บท 62: I HAVE ARRIVED AT THE PLACE WHERE THE FILM WILL BE FILMED

— Amaranta took the university entrance exam without any problems, she was taken by Izan Marsans. They said goodbye right there, because Izan received a call from David Scott, telling him to return immediately to the military base.

— Amaranta took the exam with total calm, while she watched as Cari entered and left the classroom, as she had predicted, that wilful girl had caused a stomach infection difficulty.

— Once all the students from the Deifont Institute finished, they met again in the same place where they had arrived the day before, to prepare to return home.

— They began to cry, laugh and joke, remembering the good, the bad and other things experienced during the time they were classmates; "Amaranta, if it's true that you made a movie, then give me two signatures in my notebook of memories, so when I don't have money maybe you'll be famous and sell them hahaha" a boy commented jokingly.

—"Amaranta, I will be your special guest at the premiere, promise me yes," her friend Carlos asked her.

— Professor Rodriguez called Amaranta to tell her about the arrangements they had made at school for when she finished recording the film and it came out. "Amaranta, at the Institute they have made arrangements so that when your film is ready they will send us a big poster and put it outside, you will be the first actress to come out of our small town; Not to mention that we have every hope that they will be among the top five in the university entrance exam."

— Thank you, Professor Rodriguez, for believing in me and for all your support.

— After this, they left to return to their city…

*** Already in their town of Deifont ***

— Amaranta was already at home chatting with Grandma Mary" Grandma, tomorrow I will go out with Eleonora to where the movie is being filmed, I don't want to leave you alone, do you really not want to come with us?" Amaranta asked.

—"No Amaranta, I don't want to be a burden and a cause of concern for you, at the filming location, I'd rather stay here and go and check the house and see how the work is going, so I can see that it doesn't take longer than agreed for them to give us our yard." Grandma Mary responded.

—"Okay, Grandma, then take care of yourself and don't disobey what the caretaker tells you, I'll be calling you as often as possible, and Don't worry about me, because Eleonora will be by my side. My godmother will also be with me, she won't let anything happen to me." Amaranta promised her grandmother.

— The next morning, a car that Philip Thompson had sent to pick them up arrived to take them to the locations where they were filming the movie…

*** Filming location ***

— Amaranta arrived at the filming set and was greeted by Johanna Sáenz. "Little Amaranta, you've grown even more!" Johanna commented.

—"Mum, I'm done with the college entrance exams." He was very relaxed after the college entrance exams. Johanna smiled and asked, "How was it? Do you trust the results?"

—"It was fine. I'm going to pass the science exam," Amaranta said confidently.

— Johanna gave Amaranta a thumbs up. "You don't even have much time to relax a little after the college entrance exams. Oh, right, let me introduce you to Rocio Andrade." Johanna motioned to the woman in the corner. "She's an acting instructor from the Film Academy. I hired her for you."

— Rocio Andrade looked at Johanna Sáenz and was surprised. "Johanna, you've hidden this well from me." Rocio was an examiner when Amaranta auditioned at the Capital Film Academy.

—"Amaranta, why didn't you come for the second screening?"

Rocio Andrade felt that it was a missed opportunity for Amaranta. She had great potential. Her performance at the preliminary auditions had been impressive.

—"Miss Andrade, I missed the second audition because my grandmother was sick," Amaranta explained.

—"It's okay. Rocio, even if Amaranta had gone to the second screening, the Film Academy won't be able to keep her. Her first choice is Capital University."

— Rocio Andrade was stunned by what Johanna had said.

—"Capital University?" Rocio Andrade gave Amaranta a thumbs up. She continued, "That's amazing. But I'll still encourage you to go to my school. Amaranta, do you want to consider joining the Capital Film Academy?"

— Amaranta shook her head. "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Miss Andrade. But I won't be working in the film industry in the future." She wouldn't, not now that she knew she could find her true future and happiness if she attended Capital University.

— Rocio Andrade shook her head. "It's a shame. You have so much potential. Why are you…" Johanna placed a hand on Rocio's shoulder, stopping her from continuing.

—"Seekers, guardians, teachers, you're all warned," Johanna joked. " I Knew, saw Amaranta first." Rocio Andrade's hair was slightly curly and she looked very elegant. She wore a vintage dress and a pair of leather shoes. Her makeup was light and her features especially pretty. She made one feel at ease. "Don't brag any more after winning, or I'll get angry."

Johanna Saenz stopped, smiling immediately. "Rocio, take Amaranta to study her character." If she didn't keep a close eye on Rocio, she could create problems.

"You really are a slave driver," Rocio Andrade laughed. "Amaranta just arrived."

Johanna pretended to look bad. "Amaranta doesn't have much time," she emphasized. "She's only less than three months old. We have to finish filming the parts in that short period."

Amaranta Cid and Rocio Andrade went to the dressing room. Even though Amaranta was a newbie, she was the female lead. As such, she had a private dressing room. The clothes Amaranta had to wear in the movie were all in the dressing room.

—"Amaranta, have you studied the script?"

— Amaranta took out the script. She had treated studying the script as a way to de-stress while preparing for college entrance exams.-"Miss Andrade, I have read the script, but I am worried that I do not have any acting experience."

— Rocio Andrade took the script from Amaranta. She flipped through it and saw that she had used different markers to highlight the lines. She could see that she had studied the script seriously.

"Everyone knows how to act," Rocio said matter-of-factly. "You probably also pretended to be sick to fool adults when you were younger. In a sense, that is also considered acting. Amaranta, I am not worried. As long as you can put yourself in the character's shoes, you will definitely be able to act."

"So, Miss Andrade, what should I do now?"

— Rocio, led Amaranta to the filming set. "Amaranta, you have to see how others act now and think about where you should stand, which is your best angle: for example, what is your most dignified side in a photo."

— Director Daniel Exxo saw Amaranta and nodded before looking back at the screen in front of him.

They were filming a scene where the male lead was telling his family that he was in love with the female lead. The main character's name was called Martin Yaregui, and the actor who played him was also a rookie that director Daniel had found in entertainment circles.

— The main character's parents were played by famous and experienced actors in the industry. They had joined the set without taking any pay because they were friends of the director and also because they did not have a major role in the film.

"Dad, Mum, I really like Dulce. I want to be with her. I won't marry anyone but her."

— Amaranta looked at the male lead's face. She suddenly recognized him. He had played an insignificant character in the movie she and Izan Marsans had watched together at the small mall's cinema.

He would become an award-winning actor in the future. He would become famous in the entertainment industry.

-"Cut!"-

— Director Daniel Exxo walked to the middle of the set with a worried expression. "Hector, your emotions are wrong," he criticized. "You're trying to portray how determined you are. The people sitting in front of you are your parents…"

Hector del Campo stood to the side and humbly listened to the criticism.

—"Take 10 minutes, and we'll continue after that. Hector del Campo, come with me."

— Hector del Campo and director Daniel approached Amaranta. "Hector del Campo, this is the female lead of our film, Dulce Akotegi," Director Daniel introduced Amaranta. "She just arrived on set today. You're her senior, so study the script together carefully. You two are acting as a couple, so at least give me the feeling that you two are one. I want your acting to be believable, that you're really in love."

At that moment, Hector del Campo thought that wouldn't be difficult…
