When the Moon Fell in Love with the Sun

Chapter 5: Let the Games Begin

I woke up to my alarm blasting Secret Valentine by We the Kings (it's one of my favorites you know, it's in my perfect vocal belting range). I woke up and prepared myself for my audition, as in I tried to look good and brushed my hari. I got out the music peice I was going to sing, it had to be a cut from a horal piece- so I chose a cut from one of my favorites: Sleep by Eric Whitare. I can't even tell you how beautiful it is- the flowing chords, awesome lyrics, I just love it. Anyways, I told Danielle I was leaving even though she was still asleep and probably didn't hear me.
I left the hall and started walking towards the performing arts hall for my audition. I was warming up my voice the whole way there, and looking over my cut a million times to make sure I knew it frontwards and backwards. I was in the middle of it when all of the sudden, I was run ino once againn.. by someone who was jogging. My sheet music went everywhere. Wow, if this is how my day is going to start, then I am scared for what's to come. I finally got up and looked. And it was none other than Harry Styles. OF COURSE.
"I can't believe this happened yet again! I am so sorry, I was just so into my music I wasn't really paying attention." I said a little more frantically than I had hoped.
He just got up and helped me pick up my music and smiled at me. Why is he smiling at me.. He handed me my music.
"We need to stop meeting each other this way, because everytime we do you fall for me." He said with a cheeky grin,
"Hey, that's not completely my fault. You should watch where you are going too!" I said jokingly back.
He obviously knew that Kelsey wasn't near, because he was being very flirtatious and way different than previously.
"Well maybe I didn't want to. Good luck with your.. erm.. whatever you're doing." He smiled and started jogging away.
Well that was weird, he knows I do music stuff, yet he was flirting with me. WAIT an attractive boy was legitimately flirting with me? Clearly coming to England should have happened sooner in my lifetime. As soon as I gathered my stuff together, I continued my way to one of the most important auditions of my life. Okay, maybe not the most importanat, but it was pretty damn close. I wanted Niall to know I was actually fit to be his. Well maybe.. hopefully.. OKay yes I want to be his but now is not the time to get sidetracked. I entered the music hall and went towards the director's office. It took me a good three minutes, just because I couldn't remember where it was exactly. When I finally found it, there was a girl standing outside the door with super duper blonde hair. She looked like one of those sweet girls who had a hidden layer of sass, that's just what I assumed by the way she was dressed. She heard me walking up. and urned around. Okay, she is really pretty.
"Hello! Are you here to audition?" she asked me.
"Umm yeah, are you the director?"
"Oh! Heavens no! I'm just here for my audition that's after yours. Wait, you are.. Reyna right?" she said as she was reading the audition list.
"Yeah that's right! And what's your name?"
"I'm Perrie. Perrie Edwards."
I shook her hand, "It's nice to meet your Perrie!"
"You too!" she said sweetly, "Are you auditioning for alto or soprano?"
"I'm an alto, what about you?"
"I go in between, but I decided to go for alto for my last year. I like a bit of a challenge." she said.
"Awesome! Well hopefully we are put in the same group so that I could see more of you!"
"Yes that would be awesome indeed! Would you, perhaps, want to go get tea with me after our auditions are finished?"
YAY FRIENDS MAKIN FRIENDS WOO SUCK ON THAT.. too much? Nahh.
"Yeah! That would be great!" I said finally.
"Awesome!"
"May I see a Reyna Marshall for her audition?" A man said sticking his head of the door.
"Oh, that's me." I said nervously. This was starting to get nerve racking. I wanted to be in choir with Niall, and Louis, and now Perrie. Assuming that they are all amazing and such, I just wanted to prove myself.
"Good luck!" Perrie said to me as I walked inside.
The office was sort of like a typical choral diretor office. There were shelves full of music pieces, photographs, a desk, stuff like that.
"Helo Reyna, I'm Mr. Lawrence. I'm the head choral director here at Preston." he said shaking my hand.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you." I replied.
"Now, you're new here. From America, correct?"
"Yes, that is correct."
"Have you done any choral activites back there?"
"Yes, I have done choir since 8th grade, or grade 8 I guess." I stuttered.
"Excellent, and you are auditioning for alto? What cut will you do?"
"Yes, I am an alto, and I'm going to sing a cut from Sleep by Eric Whitacre."
"Ahhh, excellent choice. I'm actually planning on doing an Eric Whitacre piece for the chamber choir this fall, hopefully you will be lucky enough to participate."
"Oh yes, that would be awesome!" I said, maybe a little too ecxcited.
"Well, I am quite familiar with this piece, would you mind if I sang the tenor part along with you?"
"No! That would be great actually." I said.
We started at what I believe is one of the most difficult parts of the song.

Upon my pillow, safe in bed,
A thousand pictures fill my head,
I cannot sleep, my minds aflight,
And yet my limbs seem made of lead.



