Idiot Big Brother || The story of being Tom Holland's little sister

The new character, Ryder Smithstone

          I woke up the next morning, rolling over to see it was 4:46. I groaned and got out of bed. I wasn't planning on going back to bed, so I went to take a shower. My mind wandered like it had the night before. I still need to text Alayna and most likely check up on the others at home. The water was nice and cool on my back, I didn't want to get out but my stomach was growling. I dried myself off and pulled on my clothes. I chose a black just above the knee skirt and a white shirt and black thigh-high socks with three white rings at the top. I pulled on my vans and left Tom asleep in the room to go get breakfast. I sat down to eat and picked at my food, I had realized just how nervous I was for my first day on set until now. It would be okay though, I told myself, Tom would be there too and the guys I met seemed very nice. I didn't realize that Tom had come down too until he sat across from me. 

"Hey," I said looking up from my plate. "how did you sleep?" 

"Fine." He said, shrugging. He slid back in his chair and started eating. 

"Ready for your first day?" He asked. I wanted to be but my fears were starting to get the best of me. 

"Kinda, just a bit of nerve, that's all." I sighed. He nodded and we ate in silence the rest of breakfast. 

...

A black car came to pick us up and we were off to the set. Tom was on his phone texting with someone. In turn, I grabbed mine out of my pocket to check for any texts of my own. I had one from Alayna, a few from mum and dad, and one from Aiden. I paused with my finger hovering over Aidens, I wasn't sure still about what to do. I felt like it had been forever since we had talked and missed him. That would be too soon, right? I deleted the text without reading it and opened Alayna's,

How'd it go????

School is the dumbest without you! <3

I smiled, texting right back,

I got the part! School has always been like that thou haha, love ya ;)

I closed the app and turned off my phone to stare out the window. The city's here were pretty but nothing like London. Thinking about it, I had never really been away from London, it was a whole new experience and culture here. Soon a wall came up on my side of the highway and i could see the city's lights no longer. 

I sighed and couldn't help but think about Aidens text again. Had it been an apology? Even if it was I didn't want to hear it, I had made a choice to come here to America. Whether it was to act or run away from him I was unsure. I glanced over to Tom to see him still scrolling away on his phone, a hard to read expression on his face. Why was he with Zenna that night, how had I not noticed that he was gone. It was stupid of me to expect every thing to change just because of some boy. He clearly knew what he wanted if he let her take the picture of them together. I just wish I could figure out what I wanted, my heart was all in puzzle pieces that did not click together. 

I was still struggling with talking with Tom, I felt like siblings shouldn't be this awkward towards each other. He was just so much more then me, was famous and a great student. i didn't really know how to make small talk and he was not giving it any effort either. It could just be me, maybe he was and it was just my teenage angst not letting me see the truth. My emotions would have to stay out of this job though. I did not want to mess it up or break down in front of grown men who I didn't even know. We suddenly turned onto a new road, then again till we stopped on a corner. The car slowed to a stop in front of a tall, box like building. 

"Thank you." I said as I shut the car door, climbing out. I walked over to the doors and stopped before grabbing the handle, I turned and saw Tom jogging to catch up. 

"Why are you so fast?" He asked jokingly. I felt the corners of my mouth pull up, but no quite into a smile. I opened the door and walked in. The first little area on the left was a conference room, on the right it was a office. Tom grabbed my shoulders and turned me towards the conference room. I looked up his face and rolled my eyes.

"I can guide myself you know." I mumbled. 

"Well we would have gone the wrong way." He mumbled right back. I sighed lightly and shook my head. There were four people in the room, three from yesterday. One was a new face however and I shot him a small smile.

"Welcome! Have a seat." Robert waved toward the other side of the rectangular table. I sat down in one of the empty chairs, it was between Misha and the new face. 

"Hello, I'm Astrid nice to meet you." I held out my hand towards him and he grabbed it. 

"Hi, I'm Alex, its great to meet you." He smiled brightly, I couldn't help but smile in return. 

"Okay so," Robert started to talk to me, "This is the script for the next two episodes, that is all we have you character signed up for right now. It really depends for how the fans react to your character, who we decided to name Ryder. The show has quite the reputation to killing people off in the show after a short time so if she isn't too big of a hit, that can be a easy option to end Ryder's character." I nodded, I didn't know there was potential for me to be here longer than a week or two. I would have to let the school know to get my classes online if that was the case. 

He handed me the script; which I would have thought it was a math workbook if I didn't know better. I started to question if I was going to be able to do this. Tom had been doing it for years so he could memorize scripts in a instant, I was a slow memorizer. 

"It seems intimidating, doesn't it?" Misha asked with a tilted smile. 

"Kind of, I'll just have to work hard to get it all down." I admitted with a tight mouth.

"If it makes you feel any better you have more lines then most of us, so this is a lot more script then you will usually receive." Misha shrugged in response to my tight body language. 

I turned my head to the script and Ryder's over all description:
