How it started

Emily couldn’t decide if she was terrified or excited. She had seen the pilot for the show she was auditioning for and wanted to be part of it, if even for just one episode. As she looked around the waiting room, she felt the familiar mix of nerves and anticipation while she waited for her name to be called.
Emily nearly jumped out of her seat when they called her name. As she walked into the auditioning room, her eyes were drawn to the guy sitting at the end of the table. He was wearing a ball cap and was looking at what she assumed was the script in his hands.
‘He’s probably the stand in I will be running the scene with’
She smiled as she walked out and handed her info to the casting director.
‘Hi, I am Emily Bett Rickards, I will be auditioning for the role of the IT girl.’
‘Thank you Emily, this is Stephen, he will be running the scene with you’, he said as he pointed to the guy at the end of the table. Stephen stood and extended his hand towards her. Emily felt her stomach flip as she looked into a pair of beautiful blue eyes and realised it was the lead from the show.
‘Hi Emily, nice to meet you’ he smiled as he shook her hand. Emily’s pulse jumped as she took his hand. He held onto her hand a second longer than usual.
‘Whenever you’re ready Emily’ the casting director said.
Emily shook herself and tore her eyes away from Stephen as she remembered where she was.
‘Ok, thanks’
There was a table set up to the side of the room. Emily walked over and took a deep breath. She counted to three to herself and started typing on the imaginary computer.
‘Felicity Smoak?’
Emily turned around and slipped into Felicity. Five minutes later the director said:
‘Ok, thanks, that was great, we’ll let you know’
Emily smiled, feeling good about how it went. The role felt like a comfortable fit. And it didn’t hurt that she could feel the chemistry between Stephen and herself right away.
‘Thanks, it was nice to meet you’
She smiled and turned to leave. She had a good feeling about this.
