Demi Has Dynamite

Chapter One

Why am I even doing this, why did I let them convince me to do this. I am going to make a major fool of myself. I will become the laughing stock. I start pacing back and forth once again in the holding room where lots of others are waiting. I should probably tell you who I am and what is going on my name is Blaire Summer Storme I am 14 almost 15 I live in America and well I am auditioning for the x-factor today I’m not a very good singer some of my friends convinced me I’ll get into that later. I stop pacing once I hear my number called out I walk over to where the person with a clipboard is standing. I start singing the lyrics over in my head just to make sure I have them in my memory

“Right this way Blaire there are just 2 people in front of you at the moment. Good luck with your audition” he says I can’t really talk I nod and give a small smile. There is a mirror on one of the walls I look at myself I am wearing an oversized cream knitted jumper that goes about an inch above my knees with a pair of black tights and knee high boots. My light brown wavy hair falls around my face and down my back about an inch below my shoulders I look at the bit I hate most actually my face my eyes are a dull grey blue they are really big my nose is small my left eye is droopy. I dig my nails into the palm of my hands as a way of trying to calm myself down a bit bring myself back to the reality.

It is my turn next the person before me is well not very good it actually hurts my ears the judge finally make him stop they Simon is really mean yet funny, Kelly is sassy, LJ is well I’m not sure he didn’t say much and Demi tries to let him down nice. I feel my hands start to shake a little more. The guy walks past me he seems really angry he smashes into my shoulder as he walks past me causing me to stumble back.

“Ok you’re up next good luck.” Another person says to me I step out and walk to the X mark on the ground.

“Hi Sweetheart what’s your Name?” I hear L A  say I hold the microphone up to my mouth with one hand and dig my nails into my palm again with my other to try and calm my nerves I look up a little but not making eye contact with them

“My names Blaire sir” I say I my voice lacking confidence majorly I wanted to come out here with some confidence

“And how old are you” I hear Simon ask me

“I’m 14 sir” I say I say trying to add confidence to what I am saying. He smiles a little when I say sir I think he isn’t used to teenagers with manners

“What grade are you in at school then Blaire” he ask oh great here we go

“I umm kind of don’t attend School sir” I say feeling stupid

“Can you tell us the story behind that and you don’t have to call me Sir Blaire even though your respect is refreshing” Simon says I feel tears fill my eyes but blink them back not wanting to look like a sook everything in my head screams no but it is like word vomit it comes out.

“I ummm well I had a really bad time at school with Bullies and I was struggling to keep up with the work, it go too much so I dropped out and started working last year.” I tell them, that isn’t the only reason I dropped out but I don’t and won’t go into that now or hopefully ever.

“I’m sorry to hear that, so who are you here with today Blaire?”

“I’m here by myself” I say no one could or would come with me not that I really have anyone anyway.

“Ok well what are you going to sing for us today?” he ask gah so many questions I just want to sing and get this over with.

“I’ll be singing Just a Dream by Carrie Underwood sir” I say he nods and it goes silent for a few seconds I look at each of them Simon looks indifferent maybe a bit bored, Kelly and L.J look on waiting and demi she well looks like she is trying to read me and looks a little sad.
