Chp 12

We were at the hotel where Joe had already reserved rooms for us. For me, a room for Rebecca and Caitlin and one for Catherine and Max. The rooms were HUGE and looked comfortable. A big bed, a TV, a fridge and more. We brought the bags into the rooms and while the others unpacked, Joe and me went to a park near the hotel. Time for us two alone. We walked in silence but I couldn't stand it.

"Joe…" I started.

"No Alex," he interrupted.

"Joe listen. I don't know how long I can stay. Certainly not for long."
"Yes, I thought about that, but I didn't find a solution."
"Yes, I know…" we sat down on one of the benches. Amazingly there were no screaming girls surrounding us. I enjoyed it.

'ring ring ring ring' It was Joe's phone.

"Yes, that's awesome! Great thankyou!" then he hung up, he grinned.

"What?" I asked curious.

"I've got great news."
"Yes, I know that. But what IS IT?"
"Calm down, guess what?"
"WHAT! Joe, seriously."

"There is an audition for 2 people to continue the Hannah Montana series.

"And you mean…"
"Yes, my agent signed you and one of your friends, I forgot who, up for the audition." He grinned.

"He did…" 'ring ring'

My phone interrupted me.

"Hello? Really? He did? See ya there!"

Seemingly Joe had signed up Rebecca with me. The audition was later that day, at 7 in the evening. Rebecca was already waiting in the lobby. She came running up to me.

"OMG OMG OMG OMG! I can't believe this is REAL!" she shrieked.

"Calm down."

"Alex and Rebecca, please come in," a voice said. Now I also started to get nervous.

"Hello, we're gonna do a scene from 'Would I lie to you Lilly," a young woman said, as we walked in. We needed to present a short conersation from one of the episodes.

"Go ahead," an older man said.

"You see that smile? Cus of me, that laugh, I did that. Sometimes a little lie can make it all good." I recalled that line,after watching the episode like 500 times.

"And sometimes a little red hat can make that all go away." The older man said, playing Oliver's role.

"Huh?" I said, putting on my best confused face. "Oh no, the guy that I bribed to buy Lilly's hat was Blabby Bobby's daddy." They laughed.

"You know this wouldn't happen if we were in Italy, they wear beras," he said.

"That's france," I said putting on my annoyed face, they laughed again," Now just distract her."

"How?"
"Lilly! Oliver is having problems breathing."
"I am?" I faked a punch, in the air.

"I think it's a reaction of being underground. Try to relax him, I'll go to get Corally." I said, Rebecca came in now.

"OK, oh, hey hey Oliver, you a little nervous here?"
"She …help."

"Yes, I know. Miley's getting help, don't worry, you're gonna be fine."
"Thankyou." The older guy said, writing something down, they clapped.

"So Alex, tell us about yourself." They asked.

"Well, I just turned sixteen and I'm from Australia. I have the lot mum, dad, brother, sister, niece, brother in law." I laughed "and a boyfriend."

"Yes we heard." The younger woman said. "Well Alex, you did great today, and will give a call once we know." She said.

"Thankyou so much," I said, shaking each of their hands. We walked outta the door and literally fell into Joe's arms.

"OMG!" I said.
