Hollywood U fanfic: Skylar's story

Skylar

'Skylar! We need a needle!'

I hand Pearl the needle on top of the desk I was sitting on. Pearl grabbed it and stitched up a red dress. I was observing how a movie works for backstage members. Pearl was pretty busy and Kaelin was shouting orders onstage, so I decided not to bother them. I swung my legs and jumped off the desk. I stretched, after the many minutes or boring, boring observing.

'Skylar? Help Luisa mend her ripped dress now! She's doing act 6 anytime.'

'Heard ya.' I grabbed the mending Kit and marched over to Luisa, the girl with fawn hair and piercing gray eyes. She settled her eyes on me and smiled.

'I got a rip here,' she gestured towards her arm. 'It's a small one, so it's easy.'

I gave her a curt nod and started sewing the broken parts.

'I s'pose you're a newbie?' She inquired while I grabbed an extra string of red. I nodded, engrossed in my work.

'That's pretty cool to be a newbie. You get to stick to the Leaders, and professors are nice.'

I merely smiled. She continued.

'After your first month, things won't be that easy. The leaders are busy, ya know. They actually have stuff to do. You need to train yourself to be independent.'

I inspected the mended part and stood back up. Grabbing my mending kit, I nodded and smiled.

'Thanks Luisa. I'll bear in mind.'

Then I walk back to the far corner and watched her sashay towards the camera's focus. I felt sastified. It felt warm and tingly. I help a star in a movie mend her dress! I smiled and stroked my tangled red hair. Some things never change.
