Chereads / Super actor reborn / Chapter 11 - Jessie

Chapter 11 - Jessie

I laid down on bed, trying to sleep, but my thoughts are racing in my head, every second feels like hours within my mind.

Many ifs are going through my mind, I knew thinking about wouldn't change the past, but anxiety isn't something I can control.

At some point in the night, I couldn't bear the silence, my thoughts were driving me crazy.

I got my headphones and turned the volume to the maximum. I choose a metal song, from fighting the fur. I hate the concept of listen to sad songs when you're sad, it only worsens my mood.

I kept listening some music and reading novels, and then my mom got in my room.

— Son, it's time to wake up — she said with her usual irritating happiness.

Why I'm thinking something like this about my mom? It's Saturday, I should do something fun. I got my phone and clicked at Twitter app, I was scrolling down the trends, then I saw something interesting.

{High school students with shocking acting!!}

I'm rather curious about how is the level of people of my age, when they're acting, so I clicked in the video. It was dark, and the voices were far away, so it was hard to understand, but then it got closer.

— What the heck?! Why am I on Twitter? — I couldn't believe, so I shouted out of shock.

It was the scene where Zeus and Hera argued, and where Jessie cried. How did they record this? Oh, so that's what that guy was doing. I remembered the little guy with a camera pointed at us yesterday.

— Lemme check the commentaries. — I said, scrolling down to commentary section.

My_Lie_Best_Ost: Dude, it's fucking breathtaking, It is like a Hollywood thing.

Naruto_Worse_Mc: That girl is really crying, man, are they really high schoolers?

Monogatari_series_is_confusing_as_hell: Bro, she's awesome, but look at the boy, his voice is full of rage and pain, it's hard to believe they are on high school.

Im_Short_So_What?: What a huge name, huh, Guy from above, but you're right, the boy is as incredible as her.

I chuckled when I read the last comment, but I'm really satisfied people are liking my acting, I believe it's the first time someone praises my acting skills, I hate saying this, but it's thanks to the System. Right now, I'm totally focused on acting, I'll let girls and love aside for a while.

I once again, read my script, but in the middle of it I got a call.

[Unknown number]

— Huh, Hello? — I said, worried it could be the telephony company calling me again.

— Hello, is it Lee? — A woman voice said, she looked in a hurry.

— Yes, who is it? — I said, uncertain of who could be, I don't know someone with a voice like this.

— It's Jessie, could we meet at school in an hour? — She said, her voice trembling, but sounded like she was excited for some reason.

Why is this girl calling me right now? I don't want to go, I just want to keep reading the script, I'm feeling I'm almost going through a barrier, like if my understanding of Zeus is growing up close to the perfection.

— Yeah, see you there. — I said, but I honestly didn't want to go.

The only reason why I said yes is that I feel it can be related to the play, actually, it can't be anything else. I didn't even speak with her out of the training. I hang up the call.

— How did she get my number? — I mumbled, thinking about it, but I couldn't find an answer.

I hurried to change from my usual Den 10 Pajama. I put on a black shirt, a cross pendant, a cross earring, a jeans pants, and a white sneaker. I looked in a mirror and I whistled. Why am I dressing up like this if I didn't want to go?

I'm an actor, so anything could happen on the street, I need to be ready. What if a fan of mine wanted an autograph, or a group of girls wanted a picture with me?

— It's almost a crime being as handsome as me, I can get caught by police if I walk on the streets like that, but what can I do? That's the burden of beauty. — I said, a tear dropping from my eyes.

[Acting level up]

[It's a shame that your acting is leveling up because of your narcissism.]

I'm really stunned, how my acting leveled up? I wasn't even acting, tehehe. I still don't know, but I need to hurry up, or I'll be late.

When I got there I looked around, I saw her sitting at a coffee shop. Jessie is a beauty with her blue jewel eyes, her body is similar to a dancer, her hair is like a flowing gold river.

Looking into her eyes could hypnotize anyone, but not me. I'm not in the mood to appreciate beauties right now.

I sat down, and after we chit-chatted about some random things, I said:

— So, why did you call me here?

— Could you help me? — She said, honestly, she looked like a golden retriever when said it.

— Sigh, What kind of help? —I said, her eyes are really hard to ignore, but I'll only help if I'm capable.

— Nothing much, I wanted to add a scene in the play, I said it to Brian, and he agreed, but you need to agree with it too. — She said, her voice was full of enthusiasm.

— It's just this? What kind of scene do you want? Also, Why are you asking me? — I looked at her, something about it sounded suspicious.

— So, I wanted a kissing scene between Hera and Zeus. — She said, like if it was nothing much to her.

— Did I misunderstood? What scene do you want? — I said, I don't believe she said it like if it was no big deal.

[Sigh, that's why you are such a terrible actor, host, kissing scenes are things that you need to get used to.]

Why a text box is sighing? And who's the terrible actor?

— A kissing scene, look at this. — She said, and got a script out of her backpack, I didn't see her backpack before, probably because she put it at her foot side, under the table.

She got the script and read it.

— Zeus, don't you dare die right now, not before me. — She said with a desperate voice.

— We should die together, you promised me. — Tears already falling in her eyes

I'm really impressed with her, she did such an act without previous preparation, she's a genius, much better than I ever was.

She took a breath in and got out of Hera personality.

— See? After this, Zeus raise his hand with effort, trying to reach Hera, but he was at his last breath. In the script version, Hera just see him dying, feeling useless, but I fell a kiss would fit better in this scenario.

— Indeed, it would give to the scene a gray tone of melancholy. — I said, what she said is really true, but I don't want to kiss her.

Actually, I'm overthinking about this scene, yesterday thing is affecting my state of mind, it's like system said, I should get used to it soon.

— What do you think? — She looked at me, in anticipation of my answer.

— Ok, tell Brian I agree with it, but it's better you not fall for me. — I said, doing a Jojo pose, I'm sure her heart skipped a beat with this.

I looked at her, and she was gazing me like if I was an insane person who run away from the hospital.

— Hahaha, of course sir,' I was afraid of a kissing scene'. — She winkled in surprised and laughed.

After this, we talked about acting and our goals in the acting world, but some time latter we went to our houses.
