Lloyd looked away awkwardly, his face flushing. Since no one knew who he was, he pretty much never received compliments. He wasn't entirely sure how to respond, other than simply thanking Darren again nervously. Wait, you auditioned… that means you have to have an actual part! What have I done?!
Darren in Lloyd sat awkwardly in silence while the kid on stage belted out lyrics like their life depended on it.
He watched the girl audition. She was good, or at least it seemed so to him. His head still felt like it was buzzing. Is this adrenaline? I don't know, you never do anything that would give you an adrenaline rush.
Darren turned to notice the paled quality of Lloyd's face. "Adrenaline rush?"
She was internally having a heart attack, this was her first time singing in front of anyone. If I get a side role then I'm good, but if I get the main role, I will literally murder myself.
Lloyd nodded. "I don't really do sports or anything, so I'm not used to this strange… buzz… do people actually enjoy this?"
Lillian walked up to Lloyd, "That was unexpected."
"Hmm?" Lloyd looked up at the girl. Her name's… what was it? Lily? No, Lillian.
"Amazing though" Darren added again
"Yeah," Lillian looked at Lloyd, "You usually work backstage though, don't you?"
"Yeah, I do. I'm pretty quiet, and being on stage isn't really my thing."
"To late now… apparently if you audition you are guaranteed a part!"
"Well, with your voice I'm honestly kind of shocked," Lillian told him, "But I get that it isn't for everyone."
A pink tint came to Lloyd's cheeks. "Singing's more of a hobby than an actual talent, I guess. Most people would either call me shy or stuck up since I kind of avoid people sometimes. Really people just make me anxious. Small talk is quite difficult."
"Progress! Confidence is being able admit your flaws, right?" Darren laughed nervously
Lillian sighed, "Since you auditioned you're getting a part, but since you normally work backstage you might be able to get out of it."
"I dunno whether I can get out of it now. I mean, not many guys try out anyways, so I don't have much of a choice."
"True maybe you can convince them to give you a minor part though"
The parts for the musical will posted tomorrow outside the auditorium.
"I hope so. I might actually have a panic attack on stage if I have to do a major role. Just making eye contact makes me nervous, so I have no idea what I was thinking."
Lillian nodded, "Yeah, your rep with the directors should allow you to get you that much. You can work backstage until it's time for you to go on stage."
"Yeah. I generally get along with adults better than people my age, so the fact that I'm actually having a fairly normal conversation with you guys is pretty unusual."

Darren laughed to himself before announcing he had to get going because his dad was coming home from a business trip and wanted to know about how football was going or something overly stereotypical like that. And with that he breezed out the door.
