Mother of Pearl: A Floyd Leech x OC Fanfiction

Chapter 103

Vil, Rook, and Epel walked into the room with drama and flare. Deuce winced and averted his eyes. "Ugh! So bright!! What's with all the sparkles!" he groaned as he held an arm up to guard his eyes.

Grim stumbled on the ground. "I'm seeing flashes!"

I scrunched up my nose. "It's almost as bad as magic." When I managed to look back at the trio, Epel was standing with perfect posture but closed off. It honestly was like he had a wedgie he couldn't get.

"I doubt there is anyone at this school that does not know who I am, but as a courtesy, I will give you a brief greeting," Vil started his speech pretentiously. "I am the dorm leader of Pomefiore, Vil Schoenheit. For today, Headmaster put me in charge of producing members that'll perform at the Vocal & Dance Championship."

"Ah yes, the lovely headmaster that shirks his work onto others. Oh how kind of him," Yuu ridiculed under their breath. I clamped a hand over my mouth so I wouldn't laugh out loud.

"Vivi, is something wrong?" Cater whispered. I shook my head and composed myself with labeled breathing.

Vil continued, "Well then, let's begin the member selection audition. Rook, please take care of the rest." He then turned on his heel and walked back into the room he came from.

"Oui, Roi du Poison," Rook bowed to the disappearing dorm leader. He then addressed the silent crowd awaiting the next steps. "I am the vice dorm leader of Pomefiore, Rook Hunt. Pleased to meet you."

"Ah, it's the weirdo that was in charge of the audition applications," Grim recognized the fellow. "I guess he's the vice dorm leader of Pomefiore."

"Now, we will start with everyone performing the assigned song. You will be given points based on your dancing and singing abilities," Rook explained. As he went through what was going on, the nerves started to boil in the pit of my stomach again. I felt my hand be squeezed and looked to see Yuu holding it. I squeezed back and took a deep breath. "We'll do auditions three at a time. Please enter the room when your name is called."

The auditions began.

Groups went through the double doors to the ballroom three by three. Ortho, Kalim, and some other random dude left the ballroom and a few minutes later Rook came out to grab the next three. "Jamil Viper, Epel Felmier, and Vivienne Abiba. Please come in."

"Ahhh, crap..." I sighed.

"You got this Viv. Wow those stuck up weirdos," Yuu encouraged.

"Is it too late to back out?" I whimpered.

"Just go already," Ace pushed me forward. I shot him a glare and grumbled on my way to the door.

This is probably one of the last groups to go! Gosh, I wish I had gone first just to get it over with. Ugh, I hope I don't puke from the nerves.

When I stood on the side of the room with Jamil and Epel, I could hear my own heart beating fast. Vil motioned for one of us to step forward. "Jamil Viper, you are first."

Jamil calmly step to the center from where the two of them sat. As expected from when we practiced together, he was amazing. It seemed like Rook and Vil could see that as well. "Monsieur Multi. As I predicted, I can feel the hot burning soul that lies under that mask!" Rook gushed with his feather hat bouncing with his head movements. "Beaute! 100 points!"

"Your dancing and singing were the best we've seen so far. Not bad," Vil complimented far less enthusiastically. He ushered him back to the side and summoned the next one "Next, Vivienne Abiba."

I took careful steps forward to stand in front of the two men. "Whenever you are ready." I took a deep breath in and slowly exhaled. Just imagine your performing for Gran. "I'm ready." Rook started the music and I proceeded with the audition.
