about it. The world had become a predictable machine, and she had become a cog. She imagined Ms. Miller’s profile, probably full of theatre posters and staged photos. She ignored it. She knew what to expect. This was just how it was. She continued eating her cereal.
