The place where the auditions were held smelt dusty. Dani found the scent...annoying to say the least. It just hung there and made the room feel hot. "Dani?" A voice said and a woman was staring straight at her. Dani had to blink twice to realise who she was. Dani felt her face heat up.

"Hi....uh..... Aunt... I mean uh..... Mrs. Ophelia." She glanced around. The other people present had turned to face her. Dani looked at the teacher. "Um.... I-I'm here for the auditions..." Dani's legs started to shake.

"Dani!" Said a voice and Ryker appeared to jump out from behind her. "You came!" Dani gave him a look that said I told I would. Ryker nodded. "I'm glad you did." Ryker went up to the teacher and started to speaking to her. Dani couldn't make out their conversation. Dani noticed Tim and Ben whispering amongst themselves. From what she could make out, they appeared to be talking about Ryker. She'd caught the tail-end of their conversation though. Ryker returned to her. "The girls are first," he announced and his eyes sparkled as he went into a long description of auditions work.

"Ryker, I'm sure I know how auditions work," she laughed.

"Oh? Right.... Heh. Heh." He giggled awkwardly. "Do your best out there!" He whispered, imitating a soccer fan cheering when their team scored.

"You know, it's not 100% certain I will get a role..."

"I know," Ryker replied looking at the ground. He looked up again and then turned toward the teacher.

"First up," called the teacher. "Danielle Wolfe." Dani felt her stomach flip on itself. Ryker patted her on the back, so gentle. Though Dani figured it was friendly, she blushed.

"There's no shame in being nervous," he said gently, none of the sort brash, over-extroverted-ness tone he usually had. "Everyone is nervous the first time, I was." He pushed her forward gently. "Now, go out there and do your best." Dani was aware of people watching them, even Tim and Ben. Dani walked onto the stage.

"Wait! Ma'am, I don't have anything to audition form," Dani said.

"That's not how I do auditions Danielle... Go on," Mrs. Ophelia replied. Dani looked at Ryker for help. He appeared to be mouthing Be yourself! Sing the first thing that comes to mind! Dani closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Loathing, unadulterated loathing." The words sounded foreign to her own ears. She glanced around. The class appeared to be in either shock or disgust. Ryker, however, was beaming for a few seconds before he changed it to a flat look. Well attempted to.

"Thanks Danielle you can leave now," Ophelia said mildly. Dani scurried off the stage. Her expression was in between excitement and extreme nervousness.

Ryker joined her at the bottom of the stage. "That was.... incredible..." He said, back to his original tone of brash, over-extroverted-ness. Dani rubbed her arm.

"They didn't seem to think so," she replied casting a glance at class.

"I think they're just in shock," he said. He then rubbed one of his hands on his neck. "I'll walk you back to your dorm. If you want! That is..." Dani nodded and she and Ryker walked out of the audition room. Dani knew he knew the way to her and Catherine's dorm. As they were coming on the the dorm's door, Tim and Ben came around the other corner and stopped when they saw them. Ryker waved and walked up to them as Dani entered the dorm. Dani cast one last glance at them, Ryker appeared to have a cross look on his face probably from something Tim and Ben had said and Dani giggled a bit. Dani entered the dorm.

"How was it?" and "Oooooh" is what she was greeted with. Catherine and Kayla were on Catherine's bed. Dani gazed oddly at them, Catherine was smiling and Kayla.... Kayla was smiling as widely as the sky.

"Kayla, apparently, has more evidence for her garbage theories," Catherine explained. Kayla looked like she wanted to slap Catherine at that moment.

"My theories aren't garbage!" Dani and Catherine both rolled their eyes. Dani looked at Kayla.

"Well Theorock Holmes, spill," Dani said. "Let's see how much your garbage theories aren't actual garbage."

"Well," Kayla begun, clearing her throat."I've been observing the boys each of u-you like. I'm sure you're already acquainted with the subject of these theories: 'THEORY: Whether or not these boys like u-you back.' The boys being Ryker, Timothy and B- Well, here's my evidence... We'll do Timothy first...." Dani didn't hear the rest for she'd fallen asleep, as did Catherine. Kayla huffed. One day... One day....
