Rising Actress

Right now, I have to focus on how I'll respond to the questions that the interviewer might ask

As I continued pondering about my answers to thought up questions, I didn't notice that the car stopped moving. The door opened, Mr. Kim bowed as he waited for me to step out. Mr. Kim is my personal driver. "Thank you."

I sighed as I walked towards the (l/n) doors. "I'm home.." I muttered under my breath. Servants began to quickly open the door for me. I quietly thanked them, and stepped in. Soon, a woman wearing a tight navy blue dress came striding over.

"(Y/n)! Where were you? I was worried you'd be late! Come on, you have 30 minutes to get out of that ugly casual wear and into this beautiful, new dress I bought you! Hurry up now!" My mother said frantically. Quietly sighing, I took the dress and went to my room.

"Miss, please allow us to dress you." 2 servants came in to my room, bowing. "It's alright, I can do it myself." I smiled. "Are you sure, Young madam?" They asked. "Yes, it's fine." I said. They left and I began to undress myself.

I slipped on the dress and looked at myself in the mirror. This isn't me.. I thought to myself. A knock came on the door, "Lady (y/n), are you finished dressing? Madame asked us to do your makeup and hair." They said. "Yes, come in." I answered.

I sat down and the maids began to apply small layers of makeup on me. When I opened my eyes, my hair was curled and my skin looked clearer. Mother prefers I wear a natural look, so that everyone thinks I'm just a natural beauty.

I walked back to the front doors of my house. The servants sure are quick at makeup and hair styling. Soon, my mother came back and she walked to my side. "Back straight and head up, (y/n)!" She yelled. I straightened my posture. "Good girl. Now smile, and maintain your posture during the entire interview." Mother said, with a sort of threatening look.

"..yes..mother.." I said. "What was that?" She asked. "..yes, mother.." I repeated. "That isn't how you answer your elders now, is it?" She said. "Yes, mother." I repeated more firmly. "There you go!" She clapped her hands. We made our way to the car.

And now, the fake 'happy' family act starts once again..

>>>>>

Two guards greeted us as we made our way into the studio. "And here we have our special guests this afternoon! Please welcome, Mrs. (l/n) and her daughter,

(y/n) (l/n)!" The hostess smiled. The audience clapped as my mother and I made our way onstage.

"It's an honour to have such a successful woman like you enter our building." The hostess smiled. "It's nothing, really." My mother laughed. I smiled and then shifted back to a neutral smile.

And so, the interview continued. "Say, Miss (y/n), I heard you'll be starring in that new movie. Your mother has told us of how big a passion you've always had for acting. This is your first step into the acting industry, how does it feel?" The hostess turned her attention to you. "Yes, I've always loved acting! When I heard they wanted me to star for Whisper of Midnight, I was elated! I hope I will do well in the acting industry." I answered with a grin.

"Optimistic like your mother, well, I'm sure you'll do just fine! I mean, look at the rest of your family. Everyone so successful!" The hostess smiled. Mother, optimistic? Pft, don't make me laugh.

Finally finished with that dreadful interview. I sat in my room lying on my bed, I was scrolling through reddit. Suddenly, my phone beeped.

I am officially done with you 😑

Emo Kuudere

Great.

I wonder who gave him a gift.. it was always only me giving him a gift on his birthday, because Neo didn't put any effort into socializing at school and he doesn't exactly have a good relationship with the rest of his family. Maybe he made a new friend?😀

I hope he did🙂, then I won't have to worry about him if I do end up leaving..

~~~~~~~~

I went to my bathroom that was connected to my bedroom. I started to shower. The cold water trickled down my body, sigh..

I got out and wrapped the towel around me. I brushed my teeth, and began to stare at myself in the mirror. I grinned, ew that face makes me look like an idiot. I tried a simpler smile, Eh..this smile is okay I guess..

I then opened the cabinet on the mirror and grabbed my pills. I ate the pills and drank some water that I kept in a water bottle in the cabinet as well.

Then my eyes landed on my arm. Just under the top of my arm, there were 7 scars lined up in a row. (Not in the armpit😑)

Where'd I get these scars? Myself. Yes, I'm self-harming.

There were some days that I just got so fed up with mother, my life, school, and just everything. Usually mother. So every time that I just couldn't take it, and was at the point of erupting, I'd add a cut to my arm. I placed it under the top of my arm, so that people wouldn't notice.

I told myself, if I make 10 cuts, I'll run away. I called these cuts, "strikes"

I went back into my room, and changed into pajamas. I lay in my bed. Soon, a beep came from my alarm clock. That's the 12 AM beep.. Everyone's asleep right now.

I quietly creeped out my room, there are still guards though. I went to the kitchen and grabbed chips. Silently sprinting back to my room, I consumed the chips. Mom rarely allowed me to eat junk food because "actresses shouldn't be fat" ugh, I know.

I finished the bag and scrolled through my phone.

I sighed as I read this article. "So much pressure.." I mumbled. Soon I had fallen asleep.

My eyes opened, "..What time is it?.." I muttered. I looked at my phone, 12:27.. I OVERSLEPT. I quickly got up, ...Wait..why is it so dark?..

I went to my window and there I saw it. A solar eclipse.
