Chapter One: The Start of It All
*Point of View: Leo Howard*
"And that's a wrap!"
I walked off set. Thank God! This week has been the worst ever! I had 1 essay in English class, 2 tests (one in Geometry and the other in English), 3 projects to do (Conceptual Physics, Global Studies, and Espanol), and to top it all off, this current episode of 'Kickin It' is really getting on my nerves. 'Home Alone at School.' I mean how lame…
"Jack!"
Ok. WHO IS THE PERSON WHO DOESN'T KNOW MY NAME! Hmmmmm… Well let's see… How about EVERYONE! Seriously, every movie or TV show that I have been in, people have called me by my character's name. Logan, Leo Little, Jack… Okay, Jack has been the worst offender ever since that interview when I said Jack was me in a nutshell… Uggghhh!
"Oh, it's you! Hey, Kim." I said.
"MY NAME IS OLIVIA!" she yelled at me.
See what I mean!
"Sorry." I apologized. Time to let my, thankfully great, acting skills do their job. "I got so wrapped up in the show I forgot… Do you forgive me?" I fibbed (well, technically it was a lie…)
She snorted and half-way smiled.
"Friends?" I asked with a puppy dog pout face.
She burst out laughing. "Of course, Hazard! We will always be friends."
We started to walk back to our dressing rooms.
"Sooooooo… What you doing this weekend? Since we have a four day break from schoolwork, the show, everything for Memorial Day, I thought we could hang out together, I mean with Mateo, and Dylan or something." she said excitedly.
"Um… I don't know. I think my parents planned a trip to somewhere, but I kind of wanted to just stay at home and relax, maybe work out some." I stated truthfully.
She sighed. Does she have a crush on me or something? Or are all girls like this? I really have no clue. I never had a girlfriend before…
"Ok, dude, I guess I'll just see you around." she said sadly. She backed up a little, waved, then turned and walked away.
I continued, walking to my dressing room, thinking about how I was going to spend my blissful weekend.
...
"Hey, Mom! Hey, Dad! I'm home!" I hollered, not knowing where they were.
"Hi, Leo!" I heard my mom answer while I walked to my room. Once inside, I threw off my hoodie and dark sunglasses that I wear so news reporters and paparazzi don't recognize me. I flopped on my bed and proceeded to fall asleep…
