He stared at me, and slowly, a smirk spread itself across his face and he grabbed his jacket off of the Mackenzie falls table, threw an arm around me, and walked next to me out to the car, ignoring the horrified calls of his castmates and the shouting from his outraged director.
"Sonny, I l-"
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I jolted awake in bed, cheeks flushing red in embarrassment. No way! I couldn't believe I'd had another dream about him. Stupid three named jerk throb. Finally rembering the reason I'd woken, I grabbed her phone.
1 missed call from Mom (0405378894)
Sighing, i pressed 'Call back'.
"SONNY!"
I held the phone away from my ear as she continued to shout into the phone. I waited until she had to stop to breath before pressing the phone back to my ear.
"Hey Mom, what's up?" I asked, my voice thick with sleep.
"Hm? Oh! You weren't listening?"
"No, i just asked what was wrong for the fun of it," I rolled my eyes.
"You never were a morning person," Mom laughed. I grumbled under my breath and Tawni groaned in her sleep.
"What is it? Tawni will murder me if I wake her from her 'Beauty Sleep'."
"Oh, Right! Well, your dad was wondering if we could come see you at work next week?"
"You called at-" I checked my alarm. "5 am, to ask me if you could come to work next week?" I asked, horrified.
"Sorry-I just thought I'd forget if I waited...Just go back to sleep Sweetie, I'll call you later."
"I'll ask the Director if it's okay for you guys to come." I caved, smiling to myself as I laid back against the pillow.
"Thankyou. Sleep tight,"
"You too," I whispered back and pressed the end call button, tossing my phone to the side and pulling the covers back up.
Sarah was arguing with the mailman when we arrived on set for the first time. I hadn't seen Chad at breakfast at the hotel that morning, but Tawni wouldn't tell me anything I asked where he was. It was an indoor set, with round lights all over the roof to light up the bookstore set, which was incredibly realistic, complete with isles, bookshelves filled to the brim with books, a tiled floor, wooden walls, a desk and a door that would act as the door to a backroom. There was also a desk to the side with a coffee maker on it, and a few tables and chairs. So the set was one of those Coffee serving bookshops.
"I will not change the mail plan just so you don't have to come here early." Sarah said calmly, her hands clenched around her notepad so tightly that her knuckles were going white.
"Well, I'm not gonna keep getting up and six am," The guy whined. His black curly hair resembled an afro, in a bad way.
"Alright, do i have to hire a new mailman?" Sarah asked nonchalantly.
"Aunt Sarah-one, Mailman-Zero," Tawni chuckled.
"N-no Miss. I'll get to work."
Sarah smiled and walked over to us, a friendly grin lighting up her features.
"Hey girls. Sonny, Tawni told me you haven't read the script?" She sounded only slightly disapproving, so I nodded, feeling ashamed. I really should've read it.
"Sorry. I just didn't really have time on my hands what with So Random-"
"Oh no, no, no, It's perfectly fine," She smiled. "I've got a script in the dressing room for you two. Tawni, it's the same one that Selena used for Camp Hip Hop, you remember it don't you?"
Tawni nodded dreamily. "That room...Is a dream..." She snapped out of it. "And there are plenty of Mirrors so I can see my pretty!"
Sarah smiled, amused and then nodded to me. "I hope you have fun, Mr. Condor explained that it's your first movie. We're working hard to make it a good experience, so good luck."
"Thankyou." I smiled.
"I'll see you two in about an hour. Read the script, and then get in costume for scene three."
"What about scene one and two?"
"They get filmed after three. Three's the quickest scene, so we want to get that finished."
"Oh." Tawni beamed at me.
"I'm glad she knows talent like she does," Tawni said proudly as we walked to the dressing room.
"What do you mean?" I asked, frowning.
"The dressing room-It's the best one here, other than the one for Chad, but I'm over that. It's a guys one anyway. Ooh we're here!"
She pushed a door open and then bounded inside.
I glanced in and felt shock jolt through me. The room was huge, and pink and cuter than ever, and there was my script on the dressing table...
