SECRETS - DIZA ONESHOTS

3.ACT

Liza's POV

"Elizabeth Koshy!"

I hear my name and stand up. I look around and see about hundreds of other girls, waiting for their turn to audition. I start to get nervous and my palms are sweaty. Breath Liza, you can do this. You are born to do this. Just go out there and show them what you've got. I step in the room and see about five people sitting at a table with some files and paper. A camera man is behind them.

"Hi!" I give them a small wave. My voice sounds a bit shaky when I see their serious faces. Be professional, pull yourself together!

I stand in my spot. Finally someone speaks up:

"Hi! What's your name and how old are you, sweetie?" A lady who seems pretty nice asks me. I suddenly feel less nervous.

"Uhm. I'm Elizabeth Koshy. You can also call me Liza and I'm 17"

"Ok, whenever you ready"

I nod and I see the camera man signals me to start with a thumb up. I start to act, saying my lines. I try my best because this has always been my dream role.

"Ok thank so much!" A guy at the table tells me to stop when I'm almost done with all my lines. What does that mean? Do they want me?

"Do you need me to play the other way or..."

"No, that's all we need. Thank you so much"

"Oh, ok! Bye!" I walk out with a friendly smile.

2 months later

I'm laying in my bed when my phone rings. Can that be the people from the audition?

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this... Elizabeth Koshy?"

"Yesss, yesss that's me!!!" I say excitedly

"Oh well, congratulations! You are in our final 3. Audition is tomorrow, you will have a male partner this time. Hope we'll see you at 4PM"

"Of course yeah! Ok thank you so much for letting me know. I'll be there, yeah. yeah ok see you"

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! OK sorry that was a bit obnoxious, BUT I'M IN THE FINAL 3! I'll tell my parents. I call my mom, she's on a business trip with my dad and she picks up almost immediately:

"Mom! Mom, I'm in the final three!"

"Really! Oh congratulation honey. Dad and I are so proud of you!"

I can hear my dad from behind her

"Oh, Liza is in the final. That's no surprise! My little girl is so talented!" 

"Dad, stop!" I giggle

"Ok honey, Dad and I are going to attend a meeting now. We'll see you in three days, aye?!"

"Yeah, ok. I love you so much"

"We love you even more, Liza! See you"

They end the call and I put my phone down. I flop on my bed and just stare at the ceiling. I'm a bit sad my parents are not here right now. Sometimes I feel really lonely, mostly because they are often busy with their work and have to travel out of LA.

Anyway, I really need to prepare for tomorrow.

"Elizabeth Koshy" A lady walk out of a room to call my name

I stand up and this time when I look around to see nobody in the hall way. It feel so weird they picked me and two other girls out of hundreds of girls in the state.
