'Call me when you want to get picked up' my mum said, a soft smile on her face.
I nodded lightly, my eyes fixated on the script, I barely even heard what my mum said.
'Y/N, Y/N!' she exclaimed, shouting for my undivided attention.
'Yeah, no, sorry- i'll call you when i'm ready' I whispered, my breath trembling.
'Y/N, don't get nervous, this is a fun experience whether you get the part or not, you get to meet new people and go to different places for these auditions, take it all in.' mum reassured.She gently placed her hand atop of mine, calming me down and stopping my hands from shaking. I smiled at her and jumped out of the car and thanked her for the advice.
This was it, the audition for Number 8 on my favourite show The Umbrella Academy. I dreamed of being on this show after seeing the first episode, in awe of the talented actors and actresses. I wasn't an inexperienced actress but you could say i was more than just a 'beginner'. 2 years ago, I was on Disney, sometimes as an extra with only 2 or 3 lines per episode or (in another show) I'd be the friend of a main character; they gave me plenty of lines and a good amount of time in front of the camera. This was my first time trying out for a main role tho, and my nerves were getting to me.
I stepped into the large building, a small woman with glasses that sat uncomfortably on her nose as the receptionist.
'Hi, what can i do for you?' she asked in a kind and soft voice.
'I-I'm here for the Number 8 auditions for the Umbrella Academy' I stuttered.
Jesus, what the hell is going on, spit it out Y/N.
'Okay, it's just on your right, you're a bit early; in fact you're the first one here so make yourself comfortable and feel free to talk to the younger cast.' she replied, gesturing her hand to your right.
I nodded in gratitude.
Bish what the hell, no one fricking said that the younger cast was gonna be here. Damn, i'm boutta see everyone- Cameron, Ethan, Blake, Eden, Cupid and Dante.
I sighed heavily, I felt the waves of embarrassment ready to attack me, making me seem like a complete idiot; more than i already am.
I walked into the corridor, chairs lined up against the walls and a door on the other end of a corridor. I squinted and saw Gerard Way through the window, he saw me and waved, I smiled back.
Just as I was about to sit down and play aquapark.io, (yoooo i'm obsessed with that game, apparently everyone else are just bots and it's easy to win but anyways) I heard a crowd of teenagers walk into the corridor.
Oh my Christ
Jeez
Oh my days
Help help
I was about to start your third panic attack of the day until I heard a familiar voice.
'Hey are you trying out for Number 8?' a boy with curly hair and green eyes said.
I sat there speechless for a hot minute until I remembered they asked a question, and I also remembered I had to answer questions... with actual words.
'Oh yeah sorry, i just fangirled for a bit then came back to reality, and yes, I'm trying out for Number 8' I confidently said.
They smiled at me and laughed.
oh my days they just smiled and laughed.
They all sat around me, Eden on my left and Blake on my right, everyone else just sat on the floor to make a circle.
'Hey, do i recognise you from somewhere?' a boy with dark straight hair asked me. I knew instantly who it was, that jawline was recognisable miles away.
'Yeah actually, i was an extra on NRDD for a few episodes.'
(if you don't know what NRDD is, you need to go back 3 years from now, sit your ass down and watch it, it's Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn. Aidan was a main role)
'Oh yeah i remember now.' he said, he smiled at me and from that, a blush tint unexpectedly sprouted to my cheeks.
After that we just talked, more and more people started flooding into the corridor- all of them trying out for the role of 8. As time passed, they still sat with me and we ended up talking about loads of random and personal stuff. We talked about our favourite episodes of tua, they giggled about bloopers and behind the scenes, and all throughout the conversation, we all casually made fun of their catchphrases in the show.
'Guns are for sissies, real men throw knives' i mocked Blake, making a funny face after saying his catchphrase.
'Oof, you really did me dirty there' he laughed and playfully nudged me on my shoulder.
About 10 more minutes passed until the producer Gerard Way walked into the corridor. He talked about how these auditions would go and how long it would approximately take, he then proceeded to call the first name up to audition.
Lord, if you really loved me, my name wouldn't be called first
'Okayy, now onto the auditions. Can i have y/n l/n up first?'
You smiled, this was the first wave of bad luck in the day. You stood up, looking at the group in front of you.
'y/n you'll do amazing' Tj said
'i've seen you act, this is a walk in the park' Aidan claimed.
'come on gurl you can do this' Dante, Blake, Cameron and Ethan cheered.
Eden held your hand and smiled at you, she pulled you into a hug and wished you good luck. you felt easier in a way, less nervous because of them.
You followed the producer into the room at the end of the corridor, clutching your script in your hand.
Let's get this bread~~~~~~~~~~
