CHAPTER 13

When Joseph and I got to school on Tuesday morning, I had already told him everything that had happened on set about a million times. He was amusingly excited to hear about Ryan and Benjamin and how nice and quirky they were, but he didn’t really do much to hide his dislike of Lukas when I told him about our scenes. I ignored his less-than-enthusiastic response to my favorite part of the story and decided to just focus on the rest of my experience, knowing I could at least count on Xani to be excited about Lukas.

“Were your costumes really that bad, or were you just overreacting?” Joseph asked as we walked through the quiet, dark school to zero period theatre. “Because I could see how the fact that you’re brought up to be modest might make a ‘normal’ outfit seem uncomfortably immodest.”

“Well, my pajama shorts went up to here,” I said, indicating a place on my leg I didn’t even realize it was possible for shorts to end. “And my dress pushed me up so much that I practically had cleavage up to my neck,” I said the second part a bit too loudly.

“Whoa, June. There are some things I really don’t need to know,” he said, bringing his hands up as if to wash them clean of my misfortune, smirking all the while.

“Yeah, you can go ahead and joke about it now, but when you see just how terrible the costumes really were, you’ll be on my side.”

“Well, maybe by the time you go back for your scenes on Thursday they’ll realize the error of their ways,” Joseph suggested doubtfully.

“Actually, you’ll be very proud to know that I spoke with the costume designer and he agreed to make me more modest costumes from now on,” I informed him, beaming at my own personal triumph.

“Wait a minute, let me get this straight," Joseph said. "You—June Laurie—stood up for yourself?”

“Amazing, isn’t it?” I asked. “He even changed my awful pajamas so they weren’t all that bad.”

“I’m impressed,” Joseph said sincerely, giving me a quick squeeze as we walked.

The immodest costumes wouldn’t have been such a big deal to me normally. I mean, I am an actor and I’ve worn tank tops or short-ish shorts in a lot of the school plays, and they never really bothered me. I think the reason this situation felt different was because they were obviously trying to make my character sexy, rather than someone who just happened to wear those kinds of clothes. I definitely didn’t feel comfortable being portrayed as "sexy" June. On my most sexy day I was prettily awkward at best.

The second we sat down in the auditorium to wait for Mr. Carroll to start teaching, Xani was flanking me, asking endless questions about Lukas Leighton.

“June doesn’t really enjoy talking about Lukas Leighton, so you may be hard-pressed to get any information out of her,” Joseph said sarcastically. Xani and I responded by rolling our eyes in unison.

“Did you kiss him?
