Chapter 3

Chapter 3: First Day

"I knew you liked Sam, I just had this feeling you know?" I said, picking up a fry.

"I told you this yesterday and you're still freaking out over it?" Brianna asks.

I dipped my fry into ketchup.

"So when are we rehearsing the first scene?" She said trying to change the subject. I rolled my eyes.

"Today, right after we finish eating actually," I told her looking at my phone to see the time.

"Well I'm done," she said, standing up throwing away her trash. I walked up right behind her with my trash and threw it away.

We walked outside to the car, and Brianna automatically took control of the radio.

"My heart is like a stallion, they love it more when it's broken. Do you wanna feel beautiful, do you wanna? Yeaah"

Alone together by fallout boy was on the radio. Brianna was about to change it when I stopped her because it's my jam!

"say yeah LETS BE ALONE TOGETHER WE COULD STAY YOUNG FOREVER. SCREAM IT FROM THE TOP OF YOUR LUUUNGS SAY YEAH" I sang at the top of my lungs (no pun intended).

"Why do you listen to this trash?"

"Excuse me? Fallout Boy Is the bomb. You have bad taste in music" I scoffed.

We pulled in front of the place we have to shoot the scene. It was a Dusty deserted place. This must be the part of the movie where the murderers hide the body and Liz and Tristen find it.

Okay you might be confused by what this whole movie is about. I'll explain it to you

Its a romance/mystery type of film. Its about a brother and sister, (Charlie And Liz played by Sam and me) and their sister died. Liz was the closest to her, so she was the most hurt. She was convinced it wasn't just death it was a murder. So she's trying to find clues and runs into a McDonald's cashier names Tristen (played by Logan) and he interested in finding out too.

So while Charlie is staying home being a lazy good for nothing brother, Liz and Tristen are searching for clues.

Towards the end of the film Tristen and Liz fall in love blah blah blah.

Meanwhile, Liz THINKS Charlie is at home but he's actually trying to figure out who murdered her too. He finds a certain lady friend Rosie (played by Brianna). They have been best friends for a few years and Rosie has always loved him. Charlie learns to love her too. Blah blah blah.

"Alex, c'mon it's time to rehearse the scene!" I heard John say.

"Coming!"

I walk over next to Logan, waiting for John to say 'Action'

"To busy Daydreaming about me?" Logan whispered in my ear. Ugh, he's so cocky I just wanna punch his cute nose...I mean nose...not cute nose because that would mean-

"Hello?" I heard Logan say, while waving a hand in my face.

I blinked and looked at him.

"I'm sorry what?"

He smirks.

"Nothing. I just know that you daydream about mee" He said and started skipping down the street. Yes,

I said skipping. He's so childish.

"No I wasn't!" I said, getting back in my place. I started repeating my lines in my head. I can't mess this up.

"Action!"

"Action!"

Wait, who talks first? What was my line again? Ugh, this is why I'm not an actress!

"Liz?"

"Uh, yeah?" Crap, was that my line? If it wasn't then oops.

"When we finally figure all of this out, will we still be friends? I- I mean, like..uh, when this murder case is over and we go on with our lives. College and that crap-" Tristen, or Logan rambles. I put my hand on his mouth to shush him. Crap I KNOW that wasn't part of my script. oops?

"Yeah, I think we will." I interrupt him. I give him a small smile.

"Cut!" Ugh I did something wrong agaain?

"I'm so sorry! I was just so nervous I would do something wrong and it just-"

"Shut up Alex, I liked the few things you added in." John said.

"You did? Seriously" I am so surprised. I thought I ruined the scene!

I looked over at Logan from the corner of my eye and see him smirking. There's like a permanent smirk on his face, I swear.

"Yeah, okay we are going to shoot the first scene this time, since we have been bouncing around everywhere. Sam and Alex are up!"

I walk over next to Sam in front of the green screen.

"Hello brothah" I said holding out my fist jokingly, for a fist bump.

He fist bumps me, and smiles.

"Okay, and action!"

