Auditions

After a few more practice sessions, Martin decided to hold a practice audition right before the actual audition.

"I'm bringing a couple of friends over to act as judges with me and we'll give you some feedback for you to use during the actual audition," Martin said as Sam and Daniel sat down.

The two nodded and talked for a little bit before a knock was heard. Martin hurriedly stood and rushed towards the door.

"Hello! It has been so long since I've seen you!" he said as he ushered in a woman in a thick down white coat. She was wearing a red beret and a grey scarf that covered the bottom half of her face. The only features that could be seen were her blonde hair and kind twinkling blue eyes.

"Martin, I would say the same! Have you gotten slimmer again?" she asked as she hugged Martin.

Martin scoffed, "Then the diet of cookies and chocolate milk really works. You flatter me too much Sarah."

Sam's eyes went wide. "Is that the Sarah I'm thinking of?" he thought.

Martin slid out of Sarah's embrace and turned towards Sam and Daniel, "I'd like to introduce both of you to the one, the only, Sarah Willis!"

The lady unwound her scarf and revealed smiling petite features.

Sam almost shouted in excitement, but he kept a cool face so that he did not look like a fool in front of his idol.

Sarah Willis was a top supermodel and she had hosted many popular shows. Every household in America would know who she was! She was also famous worldwide, but not as much as she was in America.

"Hello, I am Jupiter Aleado, but I prefer to be called Sam, "said Sam as he bowed, restraining himself from running up to her and asking her for her autograph.

Sarah burst into laughter, "Aww, you're so polite. That's pretty cute."

Daniel stepped forward. "Hello, I am Daniel Kane," he said casually.

Sarah smiled at the two. "It is very nice to meet you both."

A knock was heard and Martin zoomed towards the door and pulled it open to reveal a man that had a dominating aura. He seemed to be in his early 50's and had well-kept hair that was peppered with white. One could tell instantly that he was someone of high position and power. The man strode into the room.

"You two must be Sam and David. I am Reginald Maruvia, the advisor to Karl Wall and trainer of the rank S trainees. "

This was a man with a lot of power and connections. Since he had trained many S-rank trainees, he had many connections with large figures in the entertainment world. He was also the advisor to the Chairman of Silver Castle. It was also known that he held lots of power in other industries.

Reginald held out his hand to Daniel who shook his hand respectfully. He then turned to Sam and shook hands with him.

"I've heard a lot about you two from Martin. I'm expecting great things. Don't let it get to your head though, keep calm and humble."

"Thank you Mr. Maruvia, I've also heard a lot about you."

Reginald smiled. "Please, call me Reginald."

A series of rhythmic knocks were heard before the door swung open and a handsome youth with bleached silver hair poked his head in. Two other heads also peeked out, one with crimson red hair and the other with teal green hair. Sam almost burst into screams. They were his favorite idols and he had a crush on all of them.

"Can we come in?"

Martin nodded and the three moved away from the door and into the room. All three were tall and well built.

"These three are the members of FTC, a famous idol group. The one with silver hair is Oliver, he's the leader of the group. The one with red hair is Charles, he's the main dancer. Wess is the one with the teal hair, he's the main singer."

Oliver gazed at Sam, intrigued by his mesmerizing looks. Sam's black silky hair was slightly ruffled, and his casual clothing showed off his lean but powerful body.

Oliver walked up to Sam with his hand held out, "Hello, what's your name?"

Sam almost couldn't hold himself back from jumping Oliver. "My name is Sam, it's very nice to meet you."

The other members of FTC also shook hands with Sam and then Daniel.

Sam: I'll never wash this hand!

Oliver looked at the dazed boy who had cherry blossom pink lips that were slightly parted. They looked more tantalizing than any dessert.

The five people who had just arrived all sat down on the couch

"Okay, now that everyone's here, we'll begin with the auditions," said Martin as he joined the others on the couch.

"Okay, Sam, go first. General giving a speech to pump up an army low on morale just before a war. Improvise."

Sam immediately schooled his faced into neutrality before his face morphed into one of confidence. His back straightened and his eyes glowed with fervor.

"Men. I know they outnumber us. But we are more skilled, we have tactics. We have something more to fight for than land! For our families. For our friends. For the city we love! If we fall, the city fall too! We will not let them take the city!"

As he shouted that last line, his face was filled with ferocity and rage, his stance was dominant. One could clearly picture him in armor facing rows of soldiers. The judges felt their blood pumping and fighting spirit raised.

The judges clapped and Oliver looked appreciatively at Sam. Inwardly, Martin was beaming, but he was trying to keep a cool face to make the audition experience as real as possible.

"Your next theme is: confessing to your school crush."

WE REACHED 500!

I'm so pumped, and thank you! I finally have things planned out now, I was making it up as I wrote before, but now, there is an actual plot line. I'll try to be faster now, but there's a chance that I'll have to do something for school or at home, so I might not have enough time to write a chapter. Later, I'll go in and fill in the plot holes and make some changes here and there, check for grammar, phrasing, and add more descriptions.

I have a paragraph due for English tomorrow and I need to type it up now. No chapter after this though I was planning to :(.

I'm still pretty young, so my grammar or use of words might be bad here and there, but please bear with me. I also don't know if my descriptions are too cringy, give me some advice plz.

Also, thank you to the people who voted for my story!
