"What did I miss?"
"Nothing. Just Tom and I having a little disagreement, that's all." I smiled sadly as I walked over to her. "Y/N, I know you like him." She said softly. I stopped in my tracks, looking at her with shock. "What?" I whispered confusingly. "I know you like him." She repeated. I quickly walked past her and up the stairs. I heard her walk after me, trying to catch up. "Y/N, you can't hide it! We all see it, you can't deny it either. You guys have chemistry, we notice it. You guys were so cute all snuggled up in your bed." Emma wheezed out as she tried her hardest to keep up with my fast pace. "I have no clue what you're talking about. He has a girlfriend and he's happy." I choked out the last word. "But you're not! I know he's the reason you're like this, not Rowland." I stopped as she said his name. I turned around and glared at her.
"How dare you! How dare you speak his name in my home? You don't know anything Emma, he could be the reason to all of my mixed emotions." I snarled as I stormed to my room. Emma huffed as she once again tried to keep up. I opened my bedroom door and left it open for her. "Y/N, we both know you're over him. He cheated on you 4 times, for Christ's sake! I'm glad you finally realized that he was bad for you, but you need to realize now that you're in love with Tom!" She exclaimed as she put her hands on her hips and stood in my doorway. I just sat on my bed and stared at the floor. Emma sighed and threw her hands down to her sides limply. "He looks like he's in love with you too, Y/N." She said quietly. My head whipped around to look at her, tears brimming my eyes. "No Emma, he doesn't. He loves her like that, not me. I'm just his friend, HIS FRIEND!" I yelled as a few tears escaped my eyes. I cupped my hands around my face as I sobbed quietly, my body shaking in it's slumped form. I heard her walk over to me and wrap her arms around my frail body, comforting me. "Why does it hurt so much, Emma? Why does it hurt this much? I shouldn't love him this much, yet I do and it's ruining me." I cried out, muffled slightly by my hands. "Shh, shh.. I know sweetheart, I know. But you just have to come to terms with the facts. The fact is, you're in love.."

"Okay crew. Today, we're gonna' assign our roles for the movie." Greg said while clasping his hands together. We all nodded as we sat in a circle. Emma was to my left and Daniel was to my right while Tom and his girlfriend were on the opposite side of me, giving me a good view of them and their annoying relationship. Willow was constantly roaming her hands down Tom's chest and legs while kissing his lips and neck as she glared at me. I gave her no satisfaction from her torture, I just stared blankly at them or turned to talk with Emma or Daniel.
"Okay, so leading roles first. The leading roles are Cassidy Redwood and Noah Franklin. This movie is about their heart strung relationship and their battles throughout it. Ladies, anyone up for the leading role?" Greg looked around at the girls around me. Willow's hand shot up, along with Missy's. I felt Emma nudge my ribs slightly. She wanted me to get lead role, she thinks I'd be the best at it. I just shook my head at her and looked down at my shoes.
"Okay then. Willow, please read lines 1 and 2 from the beginning of the script." Greg asked as he sat down in a chair not to far away from me. Willow stood up, flipping her hair behind her shoulder.
"Hi, I'm Cassidy Redwood. I recently just got a job at a local pub. No, I'm not a stripper, even though I do think that'd pay better than being the bartender." Willow said almost perfectly. Everybody clapped besides for me as she sat down cockily. "Alrighty, and Missy?" Greg asked. Missy stood up and said the lines as well, only not with much fervor. She sounded quite dull to be honest. She sat down and people clapped respectively, but not as much as they did for Willow. "Okay then, I see our lead woman role will be--" "Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I think Y/N would be a better suit for this role. She's just too shy to admit it or try out for it." I hear Emma speak out. My eyes widened as I looked up at her in fear. She just glanced at me and smirked. "Well then, so be it. Y/N, I would also like for you to try out." Greg smiled. I gulped and stood up, flipping my pages to the front frantically. I coughed nervously, clearing my throat. "Take a deep breath." I heard Emma whisper behind me, and so I did. That breath really calmed my nerves.
"Hi, I'm Cassidy Redwood. I recently got a job at a local pub. No, I'm not a stripper, even though I do think that'd pay better than being the bartender." I giggled at the end, adding more emphasis to some key words and taking necessary pauses here and there. I looked up shyly to see everyone smiling brightly. Then, like thunder, the clapping started. It was like a live audience was right in front of me. "Well done, Y/N! I think we just found our Cassidy Redwood!" Greg cheered as I sat down shyly. Daniel patted me on the back and Emma hugged me from the side. All of a sudden, my courage sprung out of nowhere. I looked up at Willow who was staring at me with so much anger and hatred, I thought I'd die. Quickly, I made eye contact with her as I smirked and kissed my middle finger, blowing her a nice 'fuck you' kiss. She just scoffed and turned to talk with Tom. I smiled softly at myself as I looked down at the script that lay clutched in my sweaty palms.

I'm the new Cassidy Redwood..
