Should I choose Him?

Ch.7: Canna or Jeral?

Today is the auditions for the play, We chose "Emma" as our title. Jenna taunted me a lot today but I didn't care one bit. I wanted to beat Jenna! I might not know for sure if she liked me or not but as much as I could see we were somewhat enemies. I got a message from a random number, it said that someone was joining the play because they liked me. I asked Jenna who it was but she had no clue. I asked Hazel, Willow, Drake, and basically everyone there and no one knew then a boy walked in the door. He was one of the only boys we've ever had in a play but he didn't look familiar. After a lot of thinking I figured that after auditions I could get to know him better. The auditions were beginning and Willow, Hazel, Drake, and I were getting nervous. I was relieved when the first name chosen was Bunny. Bunny used to be my friend and I was excited to see her audition. She walked up and sang "Jar of Hearts" and it went well! Ten other kids went up then Hazel was called. Hazel sat there silent and weeped. The advisor walked over and asked her what the problem was and Hazel didn't want to do it in front of the crowd. The advisor picked Hazel up and took her to a practice room to sing privately. While that happened I moved over towards Jenna but Willow stopped me. She asked me if I believed the rumors about Delia joining the play. I didn't see Delia waiting to try out so I didn't really care but basically the story is that Delia had been talking behind Willow's back and fat-shamed her too so Willow doesn't want Delia auditioning at all. This really got to Willow's head. Willow is over it now but still has a big grudge against Delia. It was sad and I told Willow that it wouldn't matter because she'd probably be very untalented and not make it. Willow tried to respond but Hazel walked out and looked very pleased with herself.

When Hazel walked out with that smile I knew I was in trouble because that meant she may of done really good! I thought I should cry too but I'm not a dramatic wimp like Hazel can be. The advisor then called Jenna! I almost screeched at that news because I wanted Jenna to mess up. Jenna stood in front and belted out "Don't Rain On My Parade" like the very delusional "Rachel Berry" She was. I meant to congratulate her on her amazing singing and acting but I couldn't do that... I wanted to seem better than her. Delia rushed into the room dramatically panting and was instructed to take a seat. This stressed Willow out even more as we were nearing the end of auditions yet Delia showed up. Delia sat next to me trying to be friendly but I ignored it as I was up soon to audition and I was worried. More and more names were called and it was narrowed down to five people. Me, Willow, Delia, and mystery boy, and a senior named Sydney. I was hoping I wasn't last or first to perform at the final five of us. The advisor, Mrs. Sylie opened her mouth to say Delia's name. Delia stood up with so much confidence. She looked super intimidating. She walked up and sang "Hallelujah". It wasn't terrible but I didn't think it was play worthy though. Willow snickered and seemed to think she could do better. I thought I had a shot still because Delia, Jenna and I wanted the same part but I believed I could do a better singing and acting job then those two. The advisor shooshed everyone and proceeded to read another name. The name was Logan. He was the mystery boy. Logan stood and giggled a lot while he tried to sing the music scale because he didn't care about his part and he knew he'd still get one. The weirdest part was he stared at me a lot. I knew he was the mystery number but I could never get with him, not my type at all. He was bad I whispered to Willow but she was frozen. I was thinking as Mrs. Sylie called Willow's name. Willow stood and walked to the hot spot. She was singing some spirits song but I wasn't listening because I was shaking with fear now. I was so cocky about thinking I'd be good but I wouldn't be if I was last! If I'm last that means everyone would watch me because I needed to be the 'finale' and this made me queezy and I was quivering. That's when I heard it. I heard my name called before Sydney's! I stood and told Mrs. Sylue my song. The song I was singingwas "Drive" by Halsey. I sang it and thought I sounded wonderful and I acted out the part I wanted, Ashli. I thought that went well too. All my friends felt the same way. We were all so supportive of each other and I loved that so much! Finally Sydney was called and she sang Adele's "Turning Tables" and acted for the lead role, Emma. I was so confident though that I did the best out of my friends and even alittle better than Jenna! I knew Ashli was mine! I know it sounds petty but oh well, I know I'm petty, everyone is sometimes!
