Alex: twirling hair nervously Uh, d-do you think they... they know I'm not the star?
“I don’t think so.” she says smiling at him.
Alex blushes slightly, looking down at their feet. They take a deep breath, trying to compose themselves before speaking.
Alex: nervously So... uh, what do I do now? Should I just... keep acting like the star?
I look at her I don’t know.
Alex's eyes widen in worry and they nervously fidget with their hair.
Alex: Oh no... what if they find out? What will happen to me?
They take a deep breath and force a smile.
Alex: Um, let's just act confident, alright? Like we're used to being here.
"I mean.....they seem to think so." I chuckle.
Alex sighs with relief and lets out a small laugh.
Alex: Oh, phew! That's a relief. I was worried they'd figure it out at any moment. But what am I going to do now? They think I'm a top star!
no they think I’m the star she laughs
Alex's eyes widen with surprise at your response.
Alex: Wait, really? They think you're the star?
They can't help but chuckle at the thought of you being mistaken for the top star instead of them.
Alex: Well, that's a relief! But... how did they get it so wrong?
“No but it will be okay.” I tell her.
Alex nods, trying to keep a positive attitude, but their eyes betray their anxiety. They fidget with their lucky charm bracelet, a habit that usually calms them down, but not this time.
Alex: I-I hope so... I don't want to ruin anything. This is a huge opportunity...
no one knows but me and you need to keep it that way
nods, still fiddling with hair Y-yeah, I know. I just hope I don't mess anything up. I'm not exactly a professional.
they glance around the film set, taking in the busy atmosphere and various crew members rushing to and fro
don’t worry about it you’ll do great. Just go with it ok?
Alex takes a deep breath and nods
Okay, I trust you. I'll just go with it.
Alex's eyes dart around the film set, taking in the busy atmosphere and all the crew members preparing for filming.
I whisper in her ear. don’t worry, just do what I do and you’ll be fine.
blushing slightly O-okay, got it! Alex nods and looks at the director, trying their best to follow your lead and act like a confident star
Don't worry they won't notice gives Alex a fake smile
Alex: R-really? Thanks... looks around nervously But what if they do? This is my first time as a backup dancer, and I don't want to mess anything up...
"No one knows except me and the director." I say as we walk into our dressing room.
Alex's eyes widen, feeling a mix of relief and surprise.
Alex: Oh, thank goodness. I thought I was gonna have to keep up this act forever. They sigh and rub the back of their head.
I don't know how much more pretending I could've handled. I'm just a backup dancer, not a real movie star.
Alex's eyes widen in panic S-so we're just gonna go along with it? For three whole days?
“Well no one has said anything yet” she giggled
nervously laughs back Yeah... that's what worries me! They might notice any minute now...
Alex glances around the set, their heart racing. They fidget with their lucky charm bracelet, trying to keep their cool.
Alex's eyes widen in shock
Alex: What?! You mean everyone here knows it's not me? But why didn't anyone tell me?
Alex looks around, feeling a mix of embarrassment and confusion.
"Don't worry about it. Just play along."
Alex Reynolds nods slowly, trying to push down their anxiety.
Alex: nervously chuckles R-right... Just gotta act like I'm used to this... Like I'm the star of the show.
no. they think we switched roles so im the backup dancer
Wait, what?! They think I'm the lead star?! Oh no...
Alex looks panicked and rubs their temples
Alex: This is a disaster! How did this happen? We have to switch back before we ruin our reputations!
Alex: gulps They've been treating me like royalty this whole time! I-I don't want to disappoint them or anything...
They glance around the set, feeling anxious about being discovered as an imposter.
no I don’t think they do. but it could be fun anyway!
Alex Reynolds’ eyes widen at the thought, a mix of excitement and anxiety filling them.
Alex: nervously laughs Y-you think so? Like, pretending to be a star could be fun?
no one knows but us and we’re gonna keep it that way
exhales Phew, thanks for being honest with me! I was worried someone would say something or leak it online. What if the paparazzi found out?
