The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors
Feeling more than slightly claustrophobic as she squeezed her way through the lines and clusters of people waiting to get inside to see the advance screening of the most anticipated action film of the year, Tamia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw saw a brunnete with streaks and an ebony haired girl. She approached the two with a wave, earning a smile from them.
Trying her best to ignore the clamour and bustle of the crowd, Tamia leaned in, focusing her attention On Tatiana and Renee, letting them finish the end of their conversation before butting in. Her two best friends since grade school, they were waiting for her, the brunette holding three passes. As an intern for a local news agency, Renee had the opportunity to see movies in advance. After all, the press was good for word of mouth, and free passes to advance screenings were within her grasp. She handed her friends the passes, Tamia holding hers in awe.
"Should be fun huh? We get to see this a month before its release!" Renee chimed in excitement, flinging her arms over Tatiana and Tamia's shoulders.
"Thanks for inviting us!" Tamia said for what had to be the eigth time since being told she was getting a pass.
"No problems! More publicity for the movie."
Tatiana nodded, withdrawing a water bottle from her purse.
Setting
0.00 INK
Tyler groaned at the mention of his now ex girlfriend Hannah, they had been together for years and where the IT couple of hollywood until Tyler finally realized what an unhealthy relationship the two had and broke it off. THat was about 3 months ago and they hadn't spoke since. Tyler grabbed his comb from the counter and slicked his hair back and brushed his teeth before finally grabbing the tux from his closet. Finally he was ready to go he grabbed his Iphone and called his driver to pick him up.
He walked down the back hallway of the hotel and through a wave of screaming fans as his body guards kept them off of him. HE climmbed into the limo and drove to the theater where he would not only be viewing the film but he would be sigining autographs before the film started. As he walked into the back entrance of the theater he saw the booth he would be at sigining autographs and took a seat and waited for the fans to be let in.
The various conversations going on throughout the crowd trailed off as the venue doors opened, letting the anxiously awaiting fans and press who had such an opportunity inside at last. Excitement mounting, Tamia and her companions shuffled forward as soon as the line allowed, the chocolate haired girl letting out a slight squeek at feeling someone shove into her from behind, eager to urge people faster. Well, that was rude! They were all going to get in. She didn't complain though, holding up her pass after Tatiana and Renee passed through.
"Where you going Tamia? Autographs first, remember?" Tatiana inquired with a gentle, albeit amused smile.
Tamia paused, a sheepish smile and embarassed blush on her cheeks as she was reminded the show would begin after a complimentary autograph session.
Renee giggled, tugging her two less boistrous buddies towards the quickly growing line.
Tamia followed the two, appraising them with a smile. Tatiana, an ebony haired young woman who she viewed as a perfect role model and ideal human being. Smart, patient, dedicated and likable.
Then there was Renee; a boistrous, outspoken, but no less decent girl who had an mischevious side.
Then there was her. The 'little mouse' who grew up without a want. The less-than-sure of herself college girl who had high dreams but a passive demeanor.
Tonight, Tamia was acting more like a normal girl her age, going out with friends at night just to have fun and gab over a movie.
"So, who is here for autographs?" Tamia asked Renee, earning a startled look from the teal-streaked brunnete.
"Eh? Didn't you know? It's Tyler Williams! Why'd you think it was so packed tonight?" she answered her friend.
"I'm great Marty I'm at the theater waiting for the event to start so I can watch myself on the big screen, so about that comedy?" Tyler asked.
"Well Judd Apatow emailed me and told me he would no longer be working on this project, so the new director is some up and coming director named Joesph Hamlin and he changed shooting location from here in New York to down there in L.A" Marty said
"GReat thats another week from home...well what used to be home" he said thinking back to the apartment both him and Hannah had shared when they lived in New York. He shook hid head snapping out of it "look marty I'll call you back after the premiere and as far as Hannah goes I don't want to talk about it" he said and hung up the phone and slammed it down on the table. He took a deep breath to calm himself and looked at the theater manager "I'm ready whenever you guys are" he said and stared out at the crowd of fans.
Some asked for acting tips, saying they were pursuing a drama career. Some asked for a personalized autograph for a friend who couldn't make it. Some asked for an opinion on a previous work. Still others inquired about how he thought the current show was going to be recieved. The list went on, and it was only due to the bodyguard and theatre manager that people moved on. A good majority of the line had to be reminded there were others waiting, and the show would start as soon as everyone was inside. The only ones allowed to linger and ask a few more questions were those clearly identified as members of the press. However, most of their questions would be saved for later, or a question and answer panel being held at a later point. The press would have more access, and in the meantime, they could always go to the producers and interview them as well.
