You had just completed a chemistry read with Walker, and your heart was beating so fast you thought you might faint. You really wanted the role as Annabeth, and you were contemplating every little thing you said to him. After the chemistry read, you thought; “wow, it’s going to be hard to act professional”. He was the type of guy to make you nervous, and you rarely got nervous around guys.

You were watching every little interaction he had with the other two girls, and you were getting less and less confident that you’d land the role as Annabeth by the second. After he finished, he sighed and walked over to you, taking a seat next to you.

“Hey,” he smiled, looking like he was about to fall asleep any second now. You could literally hear your own heart beating, and it made you anxious he could hear it too. “Hi,” you nervously smiled back, your fingers awkwardly fidgeting around with the hem of your shirt. “Can i be honest with you? I really hope you get the role..” He looked at the ground, trying to distract you from the slight flush on his cheeks. “I think we clicked, the most out of the others. And, you seem pretty fun to be around.”
