Chapter 7 - My First Audition

After lunch, I feel like I’m going to hurl.

“Raz, relax,” Puppy says. She reaches over and takes my hand as we sit together, waiting at the bus stop outside The Glamour. “It’s just one open audition. You know, to see if you like it.”

I look at our clasped hands and say, “What if I mess up?”

“The casting directors are looking for specific people. You’ve gotta look the part anyway. It’s only your first audition. You’ll probably have to do a lot more auditions before you called back for a commercial, let alone a movie,” Puppy consoles.

I squeeze her hand in mine. “Yeah… I guess it’s good for the experience.”

“That’s all it is.”

“Are you saying that I won’t get a part, ever?” I say. My mind jumps to the worst possible outcome.

“No, I’m just saying to land a major part on your first time auditioning is unheard of. We’re only here for a week.”

“I guess you’re right.” With my other hand, I pull out the audition sheet that I’d printed off online— it was for a major action movie. A bit ambitious for my first ever audition, but hey, go big or go home.

If I don’t land anything while I’m out here, I’m going home. “I’m going to audition for the part of Patrick. What about you?”

“I want to try out as Layne,” she informs me. “If this reads right, whoever they cast gets to go film in Japan.”

“Fancy,” I say, and I raise my eyebrows. I fold the paper back up, put it in my pocket, and say, “Are you ready for this?”

“As ready as you are.” She’s nervous, I can tell, but not as nervous as I am. She’s not planning on this for a career; she just wants to see where this leads.

Unlike me. I’m relying on this as part of my future.

I’m thrilled that we’re holding hands— not even my nervousness can quench that. She drops my hand, though, when she sees the bus coming by to pick us up.

It bothers me a little, but I don’t say anything.

“Holy crap,” I say as we drive by the small studio where we’re supposed to audition. Hundreds of guys are wrapped around the outside of the building in a line, starting at the doorway where we’re supposed to audition.

“Looks like a lot of guys want to play Patrick,” Puppy says, stunned. “You’d better be able to stand out.”

“Since when has that ever been a problem for me?” I ask as we get off the bus.

Puppy looks at her sheet and says, “My audition is over there. I’ll call you when I’m done.”

“Same here. See ya.” I wave a goodbye and head in the other direction.

“Wait!” Puppy cries. She spins me around before I go and, to my great surprise, gives me a quick kiss on the lips.

“Break a leg!” she encourages before she hurries off.

My head is swimming. What just happened? Was that a... friendly good luck kiss?

Or something more?

Feeling like I’m on drugs, I float to the check-in table.
