Audition
Bella's POV.
I yawned as the alarm clock rang. I looked at the clock on my nightstand: 06:30.
I sighed and put the pillow over my face, before turning the alarm off. I knew I had to get up, this was my chance. I was lucky I got this audition; there were so many actresses in this town just dreaming about this audition.
I stepped in the shower, and shivered a bit. I had to shower in cold water, because my warm water had been shut off due to bills being paid to late. I showered as quickly as I could, before stepping out and putting a towel around myself.
I decided to blow-dry my hair, which took me forever, but I wanted to look my best today. I had to, or else there was no chance I would get the role. As I blow dried my hair, I watched my own reflection in the mirror. I didn't look pretty at all, I thought to myself. Once I finished my hair, I took out my makeup bag and put on makeup. I used more than I usually did, because this was a big day.
I had picked out an outfit the night before, because I knew I had to pick out the exact right one. It was a blue v-necked blouse, with a pair of slim white jeans underneath. Would I look good enough, good enough to get the role?
I really hoped so, if I got the role I would be playing opposite Edward Cullen. I almost fainted at the thought. He was the most beautiful and good looking actor in the entire world. He was 20 years old, and I was 19.
I know, it's a little early to be living in New York all alone, but I had to move away from my family. My mom had died one and a half year ago, and after she died my father had become very lonely and depressed. Living with him had made me depressed, and just about a half year later I had moved out. I had found a really cheap apartment in New York, which I financed by having a part-time job at a café.
If I could get this role, I would be able to get myself a nicer apartment and quit my café job. I smiled at the though, but then calmed down again. Who knew if I would get it? There were probably hundreds of girls at the audition.
I read over the lines that I was supposed to say, before walking out of the apartment and closing the door. I decided to walk to where the audition was being held, since I couldn't afford a taxi. I was just hoping and begging that it wouldn't rain, since my hair looked better than it had ever looked.
When I got to the audition building I walked inside, and towards a counter. Behind the counter a girl with red hair sat, and typed on the computer. She looked up and smiled at me.
"You must be here for the audition?" she asked.
"Yes, I am" I answered and smiled back.
"What's your name?"
"Isabella Swan" I answered, and looked around. The room was modernly decorated, and looked very nice.
"It's on the fifth floor, and to the right" the woman said and gestured for me to get into the elevator.
I walked inside, and pressed the button that said fifth floor. There were some mirrors in the elevator, so I used the chance to put on some lip-gloss and check my hair.
When I walked out of the elevator I saw a lot of girls pacing back and forth in the corridor. They all looked very nervous. I swallowed hard and walked towards them. When they saw me coming some of them smiled, but some didn't. I noticed that one of them gave me an evil smile and walked towards me.
"Jessica Stanley" she said.
"I'm Isabella Swan" I said.
"Whatever, if you think you're going to get this role, you better think again." She said, with an evil voice. "It's mine, besides I bet you don't even know how to act". She laughed a little.
She was right; I had never gone to an acting school or done commercials. The last years I had tried desperately just to get an audition, and when I finally got one, I would never actually get the role.
Jessica looked like a supermodel. She had long blonde hair, and wore a black top, with slim black jeans beneath. I had seen her face before; she had been on a hair commercial not long ago.
She turned quickly around so that her long hair hit my face. Could she be any meaner?
"Are you okay?" a girl asked me. I turned around to see an Asian looking girl with glasses.
"I'm Angela by the way" she said and smiled.
"Yeah I'm okay, Isabella Swan here, thanks for caring" I said, and smiled back.
"So are you nervous?" she asked, and I could tell that she really was.
"Yeah, very" I answered and gave her a knowing look.
"Can Angela Weber please come in?" a man asked.
"Good luck" I said, before she hesitated a bit and walked towards the audition room.
I went over the lines inside my head and tried to focus. When I opened my eyes I noticed Jessica staring at me, she looked really mad, seriously; what was her problem?
Angela came out after around five minutes and Jessica was called in. Angela looked really disappointed, and walked towards me.
"How did it go?" I asked.
She looked at the floor and answered me after a while.
"Not that good, honestly I wasn't able to concentrate when Edward Cullen was there."
Edward Cullen would be there? This was not good, I suddenly felt very dizzy and was about to walk out, when I heard my name being called.
"Good luck!" Angela said, and smiled.
"Umm... thanks" I murmured and walked slowly towards the audition room.
I walked into the room and saw a lot of people sitting at a table. In front of the table stood a man with bronze colored hair. I could easily see that it was Edward Cullen, and when he turned around to look at me, I stopped breathing. He looked even better in real life than he did in his movies.
I smiled towards him, but he didn't smile back.
"Stand on the mark please, Isabella was it?" One of the men sitting behind the table said.
I walked towards the mark and stood there, feeling a little awkward.
"Okay, whenever you're ready" a woman said, and yawned. It seemed I wasn't the only one who had slept badly last night.
Edward then turned towards me, and looked into my eyes.
"How come I have never seen you here before?" he asked, as perfectly as I had imagined while reading the script.
I tried to say my line, but I couldn't remember it. Looking into his eyes made me forget everything else.
