Part Of Me - A Niall Horan Fan Fiction

Chapter 3

( Jordy's POV )

An audition. That's what it is. I know it sounds really simple but for someone unattractive like me, it's not. "I'm a potato for crying out loud! Nobody's ever gonna get me to be in any music video, yet alone One Direction's Rock Me MV." Hmm... maybe they'll find me cool or something. Scratch that! Who am I kidding! My thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise coming from the drawer. Someone's calling. I bet it's Riley.

"Riley..." I simply said. "Well? Have you seen it? Errm... I think not 'cause you're still chill and all, you're not hyperventilating or something." he said. "No, I've seen it." I know he expects me to be excited about this but I'm so insecure about myself. "Well, we can audition together. They're looking for extra people. I want to try." "I'm not going." I told him. "WHAT?!" Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?!" "I just--" He cut me off, "What?! You're scared... nervous maybe?" "Ofcourse I'm nervous! I'm scared as hell! There's no way I'm gonna be picked anyway, okay? So just forget it. You can go if you want to. BUT I AM NOT GOING TO AUDITION!" "Fine, but come with me. I need you there." he said. "No!" I replied. "Pleaseee" I can see him pouting through his tone. "Oh alright." I shrugged. "Good night. See you tomorrow." "Good night, Ri." and he hung up.

I'm actually quite surprised he let it drop. He didn't contest or talk me into auditioning. Something isn't right. I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid.

I lay in my bed. Felt really tired. My eyes were slowly closing. Soon, I let sleep take over.

( Riley's POV )

"Good night. See you tomorrow." I said. "Good night, Ri." she replied and I ended the call. Did she really think I'd let it go that easily? NO WAY.

I checked the place down in LA where we can audition. Guess what. It's just a few blocks away from our school. There's only one day available, and that's tomorrow. Same day as our final exam. It's all good though. We can go after our test. The booth will be open for the whole day anyway.

I checked the procedure. It's pretty easy. Just be there and fill out a form, submit it to the one in charge and wait for your name to be called. Typical audition scheme.

I have to think of something to get Jordy to audition. I know how bad she wants this. I know how bad she wants to meet 'the lads' as she calls them. It's just that she is so insecure about everything. She didn't have to though. She's perfectly fine. She's attractive, hot, if you ask me. I know, it's weird because I think my best friend is hot. And it's even weirder because I don't tell her that straight up her face. And NO, I do not have 'romantic' feelings for her. It's just that I think she's cool. But she thinks she's a potato. Just like what most girls out there think of themselves. I don't know what it is about women and flaws. I don't get it. All girls are beautiful. Do not let people tell you otherwise.

Minutes have passed. Think, Riley, think. "I got it!" an idea pops out of my head. "I will go to the audition booth first thing tomorrow." I happily went back to my bed to get my mind off things. I closed my eyes. Soon, I was asleep.
