"Sophia, shhh, I'm trying to concentrate." I said as I held my eyeliner and slowly lowered it on my eye.

"Boo!" She yelled trying to make me mess up my eyeliner but the good thing is that I haven't applied it on yet.

"Sike!" I laughed at her failed attempt to mess up my eyeliner as I put down my eyeliner.

"Aw." She said as she sighed in disappointment.

I'm currently in my hotel room, preparing for the dinner party that is being held in a fancy restaurant. And I'm face timing Sophia right now which is actually a bad timing because she just keeps on trying to mess up my makeup, which by the way is not working.

I already bought a fancy rose gold dress before I left for Los Angeles because we have to be all formal. I'm also doing my makeup which is rare because I don't usually apply on makeup.

I'm going to meet cast members in the dinner party which is pretty exciting. I already know some of the cast members but I still don't know the person who's playing as my 'love interest' in the movie so this should be interesting.

I sighed and grabbed my eyeliner from the table and lowered it on my eye.

"Seriously, Sophia. You've got to stop trying to mess up my makeup." I said as I put on my eyeliner.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry." She laughed.

I apply on my liquid lipstick then I'm all done. After I finished doing my makeup, I put on my heels and grabbed my purse. I grabbed my phone and held it up to my face.

"You look really beautiful by the way." Sophia said and smiled at me widely.

"Aw, thank you, Sophia." I said and smiled at her. "Listen, I got to go. I'll talk to you later, okay? Say hi to the boys for me."

"Okay. Have fun." She said with a cheerful grin plastered on her face and waved good bye.

I waved good bye then I ended the call and walked outside of my hotel room. I walked down the hallway and into the elevator. I straightened out my dress, fixed my hair and tried to get comfortable with the heels. I don't usually wear heels because I hate wearing them. Yes, it makes me feel tall but it's also uncomfortable.

After a few seconds, the elevator door opened as I walked into the lobby and exited the hotel. I stepped into the uber and sat back, just wanting for this car ride to be over.

As soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I got out of the car and thanked the driver. I look up and admired the restaurant. It looks so fancy and formal. I walked into the entrance and walked to the front desk.

"Reservation for Sinclair." I said to the woman behind the front desk.

"Right this way please." She signaled me to follow her then lead me to the table.

I put on a cheerful smile on my face as I walked towards the table. The director walked towards me with a cheerful smile on his face and briefly hugged me.

"Holly! It's good to finally see you." James, the director, greeted.

"It's good to see you too! Thank you for having me!" I greeted back.

"Of course! You came all the way from Los Angeles, huh?" He asked.

"Yes I did." I nodded in response.

"That's great! You can sit wherever you like and introduce yourself to the other cast members."

I nod then I looked around and noticed a few familiar people including Elle Fanning who's playing as my best friend in the movie. I also recognized Cara Buono who's playing as my aunt in the movie and a few other familiar people.

I sat beside Elle who's signaling for me to sit beside her.

"Holly! It's good to see you again!" She greeted cheerfully.

"Elle! I missed you so much! It's good to see you again." I said as I hugged her tightly.

I've been friends with Elle for a long time. I met her at an award show in Los Angeles and since then, we became close friends. She's really nice to me and she helps me improve my acting skills.

I turned to my side and smiled to the boy beside me. The first thing I noticed about him is his eyes. He has green eyes and curly brown hair. I'm assuming that he would be playing as my 'love interest' in the movie since he's surely fit for the role of Alex.

"Hi, I'm Sebastian Campbell. It's nice to meet you." He said flashing me a charming smile and putting his hand out for me to shake. (a/n: just a little side note, Sebastian is a fictional character. You can imagine him as to whomever you like.)

"I'm Holly Sanders. It's nice to meet you too." I said then smiled back as I shook his hand.

"You know, I'm actually quite surprised because you look more beautiful in person." He said, faintly smirking.

My eyes slightly widened as my cheeks turned red. I can admit that I'm flattered but I'm pretty sure that he's just being nice and friendly. I mean, we just met after all and it's a must to befriend your co-stars.

"Thank you." I said, faintly smiling.

My head shot up as I hear James clicking the fork against the glassware. Shortly, he got our attention as the small talks slowly died down.

"Good evening everyone." He smiled. "I would like to make a toast to all as we're all gathered here today in this eventful evening. I would like to thank everyone for showing up tonight in celebration of our new film." He said as he raised his glass of champagne

"To us!" He said as we all raised our glasses.

"To us!" We responded and clinked our glasses of champagne or water against each others'.

Everyone cheered and proceeded to drink from their glass of champagne, for the older people and water for the younger ones.

My heart started beating faster as I felt someone's eyes on mine. I looked to my side and noticed Sebastian staring at me. He winked at me with a smirk plastered on his face then quickly faced forward and pretended like nothing happened.

I furrowed my eyebrows, clearly confused of what he's trying to do. But I brushed it all off and proceeded to drink my glass of water.
