Chapter 4 : The Results

Though the performance went well, obviously I was worried about the results, after all this was my first step towards my dream.

My bubble of thoughts was burst when I heard my name loud and clear at the audition hall. I gathered my senses to the fact that my name was the first to be on the "selected" list. I did a little happy dance in my mind although I wanted to scream on top of my voice, I smiled and kept cool. I could sense the happiness on my mom and dad's face when they hear this. Also, Lana and Nate are going to be so happy. 'WHDT here I come' I murmured to myself.

One after the other the names were called out and I was eagerly waiting for Tina's name to be called out. It wasn't very long that I knew Tina but I felt this bond already developed between us. That's what happens, some people suddenly walk into our lives and we get a feeling that they are meant to stay, just like Lana and Nate. It's not just because I developed a bond with Tina that I wanted her in because she did justice to the stage by performing like a Rockstar

One by one the series of names ended and I definitely did not hear Tina. My heart sank and though she had plastered a smile on her face, deep down she wanted to cry. This was definitely not fair. "See I told you, that muse got in, I didn't" Now it clearly struck me that she was right, she told me about this and I did not believe her. "Tina, we cannot just sit quiet, we need to do something." I said, to which she said "Babe, go celebrate this for yourself, moreover nothing can be done."

I was thinking of what could be done, and then something came up to my mind, "Hop along, we need to be somewhere right now" I said, "what are you saying? where? " she asked with a puzzled expression. I took her to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was a place that was always buzzing, moreover, you can find all the seniors as well as juniors here. As we reached she said "Emma, I am so happy for you but honestly not in a mood for a party, maybe next time" I told her "I want you to dance, right here, right now" Her jaw dropped "What! I figured out you are a little crazy, you proved it" I said "Just shut up, this is your chance to be in the team, once you start showing your moves there will be a buzz and then this will reach the other members of the committee and they will be shocked to hear you are not in the team " She wore a smile and said "wow ! but what if this does not work?" I said, "Well if not, do you have anything to lose?"

She started dancing, she occupied several areas and even the tables, at first people thought she is crazy but they started to enjoy her act. I was just hoping for other members to show up, it worked as planned, the dance team choreographer himself showed up. After the performance, he walked up to her and said "Woah, you have got some moves, why didn't you audition for the dance team?" She said "I did and could not get in" to which he said "well, you just did"

She came to me and hugged me "I owe you one babe" to which I said "well, the treat is on you then" and we walked into the cafeteria with happy faces.
