Fate's Masterpiece

Shooting Begins

"Cut Cut Cut!"

"What is it now, Jonny?"

"Everything's wrong! Master, you should feel more natural. You're acting like a robot. To think you're the one who wrote this."

"I can only write, not act."

"No excuses. From the top!"

We began the shooting two days after Eve and I went out. When we are alone, I can feel relaxed, but whenever the three stooges are around, I get jumpy and tense around Eve.

"It's okay Kyle. Don't be too nervous. It's just me," said Eve, as she tried to comfort me with her smile. Little did she know, she's the reason why I'm nervous.

"Okay! Scene three, take five. Action!" Jonny shouted again.

Not everything was smooth sailing when we were shooting. Jonny was mostly shouting. He was so into it that I almost forgot his bad side. Almost. I never thought he could do a good job. but he did. He actually exceedeed my expectations, not that my expectations were that high anyway.

"Alright, let's wrap it up for today. Good job everyone! Master, you have to level up your acting," shouted Jonny.

"Yeah, yeah," I replied.

Though Jonny complained a lot about my acting, we actually shot a lot of scenes during the first day. I'd say it was about 5% of the whole film. We only stopped shooting whenever the camera runs out of power. And at exactly 5pm, Jonny took all of us to the nearest skytrain station so we could go home.

San and Hina' house are actually near each other so they always get off at the same station. About ten stations away from the station Eve and I are supposed to get off at. Actually, eleven stations away from mine, but I wanted to make sure Eve got home safely.

"You don't need to take me home Kyle," said Eve.

"Nah, it's alright. It's still early, and besides I'm going to ride the bus from there."

"Well, it's more fun when walking with a friend. Haha."

I'd definitely get stuck in traffic if I take the bus from her house. But, it's worth it.

"Yeah. Haha. Today was tiring huh?" I changed the topic.

"Yeah, but it was fun. I mean, I get to be an actress. Haha," she replied.

"Well, you are extremely good at it."

"Haha. Thanks. Many people told me the same thing before, too. I mean, when I was younger."

"Then I guess, you've always had that talent in you, huh?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's a result of what I went through when I was a kid."

"What do you mean? What happened?"

"Hmm. That's a secret for now."

"Haha. Don't tell me you went to an acting school when you were a kid."

"You know what? I actually did do that. Haha. But it's not that."

"Oh. Wow. Really?"

"Yup, it's true."

"But that's not the thing you're talking about?"

"Nope. Something else. Haha."

I guess there really a lot of things I still don't know about her.

Eve and I got off the train and started walking. It was around 6pm when we arrived. The station was connected to a mall. So, a smart idea popped inside my head.

"Hey Eve, you hungry?"

"Haha. I wasn't, but I am now."

"Great timing then. Come on. Let's go inside the mall."

"Alright. What restaurant are we going to?"

"Who said anything about a restaurant? Haha."

"So we're going to the food court?"

"Nope. You'll see."

I took Eve to the ground floor, and when we reached there, she just went crazy.

"Kyle! Look! Everywhere is cheap food! It's like a mini festival inside the mall! There's even a mini garden. Look Kyle! A mini stage for performing bands!"

"Woah. Chill dude. Haha."

"I can't! Haha. This is the first time I've seen something like this!"

"Don't you have these kinds of things in America?"

"Well, I'm not entirely sure, cause I don't go out that much. Haha."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Well, then. Since this is your first time. Let's enjoy ourselves!"

"Yessss!"

We just stayed there and enjoyed the food and performances for the next couple of hours. Eve was even thinking of spending a longer time there, but she got dizzy all of a sudden. Well, with all the excitement she had during the day, I'm sure it's just natural that she'd get tired.

"You alright?" I asked her.

"Yeah, sorry. Just got a little lightheaded."

"Alright, let's sit down for a bit and I'll take you home later."

"Sorry Kyle."

"What? Haha. You don't have to be sorry for anything."

"No it's just that you were having fun, and now we're forced to stop."

"Dude. Even resting is fun when I'm with you." Shoot, I let that slip out of my mouth.

"Haha. That's. . . good. I guess."

"Well, it is true. Besides, I really wouldn't have had this much fun if I were alone. Haha." Wew. It's good that she didn't think much of it.

"You probably wouldn't even go to this place if you were alone."

"Haha. That's true, too."

"So, I guess, what I should really say is thank you then. I mean, for keeping me company."

"Well, it's my pleasure Ms. Future World Class Actress."

"Hahaha."

After she rested for a bit longer, we went out. I took her home and I also went home. She was feeling better when I left her, she even texted me to say thank you again. I could say, the night ended pretty well for us.

------------------------------------------------

The next day.

"Kyle!" shouted Eve before we started shooting.

"Yeah!" I shouted in reply.

"I've been thinking since last night."

"About what?"

"About last night."

"And?"

"Let's go out more."

"What do you mean by that?"

"What I just said. Let's go out more like last night.

My heart skipped a beat yet again. The 'cupid trio' stopped from what they were doing, and just stared at us; staring at me in particular, waiting for my reply. Well, there's only one thing to say.

"Alright, let's do it."

"Promise?"

"I promise."
