“I’m though!” he shouted, grabbing both sides of Harry’s face, “I’m through!”
And then shocking all of us equally he kissed Harry briefly on the lips then pulled quickly away.
“Woof,” Harry gasped.
“That was nasty,” Niall muttered, “I’ll stick with the lady lips thanks.”
“Which ones,” Louis chuckled as he was pushed out on stage, earning the finger from Niall, to his retreating back.
Again the six of us waited anxiously for the buzzer, which again never came, instead Louis stumbled back after several minutes, giddy with disbelief.
“Kiss me you fool!” Harry shouted, which to my surprise, he did, and then it was my turn.
“Just go out there and stand on the x,” the guy who worked backstage informed me, before shoving me forward.
Immediately the bright lights hit my eyes causing me to blink as I shuffled over to the x, and then taking a deep breath looked out at the crowd, and the four judges sat in front of me.
“Hello,” a gray haired man in a V-neck, greeted, “What’s your name.”
“Ashton,” I mumbled, “Ashton Irwin.”
“That’s a lovely accent Ashton,” a black haired woman sitting next to him complimented.
“Thank you,” I mumbled.
“Now let's get back to buisiness shall we?” the gray haired guy said, leaning back in his chair, “What are you going to sing?”
“Um…” I stammered, trying to recall the name of the sung Luke had chosen, when I told him I was auditioning, “I think it’s called Everything is Awesome
The judge on the far end who had been taking a sip of water, spewed it across the table as a collective roar of laughter sounded through the audience.
“Are you kidding?” the first judge demanded.
“Um, no?” I said slowly.
“Very well,” he sighed, “Let’s hear it.”
Nodding I gave thumbs up to the guy working backstage and the techno type music filled the air.
Clearing my throat I shuffled forward a little and started, “Everything is awesome! Everything is cool when you’re part of a team! Everything is awesome, when you’re living the dream!”
I could hear sounds in the audience although I couldn’t tell if they were cheering or laughing or booing or maybe it was a combination of the three.
I then sang through the chorus several more times before I heard the pitch change and began the rap.
“Have you heard the news? Everyone’s talking! Life is good cause everything’s awesome! Lost my job, there’s a new opportunity! More free time for my awesome community! I feel more awesome then an awesome possum! Dip my body in chocolate frosting! Three years later wash off the frosting! Smelling like a blossom, everything is awesome!....”
As I was going I became aware that no one was cheering, or laughing or booing they were just sitting there, the judges included staring up at me, watching me make a complete fool of myself. Beginning to panic I choked on the words then my mind went completely blank. All the words left my mind, and so rather than just stand there like an idiot, I winged it.
“Everything is awesome! Awesome Possum! Everything is awesome! Awesome possum! Like a great big shark on shark week! Shark bate ohh ha ha!”
Opening my mouth I was about to continue when the first judge raised his hand in the air and the music stopped. Lowering my microphone I looked out at the open mouthed audience.
“Katy, would you like to start us off,” the first judge muttered turning to the black haired woman.
“Um… sure,” she said slowly, “I don’t think we need to say much, it’s a no sweetheart.”
“Yeah, uh, it’s a no,” the woman next to her said next, alongside the stunned looking judge next to her, and then it was back to the first judge.
“Can I just say,” he said, “That was the sole worst audition we’ve ever had on this show.”
Feeling my cheeks redden I looked down at the stage.
“It’s a no,” he continued.
My heart beating in my temples I hurriedly ran off stage where the other boys were waiting.
“So?” Harry asked, “Are you going to kiss me too?”
“They said no,” I muttered.
“Really?” Niall gasped, “Sorry man, I guess you just don’t have the x factor.”
“Yeah,” I huffed, “I guess not, I uh…. I’m gonna go.”
“We’ll see you at school tomorrow!” Zayn called after me.
“Yeah, I doubt it,” I muttered under my breath, “I can never show my face again.”
Fighting back tears I made my way outside and leaning against the building pulled my phone out of my pocket and punched in the number of the only person who could possibly be more pathetic and hopeless then I was, Luke.
Guys I can not believe this story is number 78 on fan fiction right now! Thank you so much!! You guys would all defiantly sit at the greatest people you'll ever meet table. :D <3
