I was extremely nervous and my hands were sweating, when i went through my text with my friend Tasha for the hundredth time.
"You know it, Cam! Stop practicing. My head is already about to burst."said Tasha.
"No, it's not enough! A casting is something serious, okay? And i don't want to screw it up. It may be my lasy chance to audition for duch a great movie. And don't you get thst i'm excited? No thst i'm eighteen, Dad allows md anything and i can start an acting career! Do you hear me? An acting career, Tasha!"i yelled completely out of my mind. I was literally freaking out. I had to be perfect. Perfect for the role of Maya Hennings, a girl in a highschool, that falls in love with her brothers best friend. I knew my text very good and i acted it out a thousand times, but i was afraid, that i would fail to do all that good enough in front of strangers. At the casting...
"I understand you completely, but can't you have a break?"Tasha asked. Then she grinned: "And do you want to eat a kit kat too?"
"No! I hate chocolate!"i protested.
"Since when?"asked Tasha.
"Since i am auditioning fo this role, okay? No questions."i said.
Tasha looked at me with huge eyes: "What the hell? You are doing a diet? Cammie, do you ven know how skinny and perfect you are? Girls can just dream of looking like you. And you are still unsatisfied!"
"Oh come on. It's my choice."
"Nope. Eat this chocolate, or i'm gonna leave. I swear i'm gonna leave."said Tasha provocative.
"No. I won't eat it."
"Okay. Bye then."said Tasha and took her bag.
"Wait!"i yelled in panic, afraid that she would really leave.
Tasha smiled:"Yes?"
"Give me a peace and nail your butt to that chair, do you get me? No moving!"
"Already working on it."said Tasha and gave me a little peace of the dark chocolate. Then she set down on the wooden chair.
"One more time. Check if i'm making any misakes."i said nervously. Tasha nodded.
I looked with a serious face to the window, imagining a tall, attractive boy sanding there. Actually, the boy from the movie; Mayas best friends brother. I had no idea what the actor would look like, so i imagned him with out face.
"Look, Zed, this can't work. I lost everything. My best friend, the trust of my parents and... i almost lost you. Just because of our relationship. I don't even know, if you take it seriously!"
"Blablabla, says Zed."added Tasha, looking on my text-papers.
"Yeah, sure! Why didn't you come then, when i needed you? Why, Zed?"
"Blablabla."said Tasha instead of Zed.
"You are trying to deny it. That won't work, because... i love you too much, okay? I hate, that i love you, because this love brought me nothing more than pain and guilt. I hate you so much, Zed."
"Zed stoppes Mayas words with kissing her out of the blue. The kiss gets intenser, and the two characters fall on Mayas bed. The kissing continues."read Tasha."Damn, hun, this will be some hot shit. I wonder whom you will have to kiss like that. Let's hope for you he is good looking and doesn't keep his chewing gum in his mouth, while he is kissing."
I laughed: "I don't really care. I just want to get Mayas role and start my dream career. Without dad interrupting. Mom wants me to do what i love, just dad doesn't support me. It's kind of sad."
"You can do this. You are a great actress, I've seen it myself."swor Tasha.
I smiled: "Thank you, Tasha. Thank you so much. You will probably be the reason, why i will survive the casting."
"Cammie, i won't be the reason. You will be the reason. You are strong and confident. Keep that in mind. It's the truth."said Tasha.
I wanted to believe her. I really wanted to. But was i that strong? I felt strong, but what if it would suddenly change?
"By the way, if we are already talking about the casting; i think it's time to go. Look at the clock."
God, she was right! I grabbed the text-papers and threw them all into my bag.
"Do you need someone to drive you there? I could do it."offered Tasha.
"Umm, yes, that's awesome. Let's hurry!"i said.
We ran out of the house and jumped in Tashas car. She dove as fast as she could,
"Will w be there in time?"i asked.
"Calm down, we will!"said Tasha.
I closed my eyes and leaned back for a moment. Soon i would say my text at the casting and they would decide, if i was good for the role of Maya. I had hope.
The radio was really quite, what made me think too much about my audition. And a good song was being played. I turned up the volume and 'Feel so close' filled the whole car. I liked to sing, so i sung the text with. Tasha joined and i forgot about my casting-stress. Whenever we had to stop at a red light, people were saring at us, because our windows were open and the music was extremely loud. I didn't care about their shocked faces. I was a little bit amused by them.
"Two minutes and we will be there!"screamed Tasha over the music.
"Great!"i screamed back.
When we parked, we turned the music off and git out. My stress came back.
"Good luck. I don't think i'm allowed to go in there."sad Tasha.
