"Number 61… number 61" The director shouted across the sea of applicants. "Number 61 are you here!"

"Wait, wait I'm here" I replied a bit timid

"Well then read the line" The director said a bit callously

"Um… okay" Letting out a long breath I tried to relax.

I had been practicing for this part for days and I could only hope that I could maintain the character's motivation. One more breath and I began to read.

"Is this the bus stop?"

"Yes" The director said.

"Thank you" I replied in character.

"Okay. I think you will be fine for passerby number 8. Please be ready for practice tomorrow." The director said, waving me off in order to audition the rest of the chorus.

I squealed a little inside as I walked off of the stage. Okay sure it was two lines, but I Spencer Carlin was going to be in a play. I started to pull out my cell phone when suddenly I got shoved from behind. I stared in silent horror as my phone fell into the orchestra pit.

"Watch it!" snarled the girl who had just hit me.

I wanted to say something rude back, but another voice stopped me.

"Don't mind Ashley she just has this mental problem. She doesn't understand that she's not the most important person in the universe."

I laughed in spite of myself quickly enjoying my conversation with this cute guy.

"I'm Aiden" he said extending his hand.

"Spencer" I said returning his greeting

"And though she's not the most important girl in the universe she probably was on her home planet" I joked.

"Haha, hey you're pretty funny. So what are you trying out for in the show?"

"Oh, well I just got the lead part. The stunning, vivacious, complex character of… passerby number 8." I smiled to show that I was joking. Realizing that he was starting to laugh I hit him in the arm.

"What's so funny" I said mock upset.

"Nothing, nothing that's quite the accomplishment. I'm embarrassed to tell you what I do now" He replied sarcastically.

"Just shut up and tell me" I smiled

"Haha okay, okay. I work the backstage stuff: lighting, sound checks, and anything else you can think of." He said apparently quite proud.

So do you live around here? He asked

"Um yeah I live…"

"Aiden!"

I turned and saw that the command came from none other than Ashley. She stood impatiently with a few other girls.

"Aiden, are you coming?" she repeated.

"Um yeah Ash." He replied a bit annoyed.

As Ashley came closer I must have fallen into her radar because she looked from me to Aiden with a who is this? Look.

Not missing a beat I put my hand out, stuck a smile on my face, and said "Hi I'm Spencer Carlin"

"Ashley Davies" she said, simply staring at my hand. As if not enough of an insult she went on.

"And seeing as you are only a part of the chorus I suggest you try and not get in my way."

With that retort she was on her way, while I stood there stunned.

"God what a…"

"It was great meeting you, I'll see you around Spencer" Aiden said as he left trying to catch up with Ashley and her friends.

I stood there assessing this new person. That Ashley would be so pretty if only she wasn't slightly deranged. I smiled at the thought and went home.
