Monday morning at school. Pauline was looking to her mobile every hour to see if Jesse had called ot texted. No to both. She sighed every time when she sees that he didn't hake a move to apologise and that make more pissed.
Pauline and Ava have already finished their lunch and were heading to the class. Walking in the hallway there was a notice on the bulletin board. They both wanted to see what's this time. There was a group of people looking at it with their eyes wild open. Ava was the one that read it first. "Oh my God! Pauline lok at that!" Pauline was behind her and came next to her and read.
This year our school with the help of our talented students will upload the show of 'Romeo and Juliet'! If you want to be part of it just make an aplication!
Audition will start on Thrursday 19th of Septembre for the female roles
And Friday 20th of Septembre for the male roles.
Pauline's eyes rolled as she read it. Ava was so exited about it. "Ava, that's wonderfull! You'll go to the audition right?" "Of course and i'll go! And not alone....." Ava said and both walked away. "Oh yeah, with Alex! Isn't it weird that you both want to be actors?" "I wouldn't say weird, i like more fated!" "Yeah, that's better....." Pauline answered and pulled out of her pocket her phone.
"Did Jesse called?" "Nope, he didn't!" "The best scenario i can come up with is maybe uncle Jon killed him....." Ava joked and Pauline froze. "Nah, i don't think he's that cruel!" "You better change your mind. Your future father-in-law when he's mad you better hide somewhere!" "Why everyone keep telling me that Jon will be my father-in-law?" she asked with a weird look on her face. "Because he'll be! I can picture you and Jesse in the future!" Ava answered with the thinking look on her face. "Keep dreaming princess!" Pauline answered and walked a few steps forward leaving Ava behind. "What don't tell me that you don't want it! Come on i can see it in your eyes......" Ava said when she came next to her.
Pauline stoped and looked at her "Oh, do you relly want to start a Jovi conversation, don't you?" "That will be nice!" "No, i try hard not to start it! Because once i start it i'll never stop! Plus, i'm not in the mood of it and i don't want to change your mind!" "Why should i change my mind?" Pauline sighed. "Look, you know that Richie is my farourite right?" Ava nobbed. "You have no idea what we fans say or think about them! And i don't want to scear the hell out of you! Let's say that you forget that i'm a Jovinator!" "We're ok... for now! One day i want you to feel free about that!" Ava admits. "One day maybe! But until then let's go the guys will be mad if we keep them waiting!" "Ok, let's go!" Ava answered and went to find the boys.
That week finaly cames to an end. It was a week that seems like 100 years to Pauline. Maybe she was looking forward to Saturday or maybe because she didn't hear anything from Jesse. Both make her feel sick but she must get throught this.
During the week she and Ava had a talk about the competition and wrote down some possible question that Pauline could be asked. It wasn't a big deal at least for now. She really didn't have any problem to answer the questions that Ava came up with. She've answered them more than 10 times and she was ready for it.
On Saturday she didn't do nothing. She watched TV and read some fan fiction that she had left behind. She found a story with Tico in the mean role. She loved it so far. It was writter in 2005 the first Tico fanfic. At that point she thought that sometimes people know only Jon or Richie because they're more popular that David and Tico. She didn't have this thought in a long time. But she must admit that this story has something diferent than the other and she wants to find it out.
She checked the time on her laptop, time to get ready. She turned off the laptop and get up to get dressed. She opened the closetand she was starring it for several seconds. Should wear something casual or something else? Should wear any make-up or not? She was in desparate situatition.
When re-thought she wasn't going there to be a top model. She was going there to be a player of the volleyball time. So, casual dressing won this round. She put on her favourite Levi's black jeans and the matching red shirt. She added a little refume and she was ready to go.
She kissed her parents good luck and left her house. She arrived at the parking on time. She got out of the car and locked it. Walking in she found Mara sitting alone. She didn't want to be selfish and she want and sut next to her. "Hey, i'm Pauline!" she said and she held her hands out. Mara shaked it annoying. "I'm Mara." she answered with no feeling in her voise and turned her head on the other side. "I don't know about you but i'm a little nervous! is my first time!" Pauline tried to be nice to her. "This is my third time here and i'll not let anyone win this exept me! So, please stop talking to me i'm trying to get ready!" Mara answered aggresive.
Once the three gilrs were there stage two was ready to begin. First, Mara went to meet the judges.She was already feeling familiar with the judges so she didn't have any problem. The time that Mara was with the judges wasn't enough. A man came out and said "Pauline Timson?" Pauline stood up "Yeah?" "The judges are waiting for you! Follow me!" he said and Pauline did as he said. They walked in a hallway that Pauline had never been before. In the end of this hallway was a closed door. The man stoped there and said "Good luck!" "Thank you!" Pauline answered and smiled. The man left Pauline alone.
And here she was. Standing in that door. Her future is on the judges hands. It's now or never! she told to herself and took a deep breath. She knocked the door and she heard a 'Yeah' and walked in. She closed the door behind her and walked to the judges. The three judges were sitting in a big table in the middle of the room. Opposite of them was a single chair. Pauline smiled at them and said "Good evening sirs!" "Good evening to you too Pauline! Please have a seat!" the right judge said and Pauline sut on the chair. It was here time that her heart start to beat so fast like it was going to expload.