"Before the day is over?" an old man said.
"I… I just moved here" I answered, not as confident as I had imagined but still the right line.
"Really?" Edward answered. "I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you before, you're eyes literally shine".
I blushed a bit, and then contained myself.
"And I have never seen anyone quite like you before either" I said. This time it sounded better, and I began breathing again relieved.
We continued saying our lines, for the entire scene, and it just got more and more intense. I could tell he was a good actor, and I didn't act too bad myself either. I could feel some chemistry between us, and got more and more confident.
"If you really are as brave as they say, then do you dare to kiss me?" I said, with as much intensity as Edward said his lines with.
"I will" he said, and put his arms around my waist, before pressing his lips gently towards mine. It was perfect, I felt like our bodies melted together and then…
"Cut, that was it. Thank you" a woman with brown glasses and blonde hair said behind the table.
"Now it's time for some questions" she said and looked at her papers.
"First of all, how old are you?"
"I'm nineteen" I answered.
"Okay", she said as she wrote down my answer.
"Where are you from?" she asked.
"I'm from Forks. It's a really small town in Washington" I answered, and blushed a bit. I knew no one knew where it was.
"Have you done any acting before? Gone to an acting school, commercials TV-shows?" she asked, and took off her glasses.
"No" I answered. "My parents couldn't afford sending me to any acting schools, and I haven't done any acting before".
"Hmm…" she murmured before writing something down.
"Okay, I believe that's it" she said.
As I walked towards the door, I caught a glimpse of Edward and I could swear I saw his jaw hanging a bit.
When I walked out of the room, the insecurity hit me again as I saw Jessica glaring at me. I decided to call my best friend, Rosalie to tell her the good news.
I picked up my phone and saw that I had one missed call, from my ex-boyfriend Jacob Black.
Our relationship had ended badly just before I moved from Forks. He was really nice and sweet at first, and since he was the son of my father's best friend I decided it wouldn't do any harm to get together with him.
The only problem was that he had begun hanging with the wrong crowd, and begun smoking and drinking. When Jacob drank he got violent and he had hit me more than once while being drunk. The last time, he was convinced that I had been cheating on him with a boy from class, Mike Newton. I tried to tell him that we were just friends, but he didn't want to listen. He had hit me so hard, I almost wasn't able to walk afterwards, and almost raped me. Thankfully my father had walked in just then, and interrupted us. He had unfortunately bought Jacob's poor explanation that I had fallen down the stairs, and Jacob hadn't been caught.
It was that night I had decided to leave, and I went with my best friend at the moment, Lauren. We went to New York together, and I had not returned Jacobs calls. Lauren had met a French boy when we came to New York, and now lived in France. I hadn't talked to her in a year, and we had totally lost contact. I deleted the missed call from Jacob, and called Rosalie.
She worked as a writer for the hottest magazine in New York, and was amazing. She had come to the café that I worked in one day, and we had just bonded instantly.
"Hello its Rosalie Hale?" she answered.
"Hi, Rose" I answered. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm done with the first audition round".
"Good, so how did it go?" she asked. "Did you get to meet Edward Cullen? You did didn't you?" she exclaimed. "You have to tell me all about it over dinner tonight, I will pay. But I have to go now; I have an interview with Chace Crawford. Alright, good luck!" she said before hanging up.
I put the phone away, and walked over to where Angela was sitting.
"How did it go?" she asked.
"It went good, I think" I answered, I didn't want to hurt her too bad if her audition went bad.
"Good!" she said. "We have to exchange numbers, so that we can keep in contact". She smiled towards me and we exchanged numbers. When I looked up I saw Jessica standing over us.
"Made a new friend, huh?" she said. "A loser, like yourself". She smiled with her evil smile, and I wished I could hit her.
"Is that acne?" I said, and pointed towards Jessica's face. She hurried towards the toilets, and Angela and I couldn't help but laugh.
A few moments later Jessica returned, with an evil smirk on her lips. "I think you need glasses Bella, I didn't have any acne".
"How weird, oh I'm sorry. It was just your nose" I exclaimed, and Angela and I laughed again.
She turned angrily on her heel and walked away from us. She was pathetic.
The woman with the blonde hair and glasses got out of the room.
"I have here the names of those of you who will get called back for a second audition. It will take place here tomorrow." She said, and then began calling out names.
"…. Jessica Stanley, and last but not least Isabella Swan".
I was honestly a little shocked when I heard my name, and turned towards Angela. She looked a little sad, but then smiled.
"Too bad huh? Well, that's life. Congratulations anyways" she said. "We have to meet up some day; promise to give me a call? Or I will call you".
I smiled at her, and walked towards the blonde woman who gave me a new script, which obviously was for tomorrow's auditions.
I went towards the elevators; I suddenly remembered I hadn't eaten any breakfast today so I hurried home to get something to eat.
When I got home, I ate and read through the lines a few times. They weren't that hard, and there was another kiss. I couldn't wait to kiss Edward again. He was such a good kisser. I went on the computer that I had gotten from Rosalie last birthday and searched for information about Edward Cullen online. I got to his official website and began reading. It said that he was currently dating Tanya Denali, and I bit my lip. I knew he was taken, and a guy like him would never notice me anyway.
