Chapter Two: Kol
"You don't have to be famous, you just have to make your mother and father proud." -Meryl Streep

"What's the schedule for today, Kelly?" I ask as she appears in my room. She slips into the closet and sets an outfit on the bed. I rub my damp hair a bit more with my towel and walks towards the outfit, she hums into her headset. I repeat my question for what I would be doing today. She glares at me slightly before speaking into her headset and ignoring me. I don't blame her, every monday she hands me a printed schedule for the week. Everyday I still ask about what I'll be doing. Mostly to annoy her.

"Breakfast with Cody at the cafe you like on third street. Then, an audition for Dracula. You'll get a lunch break and then you have an interview with a youtube star."

"Did you look into what I asked?"

"The mysterious Kaden? You know you could just call him, he did give you his number."

"What did you find out?" I snap. Impatience comes easily to me, it's probably due to being a spoiled diva from the get go..

"Kaden is 21." She points at my outfit. I start getting dressed as she talks. "He comes from old money, he has modeled a bit. His last name is Kingston. Kaden Kingston. He has two brothers and-"

"Brothers?" My tone shows surprise. "He seemed like an only child to me."

Kelly presses a button into the headset and starts a conversation as she leaves the room. I pull on the outfit quickly, pulling on the heels last. Kelly comes back in with a frown on her face.

"Looks like the Youtuber needs to move the interview up a bit in the day. You'll meet Cody after."

I nod but don't say a word. Kelly has a tendency to freak out if anyone messes with the schedule. I had found that out when I first hired her a year ago. Cody is my co star in Alpha Jax the movie, the trailer is scheduled to air after I move closer to my parents.

"You're ready?" She asks her eyes move over my body in a quick sweep. "You're hair isn't dry but I think that's all you have left. Makeup is done, clothes on..." She murmurs under her breath and moves around me to grab some perfume. I walk over to the mirror in my bathroom and brush my hair out, I blow dry and straighten quickly. Before I know it I'm at the Youtubers apartment.

"Hello I'm Emma Bild!" She has a short frame and pretty brown eyes. "It is SO nice to meet you!"

"I'm Jasmine-"

"Jasmine Ryder!" She squeals. I forgot how friendly and cheerful youtubers tended to be, also super busy. "So, let's get to it!"

"So if you get uncomfortable or want a scene reshot we will do it! I don't want you to be uncomfortable at all! So I already told your assistant what the questions are. Okay so you'll sit right here." Her voice is fast and her hand gestures nearly take my eye out but I get to my seat in one piece.

"Hey, guys it's Emma! Now if you haven't subscribed yet..."

She continues her intro as I smile and switch casually between watching her and the camera. She turns to me and introduces me with a slight squeal. I smile at the camera.

"So! I heard from a little birdie that you've got some new projects coming out!" She makes eye contact and it forces me out of my switch to camera then her routine. I think of what I'm allowed to say.

"I have an interview that I was just in that I'm super excited about! I just finished a project that was a little edgier, though I'm not allowed to divulge into it too much." My voice is a little lower and slower. A technique my former stylist told me about. "I'm moving to a small town in Virginia and the project I've been whispering about will finally see the light! I can't wait for my fans to finally see it."
