Cher’s POV

I held on to my mic tightly and waited for Mr. Matthias to call my name. I couldn’t tell if I was more nervous or excited.

Harry and I had gotten the leads in the musical at Carter, not that that made our situation any easier because that just gave our classmates more fuel to make fun of Harry with. I was really proud of Harry for trying out at Willimpton too, because it was something he truly seemed to love.

“Next up is…Cher Lloyd!” I heard Mr. Matthias’ voice say.

I walked out onto the stage and looked into the crowd. I saw Harry sitting with Louis in the front row and he gave me a good luck thumbs-up.

Then I noticed her.

She slipped in the back and sat down in the back row, hoping no one would notice her.

But I did.

I saw her smile at me kindly and that’s when I got an idea.

I walked over to the kid working the background music and told him to go to track 6 instead of 1.

Jason Derulo’s In My Head started playing and I felt the music flow through me and I started moving my head and body to the beat. I started singing the words I knew by heart and never let my eyes leave Eleanor’s for more than a few seconds.

“Everybody’s looking for love. Oh. Oh. Ain’t that the reason you’re at this club. Oh. Oh. You ain’t gonna find a dance with him. No. Oh. Got a better solution for you girl. Oh. Oh.

Just leave with me now. Say the word and well go. I’ll be your teacher. Ill show you the ropes. You’ll see a side of love you've never known. I can see it going down, going down.

In my head, I see you all over me. In my head, you fulfill my fantasy. You’ll be screaming ohhhh. In my head, its going down. In my head, its going down. In my head. Yeah. In my head. Oh yeah.”

I continued giving my all for the rest of the song and when it was done, Harry and Louis stood up cheering for me loudly.

“Thank you, Cher. That was…impressive.” Mr. Matthias said with an approving nod.

“Thank you, sir.” I smiled and headed off the stage for the next person to go.

“And that concludes our female auditions! Let’s take a five minute break as the gentlemen prepare for their performances.” I could hear Mr. Matthias say from the stage.

I handed my mic off to one of the sound techs and found my way out into the hallway.

“Great job, Cher!”

I would recognize that voice anywhere.

It was like angels and Christmas bells.

I turned to smile at Eleanor. “Thank you.”

“That was a very interesting song choice.” Eleanor said, her eyes not leaving mine.

“Yeah, it’s one of my favorites.” I said, also not diverting my eyes.

Eleanor took a step towards me and opened her mouth to say something, but Louis and Harry came out of the auditorium.

“Congrats, Cher that was the best female audition by far!” Louis said grinning hugely at me.

“Yeah, awesome job, babe.” Harry said kissing my cheek. “But why did you change your song? You seemed really excited to sing the other one yesterday.”
