Debi's POV
I'm with my best friend, Taiko, and we’re already in the line for the audition at Center Stage: Spotlight Academy.
I was busy on my phone while Taiko is listening music with her earphones on when suddenly the people outside screams. All of us inside got curious until we saw the Star Girlz and The1 enter the door with escorts.
“Why are they here?” – Taiko whisper at me
“Who knows, they might actually want to join the audition” – I jokingly said, we both giggle.
We saw pairs of shoes in front of us, so we raise our heads to see who they are. The Star Girlz just stop by.
“Did you two laugh just now, what’s so funny, were you talking about us?” – Piper said.
"Why do you think, we're talking about YOU?" - I said and stand up.
"Who are you to talk to me like that?" - Piper, she looks annoyed.
I smirked at her and stare at her for a minute before talking.
“Not everything is about you, so mind your own business” – I said
“Debi” – Taiko is trying to stop me
“Wow, the nerve of you to answer me that way” – Piper said.
She was going to slap me but someone slap her hand first.
“Ouch!” – Piper said.
“What’s your problem?!” – Carol said.
“What’s YOUR PROBLEM, making a scene in the audition, this is not your territory, so stop acting as queens” – number three hundred seventy-two (372), I saw her number
“You - ” – Freya didn't even finish her words.
“Let’s just go” – Tina said.
“Wait, are you on their side?” – Freya said.
“I’m siding no one, let’s just go, everybody’s watching” – Tina said.
"Let them watch, it's entertainment, that's what they want" - Carol said.
"You're already immune to scandals, fighting is not new to you" - Number three hundred seventy-two (372) said.
"Hey!" - Tina said.
"What, am I wrong?" - Number three hundred seventy-two (372) said.
They stared at each other intensely until we heard Ms. Lucille's voice.
“Girls!” – Ms. Lucille’s voice from the door. Ms. Lucille walk towards us.
"We are so not over!" - Carol said.
"I'll be waiting" - I respond
“That's enough, girls get inside, now” – Ms. Lucille said.
The Star Girlz, except Tina, rolled their eyes on us before leaving. Taiko stop me by holding my wrist, I was going to follow and hit those girls.
I notice the tension between number three hundred seventy-two(372) and Tina. I saw resentment in number three hundred seventy-two's (372) eyes towards Tina and the awkwardness in Tina's eyes towards number three seventy-two. Looks like they knew each other, hmmm, I want some tea.
“Can you calm down” – Taiko whisper at me
"I am" - I said
"Really, you promised no fighting" - Taiko said.
"And I still can keep that, nothing happened" - I said
“Everyone, get back in the line” – Ms. Lucille said.
I was once a fan of Star Girlz and the worst is, that Piper was my bias. I think I'm gonna puke thinking about it.
I followed number three hundred seventy-two(372) to say thank you.
"Wait" - I grab her hand, she looked at me
"Sorry, I was just gonna say thank you for helping me back there" - I said
"No worries, even I didn't step in I know you can handle it. Just so happen that I already had a bad day, and watching a fight is not a good thing for me" - she said
"So you join instead of watching" - I whisper to myself
"What?" - she asked.
"Ah, nothing. By the way I'm Debi" - I introduced myself and reach out my hand for a shake hands
"Melody" - She responded and shook my hand.
"And that's my best friend, Taiko" - I said while pointing at Taiko
She just nodded and then went back to her line. Hmmm, did I just get ignored? Oh well, that's fine, she had a bad day she said, then I won't bother her for now.
I went back to my seat.
"Make a new friend already?" - Taiko asked
"I don't know, but she's cool, I like her" - I said
"Yeah, kinda brave, did you ask her name?" - Taiko said.
"Yeah, her name is Melody" - I said
Time past, the audition goes on until it's my turn.
"222" - Staff
"Here" - I raised my hand.
"Best of lucks!" - Taiko said to me.
I went inside the audition room. When I got inside, I smiled from ear to ear because finally I saw Mr. Harrison Wayne in the flesh. This is one of the best days of my life!
"Deborah Paterson?" - Ms. Jenny said.
"That's me, Ms." - I respond
"Okay, let's see what you've got" - Ms. Amy
