STORMI ESTES

⋆⭒˚.⋆☆⋆｡𖦹°✮⋆˙,

hi, i'm stormi!

Today's the day. The day of filming. I haven't filmed in so long. I missed it so much.

The cameras and lights. I can't wait to drown for the first scene.

I was was talking to myself to get prepared before i enter the building. I'm so nervous that my car felt bad and started shaking with me. Me and my car are just close like that.

I pull into the parking area and got myself ready again. I came extra early so i can meet everyone without a rush. Or whoever is here early as well.

₊ ⊹ ⟡

"Hi, I'm Stormi Estes," i greet the director. Mr. James Bobin. I've seen all of his works and i'm super excited to work with him.

"Stormi, nice to meet you! I'm James as you may know," he smiles, shaking my head.

"Yep! I'm also super excited to be here, so thank you so much," i smile widely.

"Of course, please go meet the rest of the cast," he tells me.

I nod and go walk around the set. Maybe i'll bump into someone. It could be those cliche moments where one person bumps into another and they like fall in love. The guy would catch the woman. Or no. The woman catches the guy. That would be fun. I'm all for women power.

I look around to see if anyone was near. I'm getting tired of talking to myself.

I spot a girl with curly hair. She's not with anyone, so that's a good sign that i should talk to her.

"Hi there! I'm Stormi! I'm casted as diana," i smile at her.

"It's great to meet you, stormi! I'm Dior and i'm clarisse in the show," she greets back.

I gasp, "I think you'd be a great clarisse! You're so pretty too!"

"Thank you! That means a lot," she smiles.

"By any chance.. is there any other people around here that i could meet. I mean obviously.. that was kind of stupid," I laugh.

"Girl, you're good. Walker, Leah, and Aryan are munching outside the trailers," she laughs.

"Thanks! I'll probably look around before going straight to them! I'll see you around," i smile and turn away.

Maybe, i should get familiar around here. The set is actually pretty cool. Obviously, they've been here before me since i don't even come in till later, hence why i didn't really show up the other day. I do my own thing. I'm the side character, but still there a lot. So I'm important in a way.

I spot three other people once i reached the more outside of the set part.

That's probably who dior was talking about.

They all have curly hair. I feel out of place, what the heck. I didn't know it was going to be a whole curly head cast. They had planned my downfall for sure.

I'm actually twitching right now. It's gonna start an earthquake.

Before i know it, i felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Are you lost," a girl asked me.

"uhh.. i don't think so? I think," i chuckle nervously.

"You must be stormi! I heard fantastic things about you and i saw you in your recent movie and you were amazing," she smiles.

"whattt, thank you! I'm so flattered," i smile at the compliment.

"I'm Leah! And the other two over there are Walker and Aryan," she points at each one when saying their names.

"cool, cool! I'm guessing you guys are the main three? Sorry.. if i'm being honest i haven't done my research into all this just yet," i admit.

"as long as you know what you're doing," she laughs.

"right! anyone could be doing everything wrong, but if they act confident no one will suspect a thing," i exclaimed.

"i should do that next time im taking a test," she sighs.

"Oh.. i do not miss taking tests. I'm so glad i'm out of that this year," i sigh in relief.

"You're so lucky, dude. Oh! I can show you where you can leave your stuff," she smiles.

"That'd be nice. Wouldn't want to be on camera with my tote bag," i joke.

"Follow me," she motions me to follow.

"For someone who's been acting for so long, i'm acting like i don't know a thing. Thats ironic," i laugh to myself.

I don't know how to use it in a sentence but it seems correct.

She brought me to a trailer and i placed my stuff down.

"I'm gonna head out now! It was nice meeting you! My stylist will have a heart attack if i don't show up exactly when she told me to," she whispers.

I laugh, "go ahead! I'll be okay."

She leaves and i look myself in the mirror. Hey, i'm lowkey hitting today. Must be some luck.

I only say some because if i had the luck i would have that really good welch's gummies right now.

I forced myself to leave the trailer and when i open the door there was a thud. Oh my goodness, i just hit something.

I take a peak behind the door and it was.. a guy. But not any guy... the same guy?

"I'm so sorry," i gasp, closing the door behind me.

He looks up with his hand over his nose.

"Oh.. you," he mutters.

"And it's good to see you too," i smile awkwardly. I'm guessing this was his job.

Wait.. is this my cliche moment? I always wanted to experience a cliche moment. It may not be the bumping into someone scenario, but it will do.

"Are you good? I didn't mean to hit you. I would say i didn't see you, but it would be obvious. I'm still gonna say it though. Sorry about that, I didn't see you," i tell him.

"I missed when it was quiet," he sighs and walks past me.

I have nothing to do right now, so imma go with him. He doesn't seem like he's in a rush.

"Am i forgiven? You didn't clarify," i run to catch up to him.

"Why are you here," he says.

"I have nothing else to do. Also, it seems like we're here for the same reason," i smile.

"Yay me.." he sarcastically says.

"I don't get why you're acting so aloof. We have so much in common. Like.. acting," i tell him.

"That's one thing," he says.

"Still something. I should've recognized you. Actually, never mind. 2020 was rough. Ever since quarantine i binged watch so many shows and whatnot. I mean you do still look the same now that i think about it. What was that show called again," i asked him.

He takes a minute before responding.

"look it up," he says.

I ignore his statement. "Also, we're gonna be in the same series so lighten up. We were doing great yesterday," i say.

"doing great? you talked my ears off... and still doing that," he whispers to himself.

"I felt like there was some progress in it," i tell him.

He doesn't respond at all.

"We can get to know each other. Like i said.. we'll be working together so might as well," i shrug.

He didn't respond still.

"Im allergic to fish. I don't like the color yellow, polka dots, socks too high, people named caleb, and i hate jam," i nod at my list, agreeing with myself.

"why did you start with your negatives," he asks.

"cause they're the easiest to think of.. duh," i tell him like it was the most obvious thing.

"Your shirt is inside out," he says out of the blue.

"what?"

I look down to my shirt and it wasn't inside out.

"No, it's not-"

I looked back up to him just to find him gone.

What magic sourcery is that?

"You should just give up. It's not like you're getting anywhere," i say.

"Ignore her. She's... her. We just have to continue to find what you're good at, that's all," charlie speaks up.

"Maybe she's right. Is there a greek god of disappointment? Maybe someone should ask him if he's missing a kid," walker looks hopeless.

He looks between the three of us.

"Oiyzs..." charlie starts talking again.

"but she's a goddess.. and her whole thing isn't really disappointment. It's more like.. failure," andrew finishes charlie's statement.

...

...

"CUT!"

The director whispers to the guys recording probably to check over.

₊ ⊹ ⟡

He made us do every scene twice. I started memorizing every line better after that. Great director. A+. I would come again.

"hey, mom!"

I close the front door after me.

"hey, hun. How was filming," she asks me.

"great! i think i nailed all my scenes and did my lines very... spectacular! I forgot some lines, but lucky for them im great at improvising," i smile.

Aka, repeating the lines over.

"I bet.. You are quite the chatterbox," she says jokingly.

"that was so goofy, mom. Don't even start," i laugh as i make my way to my room.
