Chapter 3: The Scene
Blue: I-! [Sighs] Fine, I'll do it. I'll carry the movie for all of you
Evelyn: Yes! Also, watch yourself, I'm the star
Blue: I thought it was Jenna? Or even Ghostface?
Evelyn: Don't you get sassy with me, Little Blue!
We all laughed and decided to order take away because it was a big moment, I had been lost when thinking about my career, I have gone through hell to just try and get a career in boxing.
And that didn't last long because I had many obstacles that dragged me down. I didn't know what I wanted to do, because I didn't have a passion for it like I did for boxing. I don't really like acting like that, but it's only a small part, and maybe it can light some sort of spark inside of me.
But my biggest dream was to make my father proud and become undisputed in a weight divison. I could still do it, but how long would I actually last in my pro journey.
The amateurs have given me bad injuries and the pro divison is definitely much more of a hill for me to climb.
I just got to do what I can with this acting thing, and hey, maybe I can find something that will interest me. It could be acting for all I know.
After all of that, I went to bed because I had training tomorrow, sleep was a bit hard because all of a sudden, I was going to be an extra in a highly anticipated movie.
But if I remain calm, I'll be good to go, if I can do that in a boxing match, then I'll be able to do this. The morning comes and I felt someone on top of me, I lift the clover slightly to see my little sister, Ophelia.
Blue: Ophy? What are you doing?
Ophelia: I wanted to sleep with you
Blue: Was Liz annoying?
Ophelia: No, she was very loud!
Blue: Her snores? Or was she even sleeping?
Ophelia: Umm, I don't know
Blue: It's okay, because I don't mind you here. Now come on, let's go and have some breakfast
Ophelia: I want pineapple!
Blue: Then we shall have pineapple, then I'm going to drop you off to school-
A knock was heard on my door so I tell the person to come in, the door opens and my mother steps in, looking around until her eyes landed on Ophelia.
Andromeda: Ah! There she is, I was wondering where you were. Oh, Blue, her school has been closed down temporarily
Blue: Is this about the incident?
Andromeda: Exactly that, the police are looking for the man and Ophelia's teacher remembered his face
Blue: Hear that, Ophy? You're coming to the gym today with me!
Ophy: Yay! No school! Can we see Uncle Aaron?
Blue: Of course, he basically lives there
Andromeda: I know you always do a good job. But can you please watch her carefully?
Blue: I will, always.
We all have our breakfast and go our separate ways. My mother heads to work, Evelyn goes to the shoot, Elizabeth goes to her school and I take Ophelia with me to the boxing gym.
Coach Aaron was already there, educating some of the pro fighters that go here. Once he was done, I set Ophelia down to the ground and watch her run up to the man.
Ophelia: Uncle Aaron!
Aaron: Woah! Hey there, little one, why the hell are you not in school?
Ophelia: School is closed!
Aaron: What!? Was it your fault?
Ophelia: [Laughs] No!
Blue: Yeah, she isn't Elizabeth. Some guy tried to kidnap her and I scared him off, now the police are looking for him
Aaron: You only scared him off? Bitch, if it was me, I would've cracked his skull! No one messes with my little champ here!
Ophelia: [Gasp] Uncle Aaron, you said a bad word!
Aaron: Did I? Ah, my bad, princess. I'll try and watch myself. But right now, we're going to watch your brother show his shi-! Dead skills!
Blue: Dead skills? Ah hell nah! That's it, I'm motivated now!
Blue immediately puts on the gloves and starts using the Cobra Ball, he was quick and precise but not just in offense, his head movement was on point as well and he would practice countering the ball after avoiding it when it comes back at him.
After that, he moves onto the heavy bag and starts doing the same thing, he imagines that the bag is his opponent and does his best to keep his head off the centre line when throwing certain punches.
That was one problem he had, he didn't like moving his head off the centre line because he was that confident.
Blue throws more combinations on the heavy bag, and for a split second, he saw himself in an actual boxing ring, against an actual opponent. But that's what causes him to stop as he takes a few deep breaths, it was strange because he wasn't tired at all.
No. He was more....scared, frightened. Aaron could see this and goes up to Blue, patting him on his back.
Aaron: You okay, kid?
Blue: Y-Yeah, just....the thought came back
Aaron: Damn, that's bad. I would say go talk to someone, but it's up to you
Blue: M-Maybe I do need to talk to someone. But I'm not sure they can help whatever this is.