This is the scene where Liz and Charlie's sister, Annie dies.

I walk over to the coffin where "Annie" lays and kneel down in front of her. This is my line.,,don't mess up, don't mess up.

"Hey sis," I say, fake tears starting to leak from my eyes. I'm just kidding, they are real because just reading the script is so sad. I need to cry.

I feel Sam behind me with one of his hands on my shoulder, trying to comfort me.

"I know I should be trying to get over your death, but I just can't. If you were here, you would WANT me to. You'd say 'Liz, suck it up and stop being a cry baby' but the thing is, I can't. Especially since I know this wasn't just a sudden death.

It was murder. I need to find out who did this to you." I pause, tears still going down my face. I sniffle.

"I'm sorry, for not being the sister you deserved or wanted. I was such a brat. I need you to know, that I miss you and love you. I will figure out who did this...this murder. And get them arrested or sent to prison whatever. They just need punishment for taking you away." I wipe my cheeks.

"I want my sissy back" another tear went down my cheek. I stand up.

"I love you sis, have fun partying in heaven."

Then I left the stage, for Sam to have his time with her. I wipe my eyes again and see Logan come up to me.

"Wow" He said. Wow? What?

"Huh?" I said confused.

"That was amazing Alex." He said and smiled. His eyes are sorta...red?

"I made you cry?" I said smiling a little. Ha, I made the great Logan Lerman cry, with my acting skills.

He goes wide eyed

"What- no! No you didn't." He denied quickly.

I smiled.

"Its okay, I cried too."

"Well you were the one acting, you had to cry" He said, I don't know if he was defending himself or me because what he said was defending no one.

"Okay that's a wrap!" John said. "I'll see you guys tomorrow, and we will shoot the next scene, where Liz and Tristen meet"

Joy!

Okay now reread that last sentence but use sarcasm.

*Brianna's POV*

"Brianna and Sam stay behind though," John added.

Why do I have to stay behind?

"What's wrong?" I asked as Sam walked up beside me.

"I'd like to shoot a few Rosie and Charlie scenes real quick."

"Okay," Sam said.

"Act 4, page 40" John said and I flipped through the scene real quick, to get an idea of how I'm suppose to act.

OnceI has most of it memorized, I sets the script down and walked over to where John told me to stand.

"Okay...and action!"

I hold a phone up to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked, this is the scene where Charlie (Sam) calls Rosie (me) and tells her his plan to find the murderer.

"Hey, its Charlie." I heard Sam say from the other room.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked concerned since the character didn't know why he called.

"Can you meet me where we used to meet? I need to ask you something."

"Yeah sure," I said grabbing the keys before walking out the 'door', my ear still against my phone.

"Okay see you there."

"Cut!" John said. "Perfect! Absolutely perfect! Can we shoot one more?"

"I'm fine with it," Sam said.

"I actually have this thing to go to, I'm sorry im probably already late-"

"See your already late! Now we can film more since your late." John said.

"I-I got to go" I said and walked out the door.

While I was running I heard footsteps behind me that I knew too well. Sam.

"Why are you leaving?"

"I have somewhere to be," was all I said before I continued walking.

"Bri!" Sam called from behind me.

"What?" I ask irritated. I turn around to see him running towards me.

He obviously didn't see me stop. I turned around at the wrong time so he ran into me.

Well....onto me.

I didn't have time to move so I (being the clumsy person I am) fell backwards with Sam right on top.

Awkward.

I looked up at him into his eyes, and notice how beautiful they really are. Whey got lost in each other's eyes (again).

His eyes were so beautiful...and unique. They are green, and not many people have green eyes.

Especially boys. So that makes him even more unique.

His eyes were like an ocean, green with a small but of blue. Gorgeous.

Sam blinked which gets me out of my trance.

"I'm sorry-" we both say at the same time.

Sam gets up and gives me his hand to help pull me up.

"Sorry," I mumble and walk out the door most likely confusing Sam.

It's not my fault I was heartbroken in the past...okay maybe it was since I chose them.

