XoXoXOXoXoX
Why did it have to be me? Of all the people in the world, it just had to be me. Of the billions and billions of people on the huge fucking planet, I had to be friends with someone that had to be the dumbest son of a bitch I have ever had the displeasure to meet. Maybe if I was just a tad bit better with my decisions I wouldn't be here right now. In a fucking waiting for an audition to God only knows what!
"Oh come on Ichi, I said sorry-" I raise my hand so he would stop talking.
"Renji, you are undoubtedly my best friend and you know I have your back regardless of what you do to me or put me through but this. THIS, fucking ridiculous. You made me miss work for an audition for some shitty T.V. that I'm positive I won't get cast for?! Are you kidding me!? I'm using my days off for this!?" I screech. I didn't care that people were staring at me. I didn't give not a fuck. I watch as Renji scratches behind his head in embarrassment.
"Ichigo, when is the last time you've done something wild and outrageous? Never, that's when! I'm just looking out for you. You need to expand your horizons, live a little."
"In case you haven't noticed I'm breathing air as we speak…"
"Ich, you know what I mean. Tell you what, if you don't get casted on the show, I'll pay you for every time I force you to come out with me." I sigh.
"Renji, you don't get it. It's not the fact that you signed me up for this shit, it's just that-"
"Ichigo Kurosaki?" I hear my name being called. By who, that's a different story.
"He's Ichigo Kurosaki!" Renji announces right before he grabs me close to him, probably so I wouldn't escape. The strange man with the striped hat and clip board smiled at me.
"Okay, right this way Mr. Kurosaki!" I try to correct the man and tell him that I was on my way out but Renji covered my mouth.
"Look, just go in there and answer some questions the guy might have. It's seriously not that bad. The worst that can happen is that you don't get picked." I breathe heavily out my nose. I guess he had a point. I pull myself out of Renji's grip and go in the room the man with the clip board went into.
When I got inside I noticed three figures but I couldn't make out a gender because of how dark it was in the room. I can vaguely see an empty see but I know it's there so that's where I go. I'm seated between two figures, whom of which I still don't know the genders of, as the clip board man clears his throat.
"Okay, I will ask you four questions that I want each of you to answer one at a time. Once answered you are not to say anything else until I ask the next question. Is that understood?" he asks. We all make some form of noise that signifies our understanding of what he said.
"Good, we'll start with you." He says as he points to the man farthest from me on my right side. "You are person number one, you are two and so on. Now person number one, what gender are you into?"
"Definitely men! I like em' muscular with the whole package if you catch my drift!" Person number one says. Even though I'm gay as well, this guy seems to be on a whole new level of gay, like mega, ultra gay. Yet the man with the clip board says nothing about his answer.
"Okay, person number 2, you have the same question. Which gender are you most into?"
"Hmm well, I likes guys for sure but I can't say I wouldn't try anything with a girl. I mean, the only thing we don't have in common is a dick and a couple of organs right?" Okay, so that's definitely a girl. I guess that would explain the fruity smell in the air, then again it could be person number one. Up next is me.
"That's good. Person number three, your answer?"
"I don't see how that concerns you…"
"Are you refusing to answer the question?"
"Absolutely. I don't see how this has to do with anything." I know I might be giving off the bitch vibe, but come on! What is answering questions about my sexuality going to do for anybody?
"Okay, how about this. What do you like to do on your spare time?"
"I like to read a book or sleep and maybe with enough convincing, a party or two."
"Thank you person number three."
"Whatever."
"Person number four, what do you like to do on your spare time?" he asks.
"Well, I like to read books also but I'm not much of a partier. I really love to cook but I study a lot too. But I don't really like studying." Okay so it's another girl. And she seems like a fucking twat. Just fucking stupid.
"So what is it that you like to do on your spare time?" he repeats because she obviously forgot the question that she was supposed to be answering.
"Oh right, the question! Uhm, cooking. I like to cook on my spare time!"
"I see. Well person number four, that is all I need from you. You may leave." He says sounding very uninterested for the first time in 5 minutes.
