'BEEP- BEEP-' I woke up to my alarm clock beeping loudly. I groan quietly, as I shut it off. I'm auditioning for a role in Stranger Things. I think it's for Dustin's love interest. I dunno.

Anywho, let's get back to the story. I hop out of bed, and change into this.

I quickly practice my lines in the mirror

I quickly practice my lines in the mirror. "I don't care, Joel!" I exclaim loudly, as I look at myself in the mirror. Joel is my character's abusive older brother. Kinda like Max's brother, Billy. Anyways.. I bound towards my mom's room, and knock. She opens her door, already dressed. "You ready?"

I nod, as she walks out to her car, and gets in. "Get in, Y/N." She pats the passenger seat, and smiled as I get in the car. God, was I nervous. Stranger Things is my favourite TV show, and I've been waiting for this audition, for like.. about two months.

Time skip.

About three hours later, my mom pulls up to the audition place. I inhale, and then exhale. While gripping my phone, I get out of the car, and walk into the building. Oh god.. there were so many people there. Someone directs me to a room to say my lines.
(Sidenote: I dunno what the hell auditions are like lmao.)

"My name is Y/N. I'm 15 years old, and I'm auditioning for the role of Cynthia.." I bit my lip slightly, and read the script. "I don't give a shit, Joel. They're my friends, and you can't change that." They nod. "Read line 295." They tell me. I skip to that line and inhale.

"Listen, Mom.. I'm sorry, okay?! What else do you me to do?" I exclaim, and do a confused facial expression. They nod. "Alright.. Go wait outside." He tells me. I excitedly walk outside, and smile nervously.

Word count: 316.
