"THE APPLICANT'S TEST"


TRIS'S POINT OF VIEW

"Five hundred thousand" Caleb says and my chin falls down. "Beatrice, I know it is a crazy, and a stupid plan, but it is our only option. We have to do this"

"Yeah, I know, but… I even know what to do in that show." I say a little puzzled.

"Do you want help our parents" He says and I nod slowly. "Well, listen to me. We are going to audition for that TV show, and we going to try to win the award, okay?" I nod again.

"But what is that program about"

"Read the third and fourth requirements" He gives me his computer, in it there are so many black small letters. I start to read it, aloud.

3. You must be willing to live in the Big Brother house located in Los Angeles for approximately 100 days on such dates to be determined by Producers in their sole discretion with approximately a dozen strangers where you will have little or no privacy. If you are chosen to live in the house, it is your responsibility to make any necessary arrangements with your employer and family in anticipation of your extended absence from home.

4. The house is extensively outfitted with video and audio recording devices which will record, broadcast and exhibit your actions and voice at all times, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week in every room of the house for the duration of your participation in the contest. You will be observed at all times by the Producers as well as the general public watching on television, the Internet, mobile devices and any and all other media.

"Caleb, b-b-bu-b-but I can't live with a dozen of stranger approximately three months without privacy. They're going to be watching me while I am taking a shower. Caleb I can't do this." I say returning his computer to him.

"Beatrice, the idea doesn't like me so much, but we have to do it for our parents." He says. My brother Caleb is always like this; he is selfless and solidary. Sometimes I feel jealous for him, because I don't have that strong to resign to myself, but somehow I gather the strong enough for say:

"I'll do it" He smiles at me, and we start.

"Well, first we need to do a video about us. You need to talk about you and…"

"Talk about me? Caleb. Even you know anything about me." I say and it's true. I never talk about myself with other persons. My secrets and my reserved personality are like a shield that keep me save.

"I know it, but you only need to talk about you, without modesty. I can help you if you want."

"Continue" I say.

"Like I was saying, you need to do a video talking about you, and telling them why do you want to be in Big Brother, and why do you think that you can win." But I don't think that I can win I think in my mind. "You need to take a picture of you and then complete some questions. It not so difficult"

"Yeah it isn't, we only need to give all our information to a couple of strangers. Anything that someone doesn't do every day, right?" I say sarcastically and he rolls his eyes.

We take our photos first. Caleb is so handsome in his one. He is tall and you can see his green eyes and his highs cheekbones, and his short brown hair. The mine it not pretty.

My complexion is thin, but despite that I'm not exactly flat, but instead have much more butt than normal girls, whom many girls envy it, but I really hate have a big butt, partly because it does not seem attractive to me and gets a lots of bad intentions. My breast is not as big as my butt but a considerable amount.

Is true, I'm not high, but enough to have pale, long legs. Also I have big blue eyes that I've always had, with long lank eyelashes attached to them and the blonde hair with golden light flashes in my head. My lips are a little plump but not overdone, and are defined, curved, and slightly wider.

I don't like my aspect, but I think that I can't do anything.

"Well I'll do my video first, it mustn't last more than three minutes. Can you help me?" he says giving me the camera. When I'm recording he talk about what does him like; book, philosophy and mechanic topics. He says that he thinks that he could win because he is smart and cans do friend quickly. He talks too about our parents and for what we need the money. Before I can notice it, I'm in front of the camera and my hand sweat and I need to clean it in my pants.

"Calm down Beatrice, you can do it. Remember say that you are smart, brave and selfless" Caleb "animates me.

"But I'm not selfless or…"

"Forget the modesty"

"I'm not being modesty"

"Only do it"

"Okay"

"And… start" I feel nervous when he finish to say that but I have courage yet. For my parents.

"Hello. My name is Beatrice Prior" In my mind that sounds good but when I say it sounds ridiculous.

"But I go by Tris. I'm a girl introverted with twenty one years, I'm not really nice but I do what I can. My favorite color is blue, because the water and the sky when is summer in Chicago, is of that color. I'd like the music and the pictures or arts, I'd like sing too but I don't do it usually. I'd like story books too and the school books. I'm not good fitting with the people but I have many friends. I think that I can win because…"

My mind is in blank but if I want to get in the casting I need to really talk what I am thinking so I do it.

"Because my brother and my parents say that I'm smart, brave and selfless, I really don't think so but I accept it. "I" think that I can win because I can be separated of my friends and my house without problems" well I'm lying right now.

"I'm studying in the university, but I want to enter in Big Brother because my parents need the money of the award and I want to give it to them if I win. I really want to help in what I can." I haven't notice that my eyes were burning in fire and the tears were about fall. I'm not of that girls that cry for whatever but I'm sensitive and that is not exactly whatever.

"I really need an opportunity. I want to be in the program, even though, I am not going to have privacy, thing that I hate, but I can do it for my parents. "

"Court. That was very good "Tris" He says doing emphasis on "Tris"

"Thanks Caleb. Let's answer the questions"

The phone rings and I go running to answer it. I'll still living in my parent's house. They don't know anything about the Big Brother audition. Caleb and I were waiting the results for tell them but seems that we don't be accepted. When I put the phone in my ear I say.
