Dreams to be.

Chapter 1: Whats Your Platform?

So much can change if you out your heart and soul into what you love.

I was sixth in line. My heart was pumping and my hands were clammy. I zoned out. Rehearsing my song over and over in my head. Thinking if I mess this up, I just wont be dissapionted, but my whole hometown will be too. More importantly, my family will. I tried so hard to gain their respect. And this was the big step. After all the years of hurt, they'll finally look at me as someone who is doing something with their life, and not just a future 3rd generation custodian, who's gonna get knocked up at a young age.

As I tuned back into my surroundings, I noticed a camera crew strutting towards me. They flash me their stereotypical smile, and start asking me questions, "so sweetie, whats your name and how old are you?"

I raise my eyebrows at the tone of her voice. She's talking to me like i'm a toddler. So me, being the smartass I am at times, replies with, "ohh im 6." with a cheesy smile towards the camera.

The lady just laughs her fake laugh. I chuckle and decide I should take this seriously. "im actually 17 and my names lisa."

"Ohhh, great age to start your singing career. Do you have an inspiration?"

"Well my friends inspire me, and I wanna be just like Demi Lovato someday." I say with a shy smile, and glance at my feet.

She chuckles and asks "Do you have a platform?"

"Yes I wanna stand up against bullying. I wanna prove that even if you were bullied as a kid and had to reset yourself-esteem and self-worth multiple times you can still live your dream. and go places no matter what people say to tear you down." I stated with confidence for the first time.

As I glanced around I realized there was only 2 more people in front of me. She looks at me with what I think is support in her eyes. "i'll leave you to prep up for your audition.. Good luck." All the fakeness in her voice gone. I give her a genuine smile and a little wave.

I just stand there smiling to myself that I finally got that out. Just as I was about to zone out again, the person behind me tapped my shoulder. I turn around to face her.

"That was intense." she said giggling a bit.

"Just like the camping trip." I smile.

She burts out laughing, which makes me giggle like a maniac. So we're just standing there holding our stomachs like idiots.

I hear my number called to come back stage and get ready. I turn around to walk to the doors as I say goodbye. She pulls on my arm and says, "Im Joslynn by the way."

"Oh sorry, that was rude of me. Im Lisa."

"I know, I heard your interview. And I really hope you make it. Good luck."

I take a deep breath and spin around to face the big doors that hold what my future will be. I take one more breath and push open the entrance that says 'X Factor Auditions'.
