This is Gabriella's NowChapter 1: Auditions
By musiclover94
Gabriella Montez was very nervous. She was sitting in a chair, waiting to audition for American Idol. American Idol. Which that if she won, it would change her whole life. Oh, yes, she was very nervous.
"Gabriella Montez," a voice over the intercom said.
Take deep breaths, deep breaths… Gabriella thought. Don't panic.
She opened the heavy oak, fake wood door and slowly walked in. She had learned from past contestants, she had been an avid watcher since Season 1, to never wear an outfit that took away from your voice, however bad it was. Gabriella was wearing faded jeans and a blue babydoll top. She faced the three judges: Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, and Simon Cowell.
"What's you're name?" Simon said in his usual bored voice.
"Gabriella Montez." she said, rather surprised at how calm her voice sounded, contrary to what she felt inside.
"And what will you be singing?" Simon asked again.
"Say OK by Vanessa Hudgens," she said. (Vanessa is a signed artist in this story. Gabriella and Baby V are two separate people)
"Ok, you may begin," he said again.
She took a deep breath and began to sing…
You are fine
You are sweet
But I'm still a
bit naive with my heart
When you're close I don't breathe
I
can't find the words to speak
I feel sparks
But I don't wanna
be into you
If you are not looking for true love, oh
No I don't
wanna start seeing you
If I can't be your only one
So tell me
when it's not alright
When it's not ok
Will you try to make me
feel better?
Will you say all right? (say all right)
Will you
say ok? (Say ok)
Will you stick with me through whatever?
Or
run away
(Say that it's gonna be alright. That it's gonna be
ok)
Say Ok.
When you call I don't know if I should pick up
the phone every time
I'm not like all my friends who keep calling
up the boys, I'm so shy
But I don't wanna be into you
If you
don't treat me the right way
See I can only start seeing you
If
you can make my heart feel safe (feel safe)
When it's not
alright
When it's not ok
Will you try to make me feel
better?
Will you say all right? (say all right)
Will you say
ok? (Say ok)
Will you stick with me through whatever?
Or run
away
(Say that it's gonna be alright. That it's gonna be ok
Don't
run away, don't run away)
Let me know if it's gonna be you
Boy,
you've got some things to prove
Let me know that you'll keep me
safe
I don't want you to run away so
Let me know that you'll
call on time
Let me know that you'll help me shine
Will you
wipe my tears away
Will you hold me closer
When it's not
alright
When it's not ok
Will you try to make me feel
better
Will you say alright? (say all right)
Will you say ok?
(Say ok)
Will you stick with me through whatever?
Or run
away
(Say that it's gonna be alright. That it's gonna be ok)
Say
OK
(Don't run away, don't run away)
(Say that it's gonna be
alright. That it's gonna be ok, don't run away)
Will you say
OK
(Say that it's gonna be alright. That it's gonna be ok)
She stopped and waited for the final comments. She was surprised that they let her sing until the end if the song.
"Paula?" said Simon again
"I think you have a real nice voice, sweetie. Yes from me."
"Randy?" she said.
"You sang it well. Yes from me"
"Simon?"
Gabriella held her breath. Simon was the most difficult judge.
"It was a bit screechy in the middle, but overall it was a good vocal. Yes from me" he said.
Gabriella smiled.
"You're going to Hollywood!" Randy exclaimed.
Gabriella could barely contain her excitement. She ran over to the golden ticket pile and took one off. She said thank you to the judges and pushed open the right door: The 'Going to Hollywood' door.
"I GOT INTO HOLLYWOOD!" she shrieked, finally letting it all out. Her mother hugged her. She called her boyfriend, Troy Bolton and her best friends, Taylor McKessie, Kelsi Neilson, and Sharpay Evans to tell them the good news. They were all happy for her and they all promised that they would come to some of the shows.
Gabriella went back to her hotel room as if she were floating on a cloud. As she was starting to fall asleep, she thought I'm on the American Idol journey. She smiled to herself and fell asleep, dreaming of the finale and Hollywood Week, which would be in two weeks. She couldn't wait.
Author's Note: Please leave a review! I love them! Any ideas for Gabriella's song for Hollywood week would be greatly. I will credit you in my beginning Author's Note. This will be a very long story, as American Idol runs from January to May. I won't be able to update my stories a lot from January to March because I'm in a play, (Harriet the Spy, if you are wondering) and I have practice a lot.
