 Just as Sapphire was getting very impatient, the host named Angelo walked towards them with an excited smile glued on his face. He greeted every single person and everyone stood up and greeted him back. After the greetings the people sat down again while the host stood straight in front of everybody and talked in a booming voice.

"Good morning everyone! I'm happy to see that everyone is right on time." Sapphire along with other people were confused because one of the contestants Harry was not present, but instead a newly famous amateur actor was here. Sapphire held back himself from asking on that matter because everyone knows that he and Harry had a rather complicated relationship before. If he asks then some people will probably start rumors again, as if the current rumors aren't enough. Fortunately, his question was answered because Ash asked that same question and the host obviously answered.

"Well, a few hours ago Harry's manager sent an email message to us saying they're truly sorry but Harry can't come since they're having an important meeting right now. And they couldn't postpone it since it took them a while to finally have that meeting. And about Mia, she was the eleventh voted one so we just decided to have her come instead of Harry. We called her manager and she agreed even if it was very abrupt. So I thank Mia and her manager again for agreeing even though it was very sudden."

"Oh it's no problem sir Angelo. I should actually be the one thanking you. After all it's not everyday that you get to be on a show that's gonna be watched thousands of fans." Mia said sweetly while smiling a lot. Sapphire then secretly rolled his eyes and looked into his watch. The time was 7:51 AM. Seeing Sapphire looked into his watch Angelo then remembered the time too. He also looked into his watch and immediately said "Wow! It's 7:51 already! Time sure flies fast, huh. Well everyone please stand up and follow me into the place where we'll be filming at."

And with that everybody followed his instructions and went out of the store. The contestants that were women and their manager were first in line while the men and their manager were behind them. Sapphire was second from the last with Anthony behind him. Angelo led them into a huge department store with people already ready for their roles. The director, camera people, helpers, and sales lady were already on their place waiting for the show to start.

"What do you think the show is gonna be about? They aren't saying anything." Sapphire whispered to Raphael. "Maybe you guys have to role-play as bride and groom in their wedding? I don't know." Raphael whispered back. Hearing that idea Sapphire whispered "Blech. That's just no." "Well you've got no choice. You have to do what they say, okay? My mind's really tired from stress already." Raphael whispered back in an exaggerated tone.

"Finee, I'll try." Sapphire agreed. He knows that Raphael was just being dramatic but he also knows that he really is tired. He doesn't let Raphael know but he's really grateful to him for always staying by his side. While listening to what Angelo was saying he firmly decided on his mind that he'll try his best and behave on this show for Raphael and him self.

One minute before 8 AM.

"All right everybody let's go to our positions! Girls on the left of the camera by height while the boys on the right also by height. I'll be on the middle." Angelo eagerly said.

Rosa reluctantly stood on Angelo's right since it shows that she's shortest. The order was Rosa, Brielle, Mia, Roxy, Celeste.

While on the left of Angelo stood Ash. The order for them was Ash, Aiden, Hayden, Sapphire and Anthony. Hayden and Sapphire were actually the same height but the director decided to just have Hayden stand behind his twin since that would look better. It couldn't be Sapphire first then the twins because Aiden was an inch shorter than his twin and Sapphire.

Sapphire just said a plain hello with no emotions when he stood by Anthony's side. Anthony greeted back a simple hi but before he said that he let out a not-so-quiet sigh which made Sapphire want to go and kick him.

The managers stood beside the director and watched over their actors. The actors stood straight, chins up, put on a smiley face and faced the camera.

Then the director's rusty and focused voice came. "All right everybody! Let's get started! In three, two, one!"
