Chapter 2: Colin was deep in thought, he was wondering if he would ever reveal his love to Katie. Right now he was having a lot of doubts and negative thought, on whether Katie actually liked him- a lot. Or if telling her is a good thing, maybe Bradley interrupting them was a sign saying you shouldn't tell her. Colin was really confused and was at a point that he just couldn't be bothered with all this any more. Why now, what if she doesn't like me and all this just ends up with me getting humiliated in front of her? All these things were swimming in his mind like a confusing jigsaw with one missing piece.
Bradley had been thinking too. He was getting very suspicious of Colin. He had noticed, the way Colin looked at Katie. The way his eyes shone up like rubies, his face glowed as bright as the sun. The frown on his mouth replaced by the gorgeous smile everyone loved. Everything he had just been doing forgotten, it was just her and him. Bradley should have felt happy for the guy, because he was Bradley's best friend, but instead he felt angry and jealous when he saw them together. And the worst part was, he didn't even know why.
The room was dark and lifeless. It looked liked it hadn't been used in a long time; a very long time. It was very large with lots of windows that were all dirty and all covered up. The moth-eaten curtains were swimming in cobwebs. They were draped so that no light was visible from the dusty windows. In the centre of the room was a huge rounded table, with chairs all around it. It all looked old but modern at the same time. It was made from a very good quality wood- even the chairs.
"And this is what exactly?" asked Bradley, they had all come on set to film an episode of merlin, when the director took them into this mysterious room.
"This is gonna be Arthur's round table. Well now that Uther is dead, Arthur is king and makes the round table part of the tradition. Its all in the script- for those of you who bothered to read it!" growled the director, he glared at everyone around him, purposely keeping his gaze longer at Bradley.
Bradley put up his hands in defeat and shrugged his shoulders, a look on his face saying 'all right you caught me!'
. "Wow, this really is an amazing and unique place! This is great for the shooting Jeremy!"
Katie roamed around the room, her hand stroking the magnificent wood of the table. It felt cold and hard but very smooth. She breathed in the dusty air and closed her eyes. She imagined King Arthur sitting on one of the chairs with all his knights in shining armour, and Gwen by his side. She loved the legend of King Arthur, and the fact that there are lots of versions. The version they act in is the best in her opinion, because Gwen always comes back to King Arthur. Lancelot never really wanted to hurt Arthur when he kissed Gwen, as he was possessed by Morgana. In the end Lancelot showed that he was always by the kings side, by sacrificing himself.
"Hello?! Katie? Are you with us?"
Katie opened her eyes, and switched back into reality mode. She blinked into focus and saw Bradley waving his hand in front her, calling out her name.
"See, told she was still alive Colin!" He said rolling his eyes.
Katie scanned the room to find Colin and found him blushing and smiling the smile Katie had always loved. She laughed at his worrying thought. He blushed even more. Suddenly everyone in the room was laughing at Colin blushing- it was quite a funny sight. Bradley was feeling all mushy and gooey inside, he felt a pang of pain in his chest when looking at Colin. He acted casual and laughed along with everyone else on the outside. But on the inside he was wondering what the heck was going on with him.
Katie ran into her room and flopped on her luxurious bed. It smelt fresh and felt of soft, silky feathers. She stretched her arms and relaxed. She was knackered. She just had been on set for 6 hours straight- on one 5 minute break to catch your breathe and eat a mini snack. She thought about her role as Morgana. Morgana was evil and ruthless. Katie liked acting as Morgana. It was exciting, not care about anything or anyone- except the throne (plus Katie liked shouting at people and throwing them around). Morgana would anything to get the throne, and besides everything she had been through, she never gave up. Whilst thinking of Morgana and her day, Katie realized that she was still wearing her costume and makeup!
She dragged herself off her comfy bed and walked into her bathroom. She turned on the light and looked at herself in the mirror. She was a right mess: her mascara was streaked right down her cheeks. The white powder on her face became lumpy and sticky. Her hair was still tangled and stringy from being Morgana all day. Katie was in a black dress, cut so that a bit of her chest was showing. The top piece of the dress was nett over some black velvet. The dress was tight at the waist to make her boobs look big. Then came the bottom half of the dress which came down to her ankles. She really looked the part. Katie, half asleep, stripped down to her feet and stumbled in to shower. She turned it on not noticing the sharp coldness of the water piercing her body. She was to tired to bother with that. Once she had washed her body and shampooed and conditioned- a few times, just to get hair back to what it normally is, she turned the water off and wrapped a towel round her. She then got dressed, brushed her teeth and crawled in to bed. Katie started to think about Colin. She had always liked Colin, but then again who didn't? His mysterious blue eyes, his cheeky wide grin and his messy black hair. But Katie didn't know if she loved him or not, she loved him as a friend, but she didn't know about her love towards him going any further than that.
