Moon to Earth, hello ?

The Audition

High school was the worst years of my life. I wasn't bullied or anything, but people talk. You know how teenagers are. I was often alone. Some people were nice to me, some students, but mostly teachers who I really liked too. I'm sure you're wondering : but you must have had at least one friend, right? Well, I did. I had a best friend. We'd known each other for years, he was like a brother to me. But when high school came... Like I said. You know how teenagers are. They can be really cruel sometimes. A lot of times actually. And it was too much for him. 

Since then, I haven't been able to trust anyone. Not even myself. Losing him was the hardest thing that ever happened to me. After that, I went through a really dark phase. I even thought about joining him once, but I know that's not what he would have wanted. So I did my best to get out of school as soon as possible, and when I finally graduated, I moved miles away from home and started a new life. I went to college to study literature and modern languages, and that was the best choice I ever made.

Now my life is a lot better. I have friends, really good friends, I love my studies and I have hobbies, which I never had before. I still feel really bad sometimes, but I'm working on it. Actually, I'm challenging myself today. It's the fifth anniversary of his death, and instead of being depressed all day long, I'm going to audition for a music video. But not any music video : Nick Morgan's. He's a famous singer and songwriter, he plays the guitar, and, he is really, really, REALLY handsome. I had a crush on him at some point, but not anymore. Ok, maybe a little? Anyways... You know those hobbys I was talking about earlier ? Well... one of them is dancing. I joined the university's dance studio when I arrived here, and I'm not the best dancer, but everyone pushed me to do this audition when they heard about it. Not necessarily to be chosen for the video, but for myself, as a challenge (and to finally meet Nick Morgan AHEM). 

The audition takes place in our studios in two days time. Luckily I'm in the last group and thanks to my name, I'll hopefully be one of the very last people to audition, so I have way more time to prepare. I arrive a bit early to get ready and stretch peacefully, but the hallways are already full of dancers. Suddenly, I hear a familiar voice. I follow it, and find my favorite dance partner.

- Adam? What are you doing here?!, I said, hugging him.

- It's nice to see you too. I came to help you.

- Help me ? I don't think I need you for this, Adam. It's a solo audition.

- Trust me darling, you need me. Firstly, I saved you this spot, so sit and start stretching.

- Okay, I said suspiciously, as I sat. Secondly ? 

- Well, as I was waiting for you, I talked to some people and gathered some information. So the song is about this couple, they want to be together but the girl is not in a right place at the moment, she's broken and she thinks she's not good enough for him, but the guy wants to be there for her, and there's this attraction between them they can't deny.

- Intense.. Okay, what else?

- Okay, I know I shouldn't bring your hopes up, but apparently Nick hasn't found the right girl yet. So there's a big chance that girl is here, right now. And yes, I mean YOU.

- Stop right there. You know there's like a hundred girls auditioning this afternoon, so chances are still pretty low. And where did you get all this information anyway ?

- Nick's assistant. He's real cute BTW. 

- Yeah, I know. That's why I had a crush on him dummy.

- I was talking about this assistant... But yeah Nick's cute too, I guess, he said as I laughed. 

- Oh my god, you never lose a chance, do you ?
