Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga: The Audition

Chapter Two

Today, I'm just chilling at my house trying not to stress about the audition. It's tomorrow and I'm so excited, but at the same time extremely nervous. I've been going over the script all week and I think I have it down. I also have to sing a song, but i'll be fine on that. Music is my thing, acting on the other hand doesn't come as naturally. I've been in some smaller roles throughout the years, but I've never been a leading role. I hope that I get chosen for this though. It would be such a cool experience.

As I wake up in my cozy bed the next morning, I immediately jump up. I see the time and realize that I slept in 2 hours late and the audition starts in an hour. I frantically begin to get ready. I throw my platinum blonde hair in a bun, and go to my closet. I search around for the right outfit and finally pull out some black ripped jeans and a purple blouse. After I finish getting dressed and do some sloppy makeup, I run out of the house and hop into my car.

I pull up to the place I'm auditioning at, and I start to feel very scared. I'm sure there will be so many great actresses here and to top that, Bradley Cooper will be watching me. I really hope I don't mess up. I check my phone for the time and it's 12:50. Ten minutes until my audition. I pull myself together and start to head inside. I walk through the doors, and sure enough, there are so many women here. Everyone is so different, but they all look very experienced. At that moment, I spot Bradley just as he sees me, and my knees go weak. My god he is so handsome, too bad he has a girlfriend. He shoots me a smile and begins to walk over to me.

"Hey! Glad you could make it." Bradley says as he gets over to me.

"Hi! Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity." I reply, trying to be as casual as possible. Just because I am 'famous' doesn't mean I don't get nervous around my idols.

"Well I've been wanting to do this movie for a long time, and I've always had my eye on you for this part." Bradley says.

"Me? Why?" I respond, obviously very shocked. I mean why wouldn't I be surprised. Why would Bradley Cooper want me to star in his movie?

"Well this movie is about a singer rising to fame and I've always loved your voice. It's so incredible and I thought you would fit the role." He replied, staring at me with his dreamy blue eyes.

"I- uh, thank you so much." I manage to sputter out. I can't believe he just said that. Never in a million years did I imagine that I would hear those words from Bradley Cooper.

"I'm just stating the facts Stefani. By the way, is it ok if I call you that?" Bradley asks.

"Of course. I go by Lady Gaga to all of my fans because I wanted to sort of reinvent myself to the world. I just felt like I would have been judged if they saw me how I've always been. If that makes sense. I still go by Stefani to my family and close friends though." I say, opening up to him a lot more than I have opened up to some of my closest friends. I don't know, something about him makes me feel good, better about myself maybe.

"I like that, you're very interesting, but in a good way. I think that if your fans would have judged you for who you are, then they would have been stupid. You are extremely talented and an amazing person." Bradley says to me.

"Yeah I guess. Though now that I've been Lady Gaga for years and years, I truly feel like I am Lady Gaga. She has become a part of me." I continue to tell Bradley.

"Yeah, it seems like you have so much more to tell, but right now we need to start the auditions. We can catch up more later, how about coffee after the auditions today?" He tells me.

"Okay sounds good. I want to hear more about you." I tell him, being honest. We've been talking about me so now I want to learn more about him and his story.

"Okay Stefani. See you in the audition." Bradley says and walks off.

Now that I've actually met Bradley and talked to him, I'm not as nervous. I didn't know what I was expecting, but he was a lot nicer than I though he was going to be. He didn't care how weird I was, he accepted me for me. I really hope I do good at the auditions because I would like to get to know him better.

Girls have come in and out of the room where the auditions are, and most of them are crying or not looking to happy. There are the occasional few that look fine, but this makes me start to focus even more. A couple more girls do their auditions and then I hear my name being called.

"Lady Gaga? We are ready for you."