I looked at the clock and realized I would be late for dinner, so I hurried out the door towards the restaurant.
*******
Edwards POV.
I sat in the limousine, and I was really tired. I hated audition days, they were the worst. Acting through the same scene over and over, with one actress worse than the other. When I finally got there, I went into the audition room. I noticed that none of the girls that would be auditioning had arrived yet. I looked at the clock, and realized I was 5 minutes early. I groaned and checked my phone; Tanya had tried to call me. I called her back:
"Eddy?" she answered.
"Yes, It's me" I said.
"Why didn't you call me back earlier?" she said, and I could literally imagine the pout on her lips.
"I'm sorry, I just got to the audition building" I answered.
Tanya was in Italy filming a movie with Orlando Bloom at the moment, and honestly it was a bit relaxing. Without her around, always nagging me about doing stuff together, I felt free.
"Well the weather here is great, but the food is awful. I swear I haven't found one restaurant that serves salads" she said.
"I'm sorry about that" I said, and thankfully the producers walked into the room just then. "Listen babe, I have to go. The producers just came. Talk to you later okay?" I said.
"But we haven't talked in two days Eddie, and I've missed you so much" she said with her baby voice.
"I'm sorry, I really have to go" I answered.
"Okay then, promise to call me later" she said, and then I hung up.
"Your girlfriend?" The screenwriter asked. I nodded, and he continued.
"She won't disturb us during the auditions, right?" he asked.
"No, of course not" I answered, and turned off the phone.
"Are you ready?" the casting manager asked, and I nodded towards her.
"Let's send the first one in then".
In came a shy Asian girl. She blushed once she saw me, and looked down towards the floor the entire time. I saw the producers shaking their heads, and when she was supposed to say her lines she just stared down at the floor quietly. She wasn't able too, and after a while we had to give up. She was just really bad.
The casting manager asked her, a few questions, without really writing down anything. Then she was sent out. She definitely wouldn't get the role, I thought to myself. I had never seen anyone as bad has her before, and laughed a little to myself.
The next one was a strawberry blonde girl. She kind of reminded me of Tanya, and she kept pushing her boobs forward. I had to hide my laughter by coughing.
She smiled her widest smile, and the producers asked us to begin.
I said my lines, and she said hers. Nothing special really. She wasn't bad, but not really good either. I sighed as I realized the producers liked her. When we came to the kiss part, she hugged her arms around my neck, instead of waiting for me to make a move, just like Tanya, and began kissing me eagerly. Then the producers began asking her a few questions, which she eagerly answered.
When she was done, she winked towards me and walked out while swinging her hips.
I began talking to the producers about the script, when I heard the door open and close behind me. I turned around, and saw a girl with brown hair enter the room. She wore a beautiful blue blouse that complimented her skin perfectly.
She smiled at me, but I didn't care to smile back. She isn't that special I thought to myself. She stood at the mark, and I said my line and looked into her eyes. When she was supposed to say her line I noticed how much she blushed. It actually was quite cute, but she was obviously a bad actor. The producers urged her to continue, and I was about to give up when she said her line.
"I… I just moved here" she was stammering a bit, and her voice was quite weak.
"Really?" I said. "I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you before, you're eyes literally shine". I then noticed that her eyes did shine a bit, they were brown and staring into mine. She blushed even more and said her line:
"And I have never seen anyone quite like you before either" This time she said it much better, and I noticed that she could actually have actor potential.
We continued saying our lines, for the entire scene, and it just got more and more intense. I could tell she was quite a good actor. I could feel some chemistry between us, and she got more and more confident into the scene.
"If you really are as brave as they say, then do you dare to kiss me?" she said. I had never heard anyone say that line with the same intensity and feeling before and I was actually quite dazzled.
"I will" I said, and put my arms around my waist. She smelled good, and the skin that was exposed beneath her blouse was soft. I pressed my lips gently towards hers. It was perfect. I had never kissed anybody like this in an audition before. I felt like our bodies melted together and then…
"Cut, that was it. Thank you" the casting director said.
"Now it's time for some questions" she said and looked at her papers.
"First of all, how old are you?"
"I'm nineteen" she answered. Just nineteen? I thought to myself.
"Okay", she said as she wrote down her answer.
"Where are you from?" she asked.
"I'm from Forks. It's a really small town in Washington" she answered, and blushed a bit. I didn't know why she was blushing, but I had never heard about Forks before.
"Have you done any acting before? Gone to an acting school, commercials TV-shows?" she asked, and took off her glasses.
"No" she answered. No? How could she be this good then? "My parents couldn't afford sending me to any acting schools, and I haven't done any acting before". I couldn't believe it; she had acted better than any actress I had ever worked with, especially at the end of the scene.
"Hmm…" the casting director murmured before writing something down.
"Okay, I believe that's it" she said.
Isabella Swan, as I know remembered she was named walked towards the door, but before she walked out she looked at me. She smiled and then walked out.
How could a girl impress me this much, in just five minutes? I decided I needed a night out with the guys to clear my mind up.