When I walked out the door I saw Alex waiting for me in her car....but Logan is there?

*Alex's POV*

"Brianna and Finnick stay behind." John said from behind me.

Brianna looks at me and I give her a smile and a big thumbs up.

"Good luck" I mouthed to her while she glares.

I open the door and am hit with a strong breeze since it is November.

I cling my jacket closer to me, while my hair blows in every way.

"Stupid hair" I mumble trying to move it out of my face.

"Sure is windy today, isn't it?" I heard a familiar voice from behind me. Logan Lerman, the cockiest person I have met.

I have mixed emotions about him okay? One second he's nice and a total sweetheart. And the next, he is so cocky and full of himself I want to punch him.

Wait now that I think about it...has he ever been not cocky?

"What do you want?" I ask, irritated.

"Jeez what happened to you?" Logan asked. "One second you are crying on set and the next you are moody?"

"Sorry for not wanting to be around you 24 hours a day." Okay that might be a little mean, but I want to just go to my car and listen to the radio without any...interruptions.

"Ouch. You hurt me Alex" He said holding his heart. Well not actually...holding it. Ugh, you know what I mean.

"I'm doing my job right then," I mumble and walk faster towards my car.

"Wait Alex!"

I keep walking.

"Alex!"

I open my car door and hurriedly get inside.

Sadly I didn't lock the doors and he just got right into the passengers seat.

"What do you want?" I rolled my eyes.

"You."

I look at him confused.

"This is when you admit your love to me and we start making out, Alex! Geesh, you can't even do one thing" Logan whines.

I stick my tongue out at him and shove him.

"Get out of my caaar" I whined. I wanna go home and watch stupid movies.

"Nope"

This boy I swear.

I grit my teeth.

"Please leave. I wanna go home"

"You can't do that because Brianna isn't out yet." Dang how does this boy know that she's coming home with me?

"But YOU can leave," I pointed out.

"Nahh, I came with Sam."

Really? Were they even friends? I miss out on a lot. It's silent for a while. He is so comfortable just sitting there....I hate it. Why can't he just leave? I wanted to listen to MY music!

I look to my right and I see Brianna and Sam talking it looks like. I have awful eyesight so I don't know what's happening.

I look over at Logan.

"Leave."

"No"

"Leave"

"No"

"Stay"

"Really?"

"No!"

"I will leave under one condition." He finally says.

"How about under no condition and you just get your arse out of my fricken car." That's a great idea Alex. How did you ever come up with it?

"Nahh, this car I'd actually very comfortable," He says while putting his feet up by the window.

"Leave"

"No"

"Why won't you leave?"

"Why can't I stay?"

"Touche"

Logan turns towards me and leans towards my ear.

"I'll leave now," he whispers.

FINALLY THANK THE LORD I AM FREE.

I smile and nod.

"What are you waiting for? Get out of my car!"

He rolls his eyes and opens the door to get out.

"See you tomorrow," he says and winks.

Stupid Logan, stupid car, stupid wink, stupid boys ugh.

A few minutes later Brianna comes up.

She's silent, and sits down in the passenger seat.

"I saw that," Brianna said. Saw what?

"Huh?"

"You kissed LOGAN FRICKEN LERMAN ALEX. WHOOHOO GET SOME!"

I kissed- What? I'm so confused.

"What are you even talking about?"

"A few minutes ago, Logan leaned forward and kissed you. I saw it with my OWN EYES! You even smiled after" she said and winked....or tried to wink. You see, Brianna can't exactly wink.

"Look I did not kiss Logan, he whispered something in my ear. And I only smiled because he said he was LEAVING" I explained.

"Mhmm...wait really? Awe, I thought you actually did something."

"Haha, nope. The only thing that happened was him getting on my nerves. He wouldn't leave!"

Brianna nods.

"Oh"

"Anyways. What happened between you and Sam?" I asked wiggling my eyebrows.

Briannas whole face then lights up at the thought of Sam. Awe, someone likes him!

And no, I'm not talking about himself.
