Chereads / Super actor reborn / Chapter 22 - Brad

Chapter 22 - Brad

Finally, It's time to act.

Thanks god, I talked with dad before leaving, I didn't know he had thoughts like those, but it doesn't erase what he did in the past.

I'm giving him another chance, I hope he doesn't screw it up. Either way, it's enough of this kind of thought, I have to focus on the class that's about to begin.

A man was standing in front of the class, he was using a black suit, his eyes sharp blue eyes give chills to whoever look at it, his mouth side raised in a snobbish way when he looked at the class.

His brownish hair, almost blond, make him looks younger than he really is, and the most iconic thing from him: his goatee.

Who is he? He's one of the most famous actors from the Millers film, no, he is the most famous one.

Brad Spit, he recently won the Oscar of best actor, his most recent movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, it has been watched by almost everybody who has any kind of connection with internet.

Rumors says that he's really in debt with Miller Films, and it seems to be true, he would not teach a random group of new actors if he were not.

— I'll be honest with you all. I don't want to be here, so I hope you do your best to not waste my time. — He said, and I've confirmed another rumor, that he's a douchebag.

He pointed at two people of the class and said:

— Both of you are dismissed from this class. — He said, and everyone was shocked with him, no one even opened the mouth, but he already expelled someone.

One suddenly smashed his hand on the desk, the sound woke everyone up from the shock.

— Why? — The guy who smashed his hand shouted.

When I looked at the other person Brad pointed, she was completely relaxed, she didn't seem like someone who was about to be expelled.

A smile rose on her face, a schadenfreude one, she was with a hand on her mouth, but I'm sat next to her, so I heard her almost inaudible laugh.

When I looked at Brad he was with the same smile, I felt that something was happening, but I did not understand what it exactly is.

— Answer me, why? — The guy screamed, I could see the saliva flying out of his mouth while he was screaming, he's losing his mind.

Brad is still quietly looking at him, the smile full of ridicule never left his face, he was staring right at his eyes.

The guy, in the middle of his freak-out, did not even think of looking at the other person who was 'dismissed'. Maybe if he did, he would not be in such state.

When I was looking at the girl, I've heard a click on my head, all the gears on my brain were at maximum speed.

I felt that what I thought was right, I'm slowly understanding the system.

[Seems like you are growing up, you are not that stupid kid anymore, huh?]

Brad's body was showing how severe he was, he slowly walked to the boy, put his hand on his shoulder.

The boy's body was trembling, he was grinding his teeth, his hand was closed in a punch form, when he was about to do something he would repent.

Then, suddenly, Brad's aura changed, the threatening stare he was doing disappeared, then he laughed.

— Look at you, did you really think I was being serious? — He said.

Everyone in the room was looking at him with disbelief, why did he suddenly change?

The facial expression, mannerisms, even his way of talking changed. On the little we heard, he was a serious and severe person, but then he changed to an extrovert and cool person.

The guy who was angry, now is with a blank face, seems like he's having a hard time trying to understand.

— Sigh, seems like you did not understand. — He said, disappointed.

— What I just did is acting, or at least my concept of acting. I can be whoever I want to be, whenever I want. — He said, but now with a bubbly tone, like if he was a teenager, and it was not awkward. It seemed to fit in somehow.

— What you will learn is not act to movies, but how to act in general. You are not even able to touch the inch of acting in a movie, it's too early for you. — He said, now with his normal tone of voice.

While he was explaining, the girl who was sitting stood up and walked to Brad side.

Then, I realized why I felt something familiar from her, she's Rose Crimson Johansson, also one of the biggest actress from Miller's film.

Why did she come here?

How did I have not recognized her?

These questions were travelling through my mind in this short amount of time.

When I was looking at her, she winked at me, and that got me even more surprised.

What in the world is happening right now?

She sat on the desk next to the blackboard, crossing her legs attractively, I felt my blood travelling down. I pinched my arm with all my strength, I couldn't let my second head dominate my thoughts, not now.

— Looks like only some of you noticed what's happening, I'll skip greetings, you surely know who I am. — She said, while looking at me and smiling at me.

— It's like Brad said, we'll begin with the basics, then the better among you will be taught by we two, so I hope you do your best. — She winked at me again when she said the last sentence.

— We'll be leaving right now, the first lesson will be self-study. Tomorrow, we want you all to have read: The prince, Maquiavel. — he said, then he and Rose head out of the room.

Everyone was talking about it, nobody understood why he wanted us to read a book that doesn't relate to act. I picked up my phone and bought it on Kindle, and started reading it.

While I was trying to immerse myself in the book, I saw that Jesse was doing nothing. I walked to her and said:

— Will you not read it? — I asked, trying to understand why she didn't read it.

— WAAAAH — She screamed, seems like I scared her.

— Don't do this again. I almost had a heart attack. — She said, trying to breathe normally.

She's really cute, I had to try my best to not pinch her cheeks, she's like a golden retriever.

— Sorry, but why didn't you begin the reading? The book may be not that big, but we need to spend a good time reading and re-reading it. — I said, worried that she will procrastinate it.

If we had more time, I would not worry, but we need to read it until tomorrow.

When I said she looked down, seems like she's thinking about something, I kept myself quiet while she seemed lost in thoughts.

Some time latter, she sighed and said:

— I've spent all my money buying books about acting, I thought I was ready, but why should I read The prince? That has nothing to do with acting. — She said, sighing again at the last part.

— SIgh, I know, right? — I said, still having no clue about why he chose such a book among all others, he could pick a better one.

— I really hate reading philosophy and science books, I don't know what to do. — She said, it's not science, but I kept that to me.

— So, do you want to read it with me, we can talk about it on a call, while we read it. — I said, trying to help her.

— If you have some doubt, I'll do my best to help you, milady. — I said, with a chivalry tone.

She laughed, her laugh is not a sweet laugh, is like a car starting, but somehow I think it's cute.

The time flied and then I got home.
