  You wake up at 7:00. Half hour earlier than usual since you get ready fast. You jump out of bed in a surprisingly good mood. You get ready for school. Jeans, white shirt, brown boots, and a green crop unbuttoned jacket.

     You put in F/A (fav album) in your earbuds and head off with your audition costume. By the time you arrived at school, the fog had disappeared from the morning air, and the sun glowed a beautiful orange in the sunrise rather than the bleak gray of 7:00 in the morning.

     You confront freshwater kid and ask him about the amulet. He looked nervous and was about to speak until you hear a pulsing sound. He stopped, and shorty whispers to him, "Does it feel like you're gonna, you know, change?"

     "I don't know," Freshwater says, "Uhm, I gotta go."

     They run to the boys locker room and you decide you don't have enough time to wait for them. You have to get to auditions. You run to but your costume on and walk out. By the time you make it there, Claire is finishing her oart

     You run to the drama room and Ms. Janeth asks, "Who are you?"

     " F/N L/N," You state confidently, "Auditioning for the part of Juliet."

     "Well, we are eager to see you perform." She says.

     The way she said it made you so nervous, but you continued anyways.

     You begin your audition, "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you, no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life."

     You finish and Ms. Janeth seems impressed and dismissed you. Next, you see freshwater boy walk up with a costume on. He also has that weird amulet he found on his chest. He states his name and who he is auditioning for. Jim! You think, That's what it was!

     "Destiny," He begins, "Destiny is.. a gift. Some go their entire lives living in existence as of quiet desperation. Never learning the truth, that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon our shoulders is actually a sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don't think, become."

     His blade work was impressive, as were his lines. You go to talk to him after Eli rages out, throwing his sword on the ground.

     "You were amazing up there!" You say.

     "I didn't even think, I just, said." He says.

     "That's acting!!" You say to him like he's an idiot.

     He laughs and tells you, "I'm really excited to be working with you."

You begin to walk backstage with him as you think, Is he complimenting my acting and being cocky at the same time??

     "I am as well, I guess. Your costume is.. surreal.. did you make it?" You ask.

     "No, he found a magical amulet that makes it!" His friend says.
