Most the kids signed up to be extras but we needed some one to take us all.
Trent's Mom is like the nicest person alive. She took us, I mean Trent,
Sherry, Reggie, Sam, Twist, Otto, Eddie, Davey, Tommy, and me. It was an
interesting trip. Tommy wouldn't talk to Twister and Sherry tried to avoid
talking to Tommy. Reggie was embarrassed by Otto and Twist and extremely
uncomfortable around Trent who got all tense and quiet when Reg looked over
to him
"Trent," I waved my hand passed his eyes, "Trent...Earth to Trent."
"What is it Trish," Trent said slightly harsh.
I frown, "Nothing," I look out the window Sherry sat in the front talking to Trent's Mommy. I sat next to Trent and he next to Eddie. Sherry wouldn't speak to Eddie because of the tacky thing. Then behind us Reggie Davey and Sam sat. Davey kept playing with my hair it was some what annoying. Tommy Otto and Twist sat in the way back facing back wards. They were completely isolated unless the 3 roared with laughter.
"Trish," Trent frowned, "I'm sorry I am just so up tight." I nod, "Kitten don't be mad at me." He tried to look innocent, "Trish...hey hey with monkees people say we monkey around but were to busy singin to put any buddy down," I couldn't help but smile as he whispered in a singsong voice.
"I just wanted to know what you wanted to get for lunch," I said.
"Tacos Duh!" Trent said Davey ran his fingers though my hair, I gave a disgusted look and Trent removed Dave's hand.
"How can you think about lunch," Trent asked, "We just had breakfast."
"So I'm hungry" I told him.
"No you're bored," Trent said I nodded.
"Where here," Reg said as everyone pushed to the window. It took about 15 minutes to get in the gate then we waited and waited and waited. Every so often people were brought onto the lot.
"When are we going to be stars?" Sherry sighed I shrugged.
"Who knows, girlfriend," Trent said. We sat on some bleachers, "Tommy Dave even Eddie got in."
Reggie floated over, "the guys got called," I moved over and she sat in- between Trent and I. Trent tensed up, "I think we'll go in next."
"I hope so," Sherry said, "Tommy keeps staring at me."
"I just want to surf," I sighed. Trent let out a laugh.
"Ummm you four," The lady came out Sheryy and Reg squealed, "Come on then," the four of us passed Otto, Twist and Sam on the way in.
The assistant scurried over, "Let's see yes yes boy over there girls sit at the table until Kevin says, 'What do you care...' then stand up throw food away and leave the set. Pretend you're talking." Then the director moved to the boy stand-ins. The three of us sat down I faced the two of them they wanted to see the actor, Kevin boring who cares about that stuck up freak. Everything went smoothly until we stood up. After three steps I slipped and tripped. Kevin caught me mid fall sigh it was so romantic he looked me in the eyes and asked, "You all right?" Was that my heart pound eeeee yes it was!
"Yes, thanks," I blushed oh boy how embarrassing.
"Cut," the director ran over, "That was amazing!" The director looked around, "Write her in the script as Joe's new attraction but not so big like here where Joe and Anna are fighting make her walk by make Joe watch her walk by. And here make her do a problem or something on the board and instead of paying attention to what Nick is saying watch her...What's your name?"
"Trish" I answer confused the director seemed really excited but I was not quite sure what he just said.
"Can you come back tomorrow...and stay to the end of the day?" he asked.
"Well I...uh have to ask my mom," I said.
"Everyone take lunch," The director had someone get Trent's Mom.
"I'd be happy to stay in LA with you if your mom approves," Trent's mom says.
"Really!" I gasped.
"Yes it will be fun," she beamed brushing my hair behind my ear, "I'll just take the other guys home. You and Trent can stay on the lot I'll be back before five when the lot closes."
"What about Sherry?" I glance at her she did not want to leave and I certainly did not want her to.
"Sherry—can stay too," Trent's mom said, Sherry was jumping with excitement. Trent's Mom then left to take the other kids home.
"This is so exciting Trish," Trent smiled for me.