Yaaayy he said it was very nice! I have a chance!! That was probably the climax of my audition, he then had me do some really easy sight reading. Because I'm a damn good sight reader. Fun fact about me.
Anyways, I stepped out, and Perrie was still sounding there which kind of surprised me because I forgot she was waiting for me.
"Well it sounded great from what I heard!" Perrie said.
"Thanks! I'm shaking like crazy, but best of luck to you!" I told her.
"Thanks!" she sad as she stepped into the office. I knew I had some time to kill, I checked the time, 10:24. Wow, it was still pretty early. Then my phone buzzed.
Hey, want to come get some breakfast with me and Liam?? xDanielle

Oh man, now I was conflicted. Because I wanted to hang out with Danielle and Liam and kind of find out more about all the drama with their friends..

Well, I already have plans to get tea with this girl I just met. Her name is Perry like my platypus.

I checked my twitter, then my little notification from Danielle popped up

PERRIE EDWARDS!? I love that chicka, bring her with.xx Danielle

Alright, I guess that they're friends.. Man I had so much to learn about who likes who and who hates who.Then Perrie stepped out of the office. I could hear her in the back of my mind I guess you could say. Sh was an amazing singer, that worried me.
"Wow Perrie, that sounded awesome! You have a talent girl." I told her.
"Well thank you! Now off to tea?" She asked.
"Yes, but my roommate Danielle wanted me to g get breakfast with her and her boyfriend Liam and she asked me to bring you so I just.."
"DANIELLE?! I have missed her so so so so so so so so much! Let's go!"
Perrie then grabbed my arm and we ran to this cute little cafe on campus to meet up with Danielle and Liam.

There we sere, sitting at a cute little cafe drinking tea and eating breakfast pastires. And in that moment, I swear it was the most British I would ever be. No, we were not infinite. Haha that is one of my favorite books though until bitches on tumblr ruined it. Anyways, Perrie and Danielle were really good friends. They went on and on about being in their musical production last year. They had done one of my favorite shows called Thoroughly Modern Millie (and if you haven't seen it, look up Sutton Foster performing it as Millie. Ugh, it is fantastic). Perrie was actually Millie, because the senior class wasn't that strong performance wise last year. And Louis I found out was Jimmy, which was also really cool to know because I guess Louis is an amazing performer. As all of this conversation was going on, Liam just sat back and let them go at it. Danielle would occasionally look over and make sure Liam didn't feel left out, but he would just smile and rub her back in assurance. A whole hour had passed when Perrie and Danielle got up to get ready for their tap class. They were in an advanced course, so it had actually started earlier than school,but I was fine with that, it got me the chance to hang out with Liam.
Liam and I had just started talking about our moms, aan into what school was like here at Preston when none other than Harry and his gan came over to sit with Liam.
"What's up mate?" Zach said as he, Zayn, and Harry sat down.
"Not much lads, this is Reyna, I don't know if you have met her yet."
"Oh yes, we've ran into each other a couple times." Harry said very cheekily.
"Yes, literally." I said flirtatiously back. Wait, I can't flirt, I'm friends with Niall and Louis, I can't turn my back on them.
"No, I haven't its nice to meet you." Zayn said holding out his hand to me to shake. He was verypolite, but looked very serious.
"So, I know it's weird that the first day of school is on a Friday, but are you going to go to the first football game?" Harry asked me.
That's when they al looked at me, like I was under a test to see what I was going to choose. I wasn't going to let anyone influence me.
"Well, I'm not sure. See the list for who made which choir comes up after school and I want to make sure everything is in place. So maybe, maybe not. We'll see."
Liam seemed satisfied. But the other three just kind of stared at me, like the kind of stare where you aren't sure if you just transformed into a monkey or something. I don't know, it was just weird.
"So, you don't really care either way?" Zayn finally said.
"Well, I mean I would like to, but it's really not that important to me if I don't go."
"So you're saying football is stupid?" Harry said a little more angry.
"I'm not saying it's stupid, I'm sayong there are more inportant things."
"Oh, like music? And not just any music, choral music. Boring, not good music?" Harry said a little more enraged.b
Wow, this guy needs to cool his jets. There is more to life. Sorry that I don't consider rap music very much. At least the majority of choral music has significant meaning unlike you son of a bitch. Sorry, I'm getting angry now.
"Boring? Not good? That's funny Harry, I didn't know there was actually meaning behind football. I didn't know that throwing a ball around and tackling other sweaty guys could actually have meaning. Because I sure as hell know that's what music does for me." Boom. Crushed it. "Guys, can we not.." Liam trailed off.
"I know that music doesn't get anyone anywhere. There is no meaning behind it because it's a bunch of made up pitches with words to go along with them. At least it takes skill to play football." Harry stated.
"Football isn't eveything. People who don't or didn't play football can grow up to do great things besides thinking they run the place."
"You know what, I don't need this. Because I know you're wrong, and there is nothing you can do to change my mind. I don't like music, it's ridiculous. Good day, I'll see you later Liam, Reyna." And then he, Zayn and Zach got up and started to walk away. I heard Zach say, "Why are we leaving? She's hot." Yepp, he was not paying attention.
"Well, I now know where you stand with all of this." Liam finally said to me.
"You know, Niall and Louis are my friends, and I need to stay by them. They treat me better than Harry ever would." I replied.
"I don't know about that, Harry is cool, just tempered at times. And a little dark."
"I can tell..."
