BELIEVE THE HYPE

"Come on, powder puff, in what universe does a girl like me go out with a jock like Tommy?"

Kady and Amelie were sitting across from each other at the tiny IKEA table in Amelie's trailer

on Thursday afternoon, scripts laid out in front of them.

Kady had come asking for Amelie's help because Gary, the nervous new director--the

producers had fired Dirk Wink and hired Gary, the AD--had pulled her aside to say he

expected her to nail her scenes tomorrow. They'd done fourteen takes of Kady and DeAndra's

confrontational, alpha-versus-beta scene, and Gary still wasn't satisfied, so they were

reshooting the whole thing.

Amelie had been grateful for the unexpected company, even if it was Kady's first offer to hang

out in days. She could use the distraction. She'd spent the last hour on the couch with today's

Hollywood Reporter, staring at Hunter's head shot. He'd been signed for a part in the next Iron

Man movie, as the hero's illegitimate son, and had been busy dealing with contract negotiations.

He'd hardly been on set, and even when he had, he and Amelie had barely spoken. She was

starting to feel like Class Angel all the time: completely invisible.

"True love should be surprising, Lizzie."

Amelie knew she wasn't exactly putting her heart into Class Angel's pep talk. Here she was,

doling out sage advice about true love when she couldn't even get her true love to talk to her.

"But me with Tommy is almost sacrilege," Kady overemoted, throwing her hands up as she

read it. "I'll never have any street cred in the art world wearing a letterman's jacket."

Kady flipped the pages closed. "Forget it." She sighed. "I'm as good as I'm going to be." She

pushed her red plastic chair away from the table and padded into the trailer's tiny bedroom.

"Your trailer's nicer than mine," Kady said, her throaty tomboy voice echoing in the smallish

space. "It pays to be Fairy Princess, huh?" Kady examined a pair of tiger lily orange Austrian

crystal chandelier earrings. All of the pristine white Class Angel outfits were strewn across the

generic-looking beige bedspread. Kady had also unearthed a selection of sparkly tops the

wardrobe people had assembled for Amelie to wear during cast interviews for the DVD extras.

"Not that I mind, but what are you doing?" Amelie asked. She leaned against the doorjamb,

genuinely curious.

"Picking out an outfit for your clubbing debut, happening--dun dah dah--tonight!" Kady

swung a nearly sheer black Chelsea Flower embroidered top with a low-cut neckline in front of

Amelie's face.

Seeing Amelie's grimace, Kady held the top up in front of her. "Don't argue, you're coming out

with us tonight. You can say no Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but I'm insisting on Thursday.

It's the best night of the week. And you don't have to be here tomorrow. Just DeAndra and I,

doing that same scene over and over until we die." It was true--Amelie didn't have to report to

the set tomorrow. Kady and DeAndra did, however, as did fifty members of the crew who'd

been supposed to have the day off, to finally get their scene to Gary's liking.

Amelie turned to face her mirror.
