The Audition (Transcript)

It is soon Hayden's audition so Hayden went on stage and grabbed the microphone. Everyone, especially his cousins and their friends were all watching him.

Hayden: Hi, I'm Hayden, I'm 16-years-old, I'm originally from Sydney, New South Wales but I relocated to Perth, Western Australia and I'm going to audition.

Song: Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day

Hayden: #I walk a lonely road #The only one that I have ever known #Don't know where it goes #But it's home to me, and I walk alone #I walk this empty street #On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams #Where the city sleeps #And I'm the only one, and I walk alone #I walk alone, I walk alone #I walk alone, I walk a- #My shadow's the only one that walks beside me #My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating #Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me #'Til then I walk alone #Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah #Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah #I'm walking down the line #That divides me somewhere in my mind #On the borderline #Of the edge and where I walk alone #Read between the lines #What's messed up, and everything's all right #Check my vital signs #To know I'm still alive, and I walk alone #I walk alone, I walk alone #I walk alone, I walk a- #My shadow's the only one that walks beside me #My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating #Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me #'Til then I walk alone #Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah #Ah-ah, ah-ah #I walk alone, I walk a- #I walk this empty street #On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams #Where the city sleeps #And I'm the only one, and I walk a- #My shadow's the only one that walks beside me #My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating #Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me #'Til then I walk alone#

After Hayden's audition, everyone applauded. He went back to his friend group.

Josh: That was sick.

Zoe: Yeah, Green Day is one of my favourite bands.

Raphael: Didn't know you like Green Day.

Josh: Zoe likes rock music, she finds them amazing.

Zoe: Yeah.

Ashlynn: Is she an emo or something?

Hayden: I don't think so.

Zoe: Just because I like rock music, doesn't mean I'm an emo.

Josh: We gotta run, we have to audition as a group.

The Bessons went back on stage to audition for the last time before being part of the theatre club. Only this time, they will be performing as a group and not by solo.

Thomas: Okay, so you guys will be performing together this time.

Josh: I would love to perform with these guys.

Zoe: Yeah, we would do that all the time.

Thomas: Good, now go to your positions.

Hayden: But we haven't practised yet.

Josh: Don't worry, I got it planned out.

The Besson kids started performing and trying their best. They had already gained confidence after performing solo.

Song: 8 Letters by Why Don't We

Josh: #You know me the best #You know my worst, see me hurt, but you don't judge #That, right there, is the scariest feeling #Opening and closing up again #I've been hurt so I don't trust #Now here we are, staring at the ceiling#

Hayden: #I've said those words before but it was a lie #And you deserve to hear them a thousand times#

Zoe: #If all it is is eight letters #Why is it so hard to say? #If all it is is eight letters #Why am I in my own way? #Why do I pull you close #And then ask you for space #If all it is is eight letters #Why is it so hard to say?#

Josh: #Isn't it amazing #How almost every line #On our hands align #When your hand's in mine #It's like I'm whole again #Isn't that a sign? #I should speak my mind#

Hayden: #I've said those words before but it was a lie #And you deserve to hear them a thousand times#

Zoe: #If all it is is eight letters #Why is it so hard to say? #If all it is is eight letters #Why am I in my own way? #Why do I pull you close #And then ask you for space #If all it is is eight letters #Why is it so hard to say? #Woah, oh, yeah #When I close my eyes #It's you there in my mind #When I close my eyes#

Josh: #If all it is is eight letters #Why is it so hard to say? #If all it is is eight letters #Why am I in my own way?#

Zoe: #Why do I pull you close #And then ask you for space #If all it is is eight letters #Why is it so hard to say?#

Josh and Hayden: #If all it is is eight letters#

Zoe: #When I close my eyes #It's you there in my mind #When I close my eyes#

Josh and Hayden: #If all it is is eight letters#

Zoe: #When I close my eyes #It's you there in my mind #When I close my eyes#

All: #If all it is is eight letters#

Josh: Thank you.

The Bessons were about to head off stage when they were stopped by Thomas.

Thomas: Guys.

Zoe: What is it?

Thomas: I was just going to say that you guys are so talented. Welcome to the theatre club.

Josh: Thank you so much, Thomas.

Thomas: Don't sweat it.

They went back to their friend group where Ashlynn and Raphael were congratulating them.

Ashlynn: You guys are amazing.

Josh: Thanks.

Raphael: Did you guys pass?

Hayden: We did.

Ashlynn: Woohoo!

Raphael: Let's grab some lunch.

The group went to the cafeteria to grab some lunch. They managed to find a seat somewhere so that they could sit together.

Raphael: So, what is Australia like?

Josh: Kind of normal, we only have to walk to school because we live in a small suburb. Just outside the city.

Zoe: Yup, we didn't expect to move to a huge city in Asia. However, it's pretty nice.

Ashlynn: Singapore really is nice, my parents and I moved here from South Africa. It may not seem that way because I'm white.

Josh: Some South Africans are white.

Zoe: Yeah, our teachers were South African.

Hayden: I haven't met any South Africans, so...

Raphael: I have, she was our teacher.

Zoe: That's pretty nice.

Hayden: Raphael, what is it like in Hong Kong?

Raphael: A busy city like here in Singapore. Unlike Singapore where it is peaceful, there are protests happening in Hong Kong.

Josh: Geez.

Zoe: This is so bad, I'm sorry that your place has to deal with a crisis.

Raphael: It's fine, you should visit Hong Kong some time.

Zoe: When the protests are done.

The kids continued eating when Ashlynn changed the topic.

Ashlynn: So how do you know Kayla?

Zoe: Kayla was in Josh's class and she lied.

Ashlynn: I know.

Josh: Fortunately she got expelled and is never allowed to step foot on Australian soil. So she was forced to go to New Zealand. Turns out, she ended up here in Singapore.

Raphael: Seems like she's obsessed with you guys.

Hayden: She is.

Zoe: How can you tell?

Hayden: Because I can sense her coming up to us right now.

Everyone: (gasps)

Kayla went up to the friend group who were just staring at her.

Kayla: Is this seat taken?

Zoe: No?

Kayla: Well, you don't have to be rude about it. So, how are you?

Josh: Erm...

Ashlynn: That doesn't sound Australian of her.

Hayden: That's racist.

Raphael: What should we say?

Zoe: Just be casual about it.

Josh: We're good.

Hayden: Yeah, after a flight from Perth all the way here.

Kayla: Oh, my flight is shorter. I came from Indonesia.

Josh: Where?

Kayla: Indonesia?

Zoe: What city?

Kayla: Bali.

Raphael: Bali is an island.

Kayla: Okay fine, Jakarta.

Zoe: Jakarta's not in Bali, work on your geography. That city is in Java.

Josh: I always thought it was a programming language.

Kayla: Okay, just stop pressuring me.

Hayden: We would stop pressuring you if you stop lying.

Kayla: Lying? I would never lie.

Zoe: Liar, you already did.

Raphael: Oh boy.

Ashlynn: What is happening?

Zoe and Josh used their telekinesis and threatened Kayla with Zoe's pencil she always carries. Along with some of Josh's pens he brings all the time.

Kayla: Why are you threatening me with that?

Josh: We don't want you to lie to us anymore.

Zoe: Or else we are going to expose you for good. And trust me, this city is really strict with very strict laws so you better be careful.

Kayla: Okay, just stop. I just want to tell you something.

Josh: Fine, what is it?
