"Cut. That's the best one." Andre walks over to look at the footage of his audition tape.

"Hmm I don't know if I like the lighting- "

"Please Dre, we've done 10 of these and they're literally all the same. This is the one we should submit. It'll be fine."

I walk over to the kitchen table and insert the SD card into the computer. Andre gets two bottles of water from the fridge and walks over to me.

"I just really don't want to mess up." He sighs.

"I know. But you will be fine. If it's meant for you, you will get this role. So do you wanna click the send button?" I turn the laptop towards him. I clap my hands excitedly while he presses send.

Wednesday

The next morning, I talk to Michelle on the phone while I get ready for the shoot. We all agreed to be there at 6am so that we could finish early. The video shoot must be finished by Monday morning, edited Tuesday, and published to the public Thursday. There is no time to waste and I'm already sweating.

"Ugh this is what I hate about L.A. this fucking heat!"

Michelle's laugh rings through the speakers, "Well if you get upset it makes it worse."

I quickly pull off the black shirt I was going to originally wear and go with a black halter crop top and quickly shimmy my ass into a cargo skirt. I slip on my Nike dunks and hold the phone out so Michelle can inspect my outfit.

"Okay, is this too much? For like work? I mean I don't care but still."

She squints her eyes at the phone screen. "Yeah, um either loose the crop top or loose the skirt. Both is doing too much. You're gonna be working not clubbing!"

I sigh loudly and change my shirt to a tank bodysuit with a high neck. Michelle nods in approval. I grab my glasses and tell Michelle I'll call her later to tell her how the shoot goes and run out the door. Andre is already waiting for me outside with some breakfast. I hop in the car and smile at the bagel in his hand.

"Omg! You do love me!" he laughs and hands me my bagel.

"Don't want you to be late on your first day." As I'm eating my food, he looks at me.

"Who are you trying to impress?"

I shrug my shoulders, "No one."

"Its Bad Bunny, isn't it?"

I nearly choke on the cream cheese. He pats my back and hands me the orange juice he had in the cup holder.

"I'm not! But I obviously wanna look nice so leave me alone." He chuckles and continues to drive without mentioning my wardrobe choices.

When I get on set the actors are already in hair and makeup and the camera crew is setting up the lighting. I find Miguel among the crowd, and he introduces me to who I'll be working with.

"This set is looking great so far." We decided to make our own set for each scene instead of renting out a space. It'll take a little more time, but the result will be worth it.

"I wanted to get your opinion on this angle for the girls shot." Mikey, the main camera guy asks me. We discuss where everything should be placed and once the actors are done getting ready, we start setting them up in their spots.

"5 minutes till shooting!" Miguel calls through a megaphone speaker.

I let my crew know I'm going to run to the bathroom before we begin.