I picked it up, glanced at the title only once, and opened it. 'Pretty little Liar' was about Genevieve –Gen- (Me) a girl who lived in Paris with her sister Elle (Tawni), moving to Phoenix, where she starts regularly going to a book/coffee shop that she really likes. There she meets jerky coffee server Chase (Chad). Chase and Genevieve get closer each day when he serves her coffee and then sits down to chat to her while she reads, against her will. Seeing as he's always trying to one-up her, she starts telling lies about her life to one-up him instead. This backfires after Chase offers to walk her home one night, and sees that her Mom isn't really a singer, like Genevieve said, but a baker. He cant understand why she lied, so he leaves in a rush. Genevieve doesn't go after him, instead running into her house and telling Elle about what she'd done. Elle and Gen have a girls night out, where Gen figures out why she lied to him. It was because she had feelings for him and wanted him to think she was important, so he'd like her too. After finding Chase, and a teary confession, Chase tells her not to tell lies anymore. She agrees not to, and the two begin to date, overcoming the lies easily.
All in all, it was a cute storyline.
"Isn't it cool?" Tawni beamed. "We're from Paris!"
"Only in the script, Tawn." I couldn't help but beam too.
"Did you see the kiss scene? It's the cutest-"
"Kiss scene?" I questioned her, horrified.
"Mmmhmm. You and Chad..." A smirk spread across her lips. "Don't lie, you've wanted this Forever, Sonny!"
I glowered at her.
She raised her hands in surrender. "Come on. I'm too pretty to be beaten up by a ball of sunshine. Let's costume up!"
After getting into our costumes (I was wearing a light brown plaid pleated skirt, black stockings, black mary janes, a dark red long sleeve v-neck top, my hair was curled more than usual and i had a light brown beret on my head, Tawn wore a pink plaid pleated skirt, a cute pink sweater, black knee length boots with an inch heel, and her hair was pulled into a braid.) Tawn and I made our way to set three, where scene three would be started.
Chad was there, dressed in navy jeans, a blue t shirt and a dark blue apron.
He smirked when he saw us coming.
"Nice hat," He chuckled.
"I like it," I said defensively.
"I'm sure you do." He said, placing a book down on the shelf beside him.
"Places everyone!" Sarah called.
"Hey what was that supposed to mean?" I asked, glaring at him.
"What do you think it means?"
"I don't know!" I said, frustrated.
"Well then I guess that's just too bad."
"Fine! I didn't care anyway!" I lied through my teeth.
"Fine!"
"Good!"
"Goo-"
"Can you two please just get ready for the scene?" Sarah asked exasperatedly.
"Oh...Yes..." I got into place, beside the book shelf, making it look like i was browsing.
"Action!"
I let my finger wander across the book covers, actually reading the headings. I pulled one book out, looked at it, then slid it back in.
"Are you gonna buy a book or are you just here to bore me to death?" An arrogant voice asked.
I spun around, and in my best French accent, i asked him to repeat himself, looking offended. He said it again, and this time I glared at him.
"That's very rude, Sir. Do you work here?" i asked accusingly.
"As a matter of fact, I do. So pick a book, you've been here for over an hour."
"I'll look around for as long as i want to, Thankyou." I snapped.
He grabbed my arm as I went to turn away from him. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach, making me feel like hyperventilating.
"Even the manager has his doubts about you know," He said, still in character as he gestured to a small bald man.
"Well, when I buy a book he will no longer have doubts, will he?" I smirked at him, holding back my feelings for now.
He let go of my arm, frowning.
"What's your name?"
I pretended to look confused.
"...Genevieve..."
"There's something about you Genevieve."
"Again, rude! I should just-"
"No, no...not in a bad way...at least, i don't think in a bad way..." He contemplated her curiously, and then nodded. "Buy coffee when you're done."
"And Cut!"
Breathing a sigh of relief, i darted away from Chad, who watched in amusement as i got as far away from him as possible in the set.
Today was going to be a loooong day.
