1 The Beginning

My name is Celine, I'm in 10th grade. My life isn't complicated but it also isn't simple. I don't think there is much to say about me. One thing I did a lot in my life was watching shows and movies.

"Celine, get down for breakfast right now!" my Aunt yelled.

I rushed down as quickly as possible and looked at Auntie. She was a beautiful lady in her late 30s. I don't think she's beautiful on the inside though.

"Sorry Auntie, I won't be late again" I mumbled.

"..."

She glared at me and said, "Be thankful that someone like you have a roof to live under."

I wasn't great in sports, academically I was average. The words 'someone like you' didn't really hurt me that much.

I quickly rushed to school on my bicycle and ran to my classroom. Luckily, there was still 2 minutes before class started. I sat down on my seat and waited for the teacher to start the class.

The lunch bell rang and the teacher dismissed the students from class.

I went to the cafeteria to buy a piece of bread for lunch.

"Here you go young lady, are you sure this is enough?" said the lady at the counter.

"Thank you madam, this is more than enough. I don't eat a lot." I responded smiling.

After I finished buying my food, I went to one of the seats in the cafeteria and sat down by myself.

Yes, I don't have friends to sit with.

I'm just not the type to go up to someone and talk with them and I don't think anyone in the school wants to be friends with me.

I was once accused of stealing someone's boyfriend, although I don't ever recall doing that. All the rumors about that stopped but still no one would talk with me or befriend me.

I was bullied by the girl who thought that I stole her boyfriend. She would spread fake rumors about me on the internet and hide my pencil case and textbooks.

It all stopped when one day after school, I walked up to the girl, glared at her and slapped her in the face. She eventually ended up crying and told the teacher. I got suspended for one day and my Aunt got really mad at me and didn't let me eat anything for the whole day.

The lunch bell rang and I went back to my classroom.

When school finished, I decided to take a stroll around the mall nearby. I needed a new screen protector for my phone and I had to promise Auntie that I would do all the chores for a week to get money for it.

I went inside a technology store and looked for a screen protector for my phone. Next to me there was a group of girls talking happily about something. I look over and saw a T.V. playing an ad. The ad was advertising a new shampoo. Oh? The guy looks familiar but I forgot his name...

I happened to hear what the girls next to me were saying.

"Look, look! It's Nathan, Nathan Miller! He's so handsome!"

"He'll definitely win the award for the best actor of the year!"

"Hey, did you hear about how he's going to be in a movie and there is going to be auditions for it?"

"You're funny, people like us won't ever make it in the audition!"

An audition eh? Whoever said the last line was right, someone like me wouldn't make it in either. If this was a story, I would be one of those side characters who are irrelevant.

"Hey Leah! I-I think I want to tryout for this audition!" A girl suddenly yelled.

I was surprised how someone actually wanted to do something like this. Acting is a very hard job, only suited for the talented ones.

"Hera, you can't talk loud, don't bother" The girl that may be 'Leah' said.

"I-I want to do it...B-but I'm too scared to go by myself..." Hera replied.

Then the girl named 'Leah' looked at her friends and they all shook their heads.

Suddenly I made eye contact with this Leah girl and she smiled.

I turned my head away as quickly as possible and walked to the cashier.

"Hey you! The cute one! You looked interested in our conversation, how about you go with Hera to the audition!" The Leah girl yelled.

I looked around in the shop only to find everyone looking at me...

"A-are you talking about m-me?" I stuttered.

"Yes you, since you eavesdropped on our conversation, make up for it by going to the audition!" Leah shouted.

E-eavesdropping?! Everyone in the shop heard everything you guys said!

I shook my head and said, "Sorry, I'm not suited for these kind of things."

Then I felt something grabbing my arm.

"P-please, I beg you...I-I'll pay for your screen protector..So please!" Hera cried.

I looked at her and tried to pull away, but she held me so tightly and I couldn't move. Just how strong is this girl?

But she said she would pay for my screen protector...I'm not a cheap person or anything but if someone offers this then...

"Fine. I won't pass the audition anyways. I'm just tagging along okay? Tagging along!" I replied.

"T-thank you! Thank you so much!!! By the way what's your name? My name is Hera, nice to meet you!"

"...Celine, that's my name. Nice to meet you too."

I think I just made the worst decision in my life.
