It Couple In Trouble
KATHERINE:
It is great that Annabeth is back in Hollywood. Unfortunately for me, I have been wondering around the area and I stayed over at Aphrodite's house. She didn't mind. In fact, she was happy to give me fashion tips and I stayed until I heard that Annabeth was back. I know, why didn't I just go back? Well, if I went back, what would I be doing ? I'm not that much into fashion and I have just gotten into this biz. I needed guidance. Besides, the school is happy to give me a graduation certificate this early because they believe that my career is starting.
Now, I'm on my way back to Annabeth's house. I left Aphrodite's with manners, etiquette and tips in my head. I had told her 'no fashion tips' but she insisted and after a few minutes of showing me a few dresses she thought would look good on me, I agreed. In my defense, I actually looked beautiful. I wonder what Peter would think ? The more I think about Peter, the more I miss him. He went back to NY. He keeps giving me updates. He said that his parents are paying more attention to him. I'm glad.
So, here I am, pulling up outside of the house. I took my suitcase and walked inside. Lorelai was lounging on a sofa, reading her texts. She looked up when I entered and smiled.
"Oh, you're back," She stated and then turned to her texts again. "Want me to tell Annabeth ?" She asked without looking up.
"Um, no. I'll surprise her," I looked around, cautiously. "Where is she ?" Lorelai pointed to the pool and I smiled. I slipped into the back room and stripped down to my tee shirt and shorts. Then, I carefully opened the back door. I slipped out. When I was near the perimeter of the pool, I ran and jumped in. When I resurfaced, I saw Annabeth yank off her sunglasses. Her eyes widened when she saw me.
"Katherine !" She exclaimed. She was smiling so big that I hoped she won't tear her cheeks. "When did you get back ?"
"Just now," I was swimming to the edge. "Just so you know, Aphrodite wants me to come to your premiere. She said that she already picked the perfect dress for me in advance."
"Oh, okay. I just don't know when the premiere is," She stated.
"Hey," I said, looking at her fingers. "Are you gonna tell me about the ring, right there ? I heard rumours but I wanna know."
Annabeth crossed her legs. "Promise you won't spill it to paparazzi ?" I nodded.
She took a deep breath. I rolled my eyes at her dramatic effect. "He promised that he will not let me go and that he will marry me some day." I raised an eyebrow.
"Some day ?" I asked. Annabeth had half a smile on her face.
"I dunno. Percy still needs to secure a base for his career. He's currently doing acting, I think. Singing is something we'll figure out after he has a permanent fanbase," She told me. Oh, that remind me. I want to look for a career too. I mean, I can't stay cooped up in Annabeth's house forever. I'm in freakin' Hollywood, for that matter. I could get an audition whenever I wanted to. And I'm thinking about right now.
"Annabeth, I want to audition for a show," I told her. Annabeth tilted her head to the side.
"What kind of show ?" She asked. I shrugged.
"What kind of shows are there ?" I asked. She grinned.
"Lorelai !"
...
Half an hour later, we were all bent over the coffee table, looking at audition sheets for the start of my career. Lorelai had picked them up from all over the place. There were some that dated a few months back and are still running. Annabeth had tied up her golden hair into a loose hairband and was busy reading the sheets, Lorelai was busy tapping on her phone, looking for online audition dates and I was sorting the sheets.
All of the 'show body, almost sex scene or nude' type of entertainment were all thrown into the dustbin. I now faced the young adults, teens or kids criteria. I decided to push away the kid criteria because I wasn't good with kids. I guess I could do teens and adults. Lorelai showed me a few auditions but they were for only one scene extras or one episode characters. I need a show that I can star in as a main role or a recurring role so that people will recognize me.
Okay so maybe they remember me from the Hollywood Games but, that is not the point. I wonder how Peter's doing ? I hope he isn't cheating on me or something. Our relationship is still on the awkward stage because we rarely get touchy feely and aren't fans of PDA.
After getting the sheets for auditions I want to go to, I asked Annabeth to accompany me. Then she called Percy to accompany her. He arrived a few minutes later in a purple polo shirt and black jeans. I got ready and Annabeth changed. After about an hour, we were in front of the first location for my first audition.
