*thud*

"You still have the form?!"

"..."

"I mean, could I have the yellow form please?"

"..."

"I'm doing it. I'm giving it a try."

"..."

Ms Andrews' grey eyes were fixed on me, like she was waiting for me to say more things. I sighed, scratched my head a few times before saying.

"I don't care what other people think of me, okay? Not anymore anyway," I said, my expression bored because I was half meant it and half didn't, "I'm happy and like everything I did until today. I put my very best on each performance and I'm sure that I will get better and better since I'll be the one to make sure of that. I don't want to let myself or people around me down anymore."

I wept the sweats by the back of my palm and breath heavily. My cheeks felt really hot from all the running and huffing. I swear to not forget that my school have elevators, seriously, I'm not the sportiest person on anyone's list.

Ms. Andrews' hands were mid-air. She was holding a tea cup, ready to devour it any minute. Her eyes were still fixed on me, I could tell that she's trying to take everything in. Trying to believe that all of this isn't a dream. Lee Campbell's doing something in her own will.

I was expecting a cold turn-down. But what I got was a rare smile from the most coldest coach in the academy.

"I won't ask why you changed your mind."

"..."

"All I want to see is that you are happy about the outcome."

"..."

"In this audition, the participants have to demonstrate a short part of a play of their choice. If they can explain the reasons for choosing that particular play they will have a higher chance to win."

"You helped me too much. I should get going. Thanks."

I scrunched the paper firmly in my hand, never planned of letting go. Before heading out, I suddenly forgot something. I turned around.

As always, Ms. Andrews knew. She smirked, a playful one.

"If you're going to apologize, I won't forgive you until you just get lost and do what your heart desire."

"..."

"For your own good, lower the sarcasm a bit."

I smiled.

"Okay."

*~*~ SCSL~*~*

"Where have you been?!"

Meg scolded at me, but I didn't care. I looked over his shoulder, pass the glass door, where the big hall is. The audition is in there.

"The second to last person finished five minutes ago. They're about to pack up, you'd better hurry."

Jaykey said as Rose gave me a thump up and a big, sweet smile. I wasn't in the mood to smile back. I sighed deeply then stepped inside.

"Excuse me!!! I'm the last one!!!"

All six judges turned to my direction. The ones in suits nodded and sit down, they didn't look to happy to see me.

"The audition is finished." One of them shouted without looking at me.

"But it couldn't be, I'm the last participant." I shouted back, the hall was large, my voice full of obviousness, if that word even existed.
