of the room and proceed to the audition hall. Caroline must be looking for her. The people inside the hall is now decreasing and Jesse is nowhere to be found. She sat on her chair and Caroline just smiled at her.

The audition went on for a few more hours. There's still a lot to do after that. After lunch they'll be announcing the accepted auditionees, then they'll help them move in to the boarding house, then at 8 pm they'll be having their initiation night, which is basically just a party on the school grounds. Then by tomorrow, they're going to have their first meeting.

By next week, everybody is going to be super busy because the classes will finally start. So, she has to balance everything or else, she'll lose her mind.

"Let's go get some lunch, Chloe. I'm very exhausted this week. Good thing we'll have some drinks tonight." Caroline said while shoving all her stuff in her purse. She stood up and followed her out of the audition hall. They walked side by side until they reach the cafeteria.

People are looking at them as they walk with grace across the hall. It's really weird because people think that Caroline and her are some sort of the university's mean girls when in fact their just humble drama students. They just have their own stylish ways but they're far way better than those plastic Barbies as seen on the movie.

They turned left for the cafeteria when an arm was drape on her shoulder. She glanced on her side and saw Jesse smirking at her. Caroline then rushed to the food section and left her with Jesse. "What do you want, Jesse? And why do you have your arm on me? Remove it."

Chloe shrugged Jesse's arm off her shoulder, but the latter just keep on putting it back so she just shut her mouth.

"Ginger! How was my audition? I killed that song, right? Am I in? Tell me I'm because there is no way I'm failing that audition. I had a good voice. And I'm good looking too."

Chloe rolled her eyes at Jesse "Wait for the announcement after lunch for the results, and as for your piece, do you know that I did the same song on my freshman year? And my audition tape is not in the drama hall that means someone must have took it. Did you?"

"Okay, why would I do that? I didn't know you did that song as well. I'm a fan of Xtina, you know. Hey, have you seen that movie? You should see that, it was awesome."

"I've seen that movie, a thousand times if you may ask. I'm a fan of her as well. And that song is really strong. It triggers tons of emotion that is why I chose that before. I'm sorry, I thought you messed with my audition tape, someone took it for sure, I'll just ask the security for the footage to see who stole it." She saw Jesse's eyes widen. Gotcha!

He led her to the food section to choose her lunch. She asked the cafeteria lady for some pasta and garlic bread. Jesse chose the same. While waiting for their order to be ready, she notice a bunch of girls staring at her with their envious eyes. What is there to be envy about? Then she notices Jesse's arm is still draped on her shoulder. She slightly bumped her elbow on Jesse's side and signaled him to remove his arm but he held her closely to him even more.

"You now, you really have to remove your arm over my shoulder or else I'll tear it off of you." Good thing Jesse removed his arms, but to her surprise, Jesse held her hand. This guy is so persistent, so instead of telling him to let go, she decided not to give any attention to it. She's just getting tired of telling Jesse what he shouldn't do.

Finally, their lunch is ready, they quickly grabbed their trays and took a seat beside Caroline where she's talking to Max, one of the auditionees. She can still feel the prying eyes of the ladies earlier because Jesse is sitting beside her.

"You should keep your distance from me, Jesse. I don't want those ladies to kill me. They've been looking at me weirdly, as if I did something wrong to them. I hate when people give me sharp gazes, it makes me feel uneasy."

"Don't mind them" was all Jesse said and continued eating.

While Caroline on the other hand is being talkative, which is very unlikely of her. "So, after lunch we're going to announce the result of the auditions. You should be back in the audition hall, I assure you, you're in."

Max's eyes widen at what Caroline said, and so is hers. "Care, why are you spilling the results of the auditions? It's not yet time."

"Oh, you silly, it's fine, they'll know it any way. So, what's the deal with you and my brother huh? Are you together now?"

Jesse chokes on his food while she almost spilled her coffee. "Oh, no. We're not. He's my bodyguard today. He keeps on following me, right Jess?"

"Yes, I'm like Ginger's personal bodyguard." he said while smirking.

She finishes her lunch the same time as the bell rings. She instantly got up from her seat together with Caroline, Jesse, and Max. Side by side, all four of them head out of the cafeteria. They were walking towards the audition hall when she remembered something.

"You guys should go first, I'll just check something with the security. I'll be fast." but before she could turn, Caroline grabbed her wrist and pull her inside the hall. "You could do that later, a lot of people are waiting for us now, I'm sure whatever you'll do could wait. Security won't run away. Don't worry"

And Caroline was right, when they entered the hall, it is already crowded,
