here i am, about to make the biggest choice of my life:

to audition for the main role of a film.

i've never thought of hitting it big, y'know. 

i've only been on commercials or small television cameos.

but recently i thought to myself: 

if i want to become a successful actress, i need to reacher bigger heights.

my name is felicity jean asbury, i'm 16 years old, and i've been here since six-thirty in the morning,

waiting to audition for a this new film called "dear diary."

i'm auditioning for the role of evie maddox, a fifteen year old girl who's an outsider,

who always writes everything in a diary.

i think the character is pretty cute, and the plot is great.

so why not give it a try?

even if the movie studio isn't well-known.

9:40 a.m.

an hour and a half later, and i've finally been called.

and no lie, the lobby is practically empty,

most likely because i came here pretty late.

"miss felicity asbury," a lady walked out of the room and said. "please, come in."

"oh, yes." i nodded, walking in.

when i walked in, i noticed a few things: 

the dull, white walls, 

men and women in business suits,

tall, green plants in two corners,

and a turned off tv.

the type of things that scream "a serious movie studio"

or maybe even a "low-budget movie studio"

"hello, felicity." the lady said once again. "i'm daphne ulrich. i'm the director of this film."

"it's nice to meet you, miss ulrich."

she chuckled. "please, darling. call me daphne."

i smiled lightly and nodded.

she then pointed at the man at her right. "this is michael pacheco, the casting director.
