-Alison Mainhart Ublfy 1171 Writing about Rebecca Wachter isn't easy. It's almost comparable to taking a picture of a moving subject with a cheap polaroid camera-the final print is a blur, the details fuzzy and out of focusg somehow the picture you see on paper isn't quite what you originally photographed. She moves. She jumps from Sometimes I can just see myself living in a huge castle and playing the pia- no . . . to What's wrong with wanting to stay home on a Saturday night with my family? Rebecca Wachter, homecoming queen, isn't all that should be captured on paper. There is Rebecca Wachter, cheerleader, Rebecca Wachter, journalist, Rebecca Wachter, Thespian, Rebecca Wachter, who is so human that sometimes it almost hurts to listen to her answer probing questions, because this isn't the Rebecca that people see at school. I don't go to school depressed or anything. Nobody wants to be around someone who is down all the time. It's awful. For some reason the conversation comes to an l Of Homecoming Queen QRWD uallfy awkward halt as she impatiently taps her fingers on the cool concrete of the patio. She looks out at the vacant football field and smiles. Should I talk about homecoming? she asks.' Yes, please. I remember watching it pour down before the game and thinking, why today? Why our day? And then half-time . . . all I remember is my dad hugging me. That was all that mattered. So this must be Rebecca Wachter, homecoming queen. An important part of her, true, but the story doesn't stop there. Not by a long shot. There is no way to capture on paper the look of total exasperation that crosses her face each time her mind works too fast for her mouth and she messes up her words, or the way she talks with her hands when she can't say what she is thinking. She can never be caught because she moves too fast, skipping subjects, and never, never, saying the expect- ed. This is Rebecca Wachter, individual.
