Prejudice (h.s) [UNEDITED]

four : "just... not harry."

She got a call from her phone, the annoying sound of the ringing making her eyes open harshly. It was aggravating, having or expecting calls in the middle of the night is undeniably one of the worst things included in her job, but she had no choice but to suck it up.

She sees Smith's name on the screen, lazily sliding the green button to the right. "Hello?" She hears his usual chirpy tone that annoyed her to the bone, she was envious with how happy he sounded given that it was like 2 in the morning.

"We were able to get a conference with Timothee's team and Harry's too." He announces, her head nodding upon hearing them. "Sadly, Cole is out since his schedule's strict." She just lets out a silent chuckle, of course Cole wouldn't be able to play Noah. "So, Timothee and Harry?" She implies.

"Yes, we'll give you the results on how this goes by next week, for the mean time, try teasing a bit of your fans to get them talking." She rolls her eyes and quickly logs the call off. She has a team in charge for promos and teasers, but then again, it'll be better if she does it herself on her personal account.

Putting that aside, she really wanted Timothee to play Noah.

Just... not Harry.

She loathed the idea of having to work with someone like him. Why can't singers just stick to singing and let the actors do their jobs? She finds it ridiculous, is it because they're popular? They're famous, and fame automatically is equal to money.

The filmmakers are aware that casting such big names would rake in big zeroes, and it infuriated her. The industry is slowly losing its magic— the genuineness and sincerity, now, all that matters is money.

She had absolutely no idea why she had this prejudice against him, maybe it's because her journey to where she is now hasn't been easy. She had to juggle three side jobs along with her acting gigs just to make a living, she had to act for tons of movies before she got her big break. Hell, even Smith doubted her in the beginning! She had people constantly telling her she wouldn't make it, and she thought the same too.

And it angered her deeply to hear some people are just handed these big roles because they're popular rather than handing the role to those who actually deserve it.

She could only sigh, silently wishing to herself Harry doesn't get casted.
