chapter seven . auditions
Jonna stood nervously outside of her auditions. She gripped her folder close to her chest while she paced, repeating her lines in her hand.
"Jonna Miranda?"
"That's me." Jonna walked up the steps and into the building. She couldn't help but nervously glance around her at the quiet atmosphere she was in.
"So you're next up, just wait out here until they call next." The lady, with the looks of a secretary, told her. Her voice was dull and it was obvious she didn't care that much about the audition.
"Thank you." Jonna responded quietly. The lady nodded her head and walked away, leaving the girl alone in the hall.
She waited a few minutes until she saw a girl race out of the auditions, tears streaming down her face. It only made Jonna more terrified of what possibly could have made the girl cry.
Jonna felt her face go pale when she heard them call next. She slowly stepped into the room where the group of directors sat.
"I'm Jonna Miranda and I'll be performing the song and monologue for..."

"So what did you wanna talk about?" Maisie walked into the living room. It was shockingly empty, the only other person occupying the room was Adonis.
"Can you sit down?" His voice came out soft and nervous, something that was extremely out of character for him.
"Yeah, sure." She sat down next to him onto the couch, watching as he squeezed his eyes shut. It was like he was mustering up the confidence to talk to her.
Adonis sat quietly, trying to word his next words correctly. Nothing sounded right. "I like you." He finally blurted out. "If you don't feel the same way then we can just pretend this never happened..." he began to ramble.
Maisie smiled at him, setting her hand on his arm to interrupt him. "I like you too."
"Really?" He exclaimed, a grin appearing on his face.
"Yeah, really." She told him, watching as he fumbled to say his next words.
"Can I take you out? On a date? Like a real date?" Adonis asked. His voice rising with more excitement each time he spoke , nobody ever sees him like that."
"Yeah. I'm free whenever." Maisie laughed.
"How about tonight? I can take you to the movies?"
