Hey! This is my new story, A Not So Perfect Love Story. It'll be updated on weekends and probably Fridays. Now, as I do for every new story I have, I always make a notice. I came up with this idea on my own. I didn't take it from anyone. If anyone else has a story like this up, then I didn't know. So, with that in mind, here is chapter one.
The photo shoot was like a ritual.
"Brilliant, Katniss! A little to the left!" Click. Click.
"One last picture, Katniss!" Click.
"Wonderful!" I got up as Cinna's assistant, Octavia put a silk robe around me. Flavius gives me a bottle of water. I open it and drink from it.
"Where is Cinna?" I asked. Flavius smiled.
"He's in your dressing room, with your agent, Effie," Flavius replied with a broad grin.
"What?" I asked suspiciously. Flavius smile brightened even more.
"Oh, nothing," he said.
I entered my room, where Cinna and Effie were seated on the plush sofa.
"Katniss, darling!" Effie said, "I have some exciting news! Come have a seat," she said, leading me to a plush armchair.
"Now you've heard of the new movie that Capitol Productions is releasing?" Effie asked. I remember that movie. It was called Love Bug and I had auditioned for the role of the lead girl a day or two ago.
"Yes," I said.
"Well, you've got the part!" Effie squealed. I jumped in my seat in joyful surprise.
"You're kidding," I said. Effie shook her head.
"No, you've got the part! They asked if you could show up on set tomorrow for your shooting schedule and full script," she said. I gave a shout of happiness and hugged her and Cinna.
I entered the set. It was huge. I looked around, before I spotted him. Gale Hawthorne. He was one of the best actors of all time. He was also the current most gorgeous but taken man in the world. He was engaged to Meretriz Lewis, a singer and actress. He looked around before he spotted me and smiled, his stormy grey eyes sparkling. He walked over to me, his hair slightly mussed, making him look like a god.
"Ah, Katniss Everdeen. I am guessing you must be the girl playing Nicole?" he said.
"Yes, and you must be playing…" I trailed off. Gale smiled.
"I am playing Avan," he said. I gave a startled gasp.
"Then you're the lead guy," I said. Gale's smile brightened.
"Yes, I am," he said.
"How's Meretriz?" I asked. Was it just me or did Gale's eyes dull a bit?
"She's fine," he said. Then, the director, Seneca Crane appeared, holding a large box.
"Ah," he said, "You're here," He opened the box and gave me and Gale each a thick booklet. The script. I opened it.
"Shooting starts in two weeks," Seneca said, "Inside, you'll see the full list of characters and the plot. I'll see you in two weeks," Seneca said, dismissing us.
I opened the script, reading the plot. It wasn't very long, but from what I had gathered, my character, Nicole was in love with Avan, while Nicole's bestfriend and Avan's brother, Josh was in love with her. I started reading the script to familiarize myself with the lines, when Prim came in. Prim was my little sister who was well on her way to replicating my career.
"Hey, Prim," I said, "How was shooting?" Prim was currently in a TV show called Spy Kids.
"It was cool," she said, before peeking at my script.
"You hungry?" I asked. She nodded.
"Famished," she said.
In two weeks, I was back in the set. Seneca appeared, with a smile.
"Now, you guys must be wondering who Josh is going to be played by. Well, here he is," Seneca revealed an extremely handsome young man with bronze colored hair, sea green eyes and a gorgeous tanned body.
"This is Finnick Odair. He is a model and this is his first big acting role," Seneca said. Finnick smiled.
"Alright, time for shooting," Seneca said.
Shooting was exhausting. Finally, I made my way to my limo, where Darius, my security guard was waiting. I was about to get in, when I heard someone call for me. I turned to see Gale.
"You forgot this," Gale said, handing me my jacket.
"Thanks," I said, taking it as another limo pulled up. It was Meretriz Lewis, sporting a short jeans shorts and a lacy sleeveless top. I fought the urge to wonder if she was feeling really cold.
"Baby!" Meretriz said and gave Gale a deep kiss, before pulling him to the limo. Gale gave me an apologetic look before waving me goodbye. I was about to get in when I saw Finnick put on his hoodie and begin to walk.
"Finnick!" I called. He turned.
"Need a ride? I can drop you home if you want," I said. Finnick looked shocked.
"It's okay," he said.
"No, it's fine, really," I said. Finnick walked closer.
"If you insist," he whispered.
So, there you go. It's chapter 1. What did you think?
