Hikari's P.O.V.:
I sat in my seat getting three looks, annoyance, shocked, and Hey, your my best friend, cool. Bet you can't guess who was giving me that last one. I noticed one specific person giving me and extra annoyed sort of mad look, Ren Tsuruga, he was one who didn't know me as the hairdresser. I was seated right next to Elizabeth, or as I like to call her Liz, when I saw Kyoko walk out, looking confused and a bit peeved, I have a feeling that finding out that I'm not there as her hairdresser may be the cause, "Oh, looks like someone just found out that I'm not her hairdresser anymore." I told Liz in a sing-song voice in English; apparently, having to act extremely formal and act like you don't know your best friend is extremely hard especially when you only get to see each other at night because you're sort of living together.
Kyoko just then looked out way, and her eyes widened with confusion and curiosity, and she started to power walk over to our seats, "Yep, looks like she just spotted us too, guess it's about time for me to introduce you." Liz replied as Kyoko reached us.
"Why aren't you my hairdresser anymore, and why are you in the good for noth- other director's chair?" Kyoko asked flabbergasted.
"You'll find out in due time, but think about this for a second, didn't you think it was weird for a fourteen-year-old to be a hairdresser?" I asked her.
Kyoko's eyes widened with shock, "You're only fourteen!?" She asked, "I mean I know that you Ms. Asakura were only about fourteen, but Hikari, I didn't know that you were that young too, I swear, I thought you were in your twenties, 18 at least!" Hikari exclaimed, I noticed she got Ren's attention.
"Well, that explains that. So yeah, everything will be explained very soon, you can have follow up questions after." I told her.
"You ready?" Liz asked me. I smirked, handed her a microphone and picked her up, she's extremely light and I'm rather strong so I easily picked her up, I carried her on one of my shoulders, attracting attention as we walked up to the raised set,when I got up their and we stopped we had already attracted a crowd, I looked up at Liz and nodded, she then spoke into the mic and said, "Could we please have all staff to the lobby room set please, once again all staff to the lobby room set, thank you." Within a minute we had all the staff surrounding us, I put Liz down so she could speak without being on my shoulder, "Thank you all, I would like you all to meet and know the co-director, Hikari Jones, Hikari, let's have you say something, remember the test and to tell them the results." Liz whispered the last part about the test in my ear as she handed the microphone to me.
"Hello, my name is Hikari Jones as you now know and I am your new co-director. Now I see the looks you are all giving me, and I can see that you think I'm not cut out for this, but hear me out, I have been here since you've started shooting, pretending to be a hairdresser for Ms. Mogami. However, I was secretly evaluating the actors and actresses, this project is very important to my best friend, Ms. Asakura who asked me to make sure you were all cut out for this." I saw like a of the actors and actresses hearts skip a beat, "but don't worry for all of you who don't have the two main leading roles, you are all fine, you passed, however, Ms. Mogami, Mr. Tsuruga, I would like to see you in my office after I finish here." Aww, so cute, the pure terror in their eyes that they're attempting to cover up. I just want to talk to them about the romance portion of this, "now, other than that, I hope that you all can come to respect me and continue to be very productive. Now go and continue working, thank you." I ended.
I turned off the mic and walked over to Liz who was still on the set a couple feet away from me, we started walking together while I was saying, "Those two look scared, but they're hiding it well." Liz and I can both see through the fasçade actors put up, so we knew that both of them were scared of losing their jobs, "I so have to watch this." She commented.
We walked over to my office, yes, I have an office. We walked in and we both sat at my desk, each of our offices has two desk chairs for us and then four less fancy chairs in front of the desk, in my office I have a couch and a kids table with some children's toys for when my younger siblings visit. I laid my head on Elizabeth's shoulder. I then heard a knocking at the door, and with my head still in the same place I yelled out, "Come in." The door opened and in came a giant and a girl.
