A/N: Hi!! It's been a while! I know this is an extremely short chapter but nevertheless, enjoy! Look forward to more frequent updates as well!

"What do you mean?" Sophie asked, eyes widening in confusion. She inched herself closer to the closest corner of the limo she sat in— farther away from Brielle. The cold window, protecting the vehicle from rain, brushed against Sophie's back, preventing her from scooting even further. Brielle raised an eyebrow in suspicion, and nonchalantly smiled.

"Don't you know what I mean?" Brielle chuckled. "It seems like you and the other actors are quite close... it would do no harm to help me to be that as well." Brielle picked at her navy blue nails as Sophie nodded.

"Ah... yeah sure Brielle. I'm really not that close with them either, I just met them a few weeks ago in the first meeting... maybe it'd be better to ask Biana-" Sophie said as she pulled at her eyelashes— a nervous habit of hers— before Brielle cut her off.

"We're all friends though, aren't we?" Brielle asked in a higher pitched tone. "So there shouldn't be any issue."

"Ok sure..." Sophie said before her voice trailed off into silence. What does she even mean? Sophie internally shook her head. After all, she had no idea what she agreed to— she just wanted to end the conversation.

"Great! Thank youuuu!" Brielle squealed. "Want to listen to some music?"

Sophie nodded as Brielle connected her phone to the limo.

Despite the change in the atmosphere, Sophie couldn't help but to continue wondering. I thought Brielle and the other actors were already close, so why did she care so much? And why did she mention Keefe at first? Sophie contemplated these thoughts as Brielle scrolled through Twitter on her phone. Maybe it's because since we're a team of actors, we need to get to know each other. Yeah, that seems right.

"C'mon! Let's take a selfie together to commemorate our first photo shoot for The Void!" Brielle laughed as she motioned for Sophie to move out of the corner.

Sophie chuckled, maybe there was nothing to worry about in the first place. She probably just wants to get to know everybody.

"Cheese!" Sophie and Brielle said a the same time. "Jinx!" They both chuckled in response.

"Are you excited to act?" Brielle asked with curiosity.

"Of course! I've always liked acting, but I was too afraid to— well until now at least!" Sophie grinned, happy that she could get to know Brielle more.

"I'm a bit worried actually... I've never acted before. My manager said that I should try, so I did. But I'm not sure..." Brielle shrugged. Sophie nodded. She could understand where Brielle was coming from.

"Don't worry, you got this! That reminds me though, shouldn't we memorize the scripts before shooting tomorrow?" Sophie asked until a wave of anxiousness passed by her.

"Oh noooo! I literally forgot about that. Let's practice it then!"

——————————-

You have arrived at your destination.

Brielle smiled as waved goodbye as Sophie left the limo and entered her apartment.

However, as Sophie glanced at the reflection on her apartment window, she couldn't help but to notice that Brielle's smiled morphed into a frown.
