Two weeks passed smoothly on my part. Stephen has become a more comfortable companion. He's doing everything for me even without my wits.
"So, guys," Paul started. "Here are the final casting for the film." And there he said the list of casts and their roles. "We have Chelsea as Rhodora, the generous friend of Marie, whose boyfriend is the leading man's ex." I was left dumbfounded.
What did I just heard?
"Paul." I called. He instead gave me an apologetic look.
Did I heard it right?! Is fate really playing around me?! And why Paul didn't inform me about this shitty plot?! This seems like a true-to-life story for crying out loud!!
What would Chelsea thinks if she learnt about me and Dave? What might she possibly think of me?! A good-for-nothing friend who lied about the relationship with her ex! My goodness! This isn't good. This is so becoming real.
"Stephen as Hans, the leading man and Athena as Marie, the leading lady." Paul continued. "So guys, here is the script. Goodluck and we'll start the shooting tomorrow. Godbless!" He dismissed. We were all scattered after that.
I look for Paul but he's nowhere to be found. My goodness! Why is he doing this to me?!
"Athena!" Chelsea calls.
"Hey." I said.
"Congratulations, you got the main role! I'm so happy for you. You deserve it!" she said cheerfully, as always.
"Thank you." I replied. "Congratulations to you, too."
"Yeah. I don't expect to be casted and gosh! I got the supporting role! Yaay!" She blurted out.
I am also happy for her. Though a part of me is anxious about it.
Athena, calm down. Everything's gonna be alright. I said to myself and sigh heavily.

I woke up lazily after hearing my alarm. I've had enough sleep, I guess.
Suddenly, my heart beats louder. I am nervous for no reason. Gracious! I mustn't worrying about anything, but hell! I can't stop myself from thinking about what will happen later. It's as if I will be persecuted and I have to hide and never show myself up. That's what I feel.
I headed on a studio for our last workhop before the shooting.
"Hey." I was surprise to see Stephen and others here already.
"Oh!" I uttered, when I realize I am the only one they're waiting for. "I'm sorry."
"Tss. It's alright." said Stephen as he places his hand on my shoulder.

Behind Her Tears
RomanceShe's a theatre actressㅡa brilliant actress. Everything she does on stage is just an act. However, behind her tears is something the script can't explain; something that even directors don't know.