Tamia and her friends patiently shuffled forward in the line, waiting their turn and occassionally standing on tip toes or craning their necks to see how it was progressing. At one point, Renee snapped briefly at someone for shoving, nearly getting them asked to leave. Thankfully, Tatiana and Tamia worked as a peace keeping tag team and calmed Renee back down and apologized to the attendant.
"I'm ok, I'm ok." Renee said, earning a relieved sigh from Tamia.
The line continued, and by now they were close enough to hear some eager fans talking to Tyler in excitement.
"I love all of your work! It's really awesome what you do, ya know? Really cool, can't wait to see you on the screen tonight. What do you use for your hair? You look so fabulous!" gushed a girl in hot pink and what honestly looked like full on sparkles from a jar of confetti as the embellishments.
"next in line please" He shouted over the large waves of fans he continued to sign more autographs allowing his mind to wander, he thought about this film he would be doing and thought about taking a break from acting and just taking some time for himself and stay with his mom and dad for a couple weeks to unwind. Tyler again shook his head snapping out of his day dreaming as he saw the huge crowd narrowing down to its last few people when he saw three girls that were standing and chatting together and he looked towards them and said "next please"
The line continued, until finally the trio were ushered forward.
"One poster for each of us please." Tatiana said, the black haired girl looking amused and sympathetic. "Long night for you I imagine." she said simply.
"Can't wait to see the movie!" Renee said, looking excited as she all but bounced around. It was then that she glanced about in confusion. She didn't see her socially akward friend behind her anymore. "The hell!? Did we seriously lose Ta-"
"Sorry, had to fix my shoelace." Tamia answered the question for her, straightening up with a smile.
Tatiana giggled, thanking Tyler as she accepted the poster with his autograph. Renee fistpumped the air. The two couldn't help but whisper excitedly to each other, not screaming fangirls, but obviously relishing that they got to meet the actor. "So cool! Told you this was gonna be awesome!" Renee commented, earning a nod of agreement.
Tamia glanced up, and simply looked at the actor. He had really nice hair, and gorgeous green eyes. He was certainly pleasing to the eyes. She could appreciate why girls gushed over him as far as appearances went. And as an actor, he was definately skilled and worth attention. It was amazing to her she was even seeing him for real. Suddenly feeling self conscious and akward, Tamia made her tentative request.
"J-Just a poster please. Then I'll get out of your hair." Tamia said, still managing a soft, cheerful smile.
He watched the last girl walk up to him and he smiled at her "a poster?" he said as he grabbed one from the poster stack it had the words of the movie run across the top of poster, with a wall exploding open and himself standing there holding a a hand gun with a serious look on his face. "who should I make this out too?" he asked. He could tell she was witht the girls that he had just given autographs too. She had a pair of glasses on and chocolate brown hair it was funny because he always had a thing for brunettes. She had a kind of nerdy look about her but it didn't make her unattractive.
Tyler wrote his name out on the poster and waited for the girl to answer.
"M-my name?" she all but squeeked, blinking in surprise and averting her gaze for a second in a sudden burst of shyness. Looking back up at Tyler, the young woman answered him, hoping she hadn't spaced out. "Tamia...my name is Tamia." she said softly, watching the young actor. He seemed nice, polite as well. He didn't give off an intimidating or unwelcome attitude, so it was no wonder his fans were drawn to him. She smiled, glad her frinds had talked her into coming. "Thank you for the autograph." she said, realizing she hadn't properly thanked him. It's not like he had to give his fans anything.
Tyler noticed that Tamia was the last person in line and looked at her and her friends who were waiting for her. "do you have any questions for me ladies" he said. "you guys are last in line so since the movie won't start till you guys get seated I could answer any questions you guys had for me" he said kindly.
"What's the best part about acting professionally?" asked Renee, taking advantage of the offer, true interview and reporter style.
Tatiana waited for her more rowdy friend before asking her own questions. "What's the biggest challenge of acting in movies? Did you start by stage acting?"
Only Tamia reigned in her questions. The movie wouldn't start until they were all seated? Well surely the other fans wanted to see the movie and she could imagine they didn't want to wait for some nosey girls. Not that she thought her frinds were nosey, but if they all got caught up in asking questions and sating their curiousity, they'd be there a while.
"T-thank you sir. As tempting as the offer is, I'm sure everyone is eager to see the movie. It would be rude to keep them waiting." she reasoned, smiling at him as she spoke. She did however look as curious, if not more so, than her friends.
"Probably a good idea to keep it to the one question each. Good call Tamia." The ebony haired Tatiana agreed.
Tyler smiled as he thought about life back home, his mom cooking dinner, his dad sitting in his chair a pipe between his teeth as the football game would echo through the room, and his little sister laying on the floor coloring, or playing on her ipad. Tyler looked at the two girls who hadn't asked him a question yet. "alright one question each for you two" he said looking at Tamia and her friend.
