Acting Class

These past few days, Nadine found Velina acting strange to her. She often stole glances and asked her silly questions. If her guess was right, not only Velina but also Jun and Jena.

She knew they were not too close, especially with Jun and Jena, who rarely met her, let alone interacted together. However, compared to a few days ago, now their attitudes were even stranger towards her for no reason.

She frowned while sipping her favorite Toraja coffee. "What's wrong?" She asked, frowning.

"Nana, do you really like Nutella that much, don't you?" Marino asked at the dining table, pointed out at the toast with his chin, which Velina had spread the Nutella on.

"Eh?" Velina stared at her bread with horror. Half a bottle of Nutella had now moved onto the bread.

"Oh? This is for Jun!" Without warning, Velina immediately put her bread on Jun's plate.

Jun, who was chewing his food, was surprised because he suddenly got a new menu on his plate.

He wanted to reject Velina with his eyes. However, Velina glared at him, forcing him to accept her 'gift'. Jun insisted, he frowned, opening his eyes wide open, a sign that he refused Velina's 'kindness'.

However, he did not reject it with action. He was afraid it would be rude to return the bread to Velina's plate.

Before long, it was not only their eyes that were fighting but also their lips as well. Velina pursed her lips, to which Jun replied. The two of them moved their lips but not a single word was spoken.

The battle of the eyes and lips that the two of them were doing made Jena shake her head. She felt grateful that she did not sit next to Velina. That girl always had brilliant ideas to make her and her brother as scapegoats.

Yeah... It was not that she was not willing... But…

"Tsk... Tsk... Tsk..." Nadine chuckled at their ridiculous behaviors. She then stood up after finishing her black coffee.

"Eeeh! Nadine! Where are you going?" Velina asked quickly, surprised to see Nadine stood up at that moment. She immediately forgot that she was 'fighting' Jun.

"To the office, of course!" She rolled her eyes.

It was obvious.

"Oh... Eh... Yeah you are right!" Velina smiled awkwardly as she scratched her head which was not itchy.

After seeing Nadine left the house and because she did not know what to do, Velina finally decided to go to the agency. She had to do something soon.

One year was a very short period, and now she doubted her ambitions.

Would she be able to get the award of the best newcomer actress in just one year?

An hour later, she arrived at the agency. The place turned out to be quite crowded, even though it was still early. She then looked at the class schedules available that day. Since she would debut soon, she did not have to follow the training routines like the other trainees.

Of course, this made many people wondered about Velina's true self. On average, a person would become a trainee for two or three years before they finally debut. Unless they were either extraordinarily talented or had a lot of money to buy a role. They believed, Velina must be the second type of person!.

However, saw how plainly and casually Velina dressed her self, they became hesitant again.

While the trainees were waiting inside the practice room, the steps of an elegant woman who wore a white shirt, a red pencil skirt, and a triangular scarf with colorful flowers that adorned part of her hair, made them all shocked with enthusiasm.

"Hello all!" She greeted, took off her sunglasses.

Everyone suddenly became boisterous seeing her very beautiful face while putting on a smile.

She was Mira Soraya, a top model who then became an actress who had won several prestigious awards.

"Ouch! What a beautiful body!" One exclaimed.

"Compared to her, my beauty is just breadcrumbs!" Someone whispered to a friend next to her. She looked at Mira Soraya with admiration.

Mira Soraya had a distinctive beauty from Southeast Asia. She had long black hair, round black eyes, a small nose, and sensual lips. She was only 167cm tall, made men who saw her wish that they could protect her.

Regardless of the people talking about her with awe, she started the subject of the day's study.

Confidently, Mira stood in the middle of the practice room, giving some acting directions.

Velina stared at her, her gaze looked a little complicated.

This woman before her still looked as beautiful as before, however, it seemed that something was missing. She did not know what it was, however, she decided not to think about it too much.

She focused on today's class. If she could prove herself to her grandfather, then she would be able to keep acting until she got bored of it.

Today's class was an acting exercise to play an emotional role. They were all asked to play the role of someone who was left behind by their beloved. Velina frowned, pursed her lips, thought deeply. She must act like someone sad because someone left her.

How could she act like that? She rarely cried in her life before.

Everyone who saw her whispered, they were talking about Velina who was looking confused.

"You see, it looks like she only has the look!" Someone smiled sarcastically.

"I think you are right. She looks really confused!" A girl next to him replied.

"What's her name? Nana? Nana who?" Another one replied.

Velina, the girl who was being talked about, did not even notice that she was being the center of attention in the class. Her mind was busy picking out the roles she would play later.

Suddenly, an image of someone appeared in her mind.
