Chapter 2 - Pre Audition (2)

Halfway across the world a bunch of girls were huddled together outside of a tall building, seemingly waiting for something to happen. They whispered to one another quietly, occasionally getting a little excited every time the doors to the building opened, only to get disappointed when the person that came out was someone they didn't recognise. Afterwards they would go back to their phones while they waited, sharing photos of their favorite celebrities.

Suddenly a young man wearing a jersey approach the girls arrogantly smiling. "No need to wait any longer ladies, I am here!"

The girls looked up from their phones at the boy confused before turning back to the door in front of them, clearly not interested in the clown behind them. Distraught, the boy slumped his shoulders defeated.

"I don't think you'll be recognised just yet, you just passed an audition is all, and we aren't even a full group yet. I doubt the news of the auditions results even made it out yet." Another, slightly more humble voice came from beside the other. The slightly older boy was much more reserved looking. Though his glasses made him look slightly studious, his gentle and calm demeanor out shone that quality.

"But...it was worth a try!" The melodramatic youth gave a small sniff as the other offered a sympathetic pat on his shoulder.

"Besides, what are you doing here Keidan? Are you late too?" A hopeful expression replaced the previous pout as he looked at Keidan expectantly.

"Not even close Remmi. I got here almost two hours ago. The managers sent me out here to look for you. You're in trouble again." Keidan let out a disapointed sigh as he explained. "We were suppose to meet at the back door anyway. What made you think using the front was a good idea?"

Remmi let out a frustrated growl. "I got lost! How do they expect me to find the secret entrance if you all keep it a secret!?"

By this time the two had already started to head around the corner out if sight from the group of fan girls. A couple of them had finally started showing some interest in the two when Remmi started getting loud again, so Keidan had to usher him along to avoid any issues.

"Well, if you had paid attention when they gave us the tour yesterday, instead of eyeing the fan girls, you'd have realized that the 'secret entrance' is really not a secret at all. See?" Keidan sarcasticly lectured the other as they walked, it was then Remmi realised they were now walking toward a plain metal door.

"So...the 'Back Door' was really just...the back door?" Staring blankly at the door in front of him, the boy couldnt help but curse his lack of observation skills.

Keidan, much more amused by this, gave Remmi a curt knod.

"I hate you." Remmi grumbled. With that he reached out and knocked on the door as Keidan let out his suppressed laughter.

The closer one got to down town, the more packed the buses become. Unfortunately Andy had to go through downtown to get where he needed to go, getting himself packed into the public transit. With each passing minute more and more people started to get on the bus, slowing it down. It was to the point that running across town might have been quicker. Just when things couldn't get any worse, a loud beebing sound filled the bus.

"Please make room for a wheel chair. Those sitting in the wheel chair seats, please get up." The bus driver started to yell.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Looking behind himself, Andy realised he would have to get up. Seeing that no one else was moving, the young man took the initiative to stand up 1st, forcing the others to follow suit. Now came a new problem. Finding a new place to stand.

Raymond watched patiently as the bus driver took on the lady in the wheel chair. Many of the other passengers were stuck being pushed Back to make room for the others that moved, except for him. Not only was being tall an advantage in this situation, but Raymond had found a fairly safe corner to stand in, conveniently found next to the back door. This way he could make a quick exit once he reached his stop. That would come in handy seeing as it was starting to get late. He really hoped he'd be able to make it in time.

Just then a slight commotion could be herd from further within the bus.

"Excuse me! Sorry! I just need to-ouch!" A small voice could be herd struggling to get through to the back door, but it was impossible to see who it was. Whoever it was, they were obviously lost within the crowd of people. It was then a flash of yellow could be seen.

A small arm reached out from between two people, grabbing for the hand rail next to Raymond. When it finally found it, a boy pulled himself out from within the isle forcefully, only to crash face first into Raymond's stomach.

"Aw... Sorry." A small doe eyed face stared up at the taller male.

Shrugging it off, Raymond did his best to ignore the other. It was a little hard to do that though, for the boy had started squirming as he looked around for another place to go. It was only then that Raymond realized the other was wedged in between himself and the two men behind him.

At his height, that had to of been a bit embarrassing. Speaking of, the tiny guy was already turning red.

"Ouch!" The bus turned forcing the weight of the crowd to suddenly shift, crushing the yellow hooded teen. Worried that he might inadvertably kill the kid, Raymond quickly moved away from the corner of the wall, creating a small pocket of space for the other to move into. Without skipping a beat, he pulled the smaller boy around him onto the corner, the two now facing each other.

"Th-thanks! That was a neat trick." A bright smile was flashed up at Raymond, causing him to look away embarrassed. He didn't have long to calm himself though for the bus shifted again, only this time Raymond was the one getting crushed. Before he knew it, the broad shouldered teen was holding back the combined weight of the crowd, as his tinier counterpart stood safely between him and the wall. Unbeknownst to Andy, he was one man away from dying.

"Ah! This is my stop!" Andy suddenly reached up to pull the bell cord causing the bus to jerk to a stop, sending Raymond off balance and into the crowd. In that same moment the back doors opened and a yellow hoodie jumped out of the bus. Shocked by the boy's rudeness, Raymond failed to see that it was his stop as well. By the time he untangled himself from the crowd, it was too late. He'd have to get off at the next stop, and run if he wanted to make it to his audition on time.

June made her way down stairs carrying a stack of papers with her. These portfolios listed the boys she would be auditioning that day. When she picked them up from the front desk, she made sure to tell her assistant not to let anyone else in. At that moment, whoever walked through that door was considered late and June didn't waste her time with those who were late. Watching her leave for a moment, the old man at the desk got up to lock the front doors. He was just about to turn the key when he herd a loud yell from outside. Looking through the glass door he could see a yellow hooded figure booking it down the sidewalk toward their building.

Seeing that he got the old man's attention, and failing to watch where he was running, Andy tripped over a rock sending him head first into, Raymond.

Raymond, who had also been running, took a short cut down an alleyway. When he reached the corner that lead to the main entrance to the building, he didn't expect to be headbutted in the stomach by the same boy from the bus.

The collision left one teen winded and the other dazed. Shocked, the old assistant watched the two tumble over one another and falling into a jumbled heap of limbs. The man was just about to run out to go help them when suddenly the two started to yell at one another. Unable to hear what they were saying through the glass, the old man decided to sit down and watch, letting the two work it out. If it ever came to blows, the old man wasn't strong enough to stop them and would have to call the police, so it was better to watch from afar and wait instead.

Strang enough, the two stopped fighting pretty quickly. Remembering their audition they quickly turned back to the glass doors rushing it like they had only moments before.
