Chapter One
The red head rubbed her temples continually, eyes trained on a thick stack of papers which still sat on a tall, round coffee table in front of her. She had been standing in this same position for the past hour and a half, receiving many curious glances from the other employees who were working diligently around her.
She was aware she was slacking off on other jobs she could be doing right now, like getting coffee for the other staff members, or doing some of the extra paperwork that was lying around. But she couldn't bring herself to move, not until she made a decision.
She had recently been offered a new job, starring as one of the leads in a new angst filled romantic comedy movie. The papers had said there would be singing involved, but that wouldn't concern her, because she wouldn't be the one singing, only a face for the voice which they had chosen. And she knew this was a good chance for her, a chance to reach an entirely new audience that she hadn't been able to reach before.
It had actually been because of the L.M.E presidents urging that she had been offered the part. He had told her that playing the character would be beneficial to her growth in the Love Me section, and perhaps an even greater growth in her acting career. Although she was not as optimistic about it as he had been.
The part which she would be playing, if she accepted that is, was of a young girl whose father had left when she was only a child. Ever since then, the girl's mother had blamed her for everything that had happened. As a result the girl grew up to be a very quiet and introverted person.
Kyoko, although naive at times, wasn't stupid- so she saw the obvious tie between her and this character, and she even understood why the president would want her to act her out. He thought that by playing a character she could relate to, that it could bring back the emotions she had once upon a time harbored inside herself.
But that wasn't what held her back from accepting the offer, because that was only a back-story to the main plot. She saw no reason to reject the job over something so trivial. There were other problems though, or at least, one very large one.
Finally moving from the place she'd been silently standing in; Kyoko reached out and grabbed the stack of papers. She flipped through it quickly, stopping at a page that had the word Cast labeled in big black letters at the top.
Most of the cast was still undetermined, and there were various actors' names under each of the character's name, all of whom could potentially end up playing the character. Under the first character, who went by the name Riko, Kyoko's name was listed, followed by two other actors, both of which she had never heard of before. Most likely amateurs just like herself.
Moving her eyes down to the next column, a dark aura began to surround Kyoko. She had spotted, once again, the problem.
Riko's brother, and the main character of the story, Kazuki. He was the problem. Underneath his name sat four other names, the potential actors for his character. First. Yuu Manuzaki. Second. Kouta Suzuki. Third. Jin Yoshida. Fourth. Shou Fuwa. The problem.
I wrote this a while back, and stumbled upon it again today. I think I might try and write more of it since its summer and I have free time now. Review!
