Crushed

Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Golden

I gulped and stepped into the marked area. The bright lights flared on me, I couldn't open my eyes entirely. I tucked the extra strands of hair behind my ear and cleared my throat.

"Georgie Henley?" Asked Phil.

I nodded slowly. Alright, it's your time to shine. Your only chance,don't blow it.

"Alright. What's your favourite colour?"

"Green."

"Who are you closest to?"

"My best friend, Anna."

"How do you aerate the grass?"

Um? "Poke holes into it using a garden fork?" Phew.

"What's your deepest secret?"

Gulp. "I have the entire collection of the Logan Lerman memorabilia?" I blushed.

I glanced over to Logan scarcely and he smiled at me, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

"Okay, tell me a riddle."

"Erm." Think. Think. Think! Got one! "If a blue house is made of blue bricks, and a yellow house is made of yellow bricks, what is a green house made of?"

"Hmmm." Phil tapped his pen on his board.

"Green bricks?" Asked the cameraman.

I shook my head.

"Erm, gnomes?" Said someone with a French accent.

I bit my lip to stop myself from laughing.

"GREEN JELLY!" Yelled someone near the back.

I muffled a snigger.

"I don't know. Tell me." Phil stated.

"Glass." I sniggered.

There were oohs and ahs everywhere and Logan gave me a thumbs up.

"Very good. Last question, who do you have a crush on?"

I froze. Should I? Should I not? Ummmmmm. "Er, Logan," I started.

There were some nods. I felt a little vibration in my pocket.

"Very well." Finished Phil.

"And." I scanned the crowd. "Skandar Keynes."

Logan froze, and so did some of the girls, I heard a scowl escape Nina's lips.

"Thank you, Georgie, that was very entertaining."

I walked out of the area and onto the other side. Letting my hair come out from behind my ears, I reached into the pocket in which Logan had put something in and plucked a gold statue out. I gasped. It was a 3cm tall sparrow made of pure gold, with small blue sapphires for its eyes. My finger scraped across the foot of it and felt something etched into the foot of the sparrow. 'Good Luck is always in you.' How did he know? How did Logan know that my favourite animal was the sparrow?

I put it securely into my pocket before flashing Logan a smile. Phil walked up into the area.

"The following six girls have got a callback." He read. "Ashley Yosef, Gabrielle Vin, Ezla Minoth, Luda Francois, Nina Dobrev and Georgie Henley."

I made it. I made it. I MADE IT.
