Perfectly British In An American Dream

Chapter 10

My alarm played my favourite song and I woke  up already humming along to the tune, I rolled over to turn it off. I sat up, wait, why do I have an alarm? I'm not at home, but... it's the first day of filming! I jumped out of bed and began to dress, I did my teeth and hair and I don't wear make up so I didn't spend ages doing that like they obviously expected because I was walking out the door in under twenty minutes and Thomas and Dylan were late so I made my way downstairs on my own.

I met yet another cast mate on the stairs heading to breakfast. "You're up early what's the special occasion?" He looked at me seriously. "I don't know what you're talking about?" "Well you're obviously on holiday and no girl gets up at five to relax by the pool?" "I didn't get up at five thank you very much and there is no special occasion I'm filming so I'm not spending a day at the pool." I start to walk faster day the stairs. "Hey wait," he chases after me. "I didn't realise you were filming, I am too." Great I get to spend my time with this moron. "Are you an extra?" I can't believe it, he doesn't think I am good enough to get a main part. "No I'm not, what part are you?" "I'm the main characters brother, I'm only really in it for a few scenes at a time and I'm just a support character, but it's quite a big role for me." "Oh, so I guess I have a bigger part than you then!" I said as I continued down the stairs. "What part do you play then, I thought there were only two female roles and I've met them?" "I'm Verity, Leo's sister." "Whoa, no way!" We finally make it to breakfast and I see Dylan already tucking in to a full English, seems like he couldn't wait either. "Glad to see you're enjoying that." I tap him on the shoulder before sitting next to him. Jack sits on the other side of me unfortunately and immediately starts asking questions. "Do you two know each other? How many films have you been in? Are you famous? Where are you from you're accent is funny?" "Alright one we don't know each other we met a few days ago." "And she puked on me when we first met." Dylan pipes in. "Yes, that did happen, two I've been in one film other than this one, three I don't think I am famous, four I'm from London, England, but I go to school in Cambridge so yes I have a funny voice." This seems to shut him up and then the waiter comes over, the same one as before. "Full English for you?" "Yes, that would be great." I reply. Jack whispers in my ear, "what's a full English?" I gasp and give him a hurt look. "You don't know! We'll have two." I turn to the waiter, "with extra sausages." Now it's Jacks turn to stare at me. "What?" I seriously don't know what I have done. "You eat sausages?" He questions. "What's so wrong with sausages, you're not vegetarian are you?" I panic and start to search for the waiter. "No, but almost every girl I know is a vegetarian or a vegan and order tiny salads which they barely eat anyway." "You said almost every girl I guess I just fall into the almost category." I turn and take a sip of my drink, "I said almost because I count you as someone I know now, so I change my statement to all the girls." I nearly spit my drink out in surprise. "Seriously we met five minutes ago and you're pretending that you know me and then you go on to talk about your friends, well if they don't eat very much then there won't be much left of them will there. So you can go and be friends with your stick girls and I'll be just fine with out you and with my full English." By this point most people are looking at me. I leave to go to the bathroom.

I shut the door and sat on the lid of the toilet. I felt the tears run down my cheeks and could taste the saltiness  in my mouth. I regretted saying such things to someone I barely knew. It was a horrible first day, but I couldn't stop the words coming out of my mouth. I sat there for a while before I heard banging on the door to the bathroom and a voice shouting my name. I slowly unlock my cubicle door and wipe away my tears, fix my hair in the mirror and walk out. I instantly feel arms wrap around me and I relax into them. "Hey what's the matter?" Dylan looks at me, worry covers his face. "I don't know why I said those things they were mean and hurtful and I am so so so sorry." "I thought it was brilliant, he was completely wrong about you and stereotyped you so much. You taught him a well needed lesson so don't feel bad, but if you want we can get breakfast in my room? I know we've already gotten up, but doesn't mean we can't do breakfast in bed." I hug him tighter before letting him lead me away from the breakfast room.

We saw Thomas on the way up and he joined us, so that's how I found myself having a full English with two of the best actors in Dylans hotel room at six o'clock in the morning.