"Thank you, sweetie. For everything. For learning the boring texts with me, for calming me down... See you later."
"Yeah. Bye then."
Tasha left me at the door and i was filled with excitement and fear. My first casting. Finally. I had to be really great. I had to get the role of Maya Hennings.
I went in. The hallways were full. Full of people, who came to audition. Did i even stand a chance? There were so many.
One girl got called in. But the others still had to wait.
"Excuse me, how do i get in there?"i asked a girl with beautiful, blue-green eyes. She would probably get the role of Maya. She was so pretty.
"Oh, jus register right over there. You will get a number and they will call you, when its you turn. Do you have all your papers?"
"Yeah, i guess. Thanks."i said.
I went to the register-table and told the guy my name and for which role i was auditioning for. He nodded and gave me a number.
I set down a bit frustrated. How long would all this take? Three hours? Four? I had nothing to do in that time, except practice again.
The girl from before got send out. Her face was covered on tears. I wasn't sure if it was for the audition or real.
"Cammie Green, please!"yelled a woman.
I was so surprised, that i nearly fell of my chair. Why me? My number was 406! And there were other girls, that already waited much longer than me!
"Cammie Green? Hello, is there a Cammie Green?"
"Uh, yes! I'm here!"i said fastly.
The other girls looked at me angrily. I tried to smile like i was sorry. It wasn't my fault!
The woman pushed me in th room.
"So, Cammie, you want the role of Maya Hennings?"
"Yes, that's right. I really like her character and wow, the story is amazing."
"Nice. Can you please act out part 22?"
"Sure. From the beginning, where Maya and her friend fight, or from the part where Maya argues with Zed?"
"Act out the fight with Mayas friend, please."
I nodded and closed my eyes for s second. I had to concentrate. Then i started. First i felt uncomfortable and weird, but after some time i was really in my role and was screaming at the wall.
"Jules, you don't even know what's going on!"i yelled upset. Tears where showing in my eyes. I imagined Mayas best friend Jules screaming back.
"What? Who told you that? You know what, Jules? Forget it! Get our of my house, my life and room! I don't want to see your face ever again!"i screamed.
"That was very impressive! You did this part surprisingly well... Cammie. To be honest, really, really good. Would you give me a moment to discuss something with the director?"the woman asked.
"Oh, of course!"
I left the room.
The girl with the beautiful eyes looked at me: "And? How did it go?"
"Actually pretty good, i think."i confessed.
She smiled. A few minutes passed by and i was getting nervous. No girl got called in.
Then the door flew open.
"Everyone auditioning for Maya Hennings can go home. We are really sorry, but we found our Maya. Cammie Green, please join us."the woman said.
Everyone was freaking out, and i was in cloud nine. They said i'm Maya. Did that mean i got the role? Oh my gosh, was it true? I went in the room again. I felt lik crying, because i was so happy.
"So, Cammie, your audition was so good, that we decided to take you right now. Welcome to the cast!"she smiled.
I didn't want to be unprofessional, so i didn't cry, but i couldn't stop smiling.
"Thank you! This... This is great. You just made my year!"i laughed. The woman laughed too.
A small guy in a red jacket cam in.
"Miss Green, please follow me, so that the audition can go in! We will explain everything in a minute."he said. So i followed him.
He brought me in an other huge roon full of people. It was probably the filming-crew.
"So, Miss Green, we will start with the filming after tomorrow. Make sure you are in time and everything you have to bring, is on this list. Okay?"he asked.
"Yes. Great."i said.
I took the list and put it in my bag. It was my ticket to paradise.
The little man looked around.
"Oh, do you want to meet your colleague? The actor playing Zed?"he asked.
"Sure."i said.
So we walked across the whole room, until we reached a guy standing at the cameras.
He had his bsck turned towards us, so i couldn't see his face. The man with the red jacket pulled the actors shirt, and he turned around.
I couldn't believe what i was seeing. The actor was Dylan O'Brien. He was standing right in front of me.
"Oh, hi. Are you playing Maya?"he asked with a slight smile.
I nodded, but I couldn't talk. The words were stuck.
"I guess we are lovers."he said and i saw his wink.
"Uh"i mumbled. Wow, i probably sounded really stupid.
"So, what's your name?"he asked.
"Cammie. You are... Dylan O'Brien."
"No, i'm santas wicked smurf. Of course i'm Dylan."he said, amused by me being confused.
"Okay, Cammie, you can go now. We will see you after tomorrow."said the little guy.
"Oh, yeah, right."
I walked away. It waw so confusing. Tge actor playing Zed wasn't some chewing gum-dude, it was him. Dylan O'Brien.
