Remsen decided to hang out with Ariana at her house today instead of helping me with the auditions. I don't really know why, probably because she thinks something is going to happen between me and Jason. Jason and I continue walking down the stairs to where we will be auditioning people for my band. I look over to Jason and he notices me staring as we're walking down the stairs. Jason looks at me and double-chins making the weirdest face humanly possible "Attractive." I say and laugh a little "Well apparently you think so. Remember Josh Johnson? God he looked like a fucking toad." "Screw you! He was hot! At least he used to be ... Have you seen him lately?" I ask "Yea! I saw him at the basketball reunion." He responds with a laugh and I nod.

We finally make it to where we're supposed to be and sit down. Remsen and I spent all of our free-time pinning up posters on light posts, hammering signs in the ground and handing out fliers advertising these try-outs, hopefully it'd be a good turn out. "Okay, first up, Alicia Marlone." I say and a red-headed girl carrying a bass guitar walks out "Start whenever you're ready." I say and she nods. She takes a deep breath and starts strumming. I look to Jason with a raised brow as Alicia clumsily strums her guitar. We both put a line through her name. "Next is Juliana Jackson!" Jason calls out and A beautiful brunette walks out from behind the red curtains holding a black bass guitar "Alright, start whenever you're ready." I say and she nods. After a few seconds she starts playing. 

After finishing up the auditions Jason and I look over the possible band members "Well, Josh was pretty good on the bass, but Jeniveve absolutely shredded." Josh says and I nod in agreement putting a check beside Jeniveve's name "What about Rachel and Jamie on the acoustic guitar?" I ask "Now that ... That's a difficult one." He says and I nod "I think I like Rachel better." I say and Jason nods putting a check mark beside her name.

"What now?" Jason asks "How about we go see a movie?" I say and Jason nods as we start walking back up the stairs "What movie?" "I don't know, there isn't anything in theaters that I want to see ... How about we rent one and watch it at my dorm?" Jason says and I nod "Sounds good to me." I say as Jason opens the door for me "Thank you." I say and walk through the door.

After finally picking out a few movies to get we headed over to Jason's dorm. Jason puts a movie in the DVR and sits next to me on the couch "Wait..." I say looking at Jason "What's up?" He says looking at me "We need popcorn and soda." I say and his eyes bulge "Yes." He says and runs to the kitchen. A few seconds later Jason returns with two two-liters of root beer and a bowl of freshly popped popcorn. He presses play and the movie starts. The movies we decided to watch is The Hobbit series. It's a pretty good series and Jason hasn't seen them yet. This reminds me of when we used to go to the movie theater when we were in high school and watch scary movies. Jason would always laugh at me whenever I jumped and I'd throw popcorn at him. I grab a blanket from the back of the couch and wrap it around my small frame.

A few minutes into the movie I lay my head on his shoulder and put some blankets on him too. He puts his arm around me slowly and I smile up at him. Jason looks down at me smiling and smiles a little. He leans down and our lips are brushing when the door swings open. We both look over to the open door and see Jason's roommate Blake "Oh ... Am I interrupting something?" Blake asks and Jason looks at me "Guess not." Jason says and takes his arm from around me.

Blake snickers and walks into the bedroom. "Listen, I had fun but It's getting kind of late. I'm going to head back to my dorm and get some sleep." I say, kissing his cheek "Fuck you." He says with a tiny laugh and grabs my face kissing me, I kiss back and fireworks go through my body as our lips move perfectly in sync with each other. 

After forcing myself to pull away from the kiss I walk out of his dorm and sneak down the stairs. I walk back to the girls dorms and up to me and Remsen's dorm. I shut the door behind me and see Remsen sitting there smiling "So, how'd your little date go?" She asks "It wasn't a date... But good." I say and climb the ladder to my bed. "Not a date, hm? Then why did I get a text from Blake that Jason had his arm around you and you were about to kiss." She says with a squeal at the end "Because, Blake is a filthy liar. End of story." I say and feel my phone buzz against my leg. I look at my phone and see a goodnight text from Jason, I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss those.

"Come on! Tell me about the secret date and I'll tell you a secret." Remsen begs "I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't go on a date I just hung out with one of my old friends." I say while lying down. "Alicee." "Remsenn." "Alice, seriously." "Remsen, seriously." I say copying her whiny tone "Fine, but you don't get to know my secret now." Remsen says crossing her arms "Didn't want to." I respond blandly.  I turn on my side and see someone with a troll face mask on and a black cloak "Remsen..." I say in a shaky tone "Yea?" She responds in her usual cheerful voice "Are you seeing what I'm seeing..." I say, not breaking eye contact with whoever is in the mask "It's probably just Damien playing a prank." Remsen says "But...We're on the third floor..." I say slowly and Remsen looks over.

I open the window and the second its open I punch whoever is in the mask in the face. The head and body goes swinging backwards from the punch but starts coming back. The head lands in my lap with the body still hanging out the window and I scream pushing  the head out the window with the rest of the body. I hear laughing and turn around slamming my window shut. I see Mia laughing with a video camera pointed at me and Remsen laughing beside her "Ha ha ha, real funny you two." I say and lie down "We got her so good." Mia says high-fiving Remsen.

"Alright, but seriously. You've got some competition to be the opening act for Atlanta." Mia says and I turn to her "What?" I ask "There is a new girl, her name is Jordan and you two are competing for the opening act on Atlanta's tour" She says "But don't worry, even if you lose you'll be the opening act for Atlanta on her next tour." Mia adds "Well what do we have to do to get the opening spot?" I ask "Atlanta is just going to pick out which person she likes more, so, if you aren't already, I'd try to get on her good side." Mia says "I think I already am." I say "Well, you're already in the lead 'cause Jordan doesn't have a drummer." She says and I nod "You two will be meeting up tomorrow and playing a song for Atlanta." She adds "Got it." I say "Alright, I'm going to head out. See ya." Mia says grabbing her purse and walking out. I lay on my back and stare up at the ceiling. What if I'm not really on Atlanta's good side and she's just being nice. What if Jordan gets the opening act even without a drummer and I have to wait who knows how long to open for Atlanta. With all these questions and more roaming my head I try my best to actually get some sleep.
