february 14

We all sit on the couch as I play the bathroom scene on the screen of my laptop for everyone in the cast. That is, everyone except the group of girls who said they'd bring some people to play extras in the party scene. There's two other scenes, the second bathroom scene and the bathtub scene. Summer dressed Vanessa in a similar tank top and jean jacket with leggings. Not something Vanessa would normally wear, but it fits the setting and character. 

"That was pretty good," Summer says, sitting on the headboard of the couch behind me. 

"It was great," Vanessa kisses my cheek.

In the past 20 minutes, Vanessa has been so clingy and all over me. She keeps her finger in my belt loop at all times and has kissed my cheek randomly about 11 times. And I keep wondering if being her Valentine means her being my girlfriend afterwards. I'm not sure I'm still up for that.

The doorbell rings. Summer gets up to get it, hitting me in the cheek with her hip on accident. I listen to the sound of her feet padding on the linoleum flooring and then the sound of the door opening. I hear Mikayla's voice and a few other peoples' voices. Then lots of voices. I get up and see a swarm of people filling up.

"Where's the beer?" one guy asks at one point.

I was expecting maybe 10 people at most. Now, there's about 32. I show them to the attic where my dad keeps his beer. He won't realize it's even gone. Then we start shooting the scene.

When it's my turn to bring Vanessa a beer, Summer holds the camera for me. People don't actually realize this is a shooting for our project, which is sorta good and sorta bad. It's cool that they're acting like normal teenagers at parties, but they keep bumping into us and spilling stuff. 

Summer throws glitter at the bathroom fan when Vanessa is doing the mirror breaking scene. For that part, I found a mirror in the back of my closet and let her break that. She's really holding something hard in her hand to break it because breaking a mirror with your bare hands would cause lots of blood loss. 

Vanessa does great. At one point, she gets so into it that she starts to actually tear up. She tells me in between shots that she actually has always wanted to be an actress. Summer tells her she has the talent, which surprises me because Summer is about as nice as Jeffrey Dahmer. Except when I jokingly tell her this, she defends him.

"Jeffrey Dahmer killed people, yes. But does that really mean his personality was true evil? I believe that just because someone is a murderer, doesn't make them a bad person." I sorta agree with her.

When shooting is done, Vanessa lets me touch her boobs while we kiss in my room.
