It's a new day on set, and it's a beautiful feeling. I have finally achieved my dream.

Once at the studio, I immediately get changed into my outfit and head to set. As soon as I walk in, Mark and Allison are arguing.

"I'm not completely changing a scene!" Allison shouts.

"Why not?!" He shouts back.

"Because it'll set us back! They've already learned all of their lines, and it's one of the scenes we're shooting today!"

He mumbles something under his breath.

"What did you say?"

"I said you're a horrible director."

He walks offset and glares at me when he passes by.

"Well, we're off to a good day," I say

"Tell me about it" She slumps back in her chair and sighs.

"Why did you hire him in the first place?" I ask

"Because he was nice during our meeting, he even produced my favorite movie, but just because he produces good movies doesn't mean he's nice."

I read my scene to refresh my memory before filming, and I just realized how long this movie would end up being.

Each script page is usually a minute, and the script is 165 pages, and that's almost a three-hour movie.

"Alright, Noah, get ready to film," Allison says.

"Mark isn't here yet."

"I couldn't care less, and he hates this scene anyway."

"Why does he hate it?"

"He says it's weird."

This scene is weird because Clyde goes on a social media hunt to find Iris, but he doesn't even know her last name. It's creepy, but I can't argue with the director because this movie will open so many opportunities.

Luckily this is the only stalker-ish part of the entire book slash book. Honestly, who hunts the internet just to find somebody they like based on one brief interaction they had?

***

It's officially break time.

I go to the breakfast bar, which is in the communal building.

Danielle is already there making her plate.

I grab a plate, put a few things on there, and sit down with Danielle.

"Have you filmed yet?"

"Yeah, today is my day of scenes." Before taking a bite of food, she says, "I have like Seven scenes today. I had to get here at three because I had such a big scene to film at night time."

"Good luck. I think I only have four more scenes today." I take a bite of food.

"Thanks, hopefully, I won't die from exhaustion, but they have coffee, so I've had five cups. I don't know if it's helping."

"Five cups? I don't think that's good for you."

"Relax, it's those tiny foam cups," She says and takes a bite of her food. "I'm going to go get another cup of coffee."