The audition is for a sitcom, Lists of Mercy. It was a dark/romance/supernatural sitcom. It's about a girl who was always the freak in the place. But one day, she gets bestowed with a a dangerous gift by mistake and it adds a spark of evil in her that she has to try and control. The spark will try to encourage her to get revenge. Her longtime best friend will try to help her and we will all know how it ends.
Annabeth sits in the waiting room, sunglasses on her head with Percy while I go into the audition room after memorizing an important scene. The 'heroine gets her head straight because of true love' scene.
"And Action !"
"Jake, what are you doing here ?" I am currently acting as Haley, the heroine. Jake is Haley's best friend. " I told you to stay home." I say the lines with as much firmness I could muster because in this scene, I imagine Haley being all worried and strict at the same time.
"I'm sorry but I had to stop you," The actor of Jake, Fin Lawson was pretty good. " You can't do this."
I pretended to turn away. " I'm sorry but I have to." I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"You can't destroy all of humanity. It's just wrong," I turned around quickly. I put on my angry face.
"Wrong ? You say that what I'm doing is wrong ?!" I shouted with all my might. I advanced as he stepped back. " What they did to me was wrong ! They treated me like a freak. After I got hit by this power and they realized it, they want to destroy me. That is not alright with me."
"Haley, I'm sorry for what they did. I saw the list of deaths under your table. I took a look at them. Then, I followed you to any of their houses. When I saw you try to kill them, suddenly, in the middle you would just stop. Like you realize something. Haley, you have to conquer that darkness in you. Don't let it fool you."
I put on a evil smirk. "Easy for you to say. You weren't ever isolated. In fact, you were always the good guy. Being friends with me probably made everyone think that you are 'caring'. I know it's an act."
"No, Haley. It's not an act. I really care about you. I mean it."
"If you really care about me, you'll let me free."
"And, cut," The director said. I breathed out and the two of us turned to the director. He had smiles on his face and it has the word 'pleased' written all over it. "You can go home now. I'll call you in a few days if you get the part." I walked out and Annabeth went to greet me.
"So, how'd it go ?" She asked. I shrugged and saw that Percy's arm was around her waist and some people were taking photographs from outside the audition area. Annabeth frowned. "Don't worry, we'll find another one. On to the next audition !"
The next audition was for a teen show. The title is Country Connection. It's about a girl, Hannah, who always gets what she wants. Then, she's shipped off to the countryside where she meets a new life and new love. I know it's cheesy but what choice do I have ?
I have to act the scene where she is told about the move and she is mad.
"And, Action !" The director, a woman in her thirties will read me the lines of Hannah's parents.
"Honey, we are moving to the countryside next week." I made a shocked face.
"What ? Moving ? You are seriously kidding me ! I can't leave my life here !"
"I'm sorry but it's for the best."
"The best ? Oh I'm sorry, but my best is here ! I can't believe that you are so selfish ! I can't leave civilization. Or Gucci. Or Todd !" I wailed.
"I'm sorry but our decision is finale." I stamped my feet.
"I hate you ! I hate you so much !" I poured out all of my vulnerability in that. The director yelled for a scene cut and told me that she'll call. I came out and told Annabeth that and we decided to take a shot at a few more auditions held that day. After some extremely weird ones, this is the last audition.
The title is Live A Little. It's the story about a girl in her late teens who is a geek. Then, her 'friends' exposed her to a social environment. She gets into a relationship and is cheated on. Then, she becomes a sort of playgirl until she meets her soulmate.
There is this hot guy who will be playing some sort of random guy the girl, Jane, meets at a club and they will be flirting.
"Hey, what's your name ?" I asked, shooting him my flirtatious look. At least that's what I thought it looks like.
"Kevin, I'm guessing your name is Sexy or Hot or Smokin ?" I had to giggle like an idiot.
"Nope, its Jane. But I can live up to those at any day," Then it involved a lot of kissing and I felt wrong, kissing another guy. The director yelled cut and even said the same thing :
I'll call you in a few days.
I will puke ! But Annabeth said that that is how show biz works.
So, do you like this chapter ?
Which of the three should Katherine get to act in ?
Reviews make me happy !
