*Ringing tone*

"Hello?"

"Hi El!"

"Why are you calling so late Eric?"

"Oooh, busting out my real name again, anyway I wanted to see how your auditions went, but I didn't want to call while you were at auditions."

"That's suprisingly thoughtful of you, I didn't think you had it in you"

"Har har, now how did it go?"

"....."

"El, how did it go?"

"It went terribly okay? I totally messed up my monologue, and I barely salvaged it, and during partner scenes I totally tripped on my way onto the stage! It was horrible, and there's no way i'm gunna get into the play"

".... Hey, calm down. So what if you messed up a bit, or if you happened to trip onstage, you tried your best. You recovered and you kept going and you didn't back out, what more could an auditioner? Uhhh, Audition person ask for."

"Well for one they could ask for a person with a hell of a lot more talent then me"

"Hey, don't talk like that, I may not know you, or your acting skills, but I am one-hundred percent sure that you are doubting yourself, plus, even if you don't get in you still have a hell of a lot of cupcake talent"

"...Did you just try to use my own words against me"

"Yes, in a way more positive way then how you said them, I know your stressed, but you gotta try to stay positive."

"Staying positive all the time is hard."

".... "

"That it is El, that it is"

"Well I think I'm gunna go now, I've got tons of homework to do before tomorrow."

"Okay El, just keep your chin up okay? Try not to let the stress get you down."

"I'll try, but no promises"
