Chapter 1
Studio one was alive with movement. Production assistants were getting everything ready for the shooting of a new tween drama. The actors and actresses were in make up and going over their lines with each other. Everyone was certainly anxious; for years Mackenzie Falls was the top tween drama, and many other shows had failed. So of course everyone was a bit nervous. No one wanted the show to become another thing for Mackenzie Falls to gloat about, like they did with the other failures.
Cameramen were checking their equipment, producers were shouting out orders, and the set designers were putting the finishing touches. Shooting was about to begin and the actors were taking their places.
"Miss Bennet. You're wanted on set."
A young girl around the age of sixteen turned around in her chair, her brown wavy hair falling beneath her shoulders.
"Coming," she replied. The hair stylist finished her hair and she ran to the set. The first scene they were shooting was the arrival of the new girl.
Ironic, thought Alexandra as she was watching her twin sister, Rachel, getting to position. They both had fought hard to make it there and were gonna fight harder to stay. Sure the executives like the idea of her show, but she knew who their favorite is and she would do anything to bump Mackenzie Falls off the top.
"Quiet on set!" came the howl of the director, "aaand action."
Alex smiled a little as her sister began her scene. The first couple of weeks are going to be hard, but if the pilot is a success, then there is hope for them yet. And she couldn't wait for the day when Mackenzie Falls is gone.
Yes, the studio was alive with movement.
