Ancient History/Future Hearts

Ancient History

"Okay ladies and gentlemen" Mr. Janson, our director, cleared his throat. "let's start from the beginning! actually no" he sounded more confused than i was. great. "i want to start with the band playing the song. all the extras need to be on set. and our lady" he was looking at me now, "needs to be there as well. Carson's gonna sing in front of her for a couple of shots. You guys ready? Porter where are my glasses?"

and so it began. i didn't really need to do anything in that scene. i just enjoyed the band pretending to play. it was cool. i stood there and looked at Cody in the eyes. that's right i did that. i almost felt joy at that point, as if all the anxiety i had had was vanished. i felt part of the group. it was cool. my heart sank a bit when Cody did the little heart breaking thing with his hands. i don't know why but i found it super cute.

we repeated the whole song a couple of times before Jansen was satisfied.

"aaaand that's good. nice job guys. let's get our stars in the living room for the first actual scene"

i was asked to get changed and i did. my hair was now up in a pony tail. shorts, white tee. i liked the way i was dressed.

we got ready to shoot the scene. i needed to act as annoyed as possible at Cody and basically pretend to be all pissed with him for not taking me out. i might have just let out a giggle at the first try. maybe. ok i did.

"hey, lady. you get focused, we have no time to waste here!" Janson told me off.

"dude, chill alright? she's not even an actress. she's doing us a huge favor and she's the reason why you are working right now. so mind your words" Cody said. he sounded really pissed. i just wanted to go to him and hug him but there was no time. Janson, his face all red, called out "let's try this again. action!"

it took 7/8 tries to finally get the right one. the scene ended with Cody slamming the door behind his back. "and stop! alright this one's good. pretty much. let's go on we have no time"

i felt someone grabbing me from behind. it was Maxx. duh, predictable. "Good job there missy" he whispered. i felt a sense of happiness invading me. i loved it when i could make him happy. his smiles meant the world to me.

second scene. party. Cody had to grab me and take me outside. i whispered in his ear, he took me to a quiet place and was about to kiss me. Jansen stopped the scene. "right here we will insert the band playing clip and blah blah" i felt almost disappointed. i was enjoying it after all. i got used to the idea i had to kiss Cody and it didn't bother me that much any more. where was my kiss then?

"but!" Jansen seemed to have read my mind. "we do need a kiss. then Carson you'll pull out and get out your phone and go away. got it?" i felt butterflies in my stomach. but that was okay. one kiss remember?

Cody smiled. "you ready missy?"

i think i blushed but i managed to smile back. "God that's going to be weird"

"it's just acting" he shrugged and i knew he was right.

Jansen started the scene and we kissed. it was a quick kiss and nothing too big. he gently touched my lips with his and pulled away almost imediately. cool. we did it. Jansen seemed to be pleased with it and suggested we had a break. i smiled at Cody and Maxx and Dan joined us. "nothing too dramatic i would say" Cody suggested.

"yeah! it was cool. nothing to worry about". i felt good. happy even.

"well" he seemed uneasy now. "we better get ready for the next scene"
