Shayne

I've hit an all time low. I struggle to get the nerve to get my sorry ass out of bed. This has been every damn day for the past two months. I lost my job. My girlfriend dumped me. There's not much to look forward to.

I literally fall out of bed when my phone rings. I look to see that it's Noah Grossman. We used to work together years ago, I'm surprised he still has my number. I pick up the phone to see what's up.

"Hey, Shayne. It's Noah we used to work together at Nickelodeon?" He says making sure I know who I'm talking to.

"Yeah I remember you. What's up? It's been a while." I answer rubbing my eyes.

"Well I don't expect you to say yes, but there's a job opening at this place called Smosh and I know that you're a funny guy..." He leads on.

"Go on..." I say getting intrigued.

"I was wondering if you'd come over here and maybe try auditioning and maybe we could work together just like old times." Noah says getting excited.

"Sure. I'll be down there in a little. Where do you want me to go?" I ask.

"I'll pick you up. What's your address?" Noah asks.

"2358 Arabella drive." I answer.

"Alright I'll be there in like an hour or so. See you then." He replies.

"I'll be here." I answer then hang up.

I quickly leap from the floor and run to the bathroom where I look in the mirror to see a frantic shell of a person looking back at me.

I had bags under my eyes, messed up hair, and a forest of a beard. I shaved making sure it was smooth and clean. I jumped in the shower and then changed putting on my blue bear shirt, my bright blue neff beanie, some dark jeans, and some black boots that made me taller slightly.

Satisfied at the way I looked I finished my look off with my key necklace and made my way to my kitchen to make some breakfast. I had about a half hour so I made some toast with honey and brown sugar the way I liked it. I also had a cup of black coffee figuring I'd need the energy for later today.

I put my dishes away and thought about what I'd do for an audition. I thought for a while and decided to go the easy way with some impressions like Christopher Walken or Nick Cage or Johnny Depp. Something I know I could nail.

After a while I sat down to do some research on Smosh. I remember that I used to watch them several years back. I didn't know that they were still a thing. I watched a few videos and I laughed more than I thought I would. They were consistent funny. That made me feel the pressure of getting an audition. I knew that I had the requirements and experience, but this was bigger than any role I had in Disney or Nick or anything else. I was nervous.

I heard a knock on my door. Knowing Noah was on the other side I quickly opened the door and there he stood a lot different from the last time I saw him.

"Hey Shayne. You ready?" He smiles.

"As ready as I'm gonna get, I guess." I shrugged still feeling nervous.

"Don't sweat it. You'll do great. And if you get in there may or may not be a girl that would totally like you." Noah comforted me putting his hand on my shoulder leading me to his car.

"You think?" I question wanting to know who he had in mind.

"I don't think I know." He replied confidently.

I thought that it was funny that Noah was so confident for not knowing about me for like eight years.

He drove us to where the Smosh HQ is. He said that the auditions were right inside and he already had told everyone about me coming and going to audition.

Noah said he had to get going, but he said to find him afterwards and give him the verdict.

He wished me luck and I was alone in the parking lot. The weather just warm enough to want to wear shorts, but not warm enough for me to want to put shorts on. Especially if I was going to be inside because then it wouldn't matter.

I walked inside the office building and made my way to where the performance of my life was going to be. I'd either do great or I'd royally fuck it up. Let's find out shall we.

I opened the door and there they were. Ian and Anthony were sitting at the long table discussing over some papers, probably other resumes. They both simultaneously looked up, sorta creepily, and saw me.

"Ohh you must be Shayne." Ian said coming over to shake my hand.

"Nice to meet you both. It's an honor to get to audition." I respond trying to sound as grateful as possible.

"Noah had told us that you two used to work together and wondered if you could get an audition. We said sure thing because we heard that you were good as a child star for Nick and Disney. We want you to work for us and after looking over your resume we think that your a great fit for the rest of our Smosh Squad." Anthony answers with a smile.

"Well thank you so much I promise I won't let you guys down." I answer with a huge grin on my face.

"We actually would like you to be the referee for our upcoming Smosh Summer Games." Ian explained.

"I'd love to." I respond.

"Before that we're gonna have you be apart of a new series that's called 'Every Blank Ever' so basically we take a topic and exploit every thing about it like the unreliability of Tinder and how the profile pictures are never the same as the actual person and stuff like that." Anthony explained.

"So as a test we'll have you have a few parts in 'Every Snapchat Ever' which we'll upload after Summer Games." Ian says handing me a script.

"We film in two days so take it easy and get to know everyone." Ian says shaking my hand then Anthony.

"Let me just say that this was the easiest audition ever." I say with a smile and I get a chuckle out of Ian.

"We figured that you're audition would be Summer Games. If you do well we'll keep you. Sound fair?" Anthony asks.

"More than fair." I answer before exiting and thanking them once again.

I had to find Noah and tell home the good news.

I searched the endless corridors trying to find him. I was about to give up when I heard his broken voice call for me inside a room.

"Shayne!"

I look around then see him in a small office with three other people that I figured would be the Smosh Squad.

"Shayne, this is the Smoffice. This is Keith, Olivia, and the beautiful Courtney." He says as I shake each of their hands introducing myself.

Then I get to Courtney and I'm stunned. She's the most gorgeous, beautiful, radiant, and just awe inspiring girl I've ever seen. Her eyes are like green lasers and her hair is some how always flawless even when it's supposed to be a mess.

"H-hi...I'm...Courtney..." she says looking me dead in the eyes.

"Hi Courtney....I'm Shayne..." I answer knowing that this is the girl that Noah was talking about. He was right. She was amazing. I can't put into words the feelings I get from her.

One thing I know for certain is that I can definitely get used to working with this thing of pure happiness, beauty, and love.
