This is my entry for round two season two of Chiaroscuro's writing contest (Here). It is 790 words and 4,219 characters long.
“Cut!” The director shouted “Patrick, if you can't remember your lines, try a little bit harder for it! We're not paying amateurs! You, and all the rest had to get accepted for your roles, so you had to prove you had what it takes. I'm doubting that now.”
“Isn't he being a bit hard on him? He does the best of all of us, but he is treated as the worst when he makes a mistake, it seems unfair.” Sam stated. Sam was a pretty reserved girl who had jet black long hair, amber colored eyes, quite fair skin and usually stuck to being simply dressed clothing. Which seemed to not fit her role at all, which was a fearless woman who was very fiery and firm, but surprisingly she played her part exceptionally well. I’d known her since high school, as I was one to seek out the ones alone and we’ve been friends since then.
“The director just despises him, because he took the role of his favorite ‘pet’ remember?” Jake replied. Jake was your everyday slacker and practical joker (except for when it came to acting), he had jagged light blond hair, he's worn contacts as long as I’ve known him that were the same color as his hair so I’ve never seen their real color, he had a slightly tan skin tone but still pretty pale and usually wore flashy clothes. His character was basically the same personality, so he did well.
“But still! He should lighten up a bit on him.” she countered.
“Why are you defending him so much? Do you l-o-v-e him?” he asked.
“W-What? N-No! It's not like that!” she snaps back while blushing hard.
“Sam, stop lying to us, we know you do. And Jake, stop teasing her like a child would.” I tell them both. I was just a normal guy with no exceptional qualities, I had short brown hair, hazel brown eyes, a slightly olive complexion and I stuck to t-shirts and jeans. My role was a cowardly guy who was on the run from the main cast for detonating several bombs in an underground city, incidentally killing the main cast’s friends and families.
“My, my your bickering is so cute.” Timothy stated as he walked over.
“Not the time, Tim.” I told him.
“Hey, I’m just enjoying myself while you’re still here.” he replied. Tim or Timothy is the kind of person that thinks everyone is beneath his capabilities, he had messy black hair, impossibly vibrant blue eyes, darker olive skin tone, he was very buff, much taller than me and usually wore shorts and t-shirts. His role was the main cast’s muscle, carrying their heavy equipment and taking out large obstacles and watching their back.
“What’s that supposed to mean Tim?” Jake asked him.
“Isn’t that obvious? You’re all going to be removed from the cast, since I am better than all of you, they won’t want my acting marred by simpletons like you three.” he snarkily answered.
“I’m sorry, but who got the lead role again? It certainly wasn’t you, if I remember correctly Patrick got the lead. NOT you.” I countered.
“You take that back!” He snapped at me as he picked me up in the air with one arm.
“Sorry second rate, but I’m not one to back down.” I said.
“S-SECOND RATE?!? You’re going to regret that!” he boomed at me as he tossed me at the wall.
“Security, take those two to my trailer, I will talk with them shortly. Everyone else! Take a break till I return.” The director commanded.
They picked me up and took me to him trailer as the others struggled with Timothy, after a few minutes Timothy and the director entered.
“You two have been causing problems since day one, if we weren’t low on time, I’d have both of you removed from the cast and find new actors. So, instead of that I will give you two ONE last chance to redeem yourselves before you BOTH are out of here.” the director warned.
“Fine, I will try not to instigate a problem.” I replied.
“I won’t break him.” he reluctantly agreed.
“Good, now both of you get ready for the next scene.” the director told us.
We both walk off to get ready for the next scene and after a few more hours we finish for the day.
“I’ll see all of you tomorrow, goodnight everyone. And I hope that Tim will work better with us now... finally.” I told Sam, Jake and Patrick.
“Yeah, and bye.” Sam said.
“See ya on the other side! But I hope so too” jake replied.
“Bye man, see you next time. And I don't think he will.” Patrick responded.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
