Oblivious

Chapter 1: Repeat Stuff

Today is an extremely nerve wrecking day. I am an extra on the set of one of my favorite comedian's music video. I have no idea what I'm going to do nor what the concept of the video is. All I know is that I'm super excited to meet him.

I arrive on the set which is a parking lot. There's a bunch of people dressed as your typical high school "cool" kids. I was instructed to come in sweatpants and a t-shirt and now I'm confused. "Am I even on the right set?" I thought. All of a sudden, there was a knock on the window. I turned and saw a woman dressed very properly. I lowered the window.

"Hello are you one of the extras?" She asked. I nodded in response. "Alright just leave your car here and I'll take you to the wardrobe and makeup trailer," she said with a smile.

"Alright thanks," I replied as I flashed her a smile. I got out of my car, locked it, and followed her. She lead me to a nice looking trailer and opened the door. I thanked her as I walked into the trailer. There was a girl with striking purple hair sitting in one of the chairs in front of the vanity mirrors. She was chewing gum and tapping away on her phone.

"Umm excuse me?" I asked. She looked up and said, "Oh you're one of the xtras aren't ya?" She asked. She had a bit of an Italian accent. I nodded in response. "Okay sit here." She indicated to the seat that she was sitting in. She fumbled around to get her hair products ready. I sat down on the chair and allowed her to work her magic. She pulled and tugged on my hair. She started spraying stuff in my hair and applying creams and such. She started using the curler on my hair. After a while, she had given me perfect beach waves.

She turned me around and instructed me to close my eyes. She started plucking my eyebrows and then started applying makeup. She covered my acne and moles with a foundation and then applied mascara on my eyelashes. "You got some long lashes girl," she mumbled under breath. She then applied a light pink toned lipstick on and sprayed my face with a setting spray. "Alright open your eyes girl," she said as she turned me around to face the mirror.

"Oh god I look good! Thank you so much," I said as I checked myself out. I didn't even look like me.

"Come on let's get you dressed," she said, pulling me away from the mirror. She looked me up and down and scrunched her face in concentration. "I got it!" She exclaimed. She turned around and ran all the way to the back of the closet. I raised my eyebrow in confusion. She returned clutching clothes. "Here go change," she said as she handed me my clothes. I smiled at her and entered the changing room.

I looked down at the clothes and my stomach started to feel queasy. It was a black tank top with thin straps and it stopped way too soon for me. The skirt was an emerald color and very form fitting. "Whatever," I mumbled as I took my clothes off and slipped on the new ones. I looked in the mirror and immediately felt self conscious. My butt looked really big and so did my hips. I felt like my boobs were exposed. I felt fat and extremely unattractive. I looked at my face in mirror and faked a huge smiled. I walked out and the wardrobe woman looked me up and down again. She gave me a huge smile.

"You look banging!" She exclaimed. I gave her a small smile.

"Thanks."

"Alright now I have someone else waiting outside for their turn so go on," she said as she shoved me to the door.

"Thanks for everything," I said as she closed the door behind the other person. I sighed and looked around. "I wonder where Bo Burnham is," I silently thought to myself.

"Hey girl!" I heard someone yell behind me. I jumped and turned around. "Come on we're getting ready to start filming!"

"I'm sorry," I said to the man. I followed him to the parking lot where everyone was hanging out. There was a car in the middle of it and some skateboards, scooters, and other random props surrounding it. I walked over to where everyone was and just stood there. I am not a very social person so I didn't know what to do.
