I fell in love with a Robot [Mikaze Ai]

○Chapter 12○ Audition

"Ai, what is this?" I asked after reading through few pages of paper given to me by the oh so wonderful senpai of mine.

"A script," he replied bluntly.

"I can see that, but... Isn't this for the auditions of that movie we watched on my birthday?" I shouted excitedly. "How did you get these?"

"It came in the mail, they saw your concert last week and wanted you to audition," he replied.

That's right, it has been one week since my debut. Ever since then, I had been bombarded with tons of job requests like modelling and reality shows, but a movie?! I don't know if I can take it...

"I will be auditioning too," he replied.

"Oh really? What will you be auditioning for?" I asked.

"The male protagonist," he replied.

So if we both get in, we will both be working together? I must work hard then!

"Very well, I will start practicing right away!" I said and started memorizing the lines and practicing.

"Good."

"Oh my god! This is the auditions?" I gasped.

"Yes," Ai replied.

"This place looks so cool! There are so many people too..." I said and started to feel my heart race.

"Are you nervous?" He asked.

I nodded in reply.

"There's nothing to be nervous about."

"Says the robot," I pouted.

"That's right! Says the robot!" a familiar yet irritating voice said.

I turned around and saw three really familiar guys standing just centimeters away from us. Just one look at them makes me want to hurl.

"Oh it's shortie, quiet and ego," I said.

"Oh my? What uncute names that you give us. Why don't you use my cute and real names, Yuri-chan~!" shortie said. He got really close to me and pinched my cheek. "Come on say it! Say "Nagi-kun~" for me!"

I pushed him away and replied, "Like hell I would, shortie!"

"Please, you are just jealous that my shortiness helps in my cute factor. You don't look cute at all after all~!" shortie said.

Oh, he changed into Mr. Ego Number Two. Actually no, I need a more original name... Like... Two-faced. No, that's too "fact".

"Whatever would you be thinking so hard about, princess?" ego asked.

His eyes were shining for a moment there...

"Creepy."

I glanced over to "quiet".

"Well, at least you don't say or do anything stupid like this two clowns," I remarked. "I shall use your actual name then, Kira-kun!"

"Thank you," Kira said softly.

I smiled and faced Ai. He had a rather unamused look written on his face.

"What's wrong Ai" I asked with an innocent smile.

"Nothing's wrong. It's almost time for auditions," he said.

"Oh that's right! Let's hurry!"

"Oh? What role are you trying out for?" shortie asked.