Ophelia: Blue, are you okay?
Blue: I'm good, Ophy. Let's go home, okay?
Ophelia: Okay! Bye, Uncle Aaron!
Aaron: See ya, kiddo.
I take Ophelia with me back home, but on the way, we accidentally bump into someone.
Blue: Oh shoot! S-Sorry!
???: No no! It's okay, I was looking at my phone!
Blue: I was zoning out though, so I think it's both of our faults
???: Yeah, I can agree with that
Ophelia: Hello! I'm Ophelia!
???: Oh! Hello! I'm Emma
Blue: Emma....wait....Emma Myers?
Emma: Yes, that's me. You didn't want to assume it was me, right?
Blue: No, I didn't know what you looked like. But I had a feeling it was you, you also know my sister
Emma: I do?
Ophelia: Evee!
Emma: Evee? Wait, you mean Evelyn?!
Blue: Y-Yeah. I'm Blue Light, her younger brother
Emma: Oh wow! How convenient! And you're also going to have one scene in our movie, right?
Blue: It was dropped on me, but I accepted because why not?
Emma: I mean, yeah, Scream 7. Well then, Blue, can't wait to see you next time!
Blue: Which will be tomorrow
Emma: Yeah, I would tell you to say hi to Evelyn for me, but she is still doing her scenes
Blue: Right, bye, Emma
Emma: Bye Blue, bye Ophelia!
Ophelia: Buh bye!
We go our separate ways as both me and Ophelia head back home, it was just us two at home so we play Forza Horizon 5 and take turns on it.
After that, we watched the first Pokemon Movie together in the living room and finished it around the time that Elizabeth and Evelyn got back.
Blue: Hello there
Elizabeth: Hey, so have you two done anything interesting?
Ophelia: We saw Emma!
Evelyn: Emma? Wait, Emma Myers?!
Blue: Yeah, we just bumped into her, kind of mad you know?
Evelyn: Kind of, she was done with her scenes and went to meet up with someone
Elizabeth: Careful Blue, you might end up in the media again
Blue: God I hope not, I also don't want to be noticed when the movie comes out.
Evelyn: It's just one scene, I doubt that you will be noticed when everyone is going get gassed over Jenna, Emma, Melissa or Ghostface.
(......Y-Yeah, this was made before all of that, if you know what I mean)
Blue: What about you?
Evelyn: I guess myself as well, but I'm still growing
Ophelia: I'm hungry! Can we have chicken for dinner?
Blue: Mum did say she was going out somewhere with Auntie Ingrid. So takeaway it is!
Elizabeth: You just love takeaway, I would call you fat, but you look after yourself more than any of us
Blue: I'm untouchable from your insults!
The four of us end up getting takeaway and watch one of the boxing events on, the main event was in the Light Heavyweight division and it was for the WBO title. One of the fighters was defending it and this would mark his 5th defence of the title.
He did so successfully and I kept looking at the belt, because I wanted it, it sounds like jealousy but really I do have the ability to compete. I just got to fight my "boxing demon" first before I can fight for a title
But.....can I?
_________________
The next day arrived and that meant I had to go into the studio....set? I don't actually know what it's called, but it's where they're filming the movie.
I leave with Evelyn and her security guards, who still remain quiet as always, and wait patiently until we arrived at the location. I kept tapping my fingers together and Evelyn noticed this.
Evelyn: Blue, just remain calm, you will do great, I know you will
Blue: Eve, I don't even know what the scene is....
Evelyn: It's an easy scene, trust me. All you have to do is pass me something and say your one line
Blue: Wait....we are in the same scene?!
Evelyn: We are, I don't know if I already told you or not
Blue: Don't matter! Because I'm more confident than before! I....I think at least
Evelyn: [Giggles] Let's just get in first and see what happens
Blue: Y-Yeah
We reach the site and enter the building where I could see all of the props, equipment and people working on this movie. I always wanted to see one of these because it looks like a whole vibe, didn't think I would actually be apart of one though.
Evelyn guides me to another section where the director was, I believe his name was Christmas London?
Evelyn: Christopher!
Christopher: Oh! Evelyn! And you must be her brother, I'm Christopher Landon
.....close enough.
