So You're A Dreamer?
Three: It's A Miracle!
Arieonna:
I grabbed the doorknob with my hand and twisted it back, revealing two men sitting behind a desk with hefty suits on, and a teenage girl scurrying behind them. The men looked like they were in deep conversation but when they heard the small creaking sound of the doorway their heads popped up and both gazes were fixated on me.
Slowly I tip toed in and closed the door behind myself, standing in front of it. "Hi.. I'm Arieonna Sheckler.. my friends-" before I could finish one of the men raised his hand and motioned for me to sit, and I did.
The leather chair I'd sat in was rather uncomfortable, but I sat with my back straight and tried to look as 'at ease' as I could. One of the men sat up, leaning his elbows on the desk, and sent a small soft smile my way, which I returned. "So, we hear you can sing?" The slightly bald one said, extending his hand toward me. "I'm Gary M. Paulson, this is my business associate Kevin Booker." I shook his hand, shaking the other mans as well.
"Nice to meet the both of you, and actually I can sing.. but umm.. I have a keen interest in acting too." The one who had smiled earlier, Kevin, smiled again, nodding and jotting it down on his clipboard. Which he then sat on the desk, looking back at me.
"Well, if you're as good as your friends had first told us, I'm sure we could do something for both your acting and singing careers, maybe." He stated, folding his hands together and leaning more on the desk, as if he was studying my every movement.
The fact he said 'if' bothered me, because I knew I was good, and that sounded self centered but it was true. And I was really hoping I was as good as they wanted me to be. "So, shall we get started?" Gary asked, standing up and pushing his leather chair into the desk. Kevin doing the same.
A small nod came from me as I stood up, leaving the chair as it was and began to follow them out of a different door. The girl from earlier was following and looked rather uncomfortable in the tight skirt she was wearing. It was a pencil skirt and I shook my head, scrunching my nose before turning away from her and continuing to follow silently.
Until Kevin spoke up, "We'll just be doing some simple things just to see if you actually have talent," there they go with that 'if' again, "we'll have you sing a bit of some songs from different genres. Then, to see if you can write a song we'll record you singing one of your own," he glared at my empty hands, probably thinking I had a song book, before turning back around, "if you can sing and then we'll see about the acting thing." I really wish they'd stop saying 'if' so much.
I nodded again, and then we walked up to a door. With a screen threw it and I gasped. Inside was an actual recording studio from what I could see and I was already anxious to get inside. It's not like when I was in California I didn't try to get acting and singing careers, I did, just no one seemed to want a teenager..
"Let's go in," Kevin said, opening the door and letting Gary and I slip inside before closing it behind himself. Motioning through the glass window for the girl to go, which she nodded and walked away, trying not to trip in her huge high heels.
Gary sighed, rolling his eyes, "Oh how many times we've told her she doesn't have to wear that to work here, she's just an intern for now." He let out a small chuckle and sat down at the booth, turning on the recording sound thing. I need to work on getting to know this stuff. "So, hop on into the booth and let's get started."
A large smile took over my lips and I almost ran to the door, opening it and stepping inside grabbing a pair of sleek black headphones. I looked up at the clear window and saw that Kevin had motioned for me to put them on, which I did. "Can you hear me?" I heard his voice in my head, and nodded, "Okay, step up to the.." he went on to explain a few things and I just followed instructions I was given before finally we got to the singing part.
First they had me sing some Adele, and Jason Derulo(A/N: or however you spell his last name...) then a few other artists and finally they said I could sing one of my own. Without the beat at first. I already knew I'd be singing The Way so when they asked me if I needed a few minutes to prepare I of course denied and straightened up more, taking in a deep breath before sending them a thumbs up. The green light came up, signaling they had started recording and I began to let the music take me.