"Huh? O-Okay. It was nice meeting you." She says sounding hurt. I hear her shift out of the seat and head towards the door. When it's opened, I can see a glimpse of the woman but not much.
"That girl sounded like a total sack of boring!" person number one says dramatically.
"Yoruichi, if you could please turn on the lights." Once that's said, the light instantly turn on relieving the people I've been listening and or talking to.
"Well, well, person number three is a hottie! I know I said I liked muscular men but hot damn I'll make an exception for you!" Person number one said. I snorted at his words. This guy didn't stand a chance with me. Not only was he half my freakin' size but he's so scrawny. He was built like a stick. Not to mention his features; he was practically a girl! Dark hair styled to perfection, tight clothing showing off his belly ring, and eye shadow that made his purple eyes stand out. For crying out loud, he was wearing eye shadow. No man should be wearing eye shadow. I cringe and shutter.
"Sorry bud, you gotta be at least this tall to ride this ride…" I tell him as I point to my chest. "And even still I doubt I'd let you even stand in line."
"Wow, he's got sass! I like you, you wanna tell me your name cutie?" person number two asks. She too, was short but taller than person number one. She's got magenta colored eyes, dark pig tails, a half shirt tank top and short shorts with some sandals. She wasn't exactly ugly, she was pretty, but just not my type, at all…
"Not particularly…"
"Well you should tell both of them, considering you're going to be living with them for 5 months." The man with the clip board says.
"I'm sorry, what did you just say?" I ask over the cheers and laughter of my new 'roommates'.
"You heard me. These are going to be your roommates for the next 5 months and if the show does well probably more than that! You all, along with six others that were previously cast, have been selected to be on the next big reality show!"
"But all you did was ask one freakin' question! I could be a serial killer for all you know!" I tell him. He only smiles and raises an eyebrow.
"Well are you?"
"W-Well no but you see the point I'm trying to make here!"
"I do Mr. Kurosaki, that I do. But I have chosen you for several reasons. You all gave very different answers than everyone else we've interviewed, including the ones we have already casted. And you, Mr. Kurosaki, didn't even answer my original question, well you and another difficult cast member but that's getting off topic. I have other reasons that I have picked you, such as personality clashes and so on, which I think you will find out when you meet the rest of the cast next week when you are flown out to California!"
"Hell yeah! We're going to California! Oh I can't wait, I'm gonna tan my ass off!"
"Oh my gosh, me too!" person one and two chatter back and forth. Meanwhile I sit there dumbstruck as clip board man smiles brightly at me.
"I-W-What about my job!?" I ask frantically. He simply laughs.
"We'll be paying for all it's worth so don't worry." I was really trying to find a logical reason not to go but to be honest I'm coming up short. If all this shit was going to be paid for then what the hell am I worrying about?
Try to stay positive, Ichigo. Think of it as a long vacation. A 5 month vacation. With strangers. But Renji did say to get out more. Maybe this is what I need. Then again my job. But my boss is a dick…
"Fuck it, I'm goin' to Cali!" I say, finally making my decision.
"That's great news! Here's an information paper about all you'll need and flight times and such for next week. There's also the time zone times in case you want to keep that for when you're calling home. And if there are no more questions, you all may leave. I will see you all next week bright and early!"
I slowly get out of my seat and head for the door. I'm still slightly shocked that I was even picked for something like this. Renji's going to lose his mind when he here's this. I walk out to see Renji flipping through pages of some sport magazine. I know he's not reading it though. He looks up and smiles.
"So, how'd it go?"
"Well, it looks like I'm going to California for this stupid ass show you signed me up for…"
"W-What!? Ichi, that's fucking great! Holy shit! See, this is what happens when you take chances!" he yells excitedly in my ear. I laugh at him as we walk out of the door.
Guess I'll start packing when I get home
Next Week
Renji drives me to the airport early, as I told him to do. We go inside and he walks me to the luggage check. I can tell he's thinking too hard by the hard lines on his forehead. He's been like this all week.
