Anybody's Dream!!

Chapter 5

- She sits beside me like a silhouette

Hard candy dripping on me till my feet are wet

And now she's all over me

It's like I pay for it, It's like I pay for it

I'm gonna pay for this

15/05/2021 Day of Audition!!!

I am absolutely bricking it, its the day of the audition and I don't know how to react or even handle this. I made sure that I dressed to impress, I am wearing khaki brown Chelsea boots with black skinny jeans and a white polo neck jumper topped with a brown trench coat. I take one last look in the mirror and head off to the location Mario gave me.

I sigh and take a deep breath to calm my breathing and walk in.

I've seen pictures of Mario so I have an idea of what he looks like for me to spot him in this massively packed building, I didn't realize this many people would be here.

'Cattleya!!" I hear Mario call my name from the hug-tight crowd and I spin around at his voice and jump into his arms, hugging him. As we pull apart I slap his arm, paying forward my promise of slapping him when I first meet him.

"What was that for?" He asks me, forgetting our conversation.

"Don't act like you don't know why I slapped you. You catfished me you tramp." I stick out my bottom lip like a child and cross my arms over my chest and he has the cheek to laugh at me which just infuriates me even more, making me frown.

"I apologized didn't I?"

"Whatever."

He tells me what will be happening today and takes me around the building as a tour, well... half at least because the place so too big to go all the way around. We laugh and joke around as we back to everyone in the foyer like as if we've known each other our whole lives.

"Alright, its the end of the road for us now." Mario speaks up with a hint of sadness in his voice as we reach the ridiculously huge crowd.

"What do you mean? We'll still be friends and keep in touch right?" I ask worried.

"Yeah I guess so but it won't be the same as before, in the sense that I'll be hella busy."

At that moment someone speaks into a microphone and introduces themselves and explains what Mario just explain to me; there are three stages, everyone will be interviewed and those make an impression will go onto the next stage where we'll be given a task to do and then the final stage will be a personal project. I am actually really excited about this.

A Week Ago....

"Oh my flipping gosh!! Chloe wake up quick, I need to tell you something." I jump on Chloe only feeling a little bit guilty for disturbing her peaceful sleep.

"Mmmmhh no stop." She attempts to push me off and cover her head with a pillow, I rip the pillow away and tickle her and she bursts into a fit of laughter and pleads with me to stop.

"Ok I'm up, I'm up, Cat stop please." I laugh at her and crawl off of her.

"What is so important you had to interrupt my peaceful sleep like that."

"So basically, you know Mario that guy I been speaking to?"

"Yeah, is he finally gonna give you the d." She raises her eyebrows repeatedly, giggling.

"Noooo oh my gosh. Basically he turned out to be a catfish. He's real but he's a producer for an upcoming tv show and he was talking to me to see if I'd be a good candidate for it, turns out I am obvs."

Now she's fully alert and has a slight anger on her face, she's very protective over me.

"Do I need to get my knife? Is he dumb, I'll cut him for lying to my best friend." She's really angry now, her voice is raising slightly as she speaks more.

"No its ok honestly, I was mad at first as well but I forgave him quick and accepted his offer. There's an audition I have to go to this coming Saturday." At this point I am sitting on my legs, excitedly.

"An audition? Wow, so what's this tv show even." She asks calming down.

"You know celebs go dating?"

"Oh my gosh I love that show Cat." She looks me deadpan in the face, like saying 'you know that's my favourite show to watch.'

"Well its like that but its with bigger celebrities."

"Are you joking me?" She asks dumbfoundedly.

"I'm being serious Chloe, I am freaking out, what if..." I stop in thought and in fear of her mocking me.

"Bro it could happen, we need to go shopping for you to look your utmost best, you have to be slaying queen, my African queen." She's really excited now.

"I'm so scared Chlo." I hold my face in my hands and look at her through my long eyelashes, tears fretting to appear.

Present Day

I've passed the first two stages and it was intense. first stage they asked me questions about myself, the in-depth ones like, 'what's your worst habit,' 'what's your type,' etc. The second stage they set me up with three guys and I had to find them an outfit to wear in the setting that they gave me.

Its now eight O'clock and I'm about to go onto the third and final stage, I am bricking it but also excited. For this one we have to write the best poem for our future date, the date we have in mind and someone we are not expecting all in one. I am good at writing so this will be easy for me.

This is crazy, I never thought things like this would happen to me and now that it finally is, I'm pooping my trousers but I am so determined.

Bring It On Mate.....
