MALLORY'S P.O.V.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP" The alarm sounds, all ready awake and ready. I just don't get why alarms are so annoying, Beethoven would be nice. The thought of auditioning for a sketch comedy show is just SO amazing! Even though I'm extremely nervous, there's probably going to be no one trying out anyways. I turn off my alarm and go head out to my car driving away to BYU Broadcasting. I get there and there's dozens of cars! Well maybe some are here for different reasons, I try reassuring myself. I see the huge sign "Auditions this way". I start walking, paying no attention except to the huge ceiling and large halls. 

"Oh I'm so sorry!" I hear a man say to me as he bumps into me and all my stuff tumbles to the ground. 

"No no it's ok I should of been paying more attention" I attempt to pick my stuff up before he does for me. 

He goes rushing off into the distance as I keep going following the signs for auditions. I get to the doors to get ready. As I walk in I see hundreds of people inside. Oh no. I'm officially doomed. I start getting extremely nervous coming inside to the groups of people talking to each other as if they know everyone. I'm again the one with no friends, I think to myself trying to find a seat. I finally find an open one and sit there.

All the sudden I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Hey Whitney, hey Stephen!"

"Hey Mal, so you decided to show up!"

"Yeah, I just thought, why not and there's no harm to trying."

"True!" Stephen budded in.

"Well we've gotta go sit down but it was nice seeing you again Mal! We'll have to get together sometime on campus!" Whitney smiles and grabs Stephens hand as a sign to leave.

At least I know I know someone here. There's a loud screech over the speakers.

"Hullo everyone!" Says the man on stage, "Welcome to the auditions for the Common Room!"

 Hey, he's the one who ran into me today! That name is just so not catchy for a comedy group.

"I'm Matt Meese, and next to me is Jared Shores, I am much more awesome then him by the way." Matt cutely laughs with Jared, "If your last name starts with A-M go to the right big doors with me, vise versa for N-Z with Jared. So yeah, separate all you people."

Going off to the right doors I see Whitney and Stephen. I squeeze through the people to get to the couple. 

"Hey guys, are you nervous?" I catch up to them.

"Um, yeah..." Stephen and Whitney laugh.

We enter through the big doors and theres a whole other area that's a little smaller.

"Ok everyone, it's ok to get close," Matt stops us, "This is where live events will take place, aka Studio C. Is everyone ready to show me all your skits and writings you've made?!" 

"Yeah!" The crowd says in sync.

"Ok then, let's get started!" He claps his hands and sits, "You can all take a seat in the stands before your name get called up. There will be 10 people I'll choose to go to the 2nd audition to be part of the group. In the end there will be nine more people in all. So good luck to everyone!."

No, not nerve racking at all, only 10 of us will go through. What if I don't make it, what will I do?! But what if I do make it? What if I'm not good enough though?

One hour later they get to late E's. I hear my name get called "Mallory Everton." I go tumbling down the stairs probably being pretty obvious I'm freaked out. Then of course, I trip. 

"Are you ok?" Matt helps me up.

"Yup." 

"Ok, you can start now" He goes back to his seat.

Deep breaths Mal deep breaths. I get up on the small area used as a stage and start reciting my "monologue." I finish in a time of 3 minutes, Matt comes over to me. "That was so amazing!" 

"Thanks, yeah It was ok, I guess, maybe, I don't know." Stumbling over my words I had him the sketch I wrote "Captain Literally". It took a while to write but I think it turned out ok.

"This is what I wrote, it's called Captain Literally. I know we didn't have to write something but just in case, I wrote this." I blush.

"Looks great! Can't wait to read it!" He replies with the kind of smile that could pick a girl right off her feet. Wait, was I starting to like this dude but he- 

"I'll call tonight if you make it! Honestly, you did great, by the way sorry for running into you earlier," He goes back to his seat and I leave grabbing my stuff off my seat.

"Good luck guys!" I leave Whiteney and Stephen with a smile and a wave.

"Thanks Mal!"
