Dreaming of a Redhead

Rebel

Brooklyn's POV

I made it though the call back and now it was time for the chemistry read. I went over the scrip though my head over and over again. I paced back and forth while taking deep breaths. There were about five other girl's auditioning for Sophie and seven guys auditioning for Sky. I sat down in a chair and rested my face in my hands.

"Nervous?" someone next to me asked.

"You have no idea," I replied. "This has been what're you doing here?" I asked. Why, just why is he here. Seriously, it's like the world hates me.

"What do you think?" Sky asked. "I'm auditioning for....you know. I just didn't think you'd be here." Looks like Sky doesn't know me as well as I thought he did. I've told him a billion times that this is my dream show since I first saw it when it came out. It was my first role ever in theater and a lot of people say I look a lot like Amanda Seyfried. But I never thought so. That never stopped anyone from saying it though.

I'm going to act like that didn't sting.

Brooklyn get a hold of yourself! You aren't dating him anymore. So why should he remember something like that. He probably doesn't even remember the nickname he gave you.

"Fun Size" as annoying as it was I don't mind - stop. That's all in the past. You moved on a long time ago.

"Funny, I'm auditioning for Sophie," I replied casually. "As in my dream role since forever! But, it's not like you'd care anyways."

"So there's a chance that we'll be "in a relationship" eight times a week?!" Sky asked in shock.

"A small chance Mr.Flaherty," I replied coldly. "There are a lot of other people here and you and I may not even be in the show together."

"But still, you're like the perfect Sophie!"

"Wish I could say you're the perfect Sky," I said. "And not the Mamma Mia Sky. Nope. But Sky Flaherty."

"I happen to think I'm fine just the way I am," Sky replied firmly while looking me dead in the eyes.

"You feel into the orchestra pit twice! You forgot your lines who knows how many times! Oh, and let's not forgot you're a two timing pig!"

"You're no saint either!" Sky yelled. "If I remember correctly, you rolled your eyes so many damn times I thought you would fine a brain back there!"

"At least I graduate all four years of collage. And early I might add!" I yelled back.

"Hey! I've got a year of collage under my belt!"

"What belt?" I retorted. "You could barley keep your spenders on!"

"Shows how much you pay attention! I never wore spenders!"

"Shows how smart you are cause you did as a scab!"

"Brooklyn Masson and Sky Flaherty you're up!" someone yelled. Sky and I looked at each other before getting up. We boy tried to push it way thought the narrow door. When we got in ....Well, this is going to be the worst twenty minutes of my life.

"Ok, so just to double check, you were both in Newsies on Tour, correct?"

"Yes," Sky and I both replied with a small nod.

"You two are dating-"

"Dated," I corrected. "We used to date," I replied quietly.

"Well since this is a chemistry test you two will have to push those feelings aside and find that love and passion for this to work. There are two different scenes, one being a fight and the other will be where you two will have to kiss. And the duet you'll have to do and we would like to see how some dancing. Just a few steps will be good. Let's start with the fight scene because I can see that Miss Masson has it out for you Me.Flaherty. You two may start when ready."
