GUYS IF YOU WANT A REALLY GOOD WALKER FANFIC CHECK OUT
WISHING WELL BY  hellohaihihello

Inez had never felt so anxious before. Sure, she had the occasional pre-test jitters or her bad habit of tapping her nails rapidly when she had to order something on her own at a restaurant, but never had she felt something as nauseating as this.

She had gotten callback after callback for an important role and she was determined to get it. No, she needed to get it. The role was uni-sex, which is usually rare for such a big role, but she didn't complain. This role would help her finally not be some nobody who hadn't acted in anything remotely interesting before, but a movie star.

Okay—maybe a movie star is a bit much, but you get her desperation.

The casting directors said they would send an email to her inbox if she got the role, and since the beginning of the school day she had been constantly checking her phone and refreshing.

She was currently in history class, tapping her nails against the wooden desk, clicking her pen, biting her lip, or really any possible combination of her bad habits.

Truth be told, Inez wasn't even remotely paying attention to what Mr Smith was saying. As his mouth moved and drawled out long, boring, and completely unimportant information, she continued to eye the clock in the corner of the room. Her heart was the only thing she could hear other than the sweet sound of the bell ring.

"Finally." She muttered under her breath, grabbing at her books and pencil case as quickly as she could. Unfortunately, her rushed movements left her gel glitter pens clattering to the floor, spilling out uncontrollably.

Inez cursed her clumsiness and bent down to pick them up, scooping and shoveling them in.

Her best friend Amy slid next to her, nodding to the door where students were practically, pushing each other to get through. "Let me get it, you go check your phone."

Inez let out a breath. "I love you, you're amazing, you're beautiful–"

"Yeah, okay, now go before I change my mind." She teased, smiling at her.

Now, Inez didn't want to get her expectations up; she had learned the hard way that it's better to just believe that you aren't gonna get the role so you don't get disappointed, but this role seemed so close. She could practically see herself on the movie set.

Inez unlocked her phone and shakily opened her email.

She could hear Amy's heavy breathing as she followed in pursuit after her.

"I...I got your pens" she panted out, shoving the glittery objects into Inez' locker.

She reloaded

And reloaded

And...

She didn't even click on the email. She only had to see the 'we regret to inform you' before she shut her phone off.

"I didn't get in," Inez whispered quietly.

"Well let me see who got it, they can't be nearly as good as you." Amy scoffed, grabbing her phone and scanning quickly over the email.

"Who the fuck is Walker Scobell?"
