Way To Fame

Chapter Three

Its been four days since Zayn and Ariana has seen or communicated with each other. Ariana decides not to apologize for the she false accusations she made towards Zayn. Her blood still boils at the thought of Zayn with the blonde that sat on his lap at the bowling alley.

Zayn was Ariana's best friend since second grade. Everytime they found theirselves in an altercation, he was the first to apologize. But now he hasnt even said a simple hello to her. A good night. A good morning. That made Ariana fume even more with anger.

She lays in bed with her hands covering her forehead. A loud groan escapes her mouth as she picks up her phone and begins dialing Zayn's number.

She listens to the amount of rings. Three.

Ariana becomes worried that her best friend of 8 years no longer wants anything to do with her, until ..

"Hello?" he answers.

"Im sorry. I didnt mean to wrongfully accuse you of being pessimistic towards me. If anything, youre the only person who has been supporting of my future and .. I dont know, I was just being stupid." she says with despair.

"Please, dont be sorry. I kind of had that coming. You are a fire cracker stuck inside of a sweet innocent girls body." he replies and they both chuckle.

"Lets not ever get into a feud again, okay?"

"Youre the one who made it seem like it had to start a feud. Maybe you should stop taking things the wrong way and hear people out for once." he retorted.

Ariana scoffs at his comment, but then understands where he is coming from.

"Youre right, I'll finally listen to you for once." Ariana says mockingly, causing Zayn to chuckle.

"Love you Ari."

"Love you Zany."

Ariana is about to hang up.

"Wait! I forgot to tell you, I was at the ice cream shop and I felt bad for practically turning your dreams down the other day. So, I saw this poster on the wall that said there would be auditions at the Lauderdale Theatre tomorrow morning and I signed you up for it.." he says. His voice is now hesitant.

Those words made Ariana furious. An invisible bomb went off in her head.

"YOU DID WHAT?!" she screamed into the phone. Zayn pulled the phone from his ears with his eyes closed shut.

"I felt bad Ari. I didnt want you to think I completely gave up on you."

"But you signed me up for a major broadway production without my permission!" she shouts.

"This could be good for you. You can prove to your mom that you can make it in the entertainment business. All youve ever talked about was proving her wrong, nows the chance." he speaks.

Ariana pauses. She processes what Zayn just said. He was right and she knew it. This was her chance to show her mom that her dreams can come true. For years Ariana has wanted to do this and now she finally gets the chance to. The chance to be famous.

"You are the greatest best friend ever." she says into the phone with a smile sneaking on her face.

"Alright Ariana, are you ready for this audition?" Colleen says.

"Yes, I am ready." Ariana replies with an unsure tone.

"No Ari, more confidence!"

"Yes, I am ready!"

"Great. Shall we get started." Colleen speaks. Ariana nods her head.
