Chapter 7

"So ,pink or yellow?" I held the two nail polish colors up to the light so I could get a better look.

"Copeland how should I know? I'm not a chick." He kept his eyes glued to his stupid comic book.

"You're such a boy ,it disgusts me."

"I'm not a boy, I'm a man."

"You are not! You're still a child and you always will be."

"And you'll always be annoying."

"I am not annoying. You are."

I've found ourselves having a lot of these arguments lately. And I always win.

We finally stopped after minutes of bickering.

"So how's your movie going?" Since we met, it's been about 2 months or so and he hasn't really told me much about the movie.

"It's been really good. We've been working long hours but it's been fun."

"Must be nice." I admitted.

He paused.

"Well.. Would you wanna come with me on set one day? Just to see what it's all about?"

"Oh I'd love to! Are you sure it would be okay?" I was totally excited for this!

He nodded in approval.

Finally ,I could be somewhere where I've always wanted to!

-

There was a knock at the door. I jumped off the couch and ran over.

Corey was dressed like he usually was.

I gave him a smile as I yelled back to my mom, "I'll be back mom!"

We raced downstairs to the lobby, I was so anxious to be on a real movie set.

I said bye to Joyce as we practically broke through the main doors.

Corey's mom had been waiting right outside for us in her car. I hadn't met her yet ,which made me a bit nervous.

"Hey mom. This is Copeland. My friend."

I waved at her from the back seat.

"Oh! Hi sweetie! It's so nice to meet you. Corey has not shut up about you. He's always talking about how fun and cute you are and how-"

"Mom!" Corey shut her up.

"What? It's true." She starts the car and drives off.

"Copeland, you an actress yourself?"

"Yes, ma'am. I've been looking for work everywhere but, nothing seems to be happening." I still felt sad about the whole thing. I mean, if I couldn't get a job for acting, what was I good for?

"Alright kiddos, we're here. Have fun!"

We entered in through some gates. Corey's mom had to punch in a code to get in.

There were security guards and special monitors and stuff as well.

We got out of the car and I looked around ,in complete awe.

I couldn't believe where I was at.

We started to walk to where Corey had to shoot, which seemed like forever until we got there.
