To Be Different

Chapter 24

Crossing my fingers, I close my eyes and take in a deep breathe.

This isn't how I wanted my parents and school mates to find out.

I should've told them before.

"3, 2,1." Mr. Martinez says. "We have exactly few minutes for our cast release premier on YouTube and to upload the movie on Netflix. Everyone, take your positions."

I cross my legs and Jace nudges my elbow.

Being the stars of the movie, we are forced to sit next to each other and answer all the necessary questions.

And yes, I'm way too nervous because of the outcome.

I'm afraid of the World after they find out who I really am.

My heart skips and I look up to find the reason why.

It's Paul. In a fresh new cut and designer clothes, he confidently takes a sit next to me, putting me between him and Jace.

Oh, No!

Things are really going to go bad.

I look on my phone, only to find over twenty million people waiting for the premier.

"You good?" Paul whispers

I shake my head, taking in a deep breathe and force myself to look at him.

"They will find out." I tell him. "I'm terrified."

"They where bound to find out Jess." He says calmly. "You are scared of the attention and I on the other hand, I'm holding two identities. Today, the people will find out that I am Jace Cowell. Am I scared? ?"

Crap. I have only been focusing on myself and forgetting about Paul.

He must be going through so much too.
"You can't limit yourself to what people tell, right?" I ask him.

He smiles. "Exactly. You aren't the final word. Just think about that."

The camera focuses on us and the lights go off. A count down, from sixty begins and I close my eyes.

You can do it Jess.

You're not hiding anything.

You can do it.

You are about to become the WORLD'S trash can or the opposite of that.

You're about to make your dreams come true.

That's you have to think about.

The lights automatically focuses on us and we both smile.

"Good evening everyone. The long awaited day finally arrived. The cast release of our movie, "Falling For Jace Norman.

We aren't saying anything at all but just the real names of our actor's and Actresses who made it possible for our movie." Mr. Martinez speaks, mixing a British and English accent.

The focus goes on Jace Norman and he gives them a smirk.

"I am Jace Norman, the executive producer and cast member of our marvelous movie. Can't wait for y'all to watch it." He wink's after speaking.

I know why everyone loves him now. He's just got it in me.

The camera focuses on me and I smile lightly.

"Well..." I chuckle. "I am new, obviously. My name is Jessica Shirley. You're going to love me so much. Can't wait to see and hear your reactions after the movie." I giggle nervously.

"She's going to surprise you all." Jace interrupts, squeezing my arm lightly.

I smile at him. "I'm still mad at you. Don't even try it."
