Miranda

I hung out with Olivia less and was just really tired of being at school and having to

be around him in any sort of capacity.

He was still my acting teacher.

So I was still taking classes of his and I was still seeking training from him on the side because I needed him to help me audition for graduate school and prepare for these big things that were coming up after my senior year.

And I needed him to write me letters of recommendation.

So I was still like continuing to contact him in those ways.

None of it was sexual or as if we were in a relationship anymore, but we never acknowledged it.

He would still try at times, like he would text me and be like, I really miss you.

Did you ever feel like there was any sort of retaliation by him as you were pulling away?

There was no giving me bad grades or withholding educational stuff.

from me.

He wrote me glowing letters of recommendation for graduate schools and gave me all of the training and support that I needed to perform at these graduate school auditions.

The only real bit of retaliation is that my senior year

He was directing a play and we did fall auditions for everything.

One of my good friends at the time was directing a play that I really wanted to be in and he knew that I wanted to be in, but they were happening at the same time.

And so if I was in her play, I couldn't be cast in his play.

I later found out from her when she found out about our relationship that he refused to let her cast me in her show.

So he insisted that he cast me in his show and he purposefully didn't cast me in a lead role.

It's like a Greek show.

So he cast me as a part of the chorus, which is the opposite of what I was slated to be cast in my senior year of being in that department.
