"CUT!"
"Great job everyone, and that's a wrap!"

X

I stare down at the dress I'm wearing. A lace maroon dress with intricate stitching hug my body tightly. The stylist put my hair in a series of twists around my head, little flowers sticking out from it. A small black clutch is in my right hand, and I've got to admit, I look amazing.

Dang it bitches I look spectacular.

Tonight is my new movie's premier. It's called Camera. Millions of people are looking forward to seeing it, and I am one of them. I play as myself - Serafina Hildebrand and the twins? Well, they play as themselves too.

With a last glance in the mirror, I get out of my house and thank the stylist for doing this for me. A car is waiting outside, ready to take me to the premier.

I tap the floor of the car furiously, anxious and excited. I ignore the butterflies that are spreading their wings wider and wider, trying not to vomit. On the way to the theater, I constantly swipe my phone screen and not actually opening anything, hoping that the twisting feeling in my stomach would go away.

There's a crowd in front of us and the driver tells me to get ready as we are near. So I do. I make last minute checks on my hair and brush off stray dirt on my dress as we roll up to the red carpet.

The driver gets out of his seat and goes over to my door to open it. With a sharp breath, I pull my leg out and step outside. Instantly, cameras begin to flash in my direction and I pull up a smile.

"Good luck, Miss Hildebrand," the driver tells me before closing the car door. I answer him with a thank you and walk forward.

I see familiar figures in the distance and my smile grows when I realise who they are.

"Marcus! Martinus!" I call, waving my arm in the air to catch their attention.

Oh bless them, they turn their heads at the same time. Grins at me at the same time and starts to walk towards me at the same time. How cute!

When they get closer, my heart starts to beat even faster than it already is - if that's even possible. Marcus gives me a hug, and I happily return it. When I look at Martinus, my heart thumps harder. Something inside me twists in confusion; aren't the feelings supposed to only stay on set and in the movie, nowhere else?

Martinus pulls me in a hug and my breath hitches on my throat. My face becomes flushed and I furiously try to get it back to its normal colour.

"How have you been?" he asks when we pull apart.

Oh I hope he doesn't notice my increasing pulse.

"I've been great!" I answer as smoothly as possible. "How have you-"

"Martinus!"

Our heads turn in the direction of the front steps. A girl climbs out of a sleek black Rolls-Royce. Who could that be...? She looks no where familiar, I've never met her before. She runs a little over to us, her smile a million dollars.

"Isla!" Martinus calls back and when she gets close, Martinus engulfs her in a hug. My stomach churns.

I have to look away when Martinus pecks her on the lips, minimalising my grimace as we are in public.

When I can look back, Martinus smiles. "Serafina, this is Isla, my girlfriend."

"Isla, this is Serafina, my friend."

Ouch.

I bite my botton lip and give Isla a small forced smile. She doesn't seem to notice it, so she smiles back at me genuinely. Isla lets her hand out in front of her.

"Nice to meet you, Serafina!" she says. I hesitantly put my arm out to shake her hand.

"Nice to meet you too," I choke out.

Isla gives me one last smile before walking ahead with Martinus and eventually disappearing inside the theater. A hand places itself on my shoulder and I look back. Marcus gives me an encouraging smile.

I throw him a confused look, "what?"

"I know you may like him in real life, Sera," he casually says before leading me inside the theater.

I bite my lip so hard I can taste a hint of salty blood. I look up to the sky just before walking into the building, searching for the brightest star that night. I wish everything that happened wasn't in a movie. I wish everything was real.

But that's rubbish talk. It's only for the camera.
