Enemies With Benefits / A Doah Story (ON HOLD)

Chapter One - Try Outs

New story who dis📚. Don't know why I putting this but I am anyways this is the new story enjoy.

Dixie's POV

I take a deep breath, letting out all my nerves. Relaxing my shoulders and cracking my back, I wave to Nick who is in line behind me now. We're both trying out for the musical Hercules for drama club, it's based on the Disney movie. I look down at my sign-up paper, looking at the part I circled, I have one of the five goddesses circled. The way Mrs. Barrett explained it was, these five girls will sit on a bench at the bottom of the stage throughout the whole musical and sing when one of their songs comes on. Nothing too big, but nothing too small either. Peeking through the curtains I see that the girls before me are just getting started so I'm going to be waiting a while.

Glancing at Nick again, I see him and his blond hair and short and skinny physique. He reminds me of a skateboarder dude, and I know that is total stereotyping of me. It's true though, even the way he dresses makes me think of skateboarders... and everyone knows to stay away from skateboarders. Nick is different though. First, he is my best friend. Second, he is in drama class and he can sing and dance. Third, he plays baseball. Fourth, he is well-liked and doesn't have people who don't like him. Fifth, and I'm being honest with myself here he is pretty good-looking, but I have been put in the friend's zone. I remember back in our sophomore year, I had a huge crush on him, but it never went anywhere. Now, I just think of him as my very good-looking best friend.

"Dixie, why are you staring at me? Do I have something on me?" He asks, and I mentally shake myself out of La La Land. I smile at him panicking about his audition, I remember him saying something about Pain or Panic the two workers for Hades, but I don't know if that is what he circled or not.

"No, you're fine. Quiet worrying... it gives you wrinkles you know." I smirk at him and narrow his eyes at me. Then his face softens, and a smile spreads across his lips. "So.. what part are ya trying out for?" I ask, raising my eyebrow. I figured out I'm good at facial expressions and being able to control my eyebrows. He chuckles, and hands over his paper, looking at it, I see he has Pain circled. "You know...you could do better than that. Like Phil... or Hercules even." I hand it back, and he scoffs.

"Like you? I Want to be one of the gospel singers." He smiles triumphantly, I let out a breath he has a point. We sit a little longer and chat about who we think is going to get what parts. Talking about how Nessa is most likely to get Megara, she is Mrs. Barrett's little teacher's pet and she can sing but her acting could use some work. After another fifteen minutes, my name gets called. I stand up and relax again. "Good luck, and break a leg," Nick says behind me as I push through the curtains.

"Hello, Mrs. Barrett!" I great handed her my paper, she smiles warmly and she starts in on her questions on what role I want to play and if I'm okay with a speaking part. Once we have all of that done and sorted through, she plays the keys on the piano to one of the songs from the musical and I sing reading the sheet music she gave me.

"Great job!" She applauds, as she plays the last note. "Thank you, Dixie. We will have the final parts posted at the end of the week." I nod, heading out as she calls Nick in. I smile at him giving him a thumbs up, he rolls his eyes and giggles grabbing my school bag and heading back to the study hall. This was the first audition time, and I'm happy to have gotten it out of the way! Sliding back into my seat next to Madison, another one of my friends, I inform her of how it went. She congratulates me, and then she skips back to before I left and continues explaining to me her theory on Bryce and Addison's break-up. I barely keep up, not caring year-round either. She is of course talking about Bryce Hall and Addison Rae. They were together for a couple of months, but everyone knew that relationship was going nowhere. Amelie has a thing for Noah, Bryce's best friend, but he isn't interested in her. So to make Noah more interested in her she went out with Bryce.
