Beck nervously sat in the room with the other actors auditioning for the same part. His manager scheduled this audition last minute, so he didn't have time to practice, nor did he have time to get to know more about this movie.

He ran over his lines in his head, over and over, and thought of emotions that would be appropriate for the particular scene he had to audition.

"You nervous?" Georgia, Beck's agent, asked.

"Nah," Beck replied, sounding relaxed. He mastered the art of masking his emotions in high school.

"Good. Don't be. You'll do great," she told him reassuringly.

She smiled at him, and returned a smile back.

A lady came out of the audition room. "Beck Oliver?"

Beck stands up and straightens himself out.

"Good luck," Georgia tells him. He walks confidently towards the door.

There's a table set up conference style, with three chairs but only two people – one man and one woman – sitting down; the middle chair being empty.

Beck stood in front of them, waiting to get their attention.

"Alright, anytime you're ready Beck," the man tells him.

Beck ran his hand through his hair, took a deep breath, and began. He acted out the scene perfectly. No one could tell that he prepared for this only for the last hour.

When he finished, he waited patiently for the man and woman to look up from the table. They were writing notes. The two face each other, and talk amongst themselves quietly. Beck could hear, but tried not to. He was never one to eavesdrop.

"Mr. Oliver," the woman says, turning towards Beck. "You did an excellent job. My name is Brooke and this is Josh" she says as she points at the man sitting next to her. "We are both the assistants and we both think you're perfect for the lead part 'Seth' in this movie. Unfortunately, the writer-slash-director-slash-producer isn't here today, and she has the final say on who gets which part. So you'll have to come by tomorrow, at 8:00 AM sharp."

Beck nods and thanks them, then walks out of the room, concealing his enthusiasm.

"So?" Georgia asks him.

"They said I was perfect, but I have to re-audition because the writer, who also happens to be the director and producer, wasn't there. My audition is at 8:00AM sharp here, tomorrow."

Beck spent the rest of the day, going over the whole movie script, trying to prepare himself for the re-audition.


Jade walked through the hall, heading to the room. She wore a blue dress with black thigh high socks and black heels. She covered her shoulder and arms with a black leather jacket and wore sunglasses. They were her favorite sunglasses because it was tinted more than most sunglasses. No one could see her eyes, and she could see but everything in her vision was dark tinted. She always enjoyed watching people audition for the parts in her movie, especially the newbies.


"They'll be here any minute," Brooke tells Beck.

Beck stood in front of the table, patiently waiting.


"Are you sure this guy is good?" Jade asked her assistant.

"Yeah. He's perfect for the part," he answered her.

He opened the door and walked in towards his seat. Jade followed him, looking at the script.

Beck noticed the woman who followed Josh into the room. He noticed how familiar she looked from behind and the way she walked with confidence.

Jade sat down and removed her sunglasses to look at the guy auditioning. Her jaw literally dropped. "Beck?"

He still looked the same, except a big more rugged. He still had toned arms and nice long flowy hair. His mustache and beard made him look more of his age.

"Jade?"

Jade shook her, in attempt to stop herself from staring at him. "What are you doing here?"

"Auditioning," he said, as he held up his script. "…apparently, for your movie."

Jade shook her head again, in disbelief. Beck Oliver is auditioning for my movie, she said in her head. "I… ugh… Ok… um, go ahead. Start," she said, nervously. She hasn't spoken to him in five years but he still manages to make her tongue tied.

Beck chuckled, softly, noticing how her cheeks flush, before he began.

She watched him carefully, taking note how much his acting has improved since high school.

Jade, Brooke, and Josh discussed his audition quietly in front of Beck, for several minutes.

"Ok Beck! Congrats! You get to call yourself 'Seth' for the next six months. We'll film here in California for a month, then to your homeland, Canada for two weeks, then back here. Brooke will forward all of the details to your manager. We start the day after next. Congrats again," Jade tells him, in a formal tone. Beck noticed how professional she sounded.

"Thank you," Beck tells them, before turning around to go out the door. He opened the door, but hesitates before walking out. "Hey, ugh, Jade?"

She looked up to his face. "Yeah?"

"It was nice seeing you again. I look forward to working for you."

"Me too, Beck."

Beck turned to walk out, but stopped again. He turned around, slowly. "Ugh, Jade… Do you wanna have coffee with me?"

Jade thinked about it, before responding. "Sure. Ugh,"

"Josh and I have everything covered Jade. Go ahead," Brooke tells Jade.

"Are you free right now?" she asked Beck.

"Yeah. Skybucks?" he asked.

"Ok. I'll drive."

Jade stood up, put her sunglasses on, and walked past Beck, expecting him to follow. He smiled looking at her walk in front of him.

"You coming or you just gonna stand there all day?" she said, in the same tone she used in high school.

He hurriedly caught up to her, feeling a sense of déjà vu.


How will Beck and Jade's coffee meeting go?
Will it run smoothly or cause ruckus?
