You and Me.

Chapter 2: The Beginning.

Shailene opened her eyes to the ringing of her alarm clock. As she grudgingly switched it off, she was reminded of the fact that today would be her audition for the role of Triss in Divergent. She gazed sleepily at her alarm clock. It was already 10am, two more hours before she would be due for her audition.

After ten more minutes of tossing and turning around in bed, she finally managed enough strength to pull herself out of it. She put on her big geeky glasses and headed to the bathroom to prepare for her day.

"ITS GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY! YAYYYYYY" she screamed to herself in front of the bathroom mirror. She would never forget the nerves of an audition. The fear of rejection mixed in with the anticipation that the role that has been hoping for would finally be hers. She had read Divergent ten times over and absolutely adore Triss character, being strong and determined in what she was doing, not forgetting the action scenes that she can get herself into. When the audition sign-ups was given to her, she did not hesitate a moment before putting her name down. She was contacted within two days with an audition date being set up.

Shailene got out of the shower, thoughts of the audition getting her more nervy than usual. She opened her closet and realized that she hadnt properly thought of what to wear, though she doesnt have much of a choice. 95% of her closet were made up of sweatshirts, tshirts, tank tops and jeans. She decided that for the role of Triss, since they were in a dystopian world with lots of fighting, a tank top with comfortable jeans would not go quite wrong.

When she finally settled down for breakfast, a text ringed onto her phone.

"Good luck for the big day!" Miles texted. Shailene smiled to herself and replied a "Thanks,". Miles had been like a brother since they filmed the movies, "The Spectacular Now", always encouraging her and pushing her on for what life has to offer.

At 12pm sharp, Shailene entered the audition room. She felt her heart in her mouth as her shaking fingers picked up the script of Triss.

"Hi Shailene," Neil, the producer smiled. "We have been looking forward to your audition, when you are ready."

Shailene took a deep breathe and looked through the script. Though this was sent to her prior to the audition, she felt the need to scan through it once more before she begin, she felt her breathing increase as she tried to slow her beating heart and stop her shakinng fingers. She closed her eyes, counted to ten and beamed a smile at the panel of judges, which includes Neil, the producer and Veronica, the author of the books. They smiled back and the back-up actor, a random stranger, motioned to Shailene, indicating her to move over and begin with the audition.

Two hours later, Shailene was out of the audition room.

"I've got the role!!!!!" she screamed at Miles, whom, much to her delight, was waiting for her outside.

Miles gave her a thumbs-up and ran forward to hug her.

"Congratulations," he said, "Now let's go grab some milkshake."

Shailene felt the nerves subsiding and taken over by sheer joy. After months of waiting, preparing and rehearsing, she finally got the role she had so badly wanted. A sinful cup of non-organice milkshake sounds wonderful at the moment.

"I wonder who's going to be casted as Four." Miles quipped as they both exited the studio.
