Opportunity of a Lifetime (A Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Story)

Chapter 1: Running into Opportunity

AUTHORS NOTE: Okay guys here's the deal, I had this weird daydream in math where I was in Nordstroms and ended up in a music video and eventually came up with the more complicated concept for this story! I'll be honest the first maybe 4 chapters aren't really all that great because introducing things suck. But it gets better I promise!!! Most of my chapters aren't incredibly long (especially this one) but hopefully it's quality writing.

Please feel free to leave any comments on what you'd like to see, or if I possibly made any errors. Vote for each individual chapter to get my story out there!

Alright introducing "Opportunity of a Lifetime - A Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Story"

------------------

"Hey Skyler let's pop into Nordstrom so I can look at those boots," my mom said excitedly. I walked behind her, holding a bag from Forever 21, only willingly coming to the crowded mall because I knew she would buy me something. She likes shopping with me, and I guess I like shopping with her. Sometimes.

The air inside the store was cold, and I received a sharp breeze every time the doors flung open when someone entered. I stood a few tables over from my mom, admiring a floral pair of Doc Martens. Man I love those, too expensive though. I blew my last 50 bucks on posters for my room.

Someone tapped my shoulder delicately, and I whipped my hair around, assuming it to be my mother, getting a mouthful of my caramel colored locks.

"Excuse me," the woman said, excitedly taking in my appearance. Not my mother. This is weird. I very unattractively got my hair out of the mouth.

Who are you? Her face was too dainty and warm to be any sort of predator, only standing at no more than 5 1/2 feet.

She answered my question before I even got to ask it.

"I'm the video casting manager for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, and you look perfect for a main role in his new music video," My jaw dropped, and I'm pretty sure the words took at least 10 seconds longer than they should of to register. Words can't explain how much I love Macklemore (and Ryan Lewis too.) I know all the words to every song. I went to their last concert of the tour only last week, best night of my life might I add, and now this stranger's saying I'd be perfect for a role?! I tried not to get my hopes up, in the chance it was only a joke. My mom came over, confused as to what I was doing and who I was talking to. I was confused as well to say the least.

"Skyler sweetie, who is this?" my mom asked hesitantly.

"Umm... I don't actually know her na-"

"Sorry, my name is Molly," She interupted, giving a pink-lipped smile to us.

"She says she's a casting director for Macklemore, and that I'd be perfect for a role in their new music video," I said, nudging my mom. She stood dumbfounded. Clearly knowing my obsession for the duo.

"Skyler right?"

I just nodded, still half in a daze.

"Well miss Ashlyn, how about I give you my card, and we can talk later." Molly continued and handed me a small white business card, complete with website, email, and phone number. She waved as she scampered off, clearly pleased. I couldn't do anything but stare at my mom. I played with the smooth card in my fingers, looking over it with attentive eyes. Nothing too special about it, besides the opportunities it could hold.

"Uhh, let's go get lunch somewhere, and than we can go home and contact her I guess," my mom said skeptically, snatching the card from my hand and looking it over before putting it in her pocket. I gave my upmost puppy dog eyes, and I could see she was hoping it could happen. I knew she didn't listen to them on replay like I did, put she appreciated how Macklemore used his podium for good. She wouldn't buy me my posters though.

Please. Let this be real.
