Chapter 8
Carla woke up with bliss; she had so much fun yesterday at the after-movie party. She remembered dancing with Sophia who was a great dancer. Sophia was so surprised with the news that Daniel and Carla was a couple that she went to asked Carla; demanding to know whether it was true.
“Yeah, It’s true.” Carla remembered saying. Sophia gave Carla a big sisterly hugged after Carla said that. It was as if in Carla’s happiness lies Sophia’s happiness as well. Carla smiled as she reminisces last night. She looked at the clock on her night table; it was eight o’clock. Carla got out of her bed to go to the bathroom. She had to attend a conference about the movie in two hours time; she had better be ready for it. Carla thanked the heaven silently in her heart for the casualness that is allowed for the conference; she still remembered the hassle she had gone through just for the movie premier yesterday. It was something she did not want to go through ever again.
Carla got out of the bathroom after an hour of soaking herself in the warm water. She felt rejuvenated and fresh however when she looked at her clock, she panic a little. She was going to be really late of she did not get dress soon. Carla quickly slipped on her khaki pants and her shirt. She did nothing to her hair except combed it, with a last bit of putting lip gloss, Carla went out of her suite, rushing.
Just as she was rushing to the lift, Carla’s mother got out of her room.
“Mom, I am so glad I get to see you!” Carla exclaimed as she hugged her mother. Mrs. Garner hugged her daughter back, tightly. Carla let go and looked up at the face that always give her calmness and harmony.
“Go, honey, before jenny screams downstairs and report a missing person case to the police.” Mrs. Garner said, jokingly. Carla slapped her forehead. She forgot about her promised she made to jenny last night. She had promised to meet her at the lobby by nine in the morning. It was already half past nine. Carla rushed down by stairs, luckily her room was situated on the third floor. When, finally, she reached the lobby, she found jenny sitting in one of the sofas in the lobby reading the newspaper.
“Oh my god, Jenny, I am so sorry. I really forgot about this meeting with you.” Carla apologised. She sat on the sofa in front of Jenny’s. Jenny was still reading the newspaper intently, was this a sign that Jenny was, finally angry, with Carla? Jenny had never once scolded Carla for her mistake. She was always an encouraging friend. Carla just sat there, breathing in the awkward air that surrounded Jenny and her. Finally, Jenny looked up.
“You should read this.” Jenny said as she passed the newspaper to Carla. Carla looked at the front page. She could not believe her eyes or the picture that was in the front page. It was the picture of Daniel and herself kissing with Emma Watson picture beside it. If the picture was bad enough, Carla was in for a rough surprise, the headline said; ‘HAS DANIEL LOST HIS MIND?’ Carla did not understand the heading. Lost his mind? What could that possibly mean, Carla thought to herself. After reading the sub headline, comprehension started to dawn her. She held back her tears as she read more, drinking poison about her written in the news paper.
HAS DANIEL LOST HIS MIND?
Daniel Choose an ugly duckling to a swan?
Yesterday was a big day for the cast of ‘Behind The Scene’ , the premier of the movie was a major success. With the line up of fans in front of the theatre even before the movie aired would be more than evidence. ‘Behind The Scene’ is a story worthy to watch by anyone from the young age to anyone who has wrinkles coming out of control. It shows the mature side of Daniel Radcliffe and, yes, he can act other role just as well as he act harry potter. It was also a big day for new comer, Carla Garner, her performance wowed the audience like never before. You can see that she is passionate for acting and that could be the reason why Daniel Radcliffe chose her to be his girlfriend.
That’s true, people. He declared yesterday that Carla garner is his girlfriend. But why did he chose somebody who is nothing compared to Emma Watson? Who is just as passionate about acting and who is much more beautiful.
Carla could not read any longer. She felt her eyes stinging but still she held back the tears that were threatening to come out and pour down her cheeks. She looked at Jenny who was looking at her with a look of disgust and sympathy. Carla wanted to laugh at her expression; how could anyone have both of the expression on their faces at once. Jenny took the paper away from Carla’s hands.
“Well, I think that is all bull. I cannot believe that London times even let that crap get published.”
“It’s true, isn’t it? Emma is prettier than me. I should have known, Jenny. It is the price I have to pay being Daniel’s girl. Now the conference is going to be about why Daniel chose me. I feel sick...” Carla said as she touched her forehead, “am I having a fever?”
“Carla, don’t be ridiculous. You’re going to the conference and you’re not backing out. Don’t be so paranoid; trust in yourself, Daniel likes you. He chose you. He didn’t even chose, Emma was not his girlfriend and she won’t be. You can’t let the rumours get to you; you’ve got to be strong.”
