In The Arms Of An Angel

University

Addisons pov

Yesterday my teacher told my class that scarlett johansson was coming in to teach us.. I forgot what but well soon find out as I'm actually on my way to school right now. My dream is to become an actress, but I don't think I have the balls for that so I guess being behind the camera will do.

I get into my uni class no one talks to me, no one looks at me, there's no point of being here cause not even the teachers acknowledge me.
"Hello everyone! I'm Scarlett Johansson I'm here to help you boost confidence so you're ready to be on stage, in front of cameras or whatever your dream is!" She walks in with the brightest smile ever known.

"So I'll start with everyone's name please. Starting with you!" She says happily bolting towards the back of the room.
"I-I'm James Kalloway."  The boy starts everyone staring at him.

"Next!" Scarlett shouts which startles me.
A few more people said there names and it was me after 2 more people. I was at the very back in the corner nearest the door so if i ever got a bit overwhelmed I just left. No one noticed whenever I did. So I took this opportunity to quickly sneak out as her loud shouting got me overwhelmed especially with other people shouting back at her and everyone murmuring it there friends while this was happening it just got a bit to much.

I noticed this girl leave my class. Am I really that boring! I thought to myself. Anyway I just skipped over her seat and I got everyone engaged in a group chat so I took this opportunity to check if she's still outside.

"Hey." I see her small frame hiding behind her knees her back against the wall. Her head leant back.

She cleared her throat and stood up. "O-oh I'm sorry hello miss" I hid my smile that was trying to slip out knowing she's blushing.

"Why did you leave?" I asked noticing her hands were fidgeting with the pockets of her joggers. She looked down

"Sorry. My ears just you know um" she tried to get her words out but she just settled with wafting her hands near her ears signaling that it got to loud.

"Ohh I'm sorry. I know I can go a bit over the top with my volume, I'll try my best not to speak too loudly."I reassured her but her eyes were focused at something behind me. When I followed her gaze there was nothing there. Maybe no eye contact, right got it.

"So are you coming back in?" I asked softly.

"Um, I will soon." I looked at her sadly not knowing why she won't "I promise" she must of read my mind I smiled softly and just walked back in noticing the room was way to loud even for me.

"okay class!" I shouted and everyone quieted.
"Now we're gonna do some small group work, where I will give you a choice of 5 stimulus, make a group desicion and improvise a story. You have half an hour. Choose groups of at least 2 but no more than 5! And keep the volume down please!" I put different pictures on the board. Like one was a bunch of dogs, another was a bunch of kids fairytales. I was about to go check up on um oh my god I didn't even get her name! Anyways she walked in before I could go check on her. She just sat in her chair and put her head in her arms on the desk.

I walked over to her. "Um hi again." I start not knowing her name. "I'm Sorry I never got your name love" she sat up and looked at me in the eye for a second before looking away uncomfortably.

"Addison" I replied stirmly still not looking in her eyes.

"I love that name." She replies kneeling down to my height as I'm still sat. "Do you have any one to work with?" She asks me. I tense up and look infront of me staring at my hands.

"You can be my partner that's okay" she tried to comfort me by touching my arm. I pulled my arm away from her as I don't like touch. "I'm sorry addy" addy? I think, I look at her confused looking at her nose so I'm not looking at her eyes.

"Addy.. it's my new nickname. Now I think we should get started as we only have" she looks at her watch. "25 minutes left."

"So which stimulus do you want to do?" She asked me after explaining what we're doing.

"Um maybe the pills?" I hesitantly say thinking about all the different options

"Ooo that's a good one" she replies with a massive smile on her face making me smile a little.

Time skip like 30 mins when everyone is performing their scenes

Scarlett and I are up next to perform so we set the stage with a chair and a table. I sit down looking at my hands on the table. Freezing my position scarlett enters looking at me.

"Ladies and gentlemen we invite you to witness a glimpse into the life of a troubled teen and the pivotal moment that awaits them. Behold, the Pills of Reflection" she starts looking at the audience which is just my class.

"I don't know if I can do this. I can't handle the pressure anymore." I say my line anxiously like my character should be.

"She's been struggling, feeling lost and burdened by the weight of the world. These pills have the power to show her the paths she's taken and the choices she's made" scarlett directs to the audience then facing me.

"Trust in the process. Take one pill and let the journey begin." She puts a bottle of "pills" in front of me. (They're tictacs)

"Where am I?" I acted as the "pill" i took magically took me to a blank space. Scarlett quickly taking the table and chair off stage then returning infront of me.

"You are now within your own memories, the moments that shaped you." Scarlett says taking my hand "pulling" me into a new space. We recorded a few little scenes before we came on stage. They're of me in the past. My choices I made. Aka stuff we made up for this.

——————————
Time skip to the end of the performance cause idk what to put for the rest.

"And so, dear audience, we conclude this glimpse into the transformative power of self-reflection. May we all learn from our past, embrace our strength, and face the future with newfound determination. Remember, every choice shapes our journey. Thank you for being part of this enlightening experience" Scarlett finishes the scene. Everyone breaking out into applause.

Scarlett and I look at eachother with massive smiles. As everyone goes to sit back down as we were the last performance.

The bell rings and scarlett finishes the lesson
"Thank you All so much! I hope you all enjoyed this experience and if you want your filmed piece your teacher will have them and I'm sure she will send them to you! Thank you again" she sobs with a few tears forming in her eyes. Dismissing the class everyone thanking her on the way out

I was last out as I wanted to say something to scarlett. "Um-" I go to say when a kid comes back in and starts talking to scarlett.
She looks at me "did you want to say something?" She asks.
"Um y-no it's alright" I reply kicking myself in my head for not talking to her.
"Okay I'll see you around maybe?" She replies smirking as she goes to talk to the boy who came in.

"Okay" I quietly say walking out the class in disappointment in myself.
