Everyone's Favorite Actress

*Eve's POV*

Run Run Run...

Until no one could see me crying and quivering. I was on the verge of losing everything that I worked so hard for. I was hungry after running so much. I didn't even know that it was raining, not until I felt hungry and tired.

As I was looking for food stations, "The best beef stake" I saw a sign, and it made me feel hungrier. I crossed the street and opened the door to that restaurant and everyone seemed to give me the way not because I'd be eating but because I'm wet.

I chose the seat where I could make space for everyone so that they won't get wet and because I was being considerate.

Suddenly, a waiter came to me, he didn't give me the menu, instead, he gave me a towel saying

"You must have been cold. Why did you wet yourself just to go to the city's best beef stake?"

He then smiled at me and didn't wait for my reply.

I dried off my hair using the towel he gave me and as I dried up, I asked for him, making a hand gesture.

"Are you dry now?" He asked.

"Can you give me the best beef stake?" I said.

"For free?" He asked while smiling and raising his left brow.

"Of course not. Do I look like a poor to you?" I said, now annoyed.

But instead of fighting back, he laughed at me and went to the kitchen, leaving me with a wink and frustration.

He came back a few minutes later, serving me my beef stake.

"Here's your beef stake, Miss Annoyed."

He looked at me and still smiled, and that made me more annoyed, but I didn't reply.

I rushed to eat what was on my plate because hunger kills me.

"It seems like you're starving."

I haven't noticed that he was still standing beside me because I was busy eating and got no time to look elsewhere but at my plate.

"I'll leave you now, if you want anything you can call me Rick."

He saw my gaze! And that made him laugh! How frustrating, I just want to eat! I controlled myself not to act up because I'm still tired, but then another man came to me.

"Hey, I'm a manager and I have noticed that you have a very appealing aura and I think that you would suit well as an artist."

*Awkward moment of silence*

"This is my business card and if you're interested, you can call me."

I didn't care how long he spoke to me, I won't answer because I'm busy eating, but I listened.

When he got no reply from me, he gestured himself to go and finish his business with the other people he was with.

As soon as I finished eating, the rain also stopped a couple of minutes ago, imagine how grateful I am.

I paid quickly at the counter, "Hey! Wait!" and ran my way out even though the waiter has been calling me to wait.

As I reached home, I washed in the shower, so I won't get sick because I was soaked earlier, and I'm feeling a little hot and decided to leave myself for a couple of minutes in the tub.

"Eve, are you here? Why are you so late? It's already 10 pm Eve you're just a teenager, how could you be so late at that age?" Yes, that's mom.

She's very protective, and I know she won't stop knocking unless I open the door (still naked) and so did I.

"Mom, I just got lots of things to do at school, that's why." Making myself sound sincere like I am not going through something.

" I don't believe in you Eve, there must be something going on that you came so late!" She's mad. So mad that she won't buy my acting.

I am close to crying, but I won't tell her what happened because I don't want to worry her, and I'm just very secretive. So I let out a heavy sigh and,

"Mom please I'm so tired today. Even talking makes me feel sleepy like I would pass out any minute. Please understand me, mom, just for now."

Looking like she's mad, convinced, and sorry toward me. I look like pity in front of her and I know she could see it like I am close to losing my patience.

"Okay, let's talk tomorrow."

Finally.

She bought my act. I don't get guilty about my acts and this is the side of me that no one knows, not even my mom.

I do manipulate people. And I consider myself someone dangerous when it comes to persuading and making people believe me in whatever I say.

I quickly finished taking a bath because it only got interrupted by my mom.

As I dry myself up I remember the manager who asked me to be an actress and I looked for his business card in my uniform.

"Oh, it's legit," I said.

That's when I think of being a celebrity.

I thought about the disadvantages and advantages. Being an actress would suit my personality and beauty, I have everything, and I have talents.

I'm good at singing you know? lol, but I mean it!

I also thought of how devastating my life is now. And so I called him and that's when I decided to be everyone's favorite actress.

*FLASHBACK*

Everyone in the school loves me because of my lively personality and I am the so-called nature goddess because of the vibe I give off whenever I'm around.

They always say that I am very kind and thoughtful to everyone. Even my teachers love me because of my positivity and attentiveness.

They always offer me food and gifts, and even some coffee shops that I go to offer me jobs so that their business will raise.

I liked it.

I loved how people like me and I'm fond of feeling it.

Sometimes I think that I won't be able to correct something if I make a mistake that's why I am always careful about what I am doing.

I do everything to look good in their eyes.

I always think of my dignity and my reputation, if something happens I always say sorry even though it is not my fault because,

I believe that those who are rude are the firsts to be doubted by people.