If that was supposed to make Carla feel better, it did not once she was in the conference room. Not only was she bombarded with questions that were so irrelevant to the movie but she was getting paranoid at everything including Daniel. Every time she tried to get Daniel’s eye, he seemed to be avoiding her gaze. Was it true that Daniel has second thoughts? Or was it just her that realized Daniel did not look at her the whole time they were there. Carla was so deep in her thoughts that she did not hear the question that was for her until Mr. Dean nudged her.
“Oh, I am so sorry. What’s your question again?” She asked the reporter who was standing with a pen and notepad in her hands.
“How it feels being able to act in such a major production and being chosen from all the other girls that auditioned?”
“I have to say it feels really amazing. When I came to the open casting in London, there were so many other girls who were dying to get the role. When I found out that I was selected, I was thrilled and surprised at the same time. Now that I have acted in this movie, I can’t wait for the second movie to be film.” Carla finished. Finally, Daniel looked at her and wink. Carla smiled. All hope was not lost, then.
After the conference, the actors were lead out of the room to another room where they were supposed to give a one to one interview. Carla was feeling a little squeamish, she did not want to go through the whole Emma vs. Carla questions; she had enough for the day. She decided to skip the whole one to one interview and was about to walk out of the room when suddenly Daniel took her hands whilst she was walking.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“I can’t stand this, Daniel. All the question about Emma and you. Questions that is irrelevant to the movie, about being your girlfriend. How can you stand that? People asking you why you pick me? The girl who is nothing compared to the great Emma Watson. Not that she’s not nice but still, you know.” Carla said. She hated that she sounded so pitiful but she could not help but feel a little depressed.
“Babe, you can’t let this get to you...”
“Easy for you to say; you’re not in my shoes, Dan. I am like the girl who stole you from Emma Watson by putting some voodoo magic.” Carla said feeling angry. Daniel just did not understand the things she had to go through for just being his girlfriend but before Daniel could retort, Carla’s name was called for the one to one interview. Carla walked away from Daniel, leaving him with his retort stuck inside his brain.
When Carla went in the room, she saw an Asian woman coming up to her to shake her hands. Carla shook her hands but could not put up a smile; she felt frustrated by how everyone was asking her to be strong. Carla sat at the opposite seat, facing the interviewee. The Woman in front of her beamed and looked at her clipboard. Then looked at Carla again.
“Hi, my name is Fiona Xie. I am from Singapore and I would be reporting the interview today with you for the magazine 8 days. So, congratulations on the success of the movie. How do you feel being able to be a part of it?”
“It’s feels really good. I never imagine that it was going to be huge. I mean, some of my friends did tell me the movie was talked about everywhere but I never thought that it was going to be this huge. I cannot put in words of how I feel to be a part of this but one think I am sure is that, I guess, I am lucky to have this experience. Really lucky.”
“Ok. Were you intimidated at all when you knew that Daniel Radcliffe was going to act as your love interest?”
“Of course,” both the reporter and Carla laughed, “it was really a surprised. When I went for the open casting, I really had no idea I am going to act alongside with him. It was not until I saw him in the producer’s office. I almost fainted there and then. It was really a shock.”
The interview went on and on. Carla felt, amazingly, light headed all through that day. Fiona, the reporter, was kind and she only interviewed about the movie. They laughed at some ridiculous moments Carla experienced while filming the movie and talk seriously about the career Carla could see herself in. Finally, the interview came to an end and it was a whole fifteen minutes. Fiona said thanks and shook Carla’s hands as Carla went of the room.
The place was empty except for Jenny who was sitting in the corner, reading a magazine. Carla went to her and tapped her shoulder. Jenny looked up from the magazine.
“So how was it?” Jenny asked as she pick up her bag and walked out of the room with carla tagging along.
“It was fine. The reporter was nice. Nothing about Daniel and me, at least. I think this whole relationship with him is not going on well. I just vent my frustration on him before i went in that interview.” Carla said glumly. She recalled the look on daniel’s face when he could not say what he was thinking. Would Daniel forgive her for that hurtful words she just spat at him? Carla exhaled loudly as they reached the lift.
“Don’t be too harsh on yourself. What relationship has no problems in it? It’s just a little misunderstanding. I am sure the both of you could work it out.” Jenny said. The lift door opened and the both of them went in. Carla was silently praying with all her might that Jenny was right.
