1st Day

Leia's POV

I slowly sit up on my bed, squinting from the harsh light pouring through my window. It takes me a minute to process my surroundings. I'm in my room. Everything's fine.

I try to remember why I would have such a splitting headache this morning. Oh yeah, probably from all the crying of yesterday night. Last night was my last night with my friends from my old school. I had to move schools since we moved houses to be nearby my mom's new work. I didn't really want to spend Christmas crying with all of my best friends but it was my last day.

But on the bright side, today I get to audition for this amazing place called Lost and Found, the perfect place to start a career as a musician. The place is awesome and I really hope to get in. I hope I'm a good enough singer.

I get up and get dressed. I have to present myself well today for my first impression. I put on a plain black t-shirt and a light pink jacket over it along with my flower print leggings. I just leave my hair down because it looks fine as it is and apply some mascara.

I hop into the car with anticipation. This is gonna be the longest car ride of my life!

"Are you ready, honey?" my mom snaps me out of my thoughts.

"I'm so ready. Can you drive a bit faster?" I ask..

"Don't worry, we'll be there in time. We'll be there super early so that you can practice plenty before your audition. I'm so nervous for you, I don't know if you'll get in," she says while sighing.

Way to be my rock, mom.

After what I assume to be hours, we arrive at the building and I can already tell I'm gonna love it here, if I make it in. But of course I will. Confidence!

"Ok, mom, bye!" I yell while running in through the snow. I hear a faint,"Good luck," in return.

I walk around the halls hoping to find a good place to practice the audition song when I hear some singing coming from around the corner. I go down into what I remember is called "Busker Alley". The singing coming from there is beautiful. She sounds really good. I'm more nervous now.

I peak around and tap on the shoulder of the back who's facing me. She jumps a little and looks at me with an annoyed glare.

Oh no.

"Hi. My name's Leia and I'm auditioning today. Are you auditioning, too?" I ask.

"Duh," she answers, short and sweet.

After a long and awkward pause I ask, "Um so what's your name?" 

"Rachel."

"Cool, cool."

"Can you go away now?" she asks rudely. 

"Oh um yeah sure I'll let you get back to your practicing," I don't know what I was thinking. I thought I would be able to just make a friend with the first person I see, but I guess it's not really my fault seeing as she's the rude one. I hope I won't have to interact with her again anytime soon.

Luke's POV

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Today is audition day and I've never been more excited. I've already heard so many talented singers and musicians. 

I'm especially excited because this is my first audition day with my girlfriend, Maggie. Well this isn't my first audition day with her; we've both been here for years. But this is my first time with her as my girlfriend and honestly, I am so glad we finally came out of the friend-zone months ago. I think I might... be in love with her.

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of a crash. I look down beside me where Maggie should be standing, but instead she's on the ground beneath another girl with long, beautiful brown hair. She looks up with an embarrassed look on her face and in her... big, brown eyes.

"I am so so so so sorry! I should've watched where I was going! Oh goodness, this is a disaster," she whispers in her amazingly soothing voice. 

What is this girl doing to me?

"Yeah you should've looked where you going. This was a new shirt!" Maggie yells while trying to dust the cold drink from her shirt. Usually Maggie isn't this mean, but she's been a little cranky lately and this probably pushed her over the edge.

"Don't you usually keep an extra shirt in your bag? Just wear that," I remember. Suddenly I catch myself checking out the other girl, noticing that her shirt is significantly more damaged. 

"You're right. I'll just go change into that," she starts to walk off.

"Wait," I whisper while grabbing her arm, "her shirt's more damaged than yours and I'm pretty sure she's auditioning today so shouldn't you give the shirt to her?" I ask.

"I cannot believe you would even suggest that. It's my shirt and it's her fault for bumping into me," she whisper-shouts. I glance over at the pretty girl whose visible confusion is apparent in her eyes.

"But she's auditioning today. I'm sure she's already dying on the inside from the whole ordeal," I suggest. 

"Fine. But I will not be forgetting anytime soon that you chose stranger over me, who's supposed to be," she grabs the extra shirt out of her bag and chucks it at the other girl, "your girlfriend."

"I'm not choosing her over you I'm just-"

"It's fine. Whatever," she interrupts. 

The other girl quickly slips into the bathroom and then back out. The shirt fits her pretty nicely. 

"I'm sorry about my girlfriend, Maggie. She's usually not that mean I promise," I give her a friendly smile."My name's Luke," I say as I hold out my hand for her to shake.

She reaches out and shakes my hand causing a shock to run through, "Leia. And although this has been very eventful and I would love to stop and make a new friend, I've got an audition song to practice," she says while wrinkling her nose in this really cute way that-

Snap out of it. You have a girlfriend whom you love very, very much.

But she is beautiful.

Leia's POV

I cannot believe I just walked into that girl- Maggie- and spilled my drink all over us. I am such a klutz!

And usually I would fall for and be all over any boy that acted with such chivalry like Luke just did, but for some reason I'm not really feeling anything there. I mean, he's cute, but not "fawning all over" cute.

Now the boy that I just spotted walking towards me- he's cute. Wait is he walking towards me or walking towards me? Oh he's actually walking towards me to talk to me. I'll just have to play it cool. Breathe, Leia.

"Hey, my name's Theo. Just thought I'd introduce myself to all the auditionees. What's your name?" he asks. 

Oh goodness I'm gonna screw this up.

"M-my name's Leia. S-so Theo, would you say I have a g-good chance of making it in?" besides the stuttering, I think I managed to play it cool.

"Well, there a lot of open spots. But I'll have to actually hear you to decide. Go ahead and sing something," he urges.

"Um no. I'm not ready to yet," I say nervously.

"Well you'll have to be. Here at Lost and Found, we are not only musicians but performers. You've gotta be ready to perform for everybody at any moment-"

"And I will be. Just not right now," I interrupt- kind of rudely, might I add. I might've just ruined his whole perception of me. To distract him from that I quickly add, "So have you introduced yourself to a girl named Rachel? I did earlier."

"Oh Rachel? Yeah I remember her. A true ray of sunshine," he says while making hand motions. I giggle a little.

He starts to walk away before turning back around and asking, "Is that Maggie's extra shirt?"

"This would be it, yep."

"Maggie must really like you in order to have given that to you."

"Actually, no. Luke convinced her to give it to me."

"Oh," his face goes dark for a second, "well then. I wish you all the luck in the world."

"For wha-"

"Bye!"

John's POV

I walk over to the love of my life and the light of my world. 

Michelle.

"Hey, you know what today is?" I ask while hugging her from behind.

"Of course. Happy one year anniversary!" she screams while laughing and jumping into my arms.
