‘ So, did they get you? ’ Jenny says.

‘ How many people were there? ’ Bella says.

‘ Don't drag it out, Jake! ’ Jenny says, and rubs a strand of hair.

They sit with a mesmerized look on their faces and wait for me to answer. But my answer was brief.

‘ I overslept my audition, ’ I say with a sad look and lowered my head.

Bella and Jenny's emotions shifted on their faces, and the enthusiastic smiles disappeared abruptly. We sat in silence for about five minutes, and then in a low, steady voice Bella says:

‘ Jake, don't feel bad, it's not your last audition. ’

‘ And I agree with Bella, ’ Jenny says, looking into my eyes with a little smile.

Here somes a text message from a friend of hers. Jenny reaches into her pocket for her phone.

‘ Oh my God! ’ Jenny shouts out in surprise.

‘ What? What is it? ’ Bella says.

‘ Look, look at that! ’

She shows a message with a picture of the book «Love at a Distance». The book was written by one Thomas Phelps. I had previously heard about this book from Jenny, she talked about it night and day. Eventually I got curious, so I googled it on the Internet. The results are impressive: Over two hundred thousand videos on YouTube, hundreds of fan pages on Instagram and countless discussion sites. It's actually a very popular novel that has taken over the world. It's written about a guy and a girl who fall in love after a high school party. Their parents create clothes and are very famous designers who are feuding with each other because of competition. Chad's best friend wants the couple to break up and try to win the girl's heart by any means necessary. Soon Chad moves to another city, where he goes to University but for all that their relationship continues.
