CHAPTER TWO:
I woke up at around 8:00am. I sat up in my new bed and took in my new surroundings. My bedroom wasn't huge, but it would do. I had a twin- sized bed with white sheets and a comforter. If you pulled back the red curtains covering the window to the right, you'd find a great view of the city and the beach in the distance. I stood up and made the bed. Afterwards, I got dressed and went to the kitchen. Wow I need to go shopping today. I opened one of the kitchen cabinets, and all that was there was a box of Fruity Pebbles. At least I could have my favorite cereal before I started my day.
I sit down to eat at the small table, and then I spot the paper that had Carlos' number and apartment number on it. Should I visit him today? I hesitated, and then put the information in my phone. Maybe after my audition today. I'm really nervous, but if I could get my own TV show, or even star on one, maybe I could live my dream of being an actress/singer. As I continue to eat my cereal, I think about the possibilities. I put the drained bowl into the sink and start to get ready for my audition.
I opened the door, and I see someone about to knock; it was Carlos.
"Oh hey, Carlos!" I greeted him.
He smiled and said, "Hey I wanted to ask if you wanted to hang out later."
I smiled back. "Yeah! That sounds awesome, but I have an audition to go to right now," I explained.
He asked me for what and I explained how there was a show called Big Time Rush and they needed a new character to replace Jo. Then I said that the part was to be Carlos' girlfriend, and that's when I trailed off into awkward silence. "That doesn't happen to be you, does it?" I asked awkwardly.
He replied with a "Yeah it is. I'm heading over there now. Do you need a ride?"
I said "Yeah… I'm not really sure where it is.", and smiled. He smiled back and took my hand, guiding me towards his car. I'm not very good at describing cars, but I can tell you it was blue, my favorite color. :) I climbed into the passenger seat with another pang of familiarity. I don't understand why I had these strange feelings toward Carlos, but I shrugged it off. In the car ride, I learned his favorite band was train, and he had a strong passion for music as I did. I also learned he was a certified rescue diver and he loved the ocean, like I do too! Carlos told me he would be a marine biologist if he wasn't a singer/actor. I found myself falling for him fast, but I tried to restrain from falling hard like I did with Brandon.
We pulled into the parking lot next to the set. He took me through the sets and to the auditions. I was starting to feel overwhelmed, being in a famous TV show set and all, but his hand in mine gave me a small boost of courage. When we got to the room where the auditions were being held, we said goodbye and he left, leaving me feeling a little empty inside.
Finally, I was next to audition. Now, it wasn't just the passion for acting, now I really wanted this part. It was because of Carlos. There was something beneath him, deeper, that I wanted to know. One part of me was screaming to not fall for someone so easily like I did with Brandon. Another part of me told me that Carlos was different. That I should try to find a relationship in him. I was going to put this passion into my audition today.
