"Congratulations Miss Carlin, this is a call to inform you that you got the roll for ‘It’s Called Acting.’  If you can no longer take part in the movie, please inform us within 48 hours.  Congratulations once again."

I had the same smile gracing my face that had been gracing it since the first time I heard the message, even though this was like the millionth time I had heard it. 

"Stop playing that message!"

I turned the volume up on the message machine and played it again.

"Assho’."

I laughed and didn’t play it any more for Alyssa’s sake.  I didn’t delete it though.

I made my way into my room and threw on the outfit I had spent so many hours picking out yesterday, before I grabbed my bus pass, wallet, phone, and keys.  I double checked and triple checked myself and was about to quadruple check myself when Alyssa started making fun of me from my door way.

I blushed and made a lame come back before making a quick exit out of the apartment and to the bus stop.

As I sat waiting, I couldn’t stop my legs from bouncing up and down with nervousness.  Not even the glares I received could stop it.  It continued on the bus and only stopped when I was standing.  When I was standing, I instead had my fingers tapping against my sides. 

I was only still when I finally arrived at my destination.  We were going to going over lines in here, all of us, extras and stars both.  Although, we probably wouldn’t actually be running them together.

The way I was acting, it would seem that this was my first role, but it was far from it.  I’d had several ‘extra’ roles before, but this one was different.  This movie was going to be big and my part was my biggest ‘extra’ part yet.  I already knew that I was an extra in a scene that would actually have an actual star of the movie in it as well.  Even though one of the other actors had told me it had already been decided that that scene would be deleted, it still made me nervous.

"Are you ok?"

I turned to the girl who had asked me.  She was my height and Asian with black hair to her shoulders, "Um… yeah, just nervous."
