| Ring ring, ring ring……… “Come on someone pick up!” Becki said to herself. “Hello,” A familiar cheerful voice answered the phone. “Hey Marie, is mum there?” “No she isn’t here, her and dad have gone to work. What is it? You sound excited!” “I am, ooooooo Marie it’s so great!” Becki started to tell her younger sister all about what happened with Kian and the best news that she was pregnant! But had conveniently left out the part about him being in a Boy band. “Oh my god, oh my god this is great! Can I come down and see you?” “Sure of course!” “WOW, I’ll be down within the next few days, I can’t wait to see you again sis, when mum gets in I’ll tell her to ring you, bye for now!” “Bye Marie!” Becki put the phone down feeling even more cheery than before it was great to talk to her sister, it wasn’t often she found her in, she was usually out with her friends. It would be great to see her again it had been almost a year. 3 days later.. “Hellooooooooooooo Becki,” Marie shouted loudly in the door, Marie didn’t often get down in the dumps, she had great friends and was a generally all around happy person who everyone liked. “Oh wow, it’s so great to see you!” Becki emerged from the kitchen wearing a tea towel over her arm and an oven glove on her hand. Marie practically skipped over to her sister and gave her a big hug. “It’s so good to see you again! Let me just take the tea out the oven and we can catch up, I want to know everything you’ve been up to!” “Cool, ok,” Once Becki and Marie had caught up she told her that she’d introduce Marie to Kian, so with that the two of them made their way next door. Rachel was already there, perched on Bryan knee, and also Ami, Rachel’s cousin. When she saw Marie walk in the door she jumped up and went to give her a hug. But Marie wasn’t exactly concentrating on Rachel’s friendly hug, she was too busy staring at the cute brown haired guy in the corner, she had a funny feeling she’d seen him before to, then when she saw the other four guys it suddenly clicked! “Hey aren’t you guys Westside or Westlife or something like that?” Marie asked puzzled. “Erm……” They all chanted, then, there was silence, they cute one in the corner carried on. “Yes? But how do you know about us we’ve only been in England for a couple of weeks?” “WOW cool, it’s just I have a friend who lives in Ireland, you’re like her favourite band, she sent me picture of y’all!” “Cool, ok then, but please don’t say anything we don’t want any publicity yet we are enjoying the peace!” Said the blonde haired one that Rachel was once again sat on. “I promise I won’t!” "Marie let me introduce you to, Mark, Bryan, Shane, Nicky and of course my baby Kian!” Marie had only just taken in the others coz as soon as she heard the name Mark she couldn’t take her eyes off him, and he seemed to be doing the same! “Oh no!” Shane jumped out of the chair, which was the closest to the TV, “we have the auditions for the new dancers in half an hour, we better get going mates.” “You’re holding dancer auditions, wow cool!” Marie could only just control her excitement, maybe she would try out, I mean she was a gold medallist in her home town n also a few others, not only that, but she was a model and had done magazine ads for allsorts of things. “Really? You never mentioned it before, but do you know what there’s a great dancer right in this room!” “Or thanks mate,” said Rachel who had got up, she started doing an impression of the Bee Gee’s in night fever, but Bryan grabbed her waist to make her stop! “No silly, Marie!” “You can dance?” Mark asked, his eyes glistening. “Well, yeah! I’ve been doing it since I was about two, I’ve also done some modelling,” “I think we’ve found our first dancer guys,” Nicky said, reaching his arm out to shake Marie’s hand, as if they were making some bet or a deal. “Sure I’d love to do it!” She held out her hand and shook it with Nicky, but had still managed not to remove her gaze from Mark, who hadn’t yet noticed she was staring at him, but in return she also had not spotted his looks. Mark couldn’t help it, he was just drawn to her, long, straight, brown hair and shiny blue/green eyes, then when she smiled she showed a mouth full of perfect straight, white teeth. “OK, well come down to the audition house with us, because it wouldn’t be fair on the others if we didn’t audition you too.” “OK that is fine,” Marie knew she had a good chance at getting the part, she couldn’t believe her luck. “OK that wraps up our auditions for today, we’ll keep you all posted on who has made it in,” 100 or more women between the ages of 16 and 26 all left the auditorium, all feeling hopeful, all feeling they had a chance. “Hey Marie, you were great, you’re gonna make it, don’t you worry!” “Thanks Mark, I’m not worrying though, I mean if I don’t make it no biggy.” Mark smiled sweetly then held out his arm for her to link with him. “Can I walk you home?” “Sure, thanks.” “Hey Marie before you,” Kian ran up to her “you’ve made in!” "WOW that’s great THANKYOU!” “Anytime, bye for now.” |
