Age Is Just A Number.......

Chapter 2

Chapter2:-

I sang, and while doing so I noticed he had his eyes on me, I was about to mess everything up but I concentrated on my singing, forgetting about him, although it was hard, really hard. I was done singing and I wanted to know his name badly. I knew how stupid I was when I saw that all their names were written in front of their desks but from how fascinated I was by him, I just didn't notice it. His name was Keith Smith, I wanted to know more about him because I actually never heard or seen him and he seemed pretty famous. They told me that I was the first to sing so perfectly on stage without any mistakes.

I was flying from happiness, it felt like I died then came back to life! I went out dancing and jumping around like a monkey! Aria just gave me the, 'What the hell, stupid?!' look. I looked at her in a 'What are you looking at' way. "Did your auditions go on well??" She asked. I replied, "Apparently." I was so happy, I needed to celebrate so I called my family and told them about the terrific news, they were so happy for me too. It's nice to find someone sharing you the same feelings, unlike Aria who I wanted to get rid of her desperately, but she was my roommate so that was difficult to do!

She had her audition and she was accepted, I congratulated her and we headed back to our room to find a girl who was so pretty sitting on the third bed looking at us. "What's up girls?? How you doing?" "I got accepted in the auditions! Ahhh!" I said happily. "Congrats girl, I mean it!" "Thank you, I'm Riley, Riley Berkley, you?" "Eva Martens, I'm 17, are you 17 too?" She asked. "No. I'm 16, a year doesn't differ much, does it?" I answered her back. "No, it doesn't." She looked at Aria so did I. She wasn't talking to Eva, although Eva and I just got so along together.

"This is Aria, she's 15," I said in the middle of silence. "she arrived before me here and now she's my guide." "Oh! Nice to meet you, Aria." Aria was just listening but wasn't talking or even bothered looking at Eva. It was weird, she talked to me when I came, so why doesn't she do the same with Eva? I thought. "Do you guys know each other?" I asked curiously. "You guys seem to be in a fight." "No, I don't know her, but I wonder if she knows me," replied Eva. "so Riley, tell me about your singing, how did it go? Asked Eva and looked at me in excitement. "It was awesome, girl you had to see that guy, so hot! Damn!

He looked really famous but I've never seen or heard of him." "What's his name? I might know him," she was waiting for my answer. "Keith Smith. He had his eyes on me from the very beginning but I caught myself together, barely, well I think I'm major crushing!" "AHHHHHHHH!" We both screamed loudly. "Do you know him?" I asked her, wondering if she does. "Na, never heard of that name, sorry," she said. "Do you have a boyfriend, Eva?" "Yup! He's called Simon Rodriguez. He's here too!"

"Well you guys have such good luck! Both of you are in the same contest," I was smiling. "No, it's not like that, his brother is the one who got the silver card but after he knew that Simon was dying for a silver card to spend the summer with me, he gave it to him," she answered me happily and was blushing too. Then she went on, "He's Latin, awesome, romantic, not to mention total charm!" We both laughed. "I would like to meet him soon and I might steal him from you, who knows?" I said coolly.

She had a serious expression on her face, "I know you'll wake up in the middle of nowhere collecting whatever is left from your body! Just kidding but try me, he's my guy." I said in surprise, "Chill! Dude I won't, I just told you I'm crushing on somebody, why should I steal him away from you? Makes nonsense to me. Don't you worry, I'm not that kind of girl." "I believe you, you look so friendly and kind," she was cooling down. Aria looked at us from time to time but didn't say a word. The talking went on for so long while Aria took a shower, got herself a snack, and was ready to sleep.

"Time to go to bed, we have a lot of things to do tomorrow, you guys have to be ready," she said quietly and calmly while she got into her bed. I agreed, "She's right, we didn't even unpack our bags. By the way, when are your auditions?" Eva replied, "I'll go and dance in front of them tomorrow, I asked the heads." I was surprisedz and I directly asked her, "How did you get to the heads?" She smiled and said, "Besides being a dancer, I'm a bookworm and a computer geek. Believe it or not, I am! I get to anything or anyone I want." She went on to ask me, "Do you like dancing?"

"Duh! It's my second passion, after singing of course," that was my reply. "Cool! Maybe you could help me sometime, doing new moves, and practicing and all sorts of stuff." I winked and told her, "You got it, but now, it's time to get some rest." We changed into our pajamas and went to sleep, right before the clock strikes 12. The three of us slept peacefully then Eva and I woke up to see a five-star-hotel breakfast.

"Good morning ladies! Time to eat." Eva and I opened our eyes wide, this was not Aria that we just saw yesterday! That was crazy, a five-star-hotel breakfast and a good morning?! Okay, totally strange! Yesterday she was rude and mean and it felt like I wanted to choke her but today...........she's that!

I might want to be her best friend! It was a five-star-hotel breakfast that she prepared herself! I doubted if the food is poisoned to be honest, but I just kept my mouth shut. We both, Eva and I, went to the bathroom to wash our faces and sat down at the small table in the middle of the big room to eat. I pretty much didn't describe how our room looked like. It was big and we had one big bathroom, a living room with an LCD, a bedroom with 3 beds, and a kitchen, a small one though. "Did you prepare this yourself?" Eva just wanted to make sure. "Yes, I was so mean to you guys yesterday night and I had to make it up to you," Aria said smiling.

"I hope we stay friends even if the road ended here." "Yeah, we should," I said and completed to say, "I really like the food, Aria, It's very delicious. I didn't know you were such a good cook. Thought you only act." "It's just a hobby. It's really amazing," she said. Eva interrupted, "Okay, what are we going to do today? I'm planning on a girls' night out." Aria thought for a few seconds while I was chewing my food and thinking at the same time. "So, what do you say? Are you guys in?" Eva seemed so interested while saying that.

Aria started talking, "It's a good idea but we have no cars to go anywhere and I personally don't like riding cabs the whole time." Eva laughed, "I have my car, no taxi needed when I'm around, Aria." "Alright then, but other than that, what are we going to do for the rest of the day?" I wanted to be prepared. Aria seemed to have a ready answer, "We'll go with Eva when she performs for support, then we'll head to the big pool where stars go too." I was so not following with Aria I just started wishing Keith would be there. I stayed unfocused for a minute or two, until Aria saw that I wasn't listening so she snapped her fingers at me.

I got back to the real world. Then she went on, "We can have lunch there and come back to our room to get some rest, and afterwards we can check if we were classified as 'A stars'." Eva asked her about the meaning of 'A stars'. Aria replied that if our talent was good enough we can be qualified as first class, if the level of the talent is intermediate you get classified as second class, also known as 'B stars' and the third level is that you have talent but it's not so impressive so you get into third class or 'C stars'. Then Aria went on again to tell us about the 'plan'.

"Then, we can watch some TV and have our night out. Sounds good?" "Aha," I shook my head in agreement. By that time we were done with breakfast, and took turns to get into the bathroom to brush our teeth and get dressed. To our shock, it seemed like it was planned but it wasn't we all were wearing the same black miniskirt but thanks God we had different shirts on. I wore a black tank top, well, black fitted me a lot, Aria's shirt was red and had black, bold writings on it and Eva wore a peachy short-sleeved shirt. Aria wore flats, so did I. while Eva wore high heels, literally high. We looked so good. It looked like we shined more than the sun did!!!
