Natalia walked into the classroom and put her bag onto the chair she wanted to sit on, at the very front of the classroom. She grabbed her iPhone from the front pocket of her backpack and texted Mina.
Hey, u in the library yet? Natalia tapped into her phone.
Yeah lol, I'm adding some new books into the system Mina sent back quickly.
K I'm in theatre cya
Natalia put her phone back into her bag and sat up a little straighter as more and more students filed into the large room. Suddenly, Miss Jackson walked into the Theatre, and addressed the class calmly.
"Hello, 9A. As you know, we're studying Heathers, so please grab your copy of the script, and let's begin." They read the script a few times and talked about delivery of lines with the characters Kurt and Ram, Heather McNamara and Heather Chandler. An hour later, class was over.
"Oh, 9A. You might have already seen some flyers in the lunch hall, but New York City High School is having auditions! If you don't know what that is, it's a performing arts high school in NYC, in America. It's extremely hard to get into there, and you'd be very lucky if you succeed." Miss Andrews waved her hand for dismissal, and everyone left the room, apart from Natalia. She took a step forward to face Miss Andres. "Miss- Miss Andrews?"
"Yes?" She replied.
"About the auditions. Can anyone audition? Where are the auditions? Are the auditions free? Do I need any background experience?" Natalia rambled, her words mixing together.
"Yes, anyone can audition, Natalia," Miss Andrews said coolly. "The auditions will be held at Len theatre, they're free and no background experience is needed. Just bring in ID and a passport." With that, Miss Andrews left the room, leaving Natalia there alone. She grabbed her backpack and dashed to the library. It was break, so she had some time to tell Mina.
"Mina! I want to audition for NYC High!"
"What? Okay." Mina Replied. It seemed as if she couldn't care less. Truth be told, Natalia hated big reactions. It annoyed her to the core.
"Okay, I'll see you at the local library after school?"
'Sure.' Mina replied with a kindly smile as she turned back to a stack of Jane Austen books.
