Wesleys POV.

They band was overjoyed. The audition couldn't have gone any better. In about a week they would go to Miami, boot camp. They days went way to slow for Wesley. He was ready to let the world see what he has got. Between practicing and surfing he did find his thought go back to the first audition. How L.A. said they loved them and especially Demi giggling at hem. It was like a dream come true. But on the other hand, they still had a long way to go. Wesley had to keep his feet on the ground, concentrate.

And then finally the day came, boot camp started. It wasn't as much chaos as the audition day but you still saw people singing everywhere. It was like being in a whole other world. Wesley was looking at the other groups, but truthfully he didn't see them as big competition, or competition at all. They we're all the same 'boy band thing' while Emblem3 was unique, had something different about them. After waiting a few hours the groups got called in. They had to sit and watch the other groups perform until it was their turn. Wesley even found himself annoyed by the people who sang before them. He could so that so much better. Then L.A. asked for them to perform. 'Iris' from the Go Go Dolls was the song they choose. When they finished the judges didn't say anything to them but Wes did overhear Simon say something
'I think the guy with the head is by far the best of them.' It took Wesley a moment to realize he was talking about him. When he looked at his friends walking from the stage next to him he saw their relaxing faces. They hadn't heard Simon, that was a good thing. He didn't want them to feel bad, they were one band and nobody was better, they were equal. It might not be a realistic thought but it kept peace and mostly a relaxing atmosphere in the band. That was more important then begin the best.

Wesley went to the bathroom later on while Keaten and Drew spent some time playing football with some other contestants. When Wesley stepped back in the hall he bumped into someone. A girly scream came out of the mouth from the other person. When Wesley looked up he saw Demi's face. This was the first time he met one of the judges while he wasn't performing.
'O, I'm so sorry.' Demi said.
'No, no it's my mistake.' Wesley said 'Are you okay?'
'Yeah, I'm fine', Demi answered 'You're one of Emblem3, right?'
'Yeah, I'm Wes or Wesley', he smiled 'Whatever you like best.'
'Wes it is,' Demi said smiling back.
Wesley couldn't help but notice how cute her smile was. Of course he had seen it on the television back home, but in real live it was so much more beautiful. In fact, she was really pretty. Someone called her name, saying they'll start eliminate people in few minutes.
'If you excuse me', Demi said continuing in a sad voice 'I'll go crush down people dreams right now.'
'Good luck with that', Welsey waved 'A fun job you have.'

Not much later the groups were called to come on stage. The judges were sitting in front of them. They called some names who had to step forward. Emblem3 wasn't one of them. Then the name calling stopped and Demi started talking. Wesley saw that she was having a hard time. She was going to let the people know who didn't make it through. Not something easy to do and Demi took it very personally. Wesley admired that about her. Even though it isn't a good feature to have when you're being a judge.

'For the people who stand in front', Demi said 'this is the end of the show, I'm sorry.' People started crying and some even dropping on the floor. Wesley was so focus on them that it took him a moment to realize that he made it. He wasn't going home like the people who stood in front of him. He hugged Drew and Keaten who were jumping around out of excitement. Slowly the people who didn't make it left the stage. The judges congratulated the people still standing and then everybody left the stage. Wesley saw Demi walking to the door and speeded up his steps so he walked next to her.

'You did good', he said. 'Are you okay?'
She looked at him. 'Yeah, it just sucks.' she said quietly.
'They knew were they signed up for, no guarantees.' He said, trying to make her feel better.
She smiled. 'You have a point, but you probably wouldn't say that if you stood in their shoes.'
'Well, we'll see when I get eliminated', He laughed 'But that probably won't happen.'
'Arrogant much?' she said laughing.
'Never.' he answered. He knew he could be a little arrogant sometimes, but confidence isn't a bad thing he always thought.
'Euh..' Demi said looking behind him. 'You're band mates are make crazy faces and stuff.'
Wesley turned around. Where Drew and Keaten were jumping around and doing weird stuff to embarrass him.
He looked back at Demi. 'O, I don't know them.' he said shaking his head.
'I would say the same thing', she said laughing 'But I have to go anyways, see you later.'
'Yeah, maybe at your home, would be fun.' His eyebrows went up and down in a flirty way.
Demi walked and didn't reject to his flirting, but he saw her laughing. The next step in the competition were the judges homes, Wesley was curious, it could be Demi's.

'What was that?' Drew said to Wesley later on 'Flirting and stuff?'
Wesley didn't say anything but his face said it all. He was flirting.
'Remember to stay serious, this isn't like any other girl.' Drew warned his friend. 'There is a lot at stake.'
'Relax, it's nothing' Wesley ensured him even though his heart said something else.
