Dear Diary,

This is it. Today is the big day. I need to nail this audition. If I don't, I don't think I can continue trying to pursue acting. I mean I guess it's okay if I don't. I am only fifteen years old. I can do other things in my future, like become a doctor, but….with all the blood… Oh who am I kidding being in the television show "My Babysitter's a Vampire" would be incredibly amazing! Oh! I have to go! My mom is calling me to go to the audition! I hope I come back to write good news! Xoxo

"So are you nervous?" My mom asks.

"Nope not all." That was a lie. I felt like I was gonna throw up.

"Good! I'm sure you'll be fantastic! You're perfect for the role Ashley!"

"Thanks mom!"

The role that I was auditioning for was Benny's love interest, Lauren Palmer, who also happens to be a fledgling like Sarah. She is a very nice and sweet girl, but knows how to get her way, which is where the whole almost vampire thing kicks in.

"Ok well let's get in the car! We don't want to be late!" my mom says.

"Uhhh yeah let's do this!" I was feeling even queasier than before.

Here we go. Off to starting my life… or ending it.

We're here. We're finally here. I'm starting to sweat. My palms feel as if they've been doused with water. Did it just get about 10 degrees warmer? I think it did. Oh great, now I think my breakfast is coming up.

My mom and I walk into the building where the auditions are held. I go up to the lady at the front desk and say, "Hello, my name is Ashley Smith and I'm here for the 'My Babysitter's a Vampire auditions'."

"Hello there, Ashley." She says with a smile. "I'm going to need you to fill out this paper and then return it to me. Then you can go to your audition!" She handed me a clipboard with a paper attached to it. I grab a pen, and then go and sit next to my mom.

My Babysitter's a Vampire Audition Sheet

Have you done any acting jobs? If so list them.

How did you start acting? If this is your first time, what made you decide to take on acting?

Why do you think we should choose you for this role?

After I finished filling out the sheet, I got up and handed it to the lady at the front desk.

"Ah, thank you. You can now head into that room over there." She said pointing to the right.

"Thanks." I said shakily.

I head over to the door the lady was pointing at. Just as I was opening the door, I hear the lady say, "Break a leg!"

This is it. This is it. This is it. There's no turning back now.

I walk in to see four people sitting at a table to my right. I'm guessing they are the producers and directors.

A man with short spiky hair wearing a plaid shirt and a denim jacket, sitting at the table sees me and says, "Hello, erm Ashley! How are you?"

Did he just ask me a question? I'm getting sick. What if they don't like me? What if they hate me? Don't worry Ashley, don't worry. Just do what mom always says: Be yourself.

Okay. I can do this.

"I'm great! How are you?"

"Doing just fine! Thanks for asking!" The man replied. Then soon said, "We're going to start you off at scene three which is where Lauren would first come into play."

"Ok sounds good!" I say

He then says, "I'll be playing the part of Benny. Okay so now that it's settled, let's get started!"

…..

"Hey I couldn't help but noticing, you are the most beautiful thing to ever walk these halls of White Chapel High." Benny (the man) says

"Oh really?" I say with a smile, liking his flirtatiousness, "Well this 'beautiful thing has a name! Hi I'm Lauren." I say sticking out my hand for him to shake, showing him I'm interested but not just throwing myself out there.

"Wait that pick up line actually worked? Usually girls just say, 'go away you creep' or the famous, 'shut up loser'!" Benny (the man) says excitedly.

"Well I guess I'm not like other girls then, am I?" I say flirting back.

"No not at all, cause you're actually talking to me!" Benny (the man) said even more excited than before.

I giggle a flirtatious giggle, and then say, "Um I never did catch your name, what is it?"

"Oh! Right! My name, uh, it's um, uhh, hold on, um oh! My name's Benny! Benny (the man) says feeling accomplished.

"Benny's a really cute name."

school bell rings

"Oh! I guess that means we should get to class! Maybe I'll see you around, Benny?" As I say this, I push my hair back and give 'Benny' that innocent, cute, smile, and face that wins over ever guy's heart.

"Ugh yeah see you around." Benny (the man) says at a loss for words.

…..

"Thank you for your audition Ashley. We will let you know by tomorrow if you got the part or not." The man says.

"Okay thank you all! Thank you for your time!" I say.

I leave the audition room feeling confident.
