When I got home, I may or may not have went on my laptop, got online, and typed in 'Asami Sato' in the search box. Hey, she was a famous actress. One who I've never heard of. I'm sure you've done it too. I just wanted to see the lists of movers she's played in.
The page loaded and it showed a list of the things she starred in. The list was long and by long I mean long. Seriously, this list went on for days. I recognized some of the movers that I watched. So I have seen here but I didn't remember. How I never heard of her was beyond me. After I finished looking down the list, I went to images of Asami. There were so many pictures of her. Of course there were because I search a famous mover star. There were pictures of her walking down the red carpet, pictures of her in different places around the world, picture of her greeting fans. Every picture showed her smiling. She had a great smile. Looking at some of these pictures, her around a bunch of her fans, made me wonder how many people knew the real Asami.
I stomach growled. I put my laptop on the coffee table (which is funny because I don't drink coffee), and walked into my kitchen. It was small and simple. A sink, a fridge, a counter, cabinets. I open the freezer and looked inside. After a few moments of debating between pizza rolls and hot pockets, I choose pizza rolls because who doesn't love pizza rolls?
I took the package out the freezer and tried to pull it open. It refused. This is the thing I hate about plastic packaging. It never wanted to open. I decided not to fight it and ended up ripping the bag with my teeth. I grabbed a plate and poured all of the pizza rolls on it. I put the plate in the microwave for five minuets. Most people I knew put pizza rolls in the oven but I didn't have time for that. My stomach wanted food ASAP.
I leaned against the counter. I look at the clock on the wall. It was only five in the afternoon. My eyes then went from the clock to the phone sitting on the counter.
Spirits, was it ever going to ring?
Bolin was not lying about waiting being the worst part. It was torture. Really, it's only been two hours since Bolina and I auditioned but still. I wanted to know if I got the part. I start to feel a wave of excitement until I remebered Asami's reaction to my audition.
Was I really that bad? I've nevered acted a day in my life so of course I was nervous but the way Asami looked at me after reading those lines made me worried. Did she really not like it? Did I embarrass myself or worse, did I embarrass her? Spirits, I hoped my audition was good enough.
It's funny because I didn't want to audition in the first place but here I was, waiting to see if I got the part.
The ring of the microwave interrupts my thoughts.
I take the plate out of the microwave quickly because it was hot. As I waited for the pizza rolls to cool down, my phone rings.
I practically dive over the kitchen counter to grab the phone. I rolled onto the living room floor and answered the call.
"Hello?!" I asked, urgently
"Hey, Korra." The voice of Opal said
I sighed a huge, kind of irritated sigh. "Hey, Opal."
"You sound upset. Is this a bad time?"
"No. I'm just a little restless, waiting for a phone call."
"Phone call for what?"
"To see if I got the part in the mover."
"Oh yeah, Bolin said he took you when he went to audition. How did it go?"
"It was okay. Bolin was excited, as usual. I doubt that you called to see how my audition went. What's up?"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go out with me, Bolin, and Mako tonight."
"I don't know, I just took pizza rolls out of the microwave."
"Come on, it'll be fun."
"I literally just took them out the microwave."
"Come on Korra, the three of us haven't hung out in ages. We're going to Narook's. Your favorite place right?"
I look at my plate of pizza rolls from my place in the living room. I felt like I had betrayed them in a way.
"Fine, I'll meet you guys there."
"Great! See you there."
I hung up the phone and sighed. I walked back in to the kitchen and and put the plate back in the microwave.
"Until next time." I say before heading out the door
I arrive at Narook's. I walked in the restaurant and saw Bolin, Mako, and Opal sitting near the back in a booth. I walk towards them.
"Hey Korra." Opal greeted.
"Hey." I replied before taking a seat next to Mako.
"By the way, we ordered for you already. Seaweed noodles." Opal informed
"Thanks." I always got seaweed noodles whenever I come here.
"Okay, so I have some really great news!" Bolin said all to happy.
