Audition Room

Thought it'd be refreshing to be surrounded by actors for a second after being exposed to nerdy students 8 hours a day. As I press the elevator button thinking of all the germs I just contracted, I'm being aggressed by some disgraceful high pitch voice screaming on top of her lungs to some dude: "What? You haven't seen my commercial yet?" Here I am. This casting agent, don't recall his name, still exists. He says hi to me as if I'd never left town. He's gained weight and I'm surprise he recognized me despite my blond hair looks 5 yrs ago. After the ID/fill out form/photo procedure, Mr casting agent introduces me to my partner. We're suppose to be this happy joy young couple consumers buying I already forgot what... We seat next to one another. I take a look around the room. They're so much cacophony: "Have you audition for..." "God, Alicia got the part, I am so happy for her, truly I am..." "I still wait for the answer for that role, so hope I'll get it, if not..." blah blah blah... All I see is needy/egotistic souls screaming in synch: "Please, please love me" I want to scream back: "only you can do that, assholes"... Coitus Interruptus by my partner that's enthousiastically says: "Christiane, maybe we should rehearse." Shit I forgot his name. Cannot be blamed for it. How can you be interested if not intrigued... Can someone please surprise me? I exert a semi genuine smile and say:"sure". We rehearse in the midst of the blah blahs... "but it's playing on every chanels" yells now Mrs Obnoxious Voice. Saved by the bell, we're called in for the audition. Back to the real world, on my way to school with my bike, I think it'll be refreshing to return to my fellow students.
