Chapter 1: Amy
I knewit Forget getting up and stretching today, I was going to get as much sleep as possible Besides, this was likely the most comfortable hotel bed I had ever been in
It was the last day of sureed to perfor sure that Shannon would release me from my contract a week before the school term started
I hated being away from Liam, and my father I hadn’t been this far away from Liam since wein ave me a sad smile, and kissed me on the forehead
“That’s the life of a professional actor, Amy”
Of course, he was right, and I couldn’t always be co home to comfort
And the part that I didn’t adht Even with two lines, I knew that I would never be able to just stop acting This hat I was rateful to Lia me the chance to do so I wouldn’t trade the experience for all the world
Of course, dating the heades We wouldn’t be able to be as open with our relationship at school as hen ere away, in a foreign city, sitting in a little café ly eyes at each other Not that everyone didn’t know by now, since Liam had made the announcement on the staircase the day Porsche died He announced he loved me, and ever since, people had stared at us in the hallways We didn’t walk down the halls holding hands, and I didn’t sit in his lap during class, or even kiss his cheek in public Privacy was beco deal for me We were only free ere in cities where no one knew my name
Dating the head a va up to a cold bed He would return just before dawn, and hishis transfor Porsche, a Shield, to keep hiht And every , we dealt with it
On roaned, finally cracking openat the time It was 11 aet aith this when the school year started Still, the effort of answering the phone seeot to it, and I cursed, sitting up and grabbing it
You have 1 missed call
I was about to open up the call log, but while ain
“Hello?” I put it toto check the caller ID
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
I pulled the phone away fro at the caller ID in confusion
“Sarah? What’s the matter? Are you ok?”
Sarah was probably my best friend in the whole world We had never e foru She lived across the ocean from me, so ere separated by thousands of miles and a 6 hour time difference She never called me before at least 3 pm my time Her scream had made my heart rate rise If I wasn’t awake before, I was certainly awake now
“I GOT IN!!!!!” Her voice was so high pitched and excited, I could barely understand her
“What?”
“I got in! To Leopard Academy! Someone fro, A! Oh my GOD!”
I couldn’t contain s underneath raram I was in since last year should have been h school--hadn’t really been active for many years But since I had been horade lower Instead, I opted to try the graduate studies program that hadn’t really been active for five years Liareed and let me pick my own independent study focus I knew the adraduates, and I knew Sarah had applied
“That’s a to meet!”
“The letter was postto coet in trouble for replying so late?”
“Nah” I shrugged, throwing aside the covers and getting up “If you do, will you allow ood word for you?”
“YES!” She giggled with excitement “Oh my God, I can’t believe it!”
“I knew you’d get in,” I said, as I padded to the bathrooet my toothbrush “You’re just about the most talented and beautiful person I know We don’t have anyone who looks like you”
Sarah was exotic, the product of exoticeach other to produce stunning children She kept her hair dark and short, with spikes everywhere, and s in her face But underneath all that dark eye makeup and heavy mascara, she was a knock out So far, it had worked well for her in her hos that required specialty looks But co for her career
“Are you packing and booking a plane right this second?” I asked, turning on the tap “Because I cannot wait to see you”
She laughed “I’m way ahead of you I found the letter under a pile of junk ht Centre to book I wanted to call you right away, but I reht How does it feel to have a full theater show under your belt?”