"What is it?" I asked
"I got the part!"
"Really?! When?!" Opal almost screamed.
"About an hour ago! I was playing video games when my phone rang. It was Varrick. He told me that I got the part!"
"That's great, bro!" Mako exclaimed.
"Congrats!" I say. I was shocked. How did he get the part so soon? We literally auditioned a few hours ago. Well, I shouldn't be too shocked because Bolin did show an amazing performance. I was really happy for him.
"Do you know who you'll be playing as?" Opal asked.
"Not yet." Bolin said. "I should know tomorrow. That's when Varrick said all the actors and actresses are supposed to meet and get their scripts."
"That's awesome, Bo." I say. "You deserve it."
"Thanks. What about you? Did you get a call yet?"
"Not yet."
"You'll get it. Don't worry."
I smile. Soon, the waiter came over with our food. When he sat down my huge bowl of noodles, I grabbed my fork and started eating. I was so hungry. The others began to eat as well.
"We got to meet Asami Sato." Bolin said out of nowhere.
Mako and Opal dropped their forks. Maok stopped chewing his piece of meat and Opal nearly choked on her food. Bolin patted her on the back.
"Asami Sato." She said in a small voice.
"The Asami Sato?" Mako asked
"Yes." Bolin confirmed. "The Asami Sato. She was the one who was watching the auditions."
"Damn it." Mako muttered. "I wish I could have went with you guys."
"You should have. You know Korra didn't know who she was?"
Opal and Mako looked at me with wide eyes.
"You don't know who she is?" Opal asked
"I do now." I said. "She's a famous mover star."
Opal rolled her eyes. "No shit." she said
"And she's okay." I continued.
"Oh please, Korra." Bolin butted in. "You know she's more than okay. The way she made you stutter and blush. She even got you to audition when you didn't want to!"
"Shut up, Bolin."
"In fact, I think dear Korra may have a crush on her."
I stood up in my seat. Well, as much as I could in a booth seat.
"I DO NOT!" I yelled.
Everyone in the restaurant looked at me. I sat back down. Mako, Bolin, and Opal just laughed at me. I crossed my arms and huffed.
"It's not funny." I muttered.
"It really is!" Bolin wheezed, laughing harder and harder. "Did you see how defensive she got?!"
They started to laugh harder. I just went back to eating my food, hoping my face wasn't as red as it felt. Spirits, my friends were true assholes.
Finally, they stopped laughing and went back to eating. After everyone had finished, we paid for our food and left the restaurant.
"Thanks for the night." I said. "It was fun until you guys started being douche bags."
"Oh stop Korra." Opal said. "We were just messing with you."
"Yeah okay."
"Well, I gotta get Opal back home." Bolin said. "I'll see you guys later."
"Bye." I said. Bolin and Opal left, leaving me alone with Mako. He turned towards me.
"Hey." He said. "Can I walk you home?"
I shook my head. "No, my place isn't too far from here. I'll manage."
"Okay. Can we talk?"
"Mako, we have nothing to talk about."
"Korra, please, I need to explain-"
"Look, we talked about it before. Okay? Let's just drop it. Besides, we're still friends right"
Mako looked down at his boots. "Right." He muttered
"Okay. Good. I'll see you later." I give him a hug that he returned quickly. I then turned and headed back to my apartment.
When I got there, I took off my shoes and decided to take a quick shower. Once I was done, I went into my room and put on a tank top and sweat pants. Then, I got into my bed a fell asleep.
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing.
I turned and looked at the clock. I wasn't even eight yet. I groaned and walked out of my room and to the kitchen counter where my phone was. I took it off the hook and answered it.
"Hello?" I say in a groggy voice.
"Korra?" It was Asami. Asami!
I quickly clear my throat so I don't sound like I just woke up.
"Hi!" I replied quickly. " Uh, yeah this is Korra."
"Good morning. I have some good news for you."
"You do?"
"Yes. I am happy to tell you that you got the part!"
