My first audition of the day just ended.

I clapped as the final chord played. "Thank you, Calum. You did wonderful! I have two more auditions today to hear so you will definitely get a response from me tomorrow on your status alright?" I said smiling at the dark haired boy, who was packing his things.

"Yes of course, thank you. It was an honor to audition for you, i appreciate this opportunity." He replies in his accent, smiling.

"Alright well i will contact you tomorrow, alright?" I say standing to shake his hand.

"Yes ma'am, thank you again." He says accepting the shake and then gathering his equipment and leaving the room.

I walk back to where i sat and wrote down a few more notes on Calums performance. That was until my phone rang, it was Katie.

"Hey girl whats up? The audition just finished." I say picking up the call.

"Okay cool, i was just letting you know that i was leaving now. Is that ok?" She asked.

"Of course, i just have a few more things to write down then ill be there."

"Sounds good, see ya!"

"See ya!" I replied and we hung up.

I decided to keep the folder there as i had the later auditions, so i sat those aside once finished and got in my car to drive away.

Soon enough i met Katie at the labels place.

"Ready to go in?" She asked me calmly.

"Yea, as ill ever be. Im confident though." I said smiling as we walked in the revolving doors.

"Hello girls how may i help you?" Asked the lady from the front desk, "oh its you! How have you been?" She said recognizing me.

"Oh hi Miriam, im so glad to see you are still here! My friend Katie and i are actually meeting with the label today to talk representing again."

"Well hello Katie dear, its a pleasure meet you!" She chimes shaking katies hand.

"Pleasure to meet you as well, Ma'am." Katie responds.

"Oh please dear, call me Miriam! Any friend of my dear Hailey is a friend of mine. We go way back, shes like a granddaughter to me." Miriam smiles to Katie.

"Well alright then Miriam, thank you."

"Ooh, i forgot to mention..the label is under new management, so theres no more meetings with  Galveston...yet at least. First you meet with the new owners who in my opinion are quite snobby and rude, vicious even. Then if they approve they reschedule you to come in for a listenin with Galveston, or whom ever is chosen."

"The owners have to approve?" I questioned "what happened to Galveston owning it?"

"Well, you know about the divorce...his wife took everything. These new owners bought him out, he used that money to get a place and still works here, just under them."

"Thats poor man!" Katie frowned.

"I know. Well, lets get you girls in.."
