Aren’t You Excited?

Auri Sat patiently in her chair as an elderly woman with blue hair caked her face with layers of makeup. She had a feeling she was going to have one hell of a day. She was not going to stir trouble… Not openly.

"Aren't you excited?" Sharon asked her.

She resisted making a face. She could see a camera circulating and she did not want anything she said or did to be taken out of context.

"I'm ecstatic," she said while trying to not move her facial muscles.

A makeup artist was working on her face. She sent an apologetic eye to the glaring woman who was running brushes over her face.

"I mean," Sharon's voice had enough excitement for the both of them, "You are not going to be doing a lot of these for a while and this is your first music video,"

Auri said nothing. She did not want the blue-haired woman to send her another wiltering glare. Her facial muscles did not do as much as twitch.
