Flashback

Audition room

(There was a lot of noise, people were standing in a long line with a separate line of boys and girls. Everyone was waiting to be called inside the auditorium. A very beautiful girl was also standing in the line, she had a curvy figure, milky white skin, and thin eyebrows with the dark blue color of eyes. Her eyelashes were velvety. Her hair was ebony-black. She had syrup-sweet lips.)

Everyone was staring at her.

A guy: OMG she is so…. Beautiful. (murmuring to himself)

Feeling many stares, the girl becomes self-conscious.

Girl: Tara, Is something wrong with me? Why everyone is looking at me? (looking here and there, wondering)

Tara: Snehil dear, everyone is looking at you because… you are looking so beautiful, and they could not remove their eyes from you even they want to. (Laughing)

Snehil: Shut up (hitting her lightly), When will this audition begin?

Tara: chill, wait for a little.

Snehil: yep. (nodding).

(Then her eyes met with a boy standing in the boy's line who was watching her intently. The two got lost in each other's eyes.)

(Suddenly there was an announcement.)

Announcement: So, Ladies and Gentlemen, tighten your back, now is your chance to become the new rising star of “Winter Bear Productions”. I know that many of your people are waiting for us to begin. Sorry for the delay, but better late than never.

Audience: BOOOHOOOO (Showing thumbs down)

Host: (Raising his hands in surrender) I know, I know, it was a bad joke. So, without wasting much time, let's start the audition. Okay, our first contestant is Mr. Aryan, give him a big applause.

Aryan:

(Winter Bear by V (BTS))

She looks like a blue parrot
Would you come fly to me?
I want some good day, good day, good day
Good day, good day
Looks like a winter bear
You sleep so happily
I wish you good night, good night, good night
Good night, good night

Imagine your face
Say hello to me
'Til all the bad days
They're nothing to me
With you

Winter bear
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Sleep like a winter bear
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Sleep like a winter bear

(The audition started... and after this more contestant gets to sing...)

Host: Our next contestant is Miss Tara, please come on the stage.

Both get surprised.

Snehil: All the best. (motivating her)

(Tara climbed onto the stage, nodded meekly.

The light goes down and Tara closes her eyes and sighs.)

(Who says by Selena Gomez)

I wouldn't wanna be anybody else, hey

(She opens her eyes with a jerk.)

You made me insecure
Told me I wasn't good enough
But who are you to judge?
When you're a diamond in the rough

I'm sure you got some things
You'd like to change about yourself
But when it comes to me
I wouldn't want to be anybody else

(Tara was walking back and forth across the stage, bringing the crowd into the mood as well. The crowd started to cheer and Snehil was also happily cheering.)

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na

I'm no beauty queen
I'm just beautiful me

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na

You've got every right
To a beautiful life
Come on

(The crowd sings with her)

Who says, who says you're not perfect?
Who says you're not worth it?
Who says you're the only one that's hurting?

Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty?
Who says you're not beautiful?
Who says?

Host: What a powerful performance, Miss Tara. Guys, keep applauding.

(Tara smiling at the audience gets down. As she reaches to Snehil both hug each other.)

Snehil: You were awesome. (cheerfully)

Tara: Seriously (excitingly), but I know it won't match yours.

Snehil: No man, I am serious. (making a serious face)

(Tara rolled her eyes.)

Snehil: Let's go home now, our audition is done.

Tara nodded and then started walking with Snehil.

(As they approach the door, they hear the voice of a boy singing. Snehil stops for a while there. She thinks what a soothing voice.)

(The Night We Met by Lord Huron)

I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met

Seeing Snehil lost, Tara shakes her and signals her to move ahead. Snehil moves forward shaking her head.

Outside

Tara: I hope we will get selected cause I really need it.

Snehil: I know and hope so too.

A few days later

(Tring…Tring… a cell phone was ringing on the living room’s table. It was a fine flat with the living room having a sofa in the middle and tv at sofa front and at the back of the living room is the bedroom. The kitchen was right to it and behind it was the washroom. Picking up the phone, Snehil started talking on the phone)

Snehil: Hi

Tara: Hey bro…

(Talking while walking in the balcony attached to the living room)

Snehil: Sis, don't know, when will the result come? (worriedly)

Tara: It will come soon dear, don't worry. (assuring)

Snehil: I want to tell you something? (Hesitantly)

Tara: Yes of course (exciting)

Snehil: (sighing) Today, I saw a boy in the room of the auditorium, a damn hot man, he was very attractive, oh, I could not take my eyes off him.

Tara: (mischievously) Did you feel anything after watching him?

Snehil: (exaggerating) Something, a lot happened, it felt like there was a storm in my hormones; Butterflies were flying in my stomach, I can't tell you what I'm feeling right now.

Tara: Was he that good? (croaking her one eyebrow up)

Snehil: I can't express it in words babe. (keeping a hand on her heart)

Tara: mmm hmm, am I smelling any love story? (teasingly) okay, listen just close your eyes. (thinking something)

Snehil: What? Why?

Tara: O please God, just closed your eyes for now.

Snehil: ok (confused)

(Snehil closes her eyes)

Tara: Now think, that boy is in front of you now. And slowly, he is getting close to you, and then slowly he pulls you towards him.

(Snehil starts imagining and blushing)

Tara: He puts his lips near your ear and says, "Snehil".

(Snehil gets lost in Tara's words, feeling these.)

Snehil: hmm.

Tara: And… damn cut (starts laughing)

(Snehil opened her eyes with a shock, Listening to Tara’s laughter)

Snehil: (complainingly) You are so mean.

(She turned while saying this but gets stunned)

Snehil: Oh My GOD!

 (Snehil shouts seeing the same boy in front)
