Something about her

- 12 -

Lauren stood on the white cross on the floor in the audition room with the casting director, producer and writer, all sat at a table in front of her. There was other strangers in the room and two camera men all looking at her, but she was focusing on just impressing the three most important people there. To say she felt highly intimidated wasn't far from the truth.

I think that went pretty well, she thought to herself. She was more than nervous when she walked into the audition room thirty minutes ago. Everyone looked bored and tired and also pretty pissed that they had to give up their Saturday just for this one girl to do her audition. But she pushed all the bad thoughts into the back of her mind and proceeded with the audition, putting her all in to it.

"Okay, thank you, Lauren. We'll be in touch" was all that the casting director said before he dismissed Lauren and nodded towards the exit.

"Thank you" she smiled brightly and looked at everybody in the room who just gave her a smile and a nod in return.

The raven-haired walked outside and took a deep breath. Jesus, that was so overwhelming.

If she's honest, she's only ever had one movie audition in her life. She auditioned for the role of, Olive on Easy A but she got turned down and Emma Stone got the part instead. All the other times, she just auditioned for commercials. She's a Broadway actress, after all. She'd say she's quite a good singer and she's an average actress. For some reason, everyone at the theater seems to think her acting is extraordinary, but no, she just thinks she's average.

As she made it further away from the building, she pulled her phone out and noticed a text from Camila.

«Camila: Hey, call me when you're out :)»

She closed the text and flicked through her contact list until she reached Camila's name.

"Hi!" She sounded happy, which automatically made Lauren smile.

"Hi there"

"So, how did it go?"

"It went pretty well, I think" she laughed nervously. She doesn't want to jinx her chance of getting the part.

"I'm sure you did great. Does that means you're free right now?"

"Yeah, it does"

"Well, it's saturday so that means I'm free too"

Lauren smiled, "what are you saying, Cabell?" She teased playfully.

"I'm asking you to have lunch with me, idiot"

"Hey!" She giggled, seriously Jauregui, get a hold of yourself. "Where were you thinking?"

"I don't know, maybe you should turn around"

Just as she was told, Lauren turned around and saw Camila standing across the road with Lucas by her left hand side and her phone in her right hand. Her breath caught in her throat when she noticed how casual yet sexy she looked. She was wearing a green plaid shirt and dark blue jeans with White converse and her trademark bow a top her head. Before the green-eyed could fully take the time to admire her, the brunette made her way across the road when the light turned red. She all but bounced over to her with a bright smile.

"Hi" she said, beaming at the green-eyed.

"Look at you" the green-eyed giggled, "and hello to you again" she said excitedly as she bent down to ruffle Luca's fur, which earned her a lick on the cheek and a frantic wag of his tail.