I shrugged, "It's not that big of deal."
"It's so a big deal," Sherry twinkled her eyes as they began to pick out clothes for me.
My character did not have a name she was just 'Joe's attraction,' in the end it was suppose to look like we would get together eventually. Kevin was a great actor he did everything right. People said I was a natural. I did the whole in the hall at school walking passed Joe and his nagging girlfriend thing. The movie was about relationships. Joe and Anna's was just one relationship. There was a married couple who had lovely affairs, a whole girl and guy from different races but they were truly in love, a 70- year -old with a 20-year-old. Mostly it was about how you work so hard to be in love but love can be more trouble then its worth and then sometimes it just works. I was in a few scenes that first day I was there, these were the scenes with Joe and Anna.
When I got back the next day my name was on the call sheet like pratically on the very bottom under waiter #2 and above lady with baby, "girl #2- Trish," Sherry bounced up and down clapping her hands she was more excited then I was, "This is so cool," she hugged me.
"Trish," a lady came up, "Come on you need to do make-up."
Sherry's eyes sparkled at the thought, "You get your make-up done."
"Chill Sher, next thing you know you'll ask to go with her," Trent shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Can they?" I asked.
"Sure," the lady led us to a make-up artist. I think waiter #1 was there in the seat next to me. The Make-up artist just touched me up nothing major.
"Wow foundation," Sherry sighed. She was so into it that the artist gave her a bit of a touch up too. Sherry sang the whole way over to get my hair done.
"Jeez Sherry," Trent said.
"Can't I be excited about my friend," Sherry glared at him, "Oh a straighter."
"Yeah I'm excited for her too—not because of a hairbrush," Trent said.
The hairdresser curled the ends of my hair, "But Trent, it's such a round hairbrush," I said he laughed.
"Its not fair if I hadn't wanted to sign up you'd be trying to surf right now," Sherry sighed.
"Thanks Sherry," I said although it was a coincidence and it would not be that big of deal a week after opening day.
My first out fit was a short skirt and a long jacket (So cliché) I was suppose to be watching the hockey game, Joe was playing in it he would look up to see Anna leave. Then look back at the puck, score look at me and then I would smile and wave. Trent got to extra as a viewer and Sherry did too. They sat far away from me though.
I did about two more scenes similar to that one where Joe would be disappointed about Anna and then he'd see me. We would lock eyes or I would turn and blush. Then it was a break for us they ran a scene with the 20-year-old. We were allowed to eat for an hour.
We met Trent's Mom she had been shopping and had seen a talk show taping.
"Taco," Trent said, he and Sherry had reoccurred as extras in about three scenes.
"How was it Trish?" his mom asked.
"Great it was fun and interesting. Sherry had fun too." I answered.
"Taco," Trent grumbled.
"That's so great Trish. How about the four of us go to the premier?" She asked.
"Taco," Trent whined as we continued to ignore him.
"That would be great!" Sherry bounced, "I can see me!"
"Taco" Trent repeated.
"Yes can I have your autograph?" I laughed.
"Taco," Trent pulled his mom's arm.
"It will be fun," Trent's Mom says pushing Trent's hands away.
"I'm going to starve!" he wilts to the ground and lays, "Taaaaaaaacoooooooo," he groaned. "Just one little please."
"Oh come on you big baby," His Mom says walking to the restaurant at the studio. Trent recovered and followed at her heals.
Sherry and I laughed at him, "Oh Sherry I have not eaten since 5 this morning if I wait five more minutes I'll just die right here."
Trent gives me a look, "You too?" Sherry says.
"Well then you better order first," Trent's Mom said. Trent gasped as the three of us took ten minutes to order.
"Trent," I waved my hand passed his eyes, "Trent...Earth to Trent."
"What is it Trish," Trent said slightly harsh.
I frown, "Nothing," I look out the window Sherry sat in the front talking to Trent's Mommy. I sat next to Trent and he next to Eddie. Sherry wouldn't speak to Eddie because of the tacky thing.
