Rise to Fame (A One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

Skylar's POV

"Skylar Greene?" Someone called my name.

I looked up and saw Kyle smiling at me.

"You ready for your audition?"

I started fidgeting with my hands and slowly nodded yes.

"Good," he said. "If you walk up those steps and through the curtains, there will be a lady and she will hand you a microphone. Take it and then walk to the center of the stage and stand on the big X. The judges will ask you your name and some questions to know a little bit about you and then they'll ask you to sing. Remember: the judges aren't as scary as they look. Go out there and have the time of your life."

I got up and followed Kyle's instructions. As soon as I walked through the curtains, a lady stood there smiling with a microphone in her hand.

"Hello! I'm Kayla! Here's your microphone. You will go stand on that X in the middle of the stage as soon as the act that's on right now is done."

I smiled and said thanks before watching the audition before me. It was a girl band. Three 11 years old girls attempting to do harmony isn't what the judges are looking for. The audience is laughing. I can't help but feel bad for those girls.

Once all of the judges say no, the girls run off the stage crying. That's when the nerves got to me. Yeah, I was nervous when I got here, but am I really about to go up on that stage and audition? What happens if they say yes? Will I know what I'm doing? I'm only fourteen.

My thoughts were interrupted by Kayla saying, "5...4...3...2...1!" And pushed me out on the stage.

I walked to the X on center stage. And saw Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, Britney Spears, and Cheryl Cole in front of me. Well, I guess I'll be performing in front of two British judges and two American ones. I'll see which country likes me best!

"Hello, darling! What's your name?" Simon asked me.

"Skylar Greene." I said shyly.

"Skylar! Love the name," Britney said.

"Thank you!"

"How old are you, Skylar?" Demi asked me.

"I'll be turning fifteen in two weeks." I said.

Cheryl smiled at me and said, "How long have you wanted to be a professional singer?"

I knew a question like this would come. I just had to act confident and be honest.

"I've loved music for as long as I can remember. I love writing my own songs on my guitar and singing in my room whenever I have the time to do that." I smiled.

"Alright, love. Whenever you're ready, you may begin." Simon said.

That's when the music began. At first, it was a song I don't know the music to, but I soon realized what it was: Brokenhearted by Karmin.

I know what you're thinking: But,Sky! That wasn't one of your options when you came to the audition!

That's what I thought, too. I guess my parents just wanted to use the other songs as warm ups? I'm not sure.

The music starts and I start to sing:

This is more than the typical kinda thing

Felt the jones in my bones when you were touching me, uh oh

Didn't wanna take it slow

In a daze, going crazy, I can barely think

You're replaying in my brain, find it hard to sleep, uh oh
