*The Next Day*
“Hi, is this Micki?” asked a female voice when I picked up the phone.
I was dripping wet, having raced out of the shower to answer the phone.
“Yes,” I replied catching my breath.
“Hey! This is Fatima. Call back! You’re a possibility, we need you at the studio by noon, is that cool?” she asked.
“Yeah, I’ll be there,” I said glancing at my clock, which read 10:30.
“Great! See ya,” she said and with that she hung up.
I got back in the shower and finished getting washed up. When I got out I changed into tight blue jean cargo pants and a red halter top. I slipped on my black Lugz and grabbed my bag.
I left my apartment and got into my car, deciding to get some lunch. Sometimes I almost hated Orlando. I just moved here in hopes of a career and I dont know anyone. So, Im pretty much lonely.
I walked into Taco Bell and stood in line, waiting patiently for my turn.
“What can I get you?” asked the 16 year old boy from behind the counter.
“A Mexi melt, a hard shell taco, and a Santa Fe Cheese Chalupa (yummy!!),” I answered.
“Drink?” he asked.
“Orange soda,” I replied.
“We dont have any orange soda,” he told me.
“Dr.Pepper than,” I sighed.
I got my food and sat down at a booth and began to eat.
“You’re the girl who tried out yesterday, huh?” Howie’s girlfriend asked appearing in front of me.
“Yeah,” I answered.
“Well, I already know who made it and you didnt. Dont even waste your time going today,” she advised.
“Ok, see ya there,” I said glaring at her.
“Did you not hear what I just said?” she asked irritated.
“Yeah, I heard you. See you there,” I smiled.
She growled frustrated and walked off. Hmm, what a lovely personality trait. What was Howie doing with someone like her. But, who knows. Maybe she is a nice person, just I dont know... nevermind, Im not going to try and make excuses for her bad attitude, just ignore them. Although it’ll really suck if she makes it and I make it because that would mean extra quality time with her. Hmm...
I finished my meal and got up. I threw away my trash and walked out of the door, still sipping on my soda. I got into my car and decided it was time to head over to the studio. I drove to the studio, which wasnt too full. I found Fatima and walked up to her.
“Hey, Im here,” I announced to her.
“Ok, great!” she exclaimed.
“Hey Fatima. Sorry Im late,” AJ said breathlessly running up to Fatima.
“No problem,” she smiled.
“Well, now that everyone is here, Im going to start,” Fatima told AJ.
“Ok! Listen up everyone!” Fatima yelled. I jumped, not expecting an outburst and walked over to where everyone was standing.
“We’re going to get this over with. We’ll just get to the point. After much concederation we’ve decided who the five main girls that will be dancing with the boys. With Kevin, we’re having Jennifer. Nick, Kaylie. Brian, Rosa. AJ is with Lupe. Last but not lease Howie is with Micki,” Fatima announced.
“Ok, now that everyone knows, thats it. Thank you all for trying out. It was a pleasure,” Fatima said and walked out of the studio.
I was in shock. Heather didnt even make it. I smiled and sighed.
“Bitch,” Heather growled walking past me.
“Heather!” Howie called from across the gym.
“I thought you said I made it!?” Heather yelled.
“I thought you did too. Im sorry,” he said.
I couldnt hear anything else after that, Heather decided not to embarrass Howie, but yell at him softly.
I grabbed my bag and walked out of the studio and nearly bumped into Fatima.
“Hey Micki. Here is some information on when tour is and practice times and everything like that. If you have any questions, you can call me at that number,” Fatima said handing me a piece of paper.
“Thanks,” I smiled.
“We’ll have you sign a contract Monday morning when you come in for practice, ok?” she asked.
“Thats fine,” I agreed.
I waved good-bye to Fatima and walked to my car. This was exciting! I cant wait for Monday morning!
