Sunshine, Starlight | Aryan Simhadri

Part 20

The premier

I felt my heart racing just looking out of the Car and I regretted not asking Walker if we could share one car because how was I going to do this myself

My eyes searched for a known person among the photographers and paparazzi and then the driver opened the door

I didn't get up immediately breathing in one last time before taking the hand he offered me and stepping out of the car with a smile on my face. Immediately Cameras started surrounding me taking pictures left and right

I walked up the red carped for a bit still trying to find anyone of the cast, I guess they were right that night at the hotel, this is so much different than being at walkers premiers and so much more terrifying 

Everyone was calling my name, everyone knew my name. I looked around at the people one of them catching my eye, she was holding a microphone and waving for me. I walked up to her with the smile still brightly on my face

"Hello Claribel, you look absolutely beautiful today"

"Thank you"

"So this is your first premier right ? How are you feeling about all this"

"Uh well, I think it definitely takes time to get used to with so many cameras but I think it's amazing to see how many people care about this show and showed up for it"

"Yeah quite a lot of cameras here, so who are you most excited to see today ?"

"I'm excited for everyone really, but I would actually say Aryan for this one because we've met up with the others a few times but he couldn't make it unfortunately so I haven't seen him in a bit" I spoke truthfully, I missed him

"Aryan and you were really close on set right ?"

"Yes Aryan and I did grow quite close during filming but when time doesn't fit it doesn't fit you know ? But like I said I'm really excited to see all of them again" I turned around as I heard someone saying something to me to see it's the man who was there for my security tonight, bodyguard if you will "Oh it looks like I have to go you have a lovely evening though ma'm"

"You too Claribel I hope you enjoy it"

I walked up to my security and he told me that I was next for the pictures, that made me really more nervous because these pictures will be on the internet forever, but no pressure though

I walked up onto the carpet when it was my turn and took a second to see through the flash lights until I started posing. I looked from camera to camera, holding poses that I went through with Dior and Leena

Standing there it all felt so amazing like, people were actually there to see me. But it also felt as overwhelming as nothing had before

Luckily my time was up before I had to chance to start panicking so much and I walked along

My eyes finally caught someone known, I walked up to her with a bright smile, her eyes lit up when she saw me and she walked my way too opening her arms for a hug

"You look gorgeous Belle" Dior whispered in my ear still holding me in the hug

"Look at you Dior, you look so beautiful"

"Oh stop, so how overwhelming is it on a scale from 1-10"

"It's a good 6,5 right now, I didn't have the time to panic yet I think that still awaits me" I laugh nervously

"Well you're doing great so far"

I walk up to another interviewer afterwards

"Hello, how are you today Claribel ?"

"Uhm I'm feeling really good what about you?"

"Oh I'm amazing especially now that I had the chance to talk to you. So Claribel how do you feel about the show ?"

"Oh I really enjoyed filming it because I myself have been a fan of Percy Jackson since 3rd grade so if all just felt unbelievable to me and I mean I haven't seen any of it on screen yet but from what I've seen on set I think this show is amazing"

"This is your first acting experience right ? How does all that feel"

"Yes it is and I can't even really describe how it feels there are just so many emotions like the pride and joy I feel about all of it but also it's really nerve wrecking"

"What would you say was the best part of filming, just one thing?"

"I would say the people I've met and the friends I've made on and off set that would probably be the one thing I'm most grateful about and I have to say that was the best part bit of course everything was really great-" I get cut off when I feel someone's hand rest on my waist, I look at the hand and then up to the person to see Aryan standing beside me with this wide smile

"Sorry am I interrupting ?" He asks looking at the interviewer who just smiles

"No not at all" she says kindly while I just take in what I see, I mean Aryan has always been really handsome no denying in that but somehow over the past few months we haven't seen each other he changed so much

I wrapped my arms around him, him doing the same and we just stayed in that hug for a bit, his curls had gotten a lot more definition making them really stand out and just in general he looked really good in a suit, and in green and I couldn't help but to wonder what Jason would've said to these thoughts

"You look gorgeous Belle" he whispers in my ear, getting me out of my thoughts

"You look quite handsome yourself Aryan" I whisper back as we let go. I turn back to the interviewer to not get caught staring at the boy next to me

"So Aryan how are you feeling today and about all of this"

"Oh I'm great thank you uhm I feel so much joy being here and knowing that you all get to see what we have been working on for so long now"

"I'm really excited for it thank you, both of you"

Authors note:
I was so excited for this part and just the premier in general

Once again I have no actual clue how acting or premiers work so please bare with me

Also this is the dress I pictured for Belle even if I haven't talked about the dress all that much, you can obviously imagine whatever you want for her I just like the idea of her matching Walker with the blue

Also there's gonna be more parts for the premier because this one would've been too long if I tried to fit everything in
