When his band is in search of a new drummer, you try out. He acts like he doesn’t like you.

I slumped into the plastic chair, the scent of stale cigarettes and coffee clinging to my clothes. My head throbbed in time with the radiator's hiss. After two hours of listening to drummers who couldn't find a downbeat with a map and a flashlight, my patience was shot.
Wren was mindlessly shredding on an unplugged electric, and Sky was scrolling through his phone, both looking as drained as I felt.
Next I muttered, not botherering to look up from the scuff marks on my boots.
The heavy door creaked. I heard the clack-clack of sticks being set down on the snare, then the sharp, rhythmic snap of a high-hat being adjusted. It was a confident sound. Precise. I finally looked up and caught my breath.
She was adjusting the stool, a slight, knowing smirk on her face. She looked like a riot wrapped in fishnets. My heart did a sudden, traitorous thud against my ribs. I immediately shoved the feeling down, hardening my gaze as I eyed her professional kit.
Great I whispered under my breath, crossing my arms across my chest.
Whenever you're ready I said, my voice intentionally cold. I’d decided right then—I wasn't going to make this easy for her.
