Until Kyle came by and ruined it. He's got this smirk and
this "I told you so" attitude. He actually said that to one of the
tech guys, when I finished my shot and could finally walk off. Something like, "Told
you she'd do it." Yeah, like the big jerk knows anything about me? I fell
into that whole stupid trick of Alyssa's, where she keeps referring to us by
our character names. A couple times I really felt like we really were Jess and
Bridger, teaming up against the bozos running the colony and threatening to
destroy an important valley area with this power plant. Like we could
understand each other. Then Kyle does something stupid like burping and ruining
the shot. Or shaking up cans of beer to make like champagne, to celebrate with
the stunt guys when a scene goes right. I am definitely not going to sit around
and watch the other people filming their scenes if I'm not going to be in them.
Nope, gonna use homework as an excuse to hide in my trailer.
Sometimes it's really hard to pretend Kyle is Bridger
when we're doing our scenes. And then there are times I turn around and catch
him watching me and I just get this weird shiver all over. Not like the
scum-bums in our class who think anything in skirts is fair game, and if you're
not one of the popular girls then you should be grateful for attention from
them. You know? Why does he watch me like that all the time?
Mom is waking up. I better get off. Another day of
filming ahead of me. We're going to be in the water most of the day, either
swimming up to the power plant intake, or getting pulled downstream when the
dam blows up. Fun, fun, fun. Maybe I can talk Mike into changing the big heroic
scene, where Jess steals Bridger's coat and makes colony security think she's
him, and they shoot her, letting Bridger get away. Either talk them into
killing Jess or capturing Bridger and letting the aliens-disguised-as-animals
break him out. What do you think?
