Makeup troubles

I woke up late this morning, forgetting I had bruises to hide. So I got ready in a rush, pulling on some long shorts, and a loose fitting shirt, with a hoodie and some air forces. I brush my teeth and finger comb my hair while walking downstairs. My parents are in bed until around 10 so I don't have to worry about them in the morning. I make sure I have my work stuff in my bag as I won't be home to pick it up. I leave a note on the door saying I'll be home late. Knowing they won't be understanding and I'm just going to have to deal with it later.

I arrive at school a few minutes after the bells ring and I walk into my first lesson, English. I apologise to my teacher and feel my classmates stares on me as I take my seat. The teacher, Mrs Colby takes the roll call and I rest my head against the desk until she gets to my name.

"Y/l/n?" She asks
"Here Miss" I answer "and why were you late?" I could sense everyone staring now. "I uh" I begin.

"Do you see that mark on her neck?" I heard some girls whisper.

"She's such a freak" I hear Lucas say. You see, Lucas is your typical American high school boy. Plays sports, really popular, and bullies kids, like me, who cant stick up for themselves. "I uh- my bus ran late Miss" I say hoping she believes me. She sits and nods, continuing on in the attendance.

Not long after she's handing us a comprehension
work sheet to do, I thank her and take my pens out. I start reading what to do, but quickly come to a stop after stumbling on the first couple words. I take out my overlay and break down the words in my head. I get to around 3/4 of the completing the sheet before deciding enough is enough and laying back down on my desk. There was only 10 minutes or so left anyway. "Remember class, this is your exit ticket!" Mrs Colby announces. I hear a few kids groan in annoyance, but I just stay as I am. My teachers know about my dyslexia and I'm given extra time in things like these, so I'm hoping she just lets me go.

The bell rings and she starts collecting the students papers, dismissing them one by one. I'm fast asleep on the desk when she gets to me. "Y/n?" She knocks on my desk. She taps me on my shoulder and I instantly wake up. Flinching from her touch. "Oh sorry y/n I diddnt mean to scare you!" I look around confused, being the only one there. I flush pink and gather my stuff in my bag. "Sorry Miss" I say embarrassed. She looks at me unsure. "Didn't get enough sleep last night?" She questions. "Yeah" I say wanting to leave as soon as possible. She takes my sheet from under me and leaves my desk, motioning me to leave. I thank her and speed walk out to the cafeteria.

"Where were youuu?" Faye asks, grinning when she sees me. "Fell asleep in class" I say nonchalantly. She hums in response and sits opposite me.we fall into a comfortable silence before Faye breaks it. "Want some?" She asks while taking a forkful of her fruit salad. I decline and sink into my chair, still exhausted from last night. I usually get around 5-6 hours max but today I was running on 3. I hear the bell ring, yet again. So reluctantly I grab my bag and trail off to my next lesson.

Time skip to the end of the day

I saw Liam and parted ways with Faye. He greeted me with a warm smile and opened the door for me. We talked about school for a little while before I realised I'd never asked him about his life. "So Liam" I started. "Have you got any children?" I asked politely . "No, I don't." He said. I couldn't help but feel like I overstepped, I know he didn't mean to say it in a bad way, but nether the less I shrunk back into the chair.

Liams pov

I noticed y/n's sudden change in body language, and I realised that I may of came accross a little rude. I tried to settle the tension by asking her a question. "So y/n what are your folks like?"

Y/ns pov

I shuffled uncomfortably. "They uh- there great" I lied. "Just busy." I said hoping he'd belive me.

About 20 minutes later we arrived at set.
I bided Liam goodbye, and made my way to the main hall. I opened the hall doors and found everyone already dispersing out. Was I late? I looked at the clock in the corner and saw that it was only 3:15 so if anything I was early (A/N your school finished at 2:30 toady.) I saw Scarlett and Paul talking in the corner making their way out so I made my way over to them. Scarlett saw me first and she greeted me with a hug, and told me we were filming the first scene today. I nodded and thanked her and we all made our way to our trailers. Scarlett's was in the opposite direction to mine a Paul's, so she said she'll see me in hair and makeup in 10 minutes. We started walking, and I all of a sudden felt nervous. I diddnt like being alone with men. We had never interacted before so I could tell he wasn't comfortable either. He started small talk about school and I gave him quick answers. We got to my trailer first. Not wanting to be rude I waved him goodbye and gave him a smile. He waved back and continued on walking.
I set all my stuff out on my bed and began walking to the mini fridge to get an apple juice.

I was sat at the small desk lost in my thoughts, when a small knock on the door interrupted them. I opened it to see Florence stood there. "I'm about to head down to hair and makeup, if you wanted to come with?" She spoke with a heavy British accent. "Oh um- yeah sure." We started the the walk down to a big tent labeled HAIR AND MAKEUP we walked in, to see that pretty much everyone was already there. A lady who was about 5,6 brown hair, and a friendly smile came up to me, introducing herself as Tori, my stylist for this movie. I shook her hand, out of respect, and made my way to a chair near the end of the room.

22 minutes later

We were done with my hair, and she said it was time for makeup.My heart skipped a beat. I didn't really give it much thought as I already had some on and I figured she would just leave me as I was. But she told me for the first scene I would be on the streets so I needed to look pale and hurt. So she began wiping my face with a wipe. Me, Chris H, Robert and Lizzie were the last ones in there and I was sat pretty far from them so I just hoped no one would notice my bruises. I could feel Tori's eyes on my check as she took in my appearance. She was about to say something, but I beat her to it. "I bruise easily" I say promptly. Not to raise her suspicions further. She simply nodded and got to work.

We fall into a  comfortable conversation, and I learn that she had two kids and a husband. I found myself talking with her about school, and my friend Faye. I guess she was just really easy to talk to. She also said that given my bruises, she would just me trying to give me a pale look. I understood and hoped she wouldn't ask any further questions about it. By now another 17 minutes had past and it was only me and Chris H left . I thanked Tori and made my way to a place called "set room 6" to start my first scene.

Chris's pov

Me and y/n were sat in hair and makeup quietly talking to our stylists. I saw y/n stand up, thank Tori and leave looking where to go on her map. I noticed some prosthetic bruises on her cheek and eye that looked really real. I looked over to Tori who was gathering up her things. "How did you put on her makeup so fast?" I asked, knowing that bruises and marks usually take around 30 minutes. She bit the inside of her check before answering. "They were natural, she said she bruises easily and so I thought I'd just leave her as she was." Tori responds. I was a little taken aback by this, as they looked quite fresh. But I dismissed it and focused on my stylist who was now perfecting my hair.
