A Broken Act

Act II

Again, this shit is unedited.

Proceed with caution. Enjoy.

*****

After giving us a brief description about what the movie is all about (which we already knew because who would fucking audition for a movie without knowing what it will be about?), they told us to introduce ourselves, considering that we were almost composed of new faces. I internally groaned when I heard that. What is this? First day of school?

The introductory part was mundane, people just telling their names and other shits that I didn't bother to remember. I mean, there's no fucking way that those random shits would help me in the future.

Sighing for the umpteenth time that hour, I was more than glad when only a few people has to speak, but unfortunately, I was one of them. I watched the others stood up and put on their big (but sometimes obviously fake) smiles, stating their names like what the others did before. It went on like that and finally, there are only three of us left before it ends.

A raven haired girl wearing a red scarf stood up, looking indifferent. She was wearing a stoic look, eyes hard and sharp. She didn't smile unlike the others and went on introducing herself.

"Mikasa Ackerman, 23. I've been acting since I was in high school. I'm looking forward to work with you." Her look and the tone of her voice stated otherwise.

When she sat down, a tall brunet stood up, wearing a small forced smile on his face. It does look fake and I didn't doubt that it was. He doesn't look genuinely happy to be here, looking bored and as if he will bolt out of the fucking room the moment he has the chance to. That didn't make the women in the room to whisper to one another though.

Looking around, he started talking. "I'm Eren Yeager, 23 years old. I was a part of the drama club and theatre since I was in middle-" he stopped talking when he saw me, eyes widening and mouth left open. The others got confused at the sudden action, looking around to know who he was looking at, making me look away quickly.

Getting over his shock, he cleared his throat, getting back to business. "I was a part of the drama club and theatre since I was in middle school. Let's do our best to make this film great."

He sat down after that, leaving me the only one to introduce myself. I stood up, making sure to keep my introduction short. "Levi Ackerman, 23."

Ignoring the expectant look the others gave me, I sat down. Are they expecting me to tell more? Well, they're mistaken.

Clearing his throat, Pixis caught our attention back to him. "I hope that that helped you know each other a little bit. Okay, now that we were through with that part, we will give you the script so you can start practicing it." From that they started calling out names then giving out the script. It didn't take long until we all have our copies. "The shoot will start next week on Monday, and Erwin will be there for sure. That's it for today."

After Pixis left, the others in the room started leaving too but not without bidding those they talked to goodbye. I only stood up when there were only few left and made my way out, not giving the others a glance. Hange was sitting on an array of seat a few feet away from the room, looking busy as they scrolled through their phone, eyes fixated on the screen.

After I traipsed my way to them, they didn't notice my presence even though I was standing next to them, too engaged at their phone. Sighing, I rolled up the script that I am holding and hit their head, finally catching their attention. Looking up with their right hand on their head, they grinned at me then stood up.

"How's it?"

"Boring. Let's just go home."

I started walking and Hange immediately followed, looking down at me with a curious look. "Boring? Why is that?"
