Chapter 30 - The Auditions

*NINI POV*

I tried to control my breathing. Matt and I were about to audition for Cinderella in 5 minutes.

"It's gonna be great Neen!! You're so talented." He smiled at me rubbing my back.

"Thanks." I said, nervously.

A woman with a clipboard came out of the room. "Nina Salazar-Roberts?"

I slightly raised my hand and smiled as I went inside the audition room. I looked back to see Matt, and he mouthed, "You'll do great," to me.

The same woman that called me in, sat on a chair and started writing on her clipboard. "Who will you be auditioning for today?"

I cleared my throat. "Cinderella."

She wrote on her clipboard. "Okay! Begin whenever you're ready."

I took two deep breaths. Okay. Here we go.

*MATT POV*

As Nini was auditioning in her room, I had many thoughts run through my head.

What if we were both cast as the main leads? Man, that would be amazing. We would hang out a lot, sing a lot, and perhaps k-

"Oh my gosh," Nini fanned herself with her hand. "That was so bad."

Oh.

Well.

Nini may think it was bad, but maybe it actually wasn't.

-A few days later-

*NINI POV*

I drove to Matt's apartment, as soon as I got the email. I swung my hand up to knock, but before I could, Matt opened the door.

"I'm so nervous." He said, bringing me in for a hug.

"Same. But, whatever happens...it'll be okay."

"...Yeah. Gotta remember that."

We sat down on his couch and nervously opened the Gmail app. I closed my eyes as Matt found the email: Cinderella Cast List.

"You can open your eyes!!!" Matt said, I could hear the excitement in his voice. It must be good then!!! I opened my eyes to see:

Cinderella Cast List
Cinderella -- Nina Salazar-Roberts
Prince Charming – Matt Sanford
Jaq – Harry Evans
Gus – Yosef Reilly
Lady Tremaine – Eve Harps
Anastasia -- Olivia Taylor
Drizella – Willa Gates
Fairy Godmother – Nicole Fry

I faced Matt. Holy cow.

I got the lead. And so did he.

I screamed out of joy as I hugged him.
