It was 8:30am on the 15th of May. Only 5 more days until my audition I thought to myself. Best spruce myself up then. Since I took a shower and washed my hair last night I didn't really need to do it again so I phoned the local hair salon and booked an appointment with a stylist there to get my hair done. I hadn't really any plans for the rest of the day but I was hoping that I could go to the nail salon to get my nails done and maybe pick up a few new clothing items just to be sure I look good for meeting Ryan and Brad. The hair salon said their first available appointment was 01:30pm so I had some time to kill .So with this note I went into town and to my usual nail salon. It was nice and quiet since by the time I got ready and left my apartment it was about 10am so people had already gone to work. I walked through the door and shouted "Hi" to my usual nail technician her name was Rebecca she is a really girl. We went to high school together and used to be really close friends, we still speak but not as much, it's nice to re connect though. I sat down in the chair while searching through pintrest on my phone to find a reference picture. "Oh hey (y/n), how have you been, not seen you round here in a while?" "Oh I'm good thanks, I've not been up to much just round her sprucing up before my big audition." "Oooooo, watcha auditioning for this time huh?" "Oh nothing much just our favorite TV ever!" "YOU DID NOT?" She screamed. "Yes I most certainly did." Rebecca stared at me dead in the eyes. "You lucky bitch!" She exclaimed. Imagine if you made the cast you could see all of them like; Lily, Evan, Taissa, Finn, Cody and OMG you might even meet the Queen herself Sarah Fucking Paulson. "I know right." I said while standing up following her over to the table. 2So what are we thinking today then huh?" "Just something simple like this perhaps." I sowed her the simple yet elegant French tipped manicure I had on my phone. "okay certainly we can do that." I took out my purse and paid Rebecca before she began. She was done after about 20 minutes leaving my nails looking flawless. "Do you like them?" She said looking at the excitement on my face. "Yes of course I like them they look amazing!" "Aww no problem, well I best get going now (y/n) I have a client booked in about 10 minutes she's rather picky." Rebecca said rolling her eyes. "Oh and by the way (y/n) if you meet the cast you best get a selfie with them!" She shouted to be from across the other side of the salon. "Of course I will." And with that I left the door and I was back out onto the busy streets of town. "Now what do I do?" I whisper to myself. Oh I have the perfect idea.


I ran down the road and to the nearest bus stop before hopping onto the first bus that came. Perfect. I thought to myself before paying the driver and running up to the top floor and sitting in the front row. It didn't matter how old I got this would be something I always did. I enjoyed doing this as a child. After about 20 minutes on the bus  I walked down to the first level before exiting the bus and walking into the large shopping mall. I didn't really have any idea where I was going so I just had to go with the flow keeping in mind my hair salon appointment was at 1:30pm. I went into many stores not buying much just the occasional jacket and suit and pairs of heels you know. Then I saw it, a gorgeous designer black suit. I knew I just had to have it, at that moment in time I really didn't care how much it cost even if I blew all my savings on it that suit would be mine. I skipped into the shop with only one thing in mind. Before I could even get 5 meters in an assistant stopped me and politely said "Could I help you with anything?" "Yes, yes you could actually, I saw that suit you had on display on the window and I'm actually interested in buying." "Okay miss follow me, so with that I followed the assistant to the back of the store to the fitting rooms. They asked for my measurements and what size I am so obviously I told them and with a few seconds they were back with a suit in their hands handing it out in front of me. "Thank you I said." I entered the dressing room and tried on the suit. As soon as that suit was on and I saw it in the mirror I knew it was the one. So with that I took it off and placed it back on the hanger walking to the desk and paying. I knew this would cost a slot but I just had to have it. The till manager scanned the items while I took out my bank card. Oh Jesus I thought to myself while looking on the screen at the cost of the items. Well you only live once I say and with that I brought the suit and headed out the store. By the time I had finished It was time for me to head back because my hair salon was not in the main part of town but in the out skirts by my apartment. I didn't get on the bus this time but instead decided to walk back to admire my surroundings. Walking through town wasn't really something I did too often, I was a pretty anti social person and spent most of my time at home so when I went out it was a pretty nice occasion. After a while of walking down ally's and busy streets I made it to the hair salon. I was a bit early so I just walked inside and sat on the couch in reception. I checked my phone and saw that Sarah Paulson posted on instgram officially announcing she had a part on American Horror Story season 10. My stomach flipped upside down "oh my god." I said out load, wishing I hadn't, and with that I knew I had to get that role. I text (y/f/n) the news with no answer. She's probably at work I thought to myself, then with that I heard my name being called. I rose from the chair and followed the young woman through to the back room. We didn't speak much while she did my hair, it didn't take long either I was finished after about 20 minutes and left the shop feeling good as knew. Today was quite nice, a day to me, no worry's to think about just relaxing. But this wouldn't last long my flight is in 2 days and I am ever so nervous.
