[010]

Your class held a film for some sort of contest, you didn't know much as you weren't paying much attention but because of your acting experience, Nino considered having you the main lead. But after many "no's" he left you alone. Instead, Myléne took the role and played alongside Adrien.

"Agent Smith, it's too dangerous! We must evacuate."

"You're suggesting we run, Officer Jones?" Myléne eyed the camera as she spoke, "After it devoured my family, my friends, even my beloved dog, Sniffles? Never. I won't run! I no longer fear it, I'm going to face it, then I'll—"

She let out a loud scream when Ivan, who wore the monster mask, appeared and scared her. She hid behind the desk, hugging herself for comfort.

"Cut!" Nino shouted, eyeing you over his shoulder for a moment.

You just sat on your desk, shrugging, as you avoided his gaze. "Myléne! This is like, the tenth take, and we're only on the first scene!" Shouting, he rubbed his temples in annoyance.

You felt bad. You knew how hard it felt to get criticized by directors and it always ruined your confidence, also mainly the reason you didn't want to play the role to begin with—especially with Nino's competitiveness.

"Fourteenth actually! But who's counting?" Alix corrected.

You saw Myléne perk her eyes over the desk and observed the class in guilt, "I'm sorry. I'm going to do better on the next take, I promise."

"You're playing a hero from the special forces. You're not supposed to get freaked out!" Nino retorted.

"I know, but that monster mask he's wearing is so...realistic and scary." She reasoned, a frown forming on her lips.

Ivan smiled reassuringly, "It's just big ol' me, Myléne." He poked the monster mask's eye holes with his fingers to emphasize his point, "Nothing to be scared of!"

"You ask me, he doesn't even need a mask!" Chloe said, laughing along with Sabrina.

You saw Myléne sing to herself quietly as she closed her eyes, eventually knocking into Adrien and letting out another scream.

Sighing to yourself, you knew that you could have been the main role. But you just couldn't do it. Though you did felt bad for Myléne, especially since you could relate to her situation, you remembered saving her from your first day of your "heroine duty". If she easily overcame that, what makes her believe she can't deal this?
