Ok, this is my first fanfic! English is not my idiom, so this is so difficult to me, and it takes me too much time to write each line, be patient! Please forgive me for spelling or grammar mistakes; I'm doing my best to write correctly!
I will use the names of some characters from PLL and some from Ravenswood, but I do not own the characters and I am going to use only the names, they have nothing to do with those shows. This is a Haleb fanfic.
Hanna enters the room where all the crew and cast of "Twenty-something" (a drama television series focused on a group of twenty something Californian friends) are reunited for the first chapter's table read.
All the team has been working at their areas since some weeks ago at the preproduction of "twenty-something" although the first ones who started to work were the writers, at this moment they have been working for months since they wrote the first scripts. This is the first time that all the work areas are reunited in the same place at the same time to review the pilot before start the shootings next day.
Hanna takes seat; she has her script copy and a lot of copies of the call sheet in her hands. The crew takes seat in their places too. And finally the cast comes inside; their places are labeled with the name of the character that each one plays in the main table. Hanna looks up and observes one per one. This is the first time that Hanna meets them in person; of course during the preproduction she has had to communicate with them to schedule their outfits fittings, cast meetings, and stuff, but only by phone. The casting team, directors and executive producers were whom were present in auditions and Hanna was working in the production offices during the show's preproduction, and for her, the action is going to start next day, the funny part starts with the shootings.
The first actors who come are Toby and Luke, Hanna's first conclusion is that they know each other because they sit down between jokes and chuckles in their assigned places. The following actress is Olivia, she takes a seat without taking her eyes out of her phone's screen. But she doesn't realize that that seat is for another actress, Emily, who enters the room, coffee in hand, smiling, and she takes seat next Olivia and exchanges the labels. Following Emily, Caleb comes and greets everyone waving his hand; he sits down. Hanna remembers the moment when she called him the first time to schedule his audition, she remembers his voice, an amazing voice and so masculine, and now that she meets him in person she realizes that his voice matches perfectly with his perfect face and his toned body, he's really hot, of course, he is one of the principal roles in the show, he has to be handsome. The supporting roles of the cast keep entering the room. Hanna keeps observing Caleb as he joins the chat between Toby and Luke. She can't avoid his arms muscles, he is wearing a simple black t-shirt, but what good it fits on him!
Hanna's thoughts are interrupted by Alison's entry, she's part of the main cast, she's Caleb's co-star. Alison apologizes for being late, although she doesn't look worried at all, she takes seat and starts to check out her make-up with a hand mirror that she gets from her big purse.
Now that everybody is there, they start the reading, reviewing each line, the director gives some acting indications, and producers and others areas discuss about some details to consider during the shooting. Finishing with the table read, Hanna does her work, she starts by distributing call sheets to the crew and cast. A call sheet is a file with all of the scenes to be filmed and all of the personnel and equipment required for shooting on a particular day, a schedule for cast and crew, so everyone knows at what time has to be ready.
She approaches the three boys who now are joking and laughing again.
Hanna "Hey! Excuse me guys, here's the call sheet, the crew call is at 6 am, but you have to come here at 7 am, please be on time!" she says pointing a paper with a list of names and times.
Toby "Hey! I guess that you are part of the production team"
Hanna chuckles. "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I know who you are but you don't know who I am… I already talked to all of you by phone, I am Hanna" She smiles
Caleb smiles at her. "Oh, you are that Hanna! You called me like a hundred of times to remember me each one of my dates with each one of the areas"
Hanna blushes
Luke "And don't forget about her "be on time, be on time"" he jokes
Hanna chuckles again. "Sorry, you don't know how stressful is to coordinate an schedule with twenty actors, a costume designer, five people in costume department, another eight stylists, all the people from the casting team, a director and an executive producer? If you are twenty minutes late for your outfits' fitting I have to reschedule the entire day" she purses her lips but smiling
Toby "Oh dude, you just be on time, you don't want to mess with this girl" joking and looking at Luke
Caleb "I'm going to be here at 7 am tomorrow" he winks at her
Alison comes and interrupts them. "Excuse me! Hey assistant, why I have to be here at 6:30 am? Are you kidding me? The others are coming at 7!"
Caleb "Slow down Ali, it's just half an hour, and she has a name, she's Hanna"
Hanna looks at Caleb. "It's okay" she smiles at him and then she looks at Alison "Your call is at 6:30 am because it takes more time to be ready for girls, look, Emily and Olivia are coming at 6:30 too, your make-up and hair style is a little bit complex that the boy's"
Alison goes away without saying good bye
Hanna "Do you know her?"
Caleb "Yes, she was in some of my acting classes a few years ago, then she left it and now I met her in the auditions… why do you ask?"
Hanna "It's nothing, you called her "Ali" it sounded like you were closed. Nevermind"
Caleb "She's a drama queen, I am not surprised that she has got the part… She's a little bit intense sometimes, I think you already realized that"
Hanna "Yeah" she chuckles
They stay silent for a moment and look each other
Caleb "I thought you were part of the cast when I came, then I realized that you were in the production team during the reading"
Hanna "Why did you think that? I wasn't even in the main table"
Caleb "I don't know, I just saw you and I assumed that you were an actress, maybe because you have a beautiful face"
Hanna blushes
Caleb smiles at her. "So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow…" He narrows his eyes and makes a face of thinking "My call is at 7:20 am right?"
Hanna knows he's joking. "Don't you dare to come here twenty minutes later Mr. Rivers"
Caleb chuckles. "Or what, Miss Hanna? Whom I don't know her surname"
Hanna "Marin, I'm Hanna Marin… And if you are late tomorrow I'm gonna make me sure that in the next call sheet your name will appear with the girls' call time" she winks at him
Caleb laughs. "See you tomorrow Hanna" and he kisses her cheek and goes away
