13 - Conversation

  'Ready...?' I asked my second voice while smiling.


  'Yup! Better not mess this up.' my second voice warned me as I just smiled.


  '3...'


  '2...'


  '1...'


  'Stare at Jennette and kiel and look like your on the edge of tears'


  This is the only moments that me and my second voice are at peace with one another.


  "A new princess" someone mumbled.


  "This maybe interesting"


  The whole room fell silent as I acted.


  Jennette panicked for a moment not knowing where to look.


  'look at the people gossiping and just look so tired of life.'


  This is what me and my second voice were born to do.


  "Look how pale she is" someone mumbled.


  'Hold in your breath for awhile you face will pale and just for effects don't let any tears fall it will look like you cried so much no more tears can come out.'


  My face literally paled due to me holding in my breath but it looked more like I didn't want to cry so I held my breath.


  "Stop tormenting the poor thing" someone mumbled.


  This is what makes me happy.


  "It doesn't seem like she'll have any fun"


  This is what I'm best at.


  "The emperor didn't even escort princess Athanasia"


  Acting to my heart's content.


  'squint your eyes and slightly open your mouth on top of that furrow your brows and look at Jennette with a lost abandoned creature'


  I love acting on stage.


  "This was supposed to be her debuted..."


  I just don't want to act in real life...


  The whole room felt my sorrow.


  If you look closely you could see some people having chills.


  Someone people's jaw dropped to the ground.


  Others eyes widdened.


  This is what I was born for.


  Everyone else felt my mood as if it were real.


  I enjoyed acting on stage...


  I love being an actor...


  And I will never give it up...


  I just hope that one day...


  I'll stop acting in real life...


  "Cut!" The director yelled with the widest smile on his face.


  "So? How was it...?" I asked walking towards Lucas and wanting to fish for a compliment.


  "Well... I would say it was quite... Acceptable." Lucas says grinning.


  "Stingy!" I said putting on a smug expression


  I'm good at acting I should be proud of it.


  "That was a good take Athanasia!" The director came up to me and said while I smiled.


  'Be modest about this.'


  "I don't think it was really that good..." I said smiling while scratching my neck.


  'Deny all the compliments'


  "Between you and me... It would've been better if we had you as main..." The director said awkwardly going away.


  "You really do have split personality..." Lucas said.


  "Shut up..." I said covering the fact that my mind was a wild mess thinking his did he find out.


  "What do you think they're doing over there?" Lucas asked pointing to Jennette, Kiel and the director.


  "Jennette is probably getting compliments from Mike and the director is standing there awkwardly nodding and praising while Jennette is being completely oblivious."


  "Does this happen often?" Lucas asked.


  "Every single time. Unlike me Jennette won't get asked to do shows instead she applies for them and she only applies if kiel is there, No one can reject her application since they would get it from Father" I said sighing.


  "If this show blows up she'll think it's because of her."


  "100% correct! Also I've been meaning to ask you. Why are your eyes red?" I ask finally getting the chance to ask what's been bugging me for the entire shoot.


  "This is my natural eyes colour. Don't ask why, not even the doctors know, this is kinda also something that I'm known for other then my amazing looks and flawless acting of course" Lucas said earning a scoff from me.


  "The why were your eyes brown?" I questioned.


  "Coloured contacts" Lucas said showing me a box in his pocket.


  "So Kiran is a child actor right?" I asked thinking of the drama I watched him in.


  "Yes. But for some reason every drama he acted in needs him to wear a wig and coloured contacts so no one really knows it him. How did you find out?" Lucas asked raising an eye brow.


  "I acted with him once I saw how he really looked for a split second." I said.


  "That makes sense."


  "Your father is Ace right? Tall, green eyes and dark brown hair?"


  "Yup, that's why Kiran had green eyes its not likely it was due to luck." Lucas replied.


  "So... What do you want to do while they are shooting the other scenes?" I asked Lucas.


  "I guess I'll go help Jennette with her lines since I can't have her ruin all the hard work everyone else put it." Lucas said shrugging his shoulders.


  "Go ahead she'll probably accept anything you say since she likes good looking guys."


  "So you admit I'm good looking?" Lucas asked smirking.


  "Yes. If your good looking no point acting like a school girl and denying it." I replied.


  "That rely is... Usual... I expected you to shout "No!" then look away and blush." Lucas said sounding disappointed.


  "Well sorry, I guess?" I said not feeling sorry at all.


  "So what are you going to do?" Lucas asked me.


  "First get out of this dress! It's absolutely horrible! Second... Maybe I'll just hang around and see who needs my help, also never ask help from me if it's to demonstrate something to Jennette last time that happened I-" I interrupted myself as I remembered what happened.


  "What happened?" Lucas asked.


  "Nothing! Absolutely nothing!" I said running away not wanting to be question.


  'Wait... Did I just hold a whole conversation by myself...?'


  'Oh my god! I don't even remember the last time I talked without my second voice being apart of the conversation!' I didn't know what to feel.


  Happy? Cause I held a conversation.


  Excited? Since this means I may not need my second voice for everyday life.


  Scared? Since I didn't have my second voice to stop me from saying something wrong.


  I changed out of the dress and put back on my outfit.


  "Athy! Can you get us some drinks? I want some bubble tea 80% suger with pearls!" I heard Jennette shout.


  'Ugh... Do I have too...'


  "Athanasia if you getting drinks can I have a milk tea?"


  "I want bubble tea with chin caow(Grass jelly)."


  Everyone started shouting orders as I took them down.


  'Rely "Sure no problem everyone!"'


  "Sure no problem everyone!" I smiled despite not wanting to go outside and be a errand girl, I just wanted to help people act and take down notes and pointers on how to improve myself...
