learning to relax

Man, being strung up on the cables was so hard but it was fun although it sucked refilming it I could hardly contain my excitement maybe I shouldn’t have done my own stunts after all. My manager looked furious! 

“ Trash client please don’t do that again you risked losing me money if you ever lose me money I’ll kill you and myself and it’ll be all your fault!” I look shocked it’s the first time she’s gone this far. 

“ Ah oh I-I s-sorry please don’t kill yourself I need you.” I bow down on my hands and knees to show how sorry I am. She scoffs and walks away. 

“ Keep in contact then, pick up more work!” Well that makes sense it’s all about the money for her but if it keeps her happy I don’t mind taking on extra work. She must live an extravagant life being a gyaru. 

“ Man you have yourself one good manager haha she is kinda harsh though!” I hear a loud voice speaking from behind me. I turn to see the director sitting on his phone. He seems to be looking for something. “ Here, my daughter ain’t she a doll.” He flashes me a picture of a girl who looks like Ai Sayasui don’t tell me I promised to go out on a date with her! 

“ D DIRECTOR!!! YOUR DAUGHTER IS AI SAYASUI?! I’ve been stabbed in the back by fate.” the director looks at me curiously for having such a negative reaction he seems to know how popular she is as a model. “ I don’t think it’s going to work out, she probably hates me.” It’s not far from the truth. Probably She loves having people bend to her will but I'm not that big of a kiss-up.

” Well you promised one date, she might not even agree to it so see you tomorrow for more filming.” The next day the director showed up with Ai and surprisingly Mikawa.” Hey kid, we found this girl on the street. She looks like she could be a star right?” the director chuckled. I just stood there lost for words.

” well what are you staring at look Ken I can do this…” Mikawa said defensively but still unconfidently.”

 I know you can, I believe in you.” I said to her confidently, her eyes spring open in shock but I just smile and nod at her.

” Alright filming time make sure everyone is in place, new girl put on these horns and stand behind the trees." Everyone hurried to their places with smiles on their faces. I guess I was so focused on Kuzuriha I shut out everything else alright I’ll give it my all!

We started to film the big fight scene. I was forced to fly around like a bat even though it was a bit nauseating. I was still able to enjoy it. Of course the director just had to add his own flair into it and added Mikawa to play my lover, no matter how much I tried to fight him on the decision he just laughed it off saying I worry too much and the creator of the manga already gave up on this series. ” MAN ACTING SUCKSSS!!” I heard Mikawa say from behind me at the vending machines.

” well I get it my first day was yesterday ha it is difficult.” I say to her laughing. She jumps around to see me. She seems to have thought she was alone.

 “ Wasuki don’t scare me like that but yes acting is horrible I don’t know what the director was thinking.” she sighs and chuckles a bit.

“ I know you like to be serious most of the time but acting is about having fun being your character. I think if you just let go and sink into your character you’ll have plenty of fun.” she smiles before sitting next to me on the bench. 

“ Yeah you're right I just can’t seem to relax I’m worried I might screw things up for everyone you started yesterday you know this feeling right?” she stares down in her drink looking sad that she can’t let go and relax.

 “ hey you know American spirit well we can’t smoke instead take a sip of that drink and let out your true feelings.” I smile at her and pat her on the back. She smiles back at me then takes a sip.

 “ You know what I think this is because of my role as class president I can never relax. It seems I’ve forgotten how to but I’ll learn it today. After all, I am the top student in our class!” She smiles at me, a little exhausted she seems to have forced it out. I give her a hug before the director calls her over for a scene. She quickly finishes her drink before running over to film the scene.

 I almost forgot about Ai until she stood right in front of me.” Ai what the hell do you want? I don't like you.” she laughs before dangling her foot in front of my face.

 “ It’s not too late to lick it and I’ll let you be my pet.” she smirks. I grit my teeth.

 “ Apologize and I’ll let you be my pet.” I say sarcastically and smirk. She seemed pretty angry as she grits her teeth and storms off. Man she annoys me, she thinks everyone will be her little dogs.

” Man, the director raised such a brat huh?” I jump and look around to see Mio smiling and laughing. 

“ Oh yeah, although I already knew her from a previous photo shoot.” she opens her eyes wider.

 “ model wait you were a model can you help make me one?” She says excitedly moving in closer to me.

 “ Um that’s something for my manager I’ll call her over hold on.” I called my manager asking her to talk to Mio and as soon as I mentioned her being a possible client my manager was there in a flash. She seemed to completely gloss over me and ran straight to Mio. Well, my manager loves money so I won't interfere at least there’s mutual interest. I start walking over to the set to see Mikawa acting in the scene. When I arrive I see Mikawa still looking a little reserved but a lot more relaxed. I smile and watch her complete the scene.
