He's my Boyfriend, Peter Parker

CHAPTER 18

I’m at school assembly sitting by myself listening to the boring announcements and awards. Peter got the Science award, of course. I sit through more bullshit until one of the announcements catches my attention.

“The school will be holding a dance and singing competition, if you want to be part you must audition, the auditions will take place Tuesday on the stage. This year’s theme is Musical’s, it could be a musical scene in a movie or anything else you have in mind that is related. There will be at least one main character. You have to audition to the main character separately.

Once you pass the auditions you will be split into four groups and they will compete against each other.   

We are planning to make this years competition bigger and better so the performance will take place at Webster Halls.” Announced our principal

I’m definitely auditioning for this

I spot Natalie and Chloe with Zach walking towards me.

“Hey Guys! Are you guys gonna audition for the competition?” I say excitedly

“No not this year, I’m going to take a break.” Answers Chloe

Natalie nods agreeing with her. They have been in these competitions ever since it started, I just never joined.

“Are YOU going to audition?” asks Zach snickering

I squint at him while rolling my eyes

“Yes I am, I’m going to go for it. The main character.” I say confidently

“MAIN CHARACTER!? Go Gwen!!” Says Chloe happily while jumping up and down

“What suddenly makes you want to try?” Asks Natalie

“I dunno, maybe to prove something? It just sounds appealing.” I say while opening the door to the cafeteria.

-TUESDAY-

 I make my way to the stage wearing my sport shorts, Nike and sports crop top with a jacket over. I look around me, everyone is talking to at least one person, every one has a group to hang out in. Then there is me, all alone.

“Oh my god! I have to be at least ONE of the mains, I’m gonna be sooooo freaking mad if I don’t.”

I hear someone say in a bitchy voice, I turn my head to the side and see Melissa walking onto the stage.

Well that brings my competitive spirit

Melissa catches me looking at her, she scrunches sup her face while looking at me up and down.

“What the fuck is she doing here?” she whispers to her friends loud enough for me to hear

I frown and look away

Game on bitch

 Our dance teacher Ms Smith walks to the front of the stage facing us, she smiles. Ms Smith is the youngest teacher in our school she just got married two months ago.

 “Ladies as you know, today it is the auditions. I will be strict on each of you; I want to see the best of you. So what going to happen is I’m going to teach you a choreography I have created, you will simply follow and memorise and I will asses you individually.” She says clearly

 She tells everyone to make rows of three, i get pushed to the back row by some girls.

“Girl’s at the back will also get a chance to go to the front.” She says quickly looking at me

I give Ms Smith a quick smile

“Okay, we are going to dance to the song Black and Gold.” She says

Some girls whispers to each other, I just stand there looking around like an Idiot.

Ms Smith stands in front of us and started teaching us the first minute of choreography to the song.

“Alright, now everyone try without me guiding you.” she says smiling

I get ready and take a deep breath, music blast through the speakers.

Let’s do this!

 I concentrate so hard trying to not make any mistakes; I let the beat take over my body.

♫ 'Cause if you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
That it's all just a bunch of matter
'Cause if you're not really there
Then I don't wanna be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold ♫

The music stops

“Good job girls! You are all better than I expected, now I want the girls in the back row to move to the front row.” Says Ms Smith enthusiastically

Melissa knocks me on my shoulder as I walk to the front "Watch it mate." she scold

, Ms Smith plays the music again.

-10 MINUTES LATER-

 “Thank you for trying out today, you just need to do the singing auditions. They are healed after lunch on the stage, Ms Hanson and I will be assessing you. Your names will be out on the notice board in order form who goes first to last, so Melissa you’re up first.” Ms Smith says
