Spencer's POV
It has been three weeks that Ashley and I have been together. Things have been goon and others have been bad. The good things are that Ashley has been amazing. My parents adore her, She also met my older brother Glen. He tried to be the protective brother but that didn't last long. All it took was a game of Black Ops for Glen to completely accept Ashley. That Davies Charm seems to work on everybody.
Unfortunately, it is getting harder and harder to keep our secret. People at school are questioning the 'mysterious car that drops me off every morning at school' and the 'the cute random gifts I find in my locker'. Ashley has not had an interview since the Ellen show but people are still trying to guess who Ashley's 'Mystery Girl' is. Magazines and television News cannot stop talking about it.
Right now Madison, Heather, and I were sitting on a table drinking out coffee on the second floor of the mall, watching movie magic. Ashley landed another movie and it was being filmed in Ohio so Ashley could still attend school and play basketball. The plan was that after school and on weekends she would work on the movie. Today was the fist day. They were shooting a mall scene and they decided to shoot it at the mall downtown. We all came to support Ashley and watch her acting skills. And I also needed more film for my camera.
The mall was crowded. I noticed there were a lot of kids from both North Shore and Lincoln High watching as well.
So they had only been shooting for about half an hour before all hell broke loose. One of the girls in the movie got mad and punched one of the crew members. She ended up getting fired right on the spot by the director.
The crowd of people watching were whispering to each other while the cast and crew of the movie were talking amongst themselves. The director was pissed. You could see how his face was red and there was a single vein popping out of his forehead as his assistant followed him to the director chair. Ashley was talking with the two other co-stars of the movie. They all looked worried. I looked once again to the director. He was slumped on his chair with a faraway look in his eyes, deep in thought. Then with new found confidence, he stood up and looked around him. It looked like he was searching for something in the crowd of people. Or someone.
He looked up and his eyes landed on mine and he immediately brightened. He came up to the second floor and walked towards our table, everyone watching in confusion.
"Hello my name is Jack. I'm the director of this movie." he introduced himself.
"I'm Spencer, thats Madison and Heather." i tell him.
"Mind if I sit?"
"Go ahead" Heather answers. He pulls up a chair and he sits facing me.
"Spencer, how would you like to be in my movie?"
Is this guy serious?
"I'm sorry?" i ask confused
"You would be perfect for this role. You have the innocence, the beauty, and the cute smile that makes everyone melt."
"I'm sorry but i really don't think I'm the one you are looking for. I don't even know how to act." i tell him.
He looks around and his eyes land on my KODAK shopping bag.
"Are you still in school?" he asks
"Yes, its my senior year" i answer.
"So right now is the time when you have to start thinking about your future and all that stuff right?"
"Yeah i guess"
"Have you given any thought on what you want to become when you are older?"
"What's with all the questions?" Madison asks him before i could reply
"Are you interested in any career with directing or anything to do with film?" he asks ignoring Madison's question
"Well, yeah" i admit
"If you accept this job for this movie, you could also work with the crew."
"what like an internship?" Madison asks.
"Yeah, like an internship." Jack confirms.
"Are you serious?" i ask in disbelief
"Completely. You do this job for me, and i will pay you, work out a schedule that you could work with, you could work with myself and any of the other crew members with the filming an directing as an intern. And if you prove to be good at it, I will write you a recommendation letter. As for the acting, i have a feeling you would be good at it."
"Wow" I'm speechless "Um can i have some time to think about it?"
"Sure. I have a couple of things i need to sort out right now but come down to the set when you have an answer." he tells me standing up from his chair. He then hands me a stage pass. "Here, this will get you past security." With that he walks off.
"Oh my god. Spence, he just handed you your future career." Madison says once he is out of earshot.
"Are you actually interested in film?" Heather asks curiously.
"Yes. It's a dream of mine to attend NYU." I tell her.
"Are you going to do it? You should do it. It would be great for you.
Madison tells me. Its true, it would be great for me. I could learn new things about filming, get a recommendation letter, and get into a good school. He also said he would pay me for being in the movie. I could put that in my college fund. Also he said we could work out a schedule. I wouldn't have to miss school or cheerleading practice. Ashley doesn't seem to have a hard time juggling school, basketball, and work. Oh my gosh, Ashley. What would she think about this?
As if reading my mind, Ashley shows up by our table with her two other co-stars.
"Hey girls. I'm Nikki Reed and this is Nina Dobrev and Ashley Davies" the girl introduced herself.
"We know who Ashley is." Madison states.
I kick he food under the table and give her a look that says, 'They don't know about Ashley's private life' She seems to understand because she tries to retrace her words.
"I mean... Uh, we have seen her, uh... in her other movies."
"Right..." So Jack told us about the offer. Are you gonna do it?" Nikki asks.
"I don't know. It would really help with my college plans."
"You know, Jack is really well respected in the Film industry. A recommendation letter form him is a guarantee into any film school in the country." Nina states.
"Yeah and the internship will definitely give you an advantage." Nikki adds.
That's true. I look towards Ashley to see if she has anything to add on to that.
"You should do what you want to do." she tells me.
"I think... I think i should call my parents." i say as i stand up. I leave the three celebrities to chat with Madison and Heather.
I called my mom and explained the situation to her. She was ecstatic that i was being given this opportunity. She encouraged me to do what i wanted and that she would support me with my decision. After i told her my decision i hung up and went back to the table.
"Can we go down to the set? i want to Jack."
We went down to the set and found Jack. They all left to give us some privacy.
"Spencer, have you thought about my offer?"
"Yes i have."
"And?..." he asks with a hopeful look on his face.
"I'll do it." i tell him
"YES!" he fist pumps the air.
"But..." i interrupt
"But?"
"We have to work out a schedule because i have school and cheerleading practice. Oh and my parents want to meet with you to talk about everything." i tell him
"That is no problem at all"
"Ok then. When do we start?"
I ask with a smile.
"Um, Do you have anything planned for the next couple of hours?"
"Nope"
"Well then we have to get you to make up and wardrobe, while I tell everyone the situation."
On set...
"Spencer we have decided to keep your first name for the movie, is that alright?"
"Yeah thats fine"
"Ok so your character is Spencer Johnson. She works at the coffee shop at the mall. In this scene, you are chatting with your friends but your boss calls you over to serve another customer. You turn around but you accidentally bump into Ashley Knight. We also decided to keep Ashley's first name.
"Wait, Ashley?"
"Yes, you will be playing her love interest in this movie. Is that a problem?" he asks genuinely concerned.
"No not at all" i reply
"Anyways you bump into her and almost fall over but she catches you by the waist. Make sure your eyes connect. Once they do, you have to act surprised because later on in the computer we are going to make her eyes change color."
"Ok i could do that. Do i have any lines?" i ask
"Just improvise when you are talking with your friends. After your boss calls you over you just have to say 'You guys are going to get me fired if you keep distracting me' you think you can do that?"
"Yeah i got it"
"Ok we will see how that goes. If we get that scene done soon, we will keep going."
"Ok"
"Alright places everybody!" he yells out to everybody.
I am taken to a table where i will be starting my scene.
I am going to be playing Ashley's love interest. This should be interesting.
"and... ACTION!"
Alright that is all for this chapter. What would you all like to see next? More time in set? Or a couple of months into the making of the movie?