Blue: Y-Yeah, hello. I'm Blue Light
Christopher: Thank you for coming in to do the scene, I didn't think Evelyn would recommend her own brother to take part
Blue: Neither did I
Christopher: Haha, you're a funny kid. Anyways, just wait with your sister until she has to film some of her scenes. Then we will get to yours
Blue: O-Okay......
I go with Evelyn as she sits down somewhere, I sit with her and talk to her for a bit. Then Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers come by and sit next to Evelyn.
Jenna: You ready, Evelyn?
Evelyn: Oh course. Oh, Jenna, this is my brother, Blue
Blue: H-Hey
Jenna: Oh, so you're Blue? That is a strange name
Emma: Jenna!
Jenna: Oh I'm so sorry! That was rude of me!
Blue: I-It's okay, Emma, I get it a lot, I'm used to it. Jenna, you don't have to apologise. How am I talking to new people and not panicking?!
Jenna: I should apologise, it was rude. Evelyn told me there was meaning behind it
Blue: You did?
Evelyn: She questioned me and I answered honestly
Emma: I didn't say anything when we met yesterday, didn't want to make a "bad first impression"
Blue: Evelyn is right, there is meaning to it. I'll say another time though
Again, I can't believe I'm having a casual conversation with these two. I'm usually shy when it comes to meeting new people!
Emma: Let us know when, I want to know the reason and meaning
Jenna: I also realised that you're the one that was mistook for Evelyn's boyfriend, right?
Blue: God, it was so stupid
Evelyn: Amusing, because people get defensive straight away
Blue: Never again!
Soon enough, I had to wait on the side and watch the others do their scenes. It was so surreal to see and funny because there were some blooper moments, some including Evelyn herself.
But then it was my turn, Christopher talks to me about what I have to do and say in this one scene and thankfully, I understand everything. I was still nervous of course but that's normal when it comes to these things.
Blue: Alright Blue, it's time. Just remain calm and don't forget the lines.
I hear action and wait until I have to walk in, so I watch as Evelyn was talking to Jenna about some things. I'm still confused on why Tara Carpenter was in school, since she is my age, but I guess the director said "screw it!".
I was then told to walk forward and do what I got to do. I walk towards Evelyn and hand her the prop of the homework, then I spoke in a low voice that I was instructed to do.
Blue: Evelyn, here is that copy of the homework you needed
Evelyn: Oh thanks, Asher! You're a life saver!
Yeah, her character is called Evelyn while I was.....Asher.....
Bloody hell, that feels weird.
Who wrote this?
Blue: No problem....
I walk away and the two continue the scene until the director commands them to stop. I sigh in relief when he says that we don't have to film it again so I sit on the side and relax before Evelyn sits next to me
Evelyn: Hey, you did good! Easy right?
Blue: I guess you can call it easy, I only had two lines, but that's the life of an extra
Evelyn: Maybe you can become more than an extra in the future
Blue: Hah, I don't know about that
Evelyn: I mean it, Blue, I think you can become one
Jenna: Evelyn's right, never say no to an opportunity
Blue: Oh hey, didn't see you there. But I don't know if it's for me, I'll have to see when the movie comes out first
Jenna: Will you be at the premiere?
Blue: Maybe? I'm not sure.
Evelyn: Well, you're coming to the afterparty because I'm inviting our family and Adam's.
Blue: Oh, okay. Guess my little contribution means something
I spoke with the director for a few minutes before leaving as he complimented me for my perfect first take. He says he will contact me through Evelyn if he needs to let me know about anything.
We go home and I head to my room for some rest and that, while Evelyn tells the family about my scene. I go on my phone and look on Twitter to see if there is anything about me, so far. I've only seen old tweets about my father tragically passing away and things related to Evelyn.
There was the somewhat viral picture that got people wanting to go after me because they thought I was Evelyn's boyfriend.
No, just.....no.
And then there was the WIRED video where Evelyn has cleared up on who I was. Her fans were understanding but I'm still going to watch myself.
You never know when I could get jumped, this the streets of London yeah?
I kept scrolling and found things about my amateur career, hell, even Joe Rogan knows about me. He rates my skills and was a big fan of my dad.
And he understands my situation?! Get me on the Pod! Right now!
But most of the public eye have forgotten who I am, they just remember my dad. The only way I would get recognised by most people is if I become a pro, but that probably won't happen.
Even I'm starting to doubt myself.
