Author note: I wrote this when I was 16, bear with me, I'm just getting grammatical errors, nothing else. Enjoy. 

"Please introduce yourself and talk a little about yourself." The cameraman said onto the megaphone as I stood still in front of the camera.

I smiled, the smile I had been practicing for so many years, and slightly bowed. "Hello, my name is Elizabeth Crown, I am 21 years old and I am half Canadian half Filipino."

The cameraman made a thumbs-up and smiled as he stopped the recording. "That was good. We'll start with the interview right after the introduction comes in, assistants will come in as you answer the Producer's questions, placing a chair and table. They'll place some tea on the table and..."

I smiled, knowing he wanted me to continue for him to make sure I had read the script beforehand. "I take a sip of the tea right after he is done asking about the type of model I can be, seem to think about it, and answer."

The cameraman smiled and quickly leaned into my ear and whispered. "You are doing great, I think you'll receive the position."

I smiled and bowed to him. "Thank you."

I went back to my position as he went back behind the camera. "One, two..." He mouthed three and the word 'go.'

The producer began speaking. "Elizabeth, what is it that you do currently?"

I smiled at him and then back at the camera. "I am a part-time waiter and a part-time model."

Two assistants came through my peripheral vision with a table as the producer spoke again. "What is it that you want to do Ms Crown?"

"I want to be able to dedicate my full time to modeling." Again I see two assistants coming from the other side with a chair and feel the chair being placed right behind me. 

"What stage name or nickname would you be referred to by the fans?"

"I wouldn't mind being called by my name but Lizzy is much easier and shorter." I smile at the camera and I see an assistant coming with the tea in hand and I sit down just as she sets it down. 

"What type of model," I took the tea in my hands and took a sip from it, "can you be when working for this company?"

I detached my lips from the cup and looked to my right, doing my best to look as if I was thinking. I looked at the camera. "Any type. I'll follow any concept the company wants. From cute and innocent to hot and mature, I'm up for anything." 

"Surprise question," My heart skipped a bit, but my face remained calm. " From these three groups, who would you work with? GOT7, DAY6, or 2PM?"

I had to think about it but I didn't want to take too much time to respond. I honestly didn't care, I just wanted the job. "GOT7 seems more my style." I chuckled. 

The cameraman nodded as he put a thumbs up and I saw the red light of the camera turn off. "That was perfect. I think we can use both first takes."

The producer walked up to me and flashed a warm smile as she extended her hand for me to take it. "That was good how you took the surprise question."

I took her hand and smiled. "I was taken aback, I have no idea how I didn't react badly to be completely honest." 

She placed her other hand on top of mine. "You still did very well. I'll put in a good word for you. You have been the best model so far." 

My smile widened. "Thank you, ma'am. You have my manager's card right?"

She nodded and shook my hand a little before letting go. "We have all your contact information, no need to worry." 

I bowed. "Thank you so much for today."

"No worries Ms Crown. We are done with this filming audition. We'll call you if you get the position."

I smiled and bowed once more as I grabbed my coat and bag, and headed out the studio door. My smile faded as I pulled out my phone and called my manager. "Hey Kasey.'

"Liz! My favorite model! How did it go?

I slightly tilted my head in annoyance at his nickname but decided to stay quiet about it. "It went well. We finished much earlier than predicted since everything was done in one take. Unless they do that with every participant and are trying to make them feel better about themselves."

"Think positive, Liz!" I bit my lip at the nickname again. "JYP is pretty big, meaning that promoting through that company will be big.

"Sure, Kasey." I went down the stairs, not wanting to take the elevator while on the phone. "Listen, I'll be heading to our usual cafe around seven, alright? I have to go do that photoshoot you scheduled for me."

"Hey take the day off! If the audition went that well and you are confident, you shouldn't overwork yourself."

"I have never overworked myself Kasey, plus, that audition was a piece of cake."

I heard him sigh. "If you say so. Please get some rest alright?"

I smiled. "Of course, don't worry. See you later at seven."

"For sure."

I hang up the phone quickly and see that I'm close to the exit/entrance. They wanted participants to come in and out of the exit, so fans standing outside wouldn't know about this new model concept they have going on. As I was gonna open the door someone else did for me. I waited for the person to come in. He... assuming it was a he, was wearing a black mask, sunglasses, and a beanie that covered his hair. 

"Oh, annyeong." Yup, that voice is a he, but it came out so muffled. He stood up from his bow.

I smiled and returned the bow. "Annyeong."

He tilted his head. Maybe he recognized my accent. "Model?"

I nodded. 

His head looked me up and down and he pulled up a thumbs up. "Pretty."

I smiled, while inside I rolled my eyes. "Thank you." I glanced at the door which he stood in front of. 

"Oh!" He quickly moved aside and opened the door for me. "Sorry, sorry."

I smiled at his slight accent. I waved my hands in the air. "It's alright." I bowed and walked past the stranger. 

"Miss?"

I turned back to him. "Hmm?" I smiled. Please just let me go or I'll be late for my shoot. 

He put a fist in the air and his sunglasses went up as if he was smiling. "Fighting!" 

I smiled and put my fist in the air and then turned back around to go about my way. 

Interesting... never had someone say to me 'Fighting!' instead of good luck.
