it's now a little after 10 and i start on my makeup. i only put on eyeshadow, mascara, concealer and lip glass. my mom walks into our room with an apple and hands it to me. "an apple a day keeps... going home away!" she says laughing. "thanks mom" i say laughing at her. since i still have a little over an hour. i decide to watch the first episode of boyband. all of them are so good. i wish cameron stayed, hes amazing. once the episode is over, my mom and i head downstairs to the car (the famous black car on boyband). i guess she can tell how nervous i am because she squeezes my hand for reassurance. we get to the venue in no time and get there 10 minutes early. "giuliana rissani, you can go into the first room to your right" a lady says holding a clipboard. "thank you" i say as i get up. i look back at my mom and she nods at me reassuringly and gives me a thumbs up. when i walk into the room, i shake everyones hands and introduce myself. there are five people, who i am assuming are the producers, sitting infront of me. "hi giuliana, you're 16, correct?" a lady asks. "yes" "how long have you been singing?" "as long as i can remember. my parents say 2. of course i didnt sound good. i started taking it seriously in the later years of elementary school so around 9 i would say." "are you used to performing?" "yes! i love it! i take part in school plays, community theater groups, i've sung the national anthem at local sporting events and i've been dancing competitively for around 9 years." "fantastic! two more questions before you sing. what grade are you going into?" "im going into my senior year." "and lastly what song are you singing?" "i'll be singing stone cold by demi lovato" "great we're ready when you are" i take a deep breath and start the song of strong.
"Don't wanna be stone cold, stone I wish I could mean this but here's my goodbye Oh, I'm happy for you Know that I am, even if I Can't understand If happy is her, if happy is her I'm happy for you" i sing, ending the song. i cant read their faces, i've never been good at that though. a few seconds after, they start applauding and relief rushes through my body. "wow. that was unbelievable." one of the men say. "your range is amazing. and you have such great control." the lady says. "thank you guys so much" i say. "expect to hear from us soon" the lady says. "thank you guys!" i say as i walk out. i run out to my mom and hug her so tight. "thank you! thank you! thank you!" i say. "you are so welcome baby. i'm assuming everything went well?" my mom asks. "yes very" i say. "can we get food? all of this stress is wearing me out." i ask "how about when we go to the hotel we get room service?" my mom says and i say yes.
the rest of the day consists of sleeping and talking to my bestfriend from back home. her name is maria. we're always together and this will be the first time since kindergarten that we've been away from eachother for a week. i tell her how i saw michael and a few other boys. she doesnt watch the show but she always listens when i talk about it. i also tell her about nicolette and my audition. when i finish talking to her, i reflect on the past couple of days. he would've been so happy. i scroll through my camera roll and decide to post on instagram.

@/giulianarissani : missing my partner in crime a little extra lately. ❤
my brother comments a few minutes after i post.
@/nickriss1 : love u jules. he would be so proud.
i'm so lucky to have such a caring kind brother. after a couple of minutes of looking at more pictures, i go to take a shower. by the time i get out, its 11:30 and i see that i have a text from michael. my brain still hasn't comprehended the fact that i have his number and that we've spoke for hours.
michael : hey jules howd your audition go? giuliana : good they said i should hear from them soon michael : thats great! i've still never heard you sing though. wanna end that? giuliana : only if u come to my room im a little lazy. i'll leave the door unlocked. michael : sounds good whats ur room #? guiliana : 617 michael : k be there in 2
holy shit i'm about to sing infront of michael. two weeks ago i would have never even thought of this happening. to get me out of my thoughts, michael comes through my door. "hey" he says opening his arms for a hug. "hey how are you?" i ask hugging him back. damn that boy gives some good hugs. "great can't wait to hear you sing" he says smirking. "funny. now what do you want me to sing?" i ask. "how bout your audition song?" he says and i nod. i only do the chorus of the song and when i finish, michael applauds. "wow that was really freaking good" he says stunned. "aw thanks" i say blushing looking down. "hey come here" he says patting the spot next to him. when i sit he puts his arm around me and rubs my arm. "you know you're going to make it right?" he says smiling. "i dont know i heard a ton of the other girls and theyre really freaking good. what if they said what they said to me to everyone?im like internally freaking the fuck out" i say nervously laughing. "you'll be fine you're amazing and you'll make it all the way to the end." he says. he's so sweet oh my. "also i would follow you on instagram and other stuff but we aren't allowed to until there's a top 30. when do you find that out?" he asks. "well we find out top fifty thursday morning then that night we are doing something for top 30 they didnt tell us what yet. then friday we have another meeting. i think they said we find out on saturday." "oh thats cool if they do everything fast maybe the episode will air next week. i'm excited to watch it. you're gonna do so great." "you're so sweet. you have to make the top 5. actually i know you will." i say. "i really hope i do. with jay. man that would be sick." "it would. i have faith in both of you." i could feel him smile since my head is resting on his shoulder. i reach for my macbook and search up boyband. even though i already was watching it this morning, which no one has to know about, i look at michael and turn on the first episode of boyband. i've been pissed because they only showed a few seconds of michael's audition. i start to doze off towards the end of the episode still in his arms. i haven't been this happy is so long.
