Special Cast, Special Love [Logan Lerman's Secret Tale]

9

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Holly Klaus Drama Academy's first Hollywood Exchange Program 2013."

Lisa flashed a cheerful smile as we clapped. Other four judges walked to join her on the spotlight. Just like the first time, the four were in their business suits and looked all serious-business. I couldn't help but frowned when I noticed that the most important person who supposed to be here was not where in sight.

Slept in? I wonder.

One of the four crept up to Lisa and whispered something to her. I caught her face turned furious for a moment before mumbling something back and turned to us audiences once again

"For those who still don't know who I am," she says "I am Lisa Lerman, the manager of Logan Lerman. He is the host of this audition and the person that would bring one of these talented students into a new world which every actors and actresses wish to be. I'm reckon all the parents that are present in this very place are proud of their child. As, personally speaking, I am quite amaze of my boy."

We laughed. Repeat, everyone even I. I'm not denying that fact that Logan is one talented person. According to Rose, that guy take interests in acting since childhood and how he's what, twenty? If he was kidding about being an actor he wouldn't last this long. At least I won't bother myself reading plays and memorized them if I only plan to take performing for fun.

Before Lisa continued one of the doors burst open, revealing a figure of a person. Their back was against the light so his overall image was pitch black. They walked cooly into the hall, not giving the slightest care that all the eyes were on him. They made their way up the stage and stood next to Lisa. Now in the light, I could made out their identity almost immediately.

Logan sighed as he ran his fingers through his chocolate brown hair, which looked strangely black in the lights. His hair, in my opinion, looked out of place than last night and this morning. His bright blue eyes seemed tired and bored, but they stood out and that made him looked angry and cold. If I haven't met him before I would've thought that he's some kind of a rebellious hot guy or something along that line.

This morning's incident popped up in my mind. I shook it off quickly and decided to focus more on my sweating hands instead. Wait, sweat? Gross, never mind then.

Lisa glared hard at her son for a sec before gather all her senses in her control and turned back to us.

"Finally all the people we needed are here. We'll show the videos of each participants. No, not for humiliation," the crowd laughed, "us judges will comment on their performance, right here, so that it will hopefully help those particular performer to acknowledge what they do well and what to improve on. Then when we've showed all the videos, we will announce the winner.

No one seemed to go against the conditions so Lisa signaled someone behind the stage to turn on the video.

"For this performance, all the judges agreed that this play, Les Miserable, is too difficult for the participant to use for the audition. This participant should've choose a play that she knows well and able to play it best, so us judges will be able to see her full talent. However, we admired your hard work and determination to aim high. If you keep up with these two attitudes, Rachel, we will be looking forward to your future."

Exactly what I thought, the judges admired her determination.

After Rachel's video, the others played after another. Now we up to the last five. To my surprises, no one left and my video haven't been played yet.

Most of the ones that played had the same mistakes. Most of them couldn't get into their character, and because of that, they sounded like they just read the dialogue aloud without the play in their hand. Seemed to me like they were trying to impress the judges about their difficult plays.
