Again I own nothing
~Chapter 1~
"Hey, mom, can I use the phone real quick?" I asked from my roo, already punching in the new found phone number.
"Yeah, sure." That was so enthusiastic! Let's hear it for moms who would rather be watching their soaps than getting involved with their kids!
There were three rings then a lady picked up the phone. In my opinion she sounded whipped.
"Hello?"
"Umm, yes, is Mr. Patterson there?" I asked trying to sound as mature as a thirteen yearold could.
"He's in his office right now, could I get your name and for what your priority is to speaking to him for?" Wow it sounded like she got these calls like all day, everyday.
"My name is Maddison Williams and I wanted to ask him about the part of Maximum Ride." I said still in the same voice as before. But this time it was more confident.
"Maddison, how old are you?" Well I really hope she's not some teen sex offender....
"Thirteen. But could I ask you why my age would concern you? Not to be rude though."
"Just a simple question that asks for mr to ask when someone calls with that question. Well not really question in your case but more of a....a statment. Can I put you on hold real quick?"
I nodded."Yep."
A button was hit on her end of the phone then music began to play. It sounded sorta like Bella's Lullaby from the Twilight soundtrack. Sweet, calming, and classical; yet on the same album as som freakish rockbands. It switched to two other songs while I was on hold and I was starting to get drowsy. I wonder if she forgot about the phone.
Then another cliick came from her end of the phone. "Maddison, are you still there?" The receptionist asked. Hmm, I sould make a nickname for her. How about Phone-call-picker-upper Lady.
"Yes ma'me. I'm still here." Hello remember respect adults.
"Um, would like to speak to you. Do you mind if I forward your call to him?" Phone-call-picker-upper Lady asked.
"I don't mind."
"Alright." There was a loud beeping noise, and then a gruff voice, compaired to the Phone-call-picker-upper Lady's voice, came to be heard.
"Hello, Maddison"
"Hello ." Alrght do not speak unless spoken to. That should be a good one to remember during this conversation.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" His voice was calm as if he was talking to a little kid.
"I was wondering about the part of Max in the movie."
"Well, what do you want to know about it?"
"Umm," I hesitated. "have you gotten anyone to play the role of her? Really I haven't seen anything on actors or actresses yet."
"Nobody yet." Yes!!! "Would you like to play the part?"
"Wh-hu- Yes sir. But I don't understnd. Why are you asking me?" Stunned I was. Woah, at times like this my mind really shouldn't think like Yoda.
"Well you seem like the right pereson so far and Shelly the receptionist, agrees with me too. Here I will fax you all the paper work that you will need to fill out. Oh and we will also need a head and full body picture. After we get these back we'll try and see how you go over some of the lines. What number could I fax this to?"
Well my family isn't the richest, so my aunt's house would have to do.
"Umm 238-703-0269"
Now my mom was listening in on the conversation. Note to self: Take people off speaker phone when mom is home. She whipped out her cellphone and called Aunt Stacey. She heard the last part of me getting a fax and Aunt Stacey's number so I'm guessing she was telling her about it.
"Alright once you get it all filled out you know where to fax it back to right?"
"Yes sir."
"Alright Maddison, I hope you have a good day." His voice seemed now relieved instead of how tense it was beforehand.
"You too, , Bye."
"Bye"
I sat at the computer just staring at the blank screensaver. But was this a dream? Did James Patterson really just ask me to be Max in the movie? I really don't care, but if it is a dream, I really hope I never wake up.
