Chapter 22: Offended
"So many people," Kace commented as his eyes scanned the people crowded in the lobby of an audition hall, both male and female. "And all these people are going to audition for the same movie? I don’t get it," Kace added, scratching the back of his head, confusedly.
Anastasia sighed when she heard him. Nervousness gripped her, and she could feel her palms growing sweaty at the thought of the upcoming audition. She wiped her hands on her jeans, trying to steady herself, but the anxiety lingered, making it hard to focus on anything else.
Mr Arnold Jeunes, a renowned director who had directed several blockbuster movies made an announcement a few days ago about a new movie, and auditions can start a week later.
The week has finally arrived and Anastasia wanted to be in that movie. She wanted to get the lead role, a role she knew well that Michelle would be aiming for. But she knew she had little chance of getting it. Either way, Anastasia wanted to give her best performance.
"It means that whoever gets accepted gets to play a part in the movie, Kace," she responded.
"I know that. But what I don’t get is why so many people are here. I mean look, there are over 100 hundred people here who are fighting for just a role? A lot of people are going to go back home to cry their eyes out after getting rejected," said Kace.
Anastasia turned to him as she asked, "Don’t tell me you don’t know Arnold Jeunes?"
"Who the butt is that?" Kace questioned, more confusion flooding his face.
Anastasia coked an eyebrow at Kace, wondering if he had watched any movies.
