Y/N arrived home after an interview. She was nervous all day, but she managed to stay confident and polite the entire time. She had to address the usual questions that annoyed her though, like "How's your relationship with The Once-ler going?", "I heard that you are going to be in ___ film, is this true?" and her personal favorite (not really), "What happened between you and The Once-ler that created this burden between you two?". Every questions she was asked, it was pretty much just about Once-ler. Y/N hated it. The few questions that wasn't about him made her remember that she wasn't just the girl known for having a bad relation with Once-ler.

She put her trench coat on the rack next to the door before removing her boots and heading to the bathroom to take a warm and deserved shower. Y/N night wasn't all that interesting, as she would have to go to bed early to make sure she was energized on the first day of the new movie she'd be in. The actress put on her pjs, went to eat dinner, brushed her teeth and went to sleep.

Next morning:

Y/N woke up pretty early. She checked the clock which indicated it was 7:00am. The actress got out of bed and did her usual routine before getting into her car and arriving to the set of the movie. She hadn't met the actors or anyone who worked on the movie, so she was pretty nervous. But the director, Charles, was very nice from her past experiences, so she didn't worry one bit about him since they were pretty good friends who talked occasionally.

She get out her car and was immediatly greeted with Charles giving her a firm welcome hug as she entered the set, and Y/N hugged back. "Y/NNN!! it's so nice to see you again! I hope you don't mind the mess around the set, it's not exactly ready yet.." He said rubbing his head nervously as he let go of her. "Don't worry, it's fine. I'm so excited to work on this movie! When I saw you were looking for auditions, I knew I had to apply." She smiled as they walked around set while Charles was showing her the makeup trailer, the places were the scenes would be shot and a few of the actors.

"Uhm.. yeah! but uhh.. you might hate me for who I casted as your love intrest.." He stopped in his track, not wanting to look at her as he fidgeted with his fingers. "C'mon, it can't be that ba-" Y/N cut herself off as she noticed the name on one of the trailers, it said: "Rented for: Once-ler." She looked up at the nervous director who knew he maybe should've cast someone else.. but he couldn't resist. "I-I'm sorry! It's just you both were perfect for the role! I couldn't let the opportunity pass.." He looked and followed her as she had to walk to try and not be as frustrated. "Whatever... thank god i'm getting paid for this or else I would've ripped my hair out.." Charles let out a sigh of relief, but he knew that it might be a bit more difficult to work with them. He knew it was worth it though, two of the most talented actors together for one movie would be worth every sacrifice.

After a few minutes of the crew preparing Y/N and making sure she knew her lines, the infamous Onceler arrived on set. Despite his hatefulness towards Y/N, he was kind and respectful to anyone else. She watched him as he greeted Charles and other members of the crew. She just rolled her eyes and thought to herself  "it's for the money, Y/N." He felt the same way too, not wanting to look at her but knowing he was going to get payed a lot more than anyone else would pay him.

Everything was now ready to film. The set looked awsome and every background actors were in place. (Btw yes this is a highschool romance booooo yeah cliche idc) Y/N never worked with Onceler before, so she didn't know what to expect from the guy who was always an ass to her. She made sure her outfit, hair and makeup looked neat as Onceler did the same thing. She put on her fake persona and Onceler looked at her while waiting for his cue to hop in the scene. "andddd... Action!" Charles exclaimed, leaning over his chair to make sure they didn't mess up their part..

A few hours later, they finished their first scene. It was surprisingly easy even with the few moments were they argued, messed with eachother and mocked eachother. The cast and crew took a lunch break, all heading to the large table that was placed in the "school". Y/N sat down with her food next to Charles as Onceler arrived shortly after. "Soooo, what did you guys think?" Charles started to try and cut the uncomfortable and awkward silent. "It was fun, even with her.." Onceler  smiled at Charles, he sounded almost sarcastic but also genuine... man, that guy is fucking hard to understand. "Same here, only if this dickface wasn't all up in my face all the time." She fired back. Onceler clenched his fork and took a deep breath before returning to his food. The director just looked at them both kind of awkwardly and confused "That's... good, I guess?"

After an entire day of filming, they managed to do a few minutes from the film. It wasn't easy and their arguments just got worst and worst with the time passed. She shoved him a few times, he screamed at her a few times, but they quickly stopped each time Charles reminded them they were on set and that they didn't have all day. He was extremely polite and sweet, but he wouldn't hesitate to scream at someone if they just keep making something difficult for everyone. Y/N took her things, said goodbye to everyone.. except Onceler ,which he didn't appreciate very much. "No goodbyes for me, huh?" He smirked and crossed his arms as he watched her leave. "I thought you hated those." She smirked back, sarcastically. He knew what she was referring to and he quickly stopped talking and walked away...
