As we all watched the films we created that took forever by the way, we voted for the best film and guess who won?

Yeah, it's me.

Everyone loved my film. Admired my techniques, the script, the outfits which definitely let myself sigh in relief.

Suddenly, the bell rings, signing that it was time to go as I watch everyone immediately stand up from their seats, running outside and leaving as quick as possible before they have to stay back and clean the place.

As I place my bag on, ready to leave with the other students dying to leave, my drama teacher; Mrs Silvershoot called me.

"Natalie, come here"

the tone of her voice didn't sound as I would usually hear causing my heart to beat fast as I walk towards her.

"You have been outstanding. You know that already and so .. I feel like you deserve more than just claps from students and awards from teachers"

I widen my eyes, shocked that no negativity came out of her mouth.

''What I'm trying to say is, is that I know someone whose a director and she's been looking for someone to act in her show. She has popular actors and you tubers acting in them.''

This is my chance to be on TV and be well known for my talent.

''Mind if I ask who are these 'popular actors and you tubers?' that you just mentioned?" I ask, curious.

Teacher frowns, thinking. "Let's see, well... Liza Koshy"

"'Lele Pons, Ricky Dillon ... ''

It just keeps getting better and better. After other names mention she clears her throat.

''And finally, Kian Lawley and Jc Caylen''

Who? Um, I thought these actors and you tubers are ''Popular''.

How come I don't know them?? Well I don't really care, at least I know the rest.

''So, you're telling me, I get to work with them?''

She smiles and passes me a VIP laminated access card. ''You get to ACT with them''

I widen my eyes, holding in my squeal. "When do I get to act with them?''

She starts grabbing a bunch of papers as she starts to skim through them. ''By Wednesday morning. Basically in two days''

I widen my eyes. "What? In two days? Wait am I staying with them?''

She nods and smiles. ''And where is this place?'' I wonder.

''Los Angeles, California. I mean pretty obvious'' she says as she laughs.

''But were all the way in Indiana'' I say also wondering what I'm supposed to do.

''Oh right, I forgot to mention that sorry. You basically have to move there. You can do online schooling if you want, I can arrange that for you since what your doing at the moment is for this school and so basically pack your bags and stay there'' she says as she smiles and goes back to her computer.

does she not get it? If I leave, that means I leave my family, my friends. I thought about it and I just thought maybe I could miss the whole acting thing with those popular actors.

''Oh Mrs Silvershoot, come to think about it, I might have to miss this whole acting career thing'' I say hoping to not get her annoyed.

She stands up, frowning. ''Natalie, you have to do this, this is your chance''

''But what about my family? My friends?''

She lets out a deep sigh as she removes her glasses. ''Listen, I know you love them but I know you love to act and I want you to grab the opportunity while you got the chance. It's rare for a director to find someone out of their states. It's also rare to find someone special like you. This is your chance, this is your chance to be free, to be who you are.''

I start to think about it. I agree what she said but I can't let them go.

''Sorry Mrs Silvershoot but I can't. Their too special to be left behind. I'm sorry.''

She nods as I could tell she's disappointed.

I said goodbye and walked out, seeing my friends waiting for me and Grayson walking towards me, kissing me on the cheek.

''Hey Nat, did you have to stay in?'' Ethan asks me as I look back to Mrs Silvershoot who was packing her stuff.

''Yeah'' I say as we all start to walk, heading home.

''Why did you have to stay in?'' Grayson asks, as I wonder; if I should tell them about it or not.

Maybe I shouldn't mention it now. ''Just some speech about what such a good student I am'' I say causing them all to laugh.

As we were walking, I start to think twice about this whole acting career. I mean it is my chance to be famous, to be known, to be loved from the world.

''Natalie? Natalie?'' I realised I was in deep thought.

''Huh? Sorry. I was just thinking'' I say as I look down and continue to walk.

I look back at them to see them all confused.

''You alright?'' Brent asks as he touches me, causing Grayson to smack him on the hand.

I chuckle and well, I just don't know if I should mention this to them.