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, I love it
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, I love it
Say, I’m thinking ’bout her every second, every hour
Do my singing in the shower
Picking petals off the flowers like
Do she love me, do she love me not? (love me not)
[One version:] I ain’t a player, I just crush a lot (crush a lot)
[Another version:] I ain’t a player (I just play her, I just play her)
You give me that kind of something
Want it all the time, need it everyday
On a scale of one to ten I'm at a hundred
Never get enough, I can’t stay away
If you want it, I got it, I got it everyday
You can get whatever you need from me
Stay by your side, I’ll never leave you
And I ain’t going nowhere 'cause you’re a keeper
So don’t you worry, baby, you got me
I got a bad boy, I must admit it (hey)
You got my heart, don’t know how you did it (hey)
And I don’t care who sees it babe
I don’t wanna hide the way I feel when you're next to me (hey)
I love the way (I love the way you make me feel)
I love the way (I love it)
Baby, I love the way (I love the way you make me feel)
Ooh, I love the way (I love it)
The way you love me
Oh, it's so crazy you get my heart jumping
When you put your lips on mine
And honey it ain’t a question (q-question)
'Cause boy I know just what you like
So If you need it, I got it, I got it everyday
Be your lover, your friend, you’ll find it all in me
Stay by your side, I’ll never leave you
And I ain’t going nowhere 'cause you’re a keeper
So don’t you worry, baby, you got me
I got a bad boy, I must admit it (hey)
You got my heart, don’t know how you did it (hey)
And I don’t care who sees it babe
I don’t wanna hide the way I feel when you're next to me (hey)
I love the way (I love the way you make me feel)
I love the way (I love it)
Baby, I love the way (I love the way you make me feel)
Ooh, I love the way (I love it)
The way I love you
Uh, I make you feel so fine, make you feel so fine
I hope you hit me on my celly when I sneak in your mind
You’re a princess to the public, but a freak when it’s time
Said your bed be feeling lonely,
So you’re sleeping in mine.
Come here, watch a movie with me,
“American Beauty” or “Bruce Almighty” that's groovy,
Just come and move closer to me
I got some feelings for you,
I’m not gonna get bored of
But baby you’re an adventure
[One version:] So please let me come explore you
[Another version:] So let me come and explore you
So don’t you worry, baby you got me
I got a bad boy, I must admit it (hey)
You got my heart, don’t know how you did it (hey)
And I don’t care who sees it babe
I don’t wanna hide the way I feel when you're next to me (hey)
I love the way (I love the way you make me feel)
I love the way (I love it)
Baby, I love the way (I love the way you make me feel)
Ooh, I love the way (I love it)
I love the way (I love the way you make me feel)
I love the way (I love it)
Baby, I love the way (I love the way you make me feel)
Ooh, I love the way (I love it)
The way I love you
The way I love you
The way I love you, you, you, yeah, the way
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, I love it
I love the way you make me feel
I love it
The way I love you.
I took a deep breath, opening my eyes which I'd just noticed were closed and bit my lip. The recording was still going and both Kevin and Paul looked dumbfounded. "It's a miracle!" Gary suddenly shouted, walking into the booth as Kevin pressed the record button to stop recording, "You've definitely got talent, kid, and I'm definitely getting you signed to this company." My mouth hung open and I couldn't help but make a noise and jump around in a small circle. This, definitely was a miracle!
I grabbed the doorknob with my hand and twisted it back, revealing two men sitting behind a desk with hefty suits on, and a teenage girl scurrying behind them.

Notes
Dear Tiny Elephants,So today I had school again (EW) and I have tons of homework so this might be my only update for a few days, since 1, I didn't get a comment, boo you all(jk jk ILYSM), and 2, all my work has to be turned in because it's the first grading period and I mainly have math I need to do. Since I have a C in that class and my Mom wants me to be on a B+ average. Stupid, I know.
But anyway.
What did you think?!
Glad she made it?!
Lemme know what you think in the comments and you guys I still need characters for my other stories and this one. So if you want message me on here and tell me which story, who you want to play you(I'll still use your first name and tell people who I'm basing you off of), if you want to be someone's girlfriend/sister/boyfriend/brother, and a little bit about yourself.
Oh, and don't worry, Harry is coming SOON!
Okay, that's all.
Ba-bye,
CacaLovesHazza .Xx
