My mother had bought a villa in another city. However, we weren't going to move so fast.  Because we hadn't even started packing. It was going to take us ages to leave the house, so we continued to live in the city of hell for another half a year. 

One lovely weekend, I got a phone call from my mum while she was at work. She had said that there was a movie project going on in my town, and she had signed me up for an audition. I was thrilled. Becoming an actress was my dream ever since I was little. And now, I finally had a chance to be in a movie!

The next day, I went to take the audition for the lead roll of the movie. I was so confident on myself. A week later I got a message from the studio saying that I had been accepted in the movie. But, as a background character. It felt so unfair, but I was still happy with the thought that I got in.

We were going to shoot the film in another city that wasn't so far away from my town by bus. When I arrived to the bus stop, I couldn't believe my eyes. Henry was there...

Henry, and other mean girls from my elementary school were there. I was shocked, but I pretended as if I didn't see them and went to sit in the bus with the other casts. When we arrived to the hotel after 2 hours long bus trip, we were divided into classes. The ones that had the big roles shared their rooms with each other. The ones who played the supportive roles  shared their rooms with each other. And the background people shared their rooms with each other. My heart broke after finding out where my past bullies were having their rooms at.  They got the amazing luxury room which meant that they had gotten the big roles. 

I went to the bathroom crying. Why did they get big roles and not me? They didn't deserve it! They didn't even have interest in acting! They just joined the movie for attention! But me? I had been watching movies my whole life and this was really something that I had dreamed of for years! Why did rubbish things always happen to me and great things happen to my bullies! Do you know how difficult it was for me to see my bullies in the luxurious lounge ? Do you know how difficult it was to see my bullies having fun on camera during shootings while being in the background?

And if that wasn't enough, I didn't get paid as promised! Meanwhile my bullies got paid lots and lots of money.
