Hired by Horan

Chapter 4

"Katie!!!!!!!" My mom shrieked a little too excited. I was starting to get nervous, shouldn't she be upset at me for not getting the audition, hmmm. I walked over to see what all this was about.

"You called?" I stated blankly to my mother, who was looking WAY too happy.

"YOU GOT A CALLBACK!!!" She yelled with excitement as I covered my ears so as not to go deaf. Did I just hear her right??? Did she really just say CALLBACK, NONONONONO, this CANNOT be happening!! My life was supposed to go back to normal, me stuffing my face and playing video games, but now I have to spend another dreadful day in that HOT PINK room?!?! There's no way my mom will let me out of this one either....

"What did you say to get them to like you" my mom said with a huge smile on her face.

"Apparently not enough..." I inaudibly mumbled. Then I said, "Can I please not go? Let one of those other girls that actually wants the job get it!"

"No, you are absolutely going, plus those girls are total snobs and they weren't only rude to you so now you are going to go and do whatever you did the last time in order to beat the crumb-cake out of those girls and make them eat their words."

She was right, if for nothing else I could do it to beat those horrible pricks. And its not like it's for a life-changing event, it's just a commercial, or at least that's what I'm assuming. Maybe it's just an embarrassing commercial, which is why they are keeping it so secretive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Of course I had to sit and wait in another Hot Pink room for 5 hours with half of the same horrible, fake girls as before. Why am I even here? Even I wouldn't give myself a callback. I'm ugly, talent-less, and I act like a guy. Yes I admit that, in fact, I take pride in that.

They finally called my name after what felt like an eternity (I felt like I was having with-drawls from not having played video games in so long). I slowly got up and trudged my way to the door. I really need to bomb this, I have to be more sarcastic and annoyed sounding then ever before. I DO NOT want to waste another day at one of these dreadful places where the girls are put up for display like candy in a window.

I walked into the interview room and this time they were nice enough to give us a chair, although I had a bad feeling that would mean this is a longer interview than last time. I did notice something peculiar though, there was a new judge at the table. There were the three original judges from the last interview (beaming with joy as I walked in the room, while I felt extremely confused and uncomfortable) and then there was a teenage boy. He was pale and had blonde hair with brown roots. He had a really nice smile that lit up the room and a heavy Irish accent as he chirped out "How're ya doin?"

I sarcastically responded "How do you think I'm doing?! I was just trapped for 5 hours in a fuchsia room!! Honestly, you people ought to repaint that..."

He started laughing hysterically. "I'm sorry, did I say something funny?" I asked annoyed, although his laugh was contagious, but I held back my laughter.

He simply replied "You're so different from those other girls who are head to toe in pink, with pounds of make-up and fake smiles, expensive clothes, and extremely chirpy, overly-girly voices."

I didn't know what to say so I just sat there and crossed my arms and waited for the questioning to begin.

finally one of the familiar judges asked me "So, do you dress this casually everyday? At the last audition you wore a band shirt and now you're wearing a t-shirt and sweat pants."

"Yes I do. If you have a problem with it, don't hire me. I don't want to be here anyway, as I'm sure you know from my last interview... you can fill blondie in later." I replied dryly.

The boy just looked at me obviously not used to not getting special attention (spoiled much) then he said "well, frankly, I think it's a good look. Much better than heels and dresses..." he said it with a wink, as if that was supposed to make me drool over him.

Who does this guy think he is and isn't it against the rules of judging to flirt with the girls?!?! Someone please give me a rule book. But in any case, if he expects me to fangirl over him he's got another thing coming because I've dealt with people who think they're all that and it doesn't work out well for them.

"Well Katie, we have just one more question for you before you go and can get back to your video games" I actually let out a sigh and wiped my forehead to show what a relief that was "Do you like One Direction?"

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING, THAT'S THE EVER SO IMPORTANT QUESTION HAHAHAHA!!!!! Of course not, they are a boyband!! That is sooo not my type of music. They sing bubble gum pop and I listen to rock. They are also worshipped by crazy fans who are obsessed over them for no reason. They are just a phase that will hopefully soon blow over. I'm sick of hearing about them." I said and feeling bad because for some reason the blonde guy looked hurt, almost insulted. It looked like he was about to say something but was fighting to hold it back.

I'm telling you this kid is way to used to attention... He obviously wanted the last word, but I wasn't going to give him that satisfaction, so before he could say another word I turned on my heel and left. I'm pretty sure all 4 of the judges were frozen with shock, especially the blonde one. I really need to find out why, it's bothering me...
