The day came too soon and before I knew it I was about to go into the interview room where tons of people would be coming to interview me separately as well as with my lead costar, Presely.

Cam was standing next to me with a clipboard, running over questions I can and cannot answer, and certain talking points I needed to hit. Prepare for a lot of questions about Harry, don't talk about religion, politics, the usual, and make sure to sell the movie.

Individual interviews were first, the questions were pretty basic and repetitive. I didn't know how many times I could tell them what my super power would be if I could have one. Probably to fast forward time.

Then came time to interview my costar, Presley. He was sweet, up and coming like myself. He was a little bit younger than me and had a lot of potential. He was quiet, very professional, and surprisingly shy.

"Was it hard to do the romantic scenes?" The interviewer asks, I couldn't remember who she was interviewing for.

"No, it was surprisingly easy. We clicked very fast on the set and those scenes weren't as awkward as I thought they'd be," Presley replies easily, his voice was smooth and sure.

"Presley, was it weird for you to have those heated kissing scenes with Thea knowing she's dating Harry?" She pushes.

I had been waiting for Harry to come up.

I didn't know what Presley had been coached to say on the topic of Harry and I. I didn't know if he thought it was a stunt or if he really thought we were in a relationship.

"It's the job, you know? You have to be prepared for those kinds of things when dating an actor or actress," Presley states, shrugging his shoulders and giving me a smile.

I nod, not quite sure what I could add to that statement.

"Is Harry the jealous kind?" The blonde, bright-eyed interviewer asks.

I could tell it was her mission to get the dirt on our relationship.

I knew this is when I would have to put my acting skills to the test, to talk about Harry in regards to our 'relationship.'

"Uh...no? I mean I don't think I give him any reason to be," I recover, glancing off set at Cam to see him give me a thumbs up.

"Is it hard to be in a relationship with someone who has such prominent ex-girlfriends?"

"No, it doesn't bother me. I'm sure they were lovely."

It was the best response I could give, lame but it would make do.

"Do you see your relationship with Harry lasting?" The questions were becoming more invasive and I started to feel uncomfortable.

Presley luckily clears his throat and says, "I'd love to answer more questions about the movie, Melissa."

Melissa's cheeks heat up and she becomes flustered, "Of-of course, what was the hardest..uh the hardest fight scene in the movie?"

It was about three in the afternoon when the press junkets was finally wrapped up. I felt utterly exhausted and ready to fall into my bed after the constant attention on me.

Cam strides over to me, "Great job today, Thea. Jay is waiting outside, you're needed on Harry's set."

"What set are you referring to?"
