"Hey, guys! So I've decided who I'm going to have the leads be played by in my new movie."
I was excited, a big-shot Hollywood director had come to the set of where my show was, and he had been "undercover" for the past three weeks surveying myself and my fellow actors plus the actors on the show that was the rival to mine. "Playing the lead female role is..." He looked around and smiled. "Sonny!" I looked over at her, saw her smile and couldn't help but smile myself.
"No way!" She said, excitedly. "This is so great!"
"Yeah!" the director said, "and you get to kiss the attractive male lead!"
Sonny giggled, and smiled greater. "Who is it?"
"It's..." He looked around again. "Chad!"
"What!" Sonny and I both said at the same time, and then we looked at each other.
"Yep! You guys get to kiss each other!" He walked away, and so did my disappointed fellow actors.
I stared at Sonny, and she stared back at me.
"I have to kiss... you?"
My heart was beating fast. "And I have to kiss... you?" We stared at each other for another minute.
"Ugh! I don't want to do this!" Sonny said.
"Aw, come on, Sonny. Who wouldn't want to kiss... Chad Dylan Cooper?"
She scoffed. "Um, me!"
When she said that, it actually hurt. "Well, if you're so upset about it then why don't you quit?"
"Yeah? Why don't you!"
We stared at each other again.
"Well, maybe I will!" I said.
"Not if I do first!" She said directly afterwards.
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
We always did that, and I couldn't help but laugh when we did.
"It's not funny, Chad! I finally get a real acting job, and you have to ruin it!"
"Oh, you don't mean that, Sonny."
"Um, yes. I do, Chad! You are one of the most terrible, disrespectful, disgusting people that I have ever met in my life! No. I'm sorry, I'm wrong. You are the most terrible, disrespectful, disgusting person in my life!"
After she said this, she left. I actually felt terrible. I really didn't hate Sonny as much as she thought that I did, and I wanted her to know that, but I didn't know how to tell her. I looked around the empty room awkwardly, and then left to go to my dressing room.
