17 year old Hadlee Bennett gets a role in Marvel. It has always been her dream but, it is also her escape. Being in the foster system is not great. She has lost all hopes of ever getting adopted. needless to say her "home" life is not the best.
Her...
I am so excited but, also really nervous. Today is my first day of work. I actually got the role for the Avengers. I am going to be playing Bella, a young girl who gets rescued by the avengers from a Hydra base. (I know ironic, I get rescued again..) I was actually really nervous about getting that role because it's probably going to be hard mentally but, I talked to the directors about it before I got accepted and they said that "it would help me understand my character better." Which I guess makes sense but I'm still nervous. My biggest fear is my scars. Having them tends to bring questions. Yeah so, with all that said, today is the first day.
I woke up to my alarm at 3:30. I have to be on set at 5:30. Plus I have to walk. Which is fine because that is way better than riding in a car with my foster "parents". Anyways I get out of bed, grab my clothes to take a shower. When I'm in the bathroom about to get into the shower, I don't even look in the mirror. I don't want to bring my mood down by looking at my body (mainly my scars). After my shower, I get dressed and brush my hair. I don't worry about doing my makeup because I will most likely get it done there if we film today. The only thing I don't like about not doing my makeup is the scar by my eye brow. But I guess I can get to "understand my character better".

*The outfit*
After I was done getting ready, I walked down stairs. My foster "parents" Frank and Lynda are still asleep so, I grab my bag, put my shoes on and started walking to set. It was about a hour walk to set so thats what I did.
-time skip-
When I arrived on set one of the directors Joe Russo was there to greet me. I am trying to act professional but my anxiety is through the roof. "Hello, you must be Hadlee!" "Hi, um.. yes I'm Hadlee." I said is a nervous tone God I should really either calm down or stop talking. I thought to my self "Great follow me, we are doing a table read first thing." Mr Russo said. I nodded and followed him into one of the many buildings. When we walked in he led me to a large room with a round table. There were already other cast members here. There were Chris Evans, Robert Downer jr , Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen Sebastian Stan and Scarlett Johnson. OMG I was standing in the same room with ALL of my idols. The feeling of excitement quickly disappeared when I realized that all the eyes were on me. I was anxious again. Great, now that I'm anxious I am definitely not talking. The last thing I want to do is make a fool out of myself in front of everyone. I thought to myself. I was snapped out of my anxious daze by Mr. Russo talking to me "Here is your seat." He pointed to a chair in-between Scarlett Johanson and Elizabeth Olsen. I cautiously sat down not wanting all the attention anymore. I just sat there staring at the sheet of paper on the table, I didn't even hear Ms. Johanson speaking to me. "Hi, I'm Scarlett. You must be Hadlee." I didn't hear her so I didn't reply. Lizzie looks at Scarlett with a confused look. Scarlett just gave her a concerned look and shrugged her shoulders.
Both of the Russo brothers stood up and started talking "Welcome back! Here are your scripts and I want to introduce you to our new cast member Hadlee Bennett." Joe said "She will my playing Bella. The avengers will rescue her from hydra on a mission." Anthony said
I was still sitting there staring ahead of me and overthinking everything that could happen. When I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I flinched and my breathing got heavier. I looked up to see no other then THE Scarlett Johanson looking at me with a concerned look. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to say that it's great to have you here. The Russo brothers just introduced you. Are you okay?" I didn't talk I just gave a small smile and nodded my head. She smiled back but didn't push.
When we were done we were either able to go to our trailers or stay around and talk. I decided to go to my trailer and start reading my script. But I wasn't that lucky. As I was about to walk out, I was stoped by Ms. Johanson. "Hey, we are all going to hang out in the lounge. Would you like to come with us?" She asked I was never aloud to say no to adults so I just nodded my head. "Great, come on. I'll show you the way."
-AN- I know this is a little shorter but this is a to be continued chapter. There is going to be a lot of drama in the next chapter. I hope it was a good one. I love you all ❤️
