Chapter 2

First Day

Today is the day. My first day of shooting a feature film. After the announcement yesterday it took me some time to understand what was happening.
After my work , me and my bunch of friends went out for a party. Anna,Mill and Fatty are the people,I am with all the time. We all work together. While Anna works at the back-office. Mill assists me. Fatty is a costume designer.
It is really hard to find people who genuinely care for you. To have such people who won't judge you or expect anything from you is sheer luck. I am glad to have these crazy people around me all the time. So how could I not share this great joy with them?
I am a teetotaler so I don't have hangover issues. I woke up earlier than other days, shocking myself and Anna obviously.
I had my coffee,a bowl full of frosted flakes and milk. Showered nicely and got ready. I am not faishionable at all. Like At All. Comfort is my only priority because of the long working hours and tiring shoot schedules.
But since today is the beginning of something new for me I decided to go comfy yet presentable. I wore my denim shorts and a crisp white shirt. Combed my waist long chocolate brown hairs , applied a hint of lip gloss, eyeliner and I am ready. I don't believe in making efforts to look effortless. And thanks to Almighty I have a spotless skin. So no need of make-up.
I checked my phone to see Sam's message. He texted me the location and rough first hand script.
"Hey are you ready ?" Anna stood at the door frame, tying her short shoulder length hairs into a neat ponytail.
Yes I am ready !!
----
The drive to the location was short. Columbiana have their head office in LA but the other office is couple of miles away from our studio. Since we are starting with cover and outer profile shoots, we will go to studio and not site office today.
When I reached their, I had a rush of emotions.
Their studio was thrice the size of our office. A massive entrance with ceramic beams outstretched from the roof. I was so overwhelmed and drowned in my thoughts that I didn't realize when Anna left and Mill and Fatty walked towards me.
"Vani !!!!!" They snapped me out of my train of thoughts.
"You can't shoot here, we need to walk inside Miss" Mill chirped.
I quickly followed them inside.
A short and stout man whose name I read Parker led us to the site. "Everyone is getting ready, Fatima you can go there and check whether they are in the correct costume or not. Nirvana you can get your "things" ready. Sir will be here any minute." He left us in the room.
"Ok, who are we shooting today?" Mill asked."I don't know,it must be in the script" saying that I literally choked on my words. "Script....oh shit, the script Sam sent... I didn't read it . Fuck !! How could I be so irresponsible. It must be written there." I took out my phone and hurriedly scrolled for Sam's mail. I clicked for the attachment and waited for it to load on my screen. After a few seconds, the attachment loaded.

I scrolled for the next page to read the rough first hand script.
If I don't know the main story line, how will I be able to get the correct poster for it.
I read the entire plot as fast as possible. Not reading any line twice. I was finally done with the plot. I released my breath, which I didn't realize I was holding.
"So who is it?" Mill asked realizing that I have read the entire plot line. "I didn't see who it is starring, I only went with the story line." I said fixing the main camera. "But Mill you need to put the lights as far from the subject as possible because we need darkness surrounding him."
"Ok, I will do that" saying this Mill walked away.
I adjusted the rear camera, fixed the focal length, and asked the color coordinator for further reference. I was sitting on the camera trailer when I saw someone walking towards me.
He was in complete black outfit.
Black ripped jeans, black T-shirt with a black leather jacket. His hair perfectly gelled. His hands in his back pocket. He took long strides to cover the last distance in his black leather boots. Finally
when the lights hit his face, my heart skipped its beat.
He stood in front of me.
I stood there,my eyes fixed. I could feel my heart thumping so loud that I felt as if he could listen to it too. His eyes moved from the camera to light and then to me.
The boy I have dreamed literally every night and his picture is the wallpaper for my home screen on phone. Crush is an understatement. I am obsessed and in love with the man I am facing.

Hero.
