Me and My Dragon

II. Lucky or not?

Whaaaaaaaaa!

I scream to myself as embarrassment knocked me on my face. What's this? What should I do? Where will I go? Why is it like this? I really don't know what to do. I decided to turn around, go back to the other side of the alley where I came from and look for a different way to the main street. Confused what to do, I step back only to trip and fell on the ground.

"Ouchie! I am sooo lucky today! Thank you!" I said as I'm about to cry in pain while rubbing my butt.

All the people in area look towards my direction. Even the 5 guys who were doing something in front of the camera laid their eyes on me. Good thing that I choose to wear jeans, shirt and chucks for my leisure walk. I don't look awkward on the floor.

I saw one of the guys came running towards me.

Uh oh. I'm in trouble. I'm sure my uncle will freak out if he knows I got into trouble. I really should have listen to him. I was in the edge of crying thinking how my uncle would react.

I choose to put my head down and wait for the guy to approach me. He was standing in front of me and offered his hand to help me stand.

I just pinned my eyes in his hand, thinking to grab it or not. I chose to take his hand after a while. I don't want to embarrass the guy who is good enough to help.

Slowly, I stretch my shaky arm and reach for his hand. When my hand reach his, I suddenly felt something. It felt so warm even though his wearing a black leather gloves. I don't know how to describe the feeling that I'm feeling right now but I feel relieved. I feel fine. Heat came rushing to may face making me blush.

"Thank you!" as I finally stood in front of him without looking his face because of embarrassment and slowly take off my headphones.

He nodded and giggled as he helped me grab my bag on the floor.

I startled when I heard him giggled which give me the urge to lift my head and looked on his face. My mouth hanged open as soon I saw his face.

Oh man this guy in front of me is really charming. He is soooo damn cute. He's wearing a black boots, black pants; edge tucked on his boots, black leather gloves, white shirt and a black coat. He looks good on that outfit. Unique piercing on his ears. I looked in his eyes and saw a playful, naughty nice and charming personality.

He's smiling genuinely as he hand me my bag. He then guided me towards the direction on some people and ask them to give me a bottled water.

"Thanks again." I utter as i smiled shyly.

A girl hand me a bottled water as he return in front of the camera together with the four boys and some of their staff. They were standing in the center and a man was instructing them what to do. Maybe his the boss.

After drinking water and gathered myself back to reality I noticed that I just bumped in the middle of a shooting. I think their making a music video because I heard a song consistently playing again and again in the speakers. It's a Korean song. The sounds and melody is playing so nice in my ears. Even if I don't understand the lyrics I'm sure that it is a beautiful love song.

I stayed and watch for a while but suddenly I heard my stomach. I waited for a while to approach something to say thanks but they were all busy discussing something. I get a pen on my bag and write Thank You on the bottle and place it on top of one of the speakers.

I was about to leave when I heard the man holding the big camera says "I think she's perfect." He was looking directly at me.

"I think she's perfect." the guy I thought was the director said as he looks and point directly towards me.

I looked left and right hoping that he was referring for someone but I found nobody on my back. My eyes widened as I point my forefinger on my chest.

"Me?"

He nodded and smiled at me. Then a girl came rushing towards me making me realized what was that all about and ask for my name. The director wants me to be in the music video. He thinks I fit the role perfectly. She guided me to a small tent near the area, instructed the makeup artist and walk back to the director again.

OMG! As in OH MY GOD! What the heck? I'm going to be in music video without knowing who sang the song and on top it all I don't even know what the song really means.

I grabbed my bag and walk towards outside the tent when the girl who drag me inside returned. She's holding some clothes on her hands. I heard her snap her fingers in front of my face to get may attention.

She then explain to me everything again. I pause and think for a while if I'll accept the offer. After all, I used to be in the drama club when I was in grade school. I called my uncle to inform that I'll be late for some reasons, blah blah blah.

I sigh and took a deep breath.

"Okay."

I asked for the english lyrics so I know how to react on the song. I read the lyrics and I feel the sadness of the song. The message of the song is clear in every word the writers used. Awful.

I closed my eyes to let the message of the song sink in to me. I open my eyes and stared directly on my reflection in the mirror. I smile as I see the expression showing in my eyes. I can do this after all it's not gonna be shown in the Philippines. And they don't even know me.

I glanced in the mirror again to check myself. I already wearing the clothes provided for me by the staff and the makeup artist did a great job not applying too much makeup on my face coz it itches me and I hate it. I'm ready.

Confidently I walk outside the tent.
