#4 - 80's

Oldies, 21 Jump Street cast (the 80's cast)

Wicked Day.

I was the daughter of one of the staffs. My father decided to bring me with him to his job to let me see what kind of work he do, and I just sat there and watch him do his tasks. During break time they saw me play the Rubik's Cube and staffs enjoyed it then after some time they made some bets in every time I finish one, it goes on for just 7 plays and on the last one I decided to hustle them 20 dollars each with a cloth covering my eyes. They now bet on how long, some said 8 or 9 but no one said any numbers lower than 7. I did let them see first that I can do it not lower than 7 seconds. I tell you, don't hustle a hustler. We began by covering my eyes but one staff doesn't like cheaters and he covered the cloth part to be fair and sure but before that they jumbled the cube and I said that I have to see it first before we start for just a good 'ol 5 seconds then started. BAAM. 5.38 seconds and I got 240 dollars just like that. They were shocked and said that I cheated but then I let them see that I can do it in one hand. I got 5.67 seconds, and they were just amazed dude. I told them that my fastest record was 4.63 seconds and I did it but only got 4.71 seconds and they believed me now. They gave me the money and my dad was laughing feeling contented on what I did.

Continuing on with the work, the next scene was that there was supposed to be a stunt woman but didn't get to be on site. It gave the staff more work and are calling who are available at the moment and it's quite hard to find a stunt woman with only minimum sources. It went on for almost an hour and they were behind schedule and gave them a hard time so I decided to step up and volunteered because I heard that it will just do some like ninja tricks or some tumbling actions. I went to my dad and talked to him about it and he asked if I was sure, and I said yes, I was sure. So my father spoke to the director and after contemplating he said yes because they need to follow on schedule and like to see what kind of hidden tricks I have more. Some staff help me to get ready for the scene but before that the director talked to me about how will it go on how will be doing but I suggested something or added and said that "We'll see." So we did the scene first and I did my thing with some jumping on the walls, climbing and it's really unique, new to the eyes of people. After that he accepted it and was exhilarated about my idea, some were at awe on what I've done because it was very, very fresh. Fresh like an orange. We did some takes, it took about two hours because there were many changes and I thought that some staffs are annoyed about the changes and felt sorry but they didn't, they were awestruck of my performance and get on with it. I was so happy that I could finally showcase my skills and my father went up to me and said, " I didn't know you could do that." Of course, I was a silent child and that he knows I could do some of those gymnastic thingies but not to that extent. Oh, I forgot, what I did was PARKOUR!

Now Peter DeLouise, Johnny Depp went up to me and said I was amazing and I thanked them all, asked about my name, age, everything. They were shocked that I was 20 years old. You could say that I'm not that beautiful and I'm the kind of person who doesn't care about my body that much and I dress comfortably.

That day was the wicked day of my life.