The judges looked a little to the pappers that were on tha table and the middle judge asked "Pauline, tell us about you!" "I was born in Athens, Greece. My family and i moved to Red Bank, New Jersey in June in 2012." Pauline wanted to say more but the left judge stoped her. "Good! Tell us about you and volleyball!" Pauline smiled and answered. "I start playing volleyball at the age of 8! My best friend back in Athens started it first and i joined her. Since i can remember myself i was holding a volleyball ball!" "So, you're been playing the half of your life volleyball?" "That's right sir!" "Very good! I can see here that when you were in Greece the team you were playing won two champrionships under your leading how did you feel about it?" the right judge asked and looked a little to the papper in front of him.
"It was the best expirience by far in my whole life! Is the feeling that you feel when you're in the court with your teammates-frineds that i can't put it into words! Is the feeling that when you're in the servis line and you look the opponent in the eyes! Is that when you're walking the court you're not thinking nothing else exept winning!" was Pauline's answer that left the judges with no words. "Very good Pauline! Tell us now the set are 2-2 and it's time break the oppent team has the serve if gets this point will win the game, you're the setter on the team what you'll do?" the middle judge asked and sut back in his chair waiting for Pauline to answer.
"I would tell them to relax and just focus on the target! If the sets are 2-2 that means that both teams played great volleyball and came to this result! As a setter i will tell to my hitters to be ready for every possible set! Or maybe i will say to my opposite hitter to stay back and use the middle hitter to the opposite hitter's position!" was what came first to Pauline's mind. She've saw this in a game in Greece and she wanted to do it in match. Once again the judges were speechless. They didn't exept from a sixteen year old to think that. She was youngest than Monica and Mara.
And it was time for the final question. The right judge took a look in Pauline's pappers and stats and asked "Pauline what's your greatest fear?" with the surious look in his eyes he sut back and crossed his arms waiting for an answer.
Pauline felt her heart stop for a second. What kind of question was that? What her greatest fear has to do with volleyball? Puzzled she asked "My greatest fear?" "Yes, your greatest fear!" he asked the trick question. Pauline felt herse;f sweating. She didn't know what to answer. She didn't even know what was her greatest fear.
The seconds passed and Pauline wasn't able to answer this question. Is weird that she answered more dificult questions and she couldn't answer this one. She lifted her head and looked to the judges one by one. "I don't know!" "You don't know?" the right judge asked again. "No, sir i don't know!" she answered again. "Ok then, thank you very much Pauline!" the middle judge said and pointed with his hand the door.
Pauline stood up from the chair and left the room. She closed the door behind her and broke down. teard were rolling down her face. She couldn't let the judges see this. If they'll see it she could never make it. She was walking slowly down the hallway.The last question that she wasn't able to answer might cost loosing the place. Now she knew THAT was her greatest fear.
About one and a half hour that same man came back and told the girls. "Girls, the judges made their decision! Follow me!" Mara, Monica and Pauline followed the man. He opened the door and the girls walked in. They sut in the line in front of the judges.
The middle judge cleared his throat and said "Ladies, first of all i want to say a big thank you to the three of you! We know that is not that easy to pass to the stage two only the best of the best make this happend! Today the girl that suprised us the most was one! The answers to our question weren't only unique but very smart of a girl at her age! To sum up ladies the girl that won a place in the women volleyball team of the New Jersey state is named..........."
Heartbeat punding like a drum to Pauline's chest. She was sure her heart was going to explaod today. She wanted more that everything to hear her name. It was, it is and it will be her dream till the day she'll close her eyes. She didn't want to feel that feeling of losing. She looked next to her. She has no idea what kind of questions and answeres Mara and Monica did. She looked straight to the judge that talked before when he cleared his throat again.
"Her name is......... MARA McCURDY!!! Congatulations!"
Pauline heart broke as these words came out of his mouth. Her greatest dream came to an end today. A single tear filled her eyes as she shaked hand with the winner. Monica was the same as Pauline. She wanted it with all her heart and soul like Pauline wanted.
"Did Jesse called?" "Nope, he didn't!" "The best scenario i can come up with is maybe uncle Jon killed him....." Ava joked and Pauline froze. "Nah, i don't think he's that cruel!" "You better change your mind. Your future father-in-law when he's mad you better hide somewhere!" "Why everyone keep telling me that Jon will be my father-in-law?" she asked with a weird look on her face. "Because he'll be! I can picture you and Jesse in the future!" Ava answered with the thinking look on her face. "Keep dreaming princess!" Pauline answered and walked a few steps forward leaving Ava behind. "What don't tell me that you don't want it!

Plus, i'm not in the mood of it and i don't want to change your mind!" "Why should i change my mind?" Pauline sighed. "Look, you know that Richie is my farourite right?" Ava nobbed. "You have no idea what we fans say or think about them! And i don't want to scear the hell out of you! Let's say that you forget that i'm a Jovinator!" "We're ok... for now!

Time for Jesse to quit being a jerk and call his girlfriend and beg for forgiveness. Pauline needs some consoling from her boyfriend and family.
