"I know I'll get the part. Everyone here are a bunch of amateurs," a girl around 13 years old snorted as she swept past Summer. Summer looked over at the brat. She was really tall, so skinny that she looked anorexic and she had an upturned nose.
Definitley a spoiled brat, Summer said under her breath.
"Hi." someone said nervously. Summer looked to her left and saw a girl with long curly blonde hair, pale skin and voilet eyes.
"Hey. Have you been on yet?" Summer asked politely, she was feeling way too nervous to think about how shy she usually is around people she didn't know.
"No. By the way I'm Melina, my friends call me Millie." the girl said, extending her hand.
"I'm Summer." Summer answered and shook her head.
"DESIREE COLLINS." a voice crackled over the intercom.
"Get out of my way. Look at this place, it's disgusting. I mean there is NO airconditioning and under all those hot lights, my make up will run. Luckily, I'm a professional." Desiree, the girl with the upturned nose complained, she pushed her way past Summer and Melina. Summer just stared at her in disbelief.
"Can you believe that she's only thirteen!" Melina exclaimed. Summer didn't say a word. They stood in the wings and watched the obnoxious brat act out the scene where the character was getting murdered.
"Look! Her skirt's tucked into her underwear and the judges are laughing at her." Melina whispered loudly. Summer looked over at Desiree, her skirt was not tucked into her skirt, but she seemed to have heard Melina's comment and ran off the stage crying. Melina had a satisfied grin on her face. Although Summer disliked Desiree, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her. That was pretty mean.
Before long, Summer heard her name being called over the intercom. She hurried to the wings where Melina was coming back from performing. She looked like she was just about to cry. Obviously she didn't do too good. Summer shrugged it off and walked out onto the stage. She did her part perfectly, except for the part where she had to stagger along the stage as she was dying. Someone had spilt water on the stage and she skidded on it and fell over. She silently cursed herself and left the stage. She didn't really mind, it wasn't like she'd get the part anyway.
"Did you have a nice fall?" Melina asked smugly. Summer just glared and continued on her way.
"This is stupid. Why'd you drag me here anyway. I mean if you guys wanted to perve on girls you could have dropped me off at laser...whoa." Zac said. He stopped midsentence when a girl called Desiree walked onto the stage. Taylor and Isaac laughed. Taylor watched the girl, she had a really annoying voice and to him, she seemed stuck up and a little too over enthusiastic. Zac thought otherwise.
"Guys, she has to be one of them!" Zac cried.
"No way Zac!" Isaac retorted. He pulled a face, he didn't want little kids running around the place.
"Come on Ike. If we each choose one then it'll be fair." Taylor replied. Isaac didn't answer. He didn't know why he agreed to do this stupid publicity thing. You see, a local radio station wanted Hanson to be the first to try this human experiment. The Hansons, along with three girls have to live together in a house for three months. Every single thing they do(besides going to the toilet or having a shower) was going to be video taped. It sounded okay to them. But what they didn't know was that the radio station would make it a living hell for them.
"Hey Ike, how about her." Taylor said, grinning. He nudged his brother in the ribs. Isaac looked up at the girl.
"Hmmm, not bad. You know what Tay, this isn't going to be so bad." Isaac answered. He looked up at Melina and started drooling. By the end of the auditions, they had settled on three girls. Now they just had to hope that the girls would agreed.
A few days later, Summer had forgotten about the auditions. She was in the middle of organising her sisters birthday party and at the same time listening to the radio. As she absently wrote out the guest list, her mind wandered to the contest that they were discussing on the radio. To live in a house for three months, if you make it you get $5000. Summer sighed, she could do with $5000. She stopped writing when they announced that Hanson would be participating in it. Then they said they were going to ring the three winners. They dialled the first number and asked for Desiree Collins. Summer was surprised, that had to be that annoying brat from the auditions.
"SUMMER!" a voice shouted. Summer opened her window and saw her friend Kaylea.
"Hey Kay!! Come on up!" Summer yelled down. Kaylea smiled and disappeared into the house. Soon she was up in Summer's room.
"Guess what!" Kaylea cried, she was bouncing up and down, her eyes shining brightly. Before either of them could say anything, the phone began ringing.Summer quickly snatched the receiver,
"Hey, you've reached Summer's Party line."
"Hi, I guess this is Summer Johnston then."
"It sure is. Who's this?"
"This is Jason from 96fm, you've been chosen as a contendant for the House from Hell."
"Are you serious?"
"I sure am. What do you say?"
"Oh my god!!" Summer looked at Kaylea, who's eyes were as round as saucers and her mouth was wide open. She was listening over the radio.
"So are you going to do it or not?"
"Uh, yeah!! But I don't know if my parents..." she started, but was cut off,
"There we have it, our 6 contestants for The House From Hell, in the mean time here's a song."
Then Jason took down her details and said he'd get back to her later.
"Oh my gosh! This is so cool!" Kaylea cried, she grew even more excited.
"Like my parents will let me." Summer answered. She tried to stay calm, but it didn't work.
"I get to party with HANSON!" she yelled. Kaylea screamed and they crashed onto Summer's bed laughing.