"Don't break my shit while you're house sitting." I warn
"I got it"
"And no parties, damn it!"
"I got it, I got it!" He says irritability. It's silent for a moment before he speaks again.
"So 5 months is a long time…" he starts. I sigh.
"You're the one who signed me up for this show and now that I make it, you don't want me to go. Make up your mind, Renji." He frowns even more.
"It's not that I don't want you to go, it's just…who am I supposed to talk to while you're away? I mean, I know they got phones and shit there but…" he drifts off. I give him a smug look and nudge his shoulder.
"Oh, you're saying you're gonna miss me. Well that's all you had to say Renji!"
"S-See this is why I didn't want to say anything!" he says as his cheeks turn a rosy color.
"Haha, I'm just joking. I'll miss you too man. I'll still keep in touch. But I gotta go man, don't wanna miss this flight. I'll call you when we settle in." I tell him. I bring him in for a hug. A manly hug, of course. When we release, I walk through the luggage checks and once that's done I wave to Renji one last time.
It doesn't take me long to find gate 22 or my roommates since Urahara, aka clip board man, made us wear these Mad World T.V. t-shirts he sent in the mail. Don't ask why the show is called Mad World T.V. because I have no idea. I drag my two suit cases to the carpeted area and sit next to person number one. I can't remember his name or if he even told me his name.
"Well it's nice to see you again, Ichi-kins!"
"Please don't call me that…" I mutter darkly. He was just so creepy. Speaking of creepy, this pale guy across from me is just staring directly at me. I know he's staring at me because my chair is against the wall. I really hope there's an interesting poster behind me.
"What's up with your hair?" Whitey asks me. He has the nerve to ask me something like that when he's over here being Casper the creepy ass fucking ghost!
"I was born with this hair color…" I answer calmly. I was used to questions like this. I wanted to ask him 'What's up with your skin?' but I was raised better than that.
"I bet you're thinkin' 'What's up with his skin?'" he says with a smirk. I swallow thickly. Is he some kind of mind reader?
"No I ain't a mind reader." Oh God he's in my thoughts.
"Wow, you outta see the look on your face!" he howls in laughter. A woman with seaweed colored hair smacks his shoulder lightly.
"Shiro, be nice. Sorry about that, he's an odd one. My name is Neliel but you can call me Nel and this is Shirosaki." She introduces politely. She's extremely hot. And she's got curves like no other. Good God!
"Nice to meet cha' Orange."
"It's Ichigo." I correct.
"Well, allow me to introduce you to the rest of the crew. The man sleeping in the chair over there is Starrk, the guy smiling with his headphones in his Gin, trust me, he's not as creepy as he looks." Nel tells me. Well on the bright side, this Starrk guy is kind of hot, even though he's drooling.
"Next we have Loly-"
"I can introduce myself, thank you very much. The names Loly Aivirrne, nice to meet you Ichigo." She said as she winks at me. I give a half wave.
"You know that was pretty rude." Nel told her. Loly rolls her eyes.
"Like I care."
"Ugh, whatever. I'm sure you know Luppi or at least he says he knows you."
"Somewhat. We had the audition together but that's it." I say, trying to make sure I got across the point that I didn't have any other forms of contact with the flirtatious man. I then hear Shirosaki laughing.
"We believe you, you don't have to prove anything to us, Orange." He says sarcastically.
"And the other two are here but they went to get something to eat. Their names are Nnoitra and Grimmjow."
"And hun, let me be the first to say, Grimmjow is a complete and total hottie with a body." Luppi exclaims. "He's got this thick blue hair, and sexy ocean colored eyes, ugh he is just to die for!" Sadly the only thing I got out of that description was,
"He's got blue hair?" I ask curiously.
"Yeah, you got a problem with my blue hair, Orange?" I turn to see a man that fit Luppi's description. I hate to agree with the little weirdo but my God this guy was perfection and I had just successfully pissed him off.
"Well aren't we gettin' off to a good start!" I hear Gin say as I notice one of his headphones are out. I groan to myself.
"Yeah, fantastic…"
