316 Growing pains

"Emma? Emma! The suppressed anger of the voice pulled Emma Stone out of the distracted world, she jerked her head up, and then saw the expressionless face of the acting teacher, and the anger revealed in her eyes was clearly visible; Panicked, she turned her head and looked around, and found that all eyes in the classroom were focused on her, while her mind went blank, and she didn't understand what had just happened.

"Emma, this is the fourth time in two days that you have been distracted in class, if you don't think this class is worth paying attention to, then you should choose to leave, Hollywood is a place full of countless opportunities, and class is not the only option; But if you think you need to accumulate this lesson, then show your professional attitude, no director wants to see his actors not pay enough attention in their performances! No! ”

The acting teacher's voice was like a tight string, clearly conveying his anger, which made Emma bow her head in shame and accept all the reprimands apologetically. "Rest for fifteen minutes!" The teacher eventually dropped the sentence and turned to leave the room.

There was silence in the classroom, and after a pause of about two seconds, everyone's discussion slowly sounded, and after a while, they fell into the daily noise, which made Emma's tense shoulders loosen slightly, "Emma, are you okay?" A worried voice came from her ears, and when she looked up, she crashed into a sea of breathtaking light blue eyes, which made Emma's mind flutter for a while, and she immediately thought of the man, and she had to turn her head wolfishly, avoiding the gaze of those eyes.

Emma's panic made Alexandra-Daddario even more worried, she gently patted Emma's shoulder, and the gentle movement made Emma stunned, "Emma? What's going on? Emma realized that she had delusional, that she wasn't even a man next to her, and that her eyes were far less thrilling. The youthfulness in the pupils is clear at a glance. Alexandra, who had just arrived in Los Angeles not long ago, joined their acting class, and although she was two years older than Emma, the two quickly became friends.

Emma shook her head, "It's fine. But she also knew that she didn't look like she was okay just now, but it was the truth, and she had to repeat it again, "It's okay." It's true. I was just...... It's just distraction. Her brain was empty, and she could barely find any thoughts, just in a daze, distracted, and it seemed that even thinking was so laborious. Or, to be more precise, she didn't know what she was supposed to think.

"I sued you! I sued you! Alexandra's words were interrupted by a noisy voice, and both she and Emma looked up at the voiceβ€”for half of the classroom had gathered, and the girl standing in the middle had a newspaper in her hand, and said excitedly, "I'll just say Kayla and Lance are dating!" I sued you! ”

"Dating?" A group of girls gasped. Surprise and envy flashed in his eyes.

"Ignore it." Before Emma's brain could say this, her body had already made the first move - she stood up and walked towards the crowd, and Alexandra tried to hold Emma. But the movement was half a beat slower, only catching a gust of wind, and then she followed suit.

The girl held a copy of the Los Angeles Times in her hand, and a huge photo was posted in the center of the entertainment section. The photograph is made up of three parts, from left to right, "Candlelight Dinner", "Kayla Leaves the Hotel", and "Lance Leaves the Hotel", clearly piecing together the details of a one-night date. The huge headline catches your eye, "Lance and Kayla spend /spring/night together!" Hollywood's new golden boy? It became the finishing touch, directly lighting up the focus of the whole news.

"God! At the previous premiere, I knew that Kayla and Lance were dating! But they still say no! ”

"Artists don't always do this, even if it happens, they have to deny it, and I bet with a licorice candy that even if the photo is taken this time, both of them will definitely continue to deny it."

"It must have been Kayla who took the initiative to hook up/hook up with Lance, Jesus Christ, how can Kayla be worthy of Lance, let go of that man and let me come!"

"They're actually dating? I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it! Is this true? Are you sure? ”

"Of course it's true, it's the Los Angeles Times, and if it weren't true, they wouldn't have reported it with entertainment headlines. Now it is estimated that the paparazzi have completely surrounded Lance and Kayla's house, and it is estimated that the follow-up report will be seen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This is simply the hottest news of this summer! ”

"Four hours in a hotel room, oh my god, what the hell are they doing in there, hahaha, just think about it all the time I feel blush, it seems that someone's staying power is very good!"

"Look, you see, Kayla actually changed her outfit when she left, does that mean...... Ahhh ”

"Kayla doesn't deserve the best man like Lance! Come on! She's not pretty, and she doesn't have a figure! ”

"If I could go on a one-night date with Lance and let me die now, I'd do too!"

"Me too, God, Lance is heartbreakingly handsome, those eyes...... It's a work of art! ”

The chatter was endless, but soon everyone united and began to show a nymphomaniac state, with a pink peach blossom halo blooming in their eyes, making the classroom a spring / light, so lively.

However, Emma was stunned and did not join the discussion, because she knew that this qiΔ“ was all arranged, and all the qiΔ“ was carried out according to Lance's plan. Even Kayla was kept in the dark and became a pawn in Lance's hands.

In an instant, Emma remembered that night, the transaction between Lance and the paparazzi, all the details were so vivid, surging in the form of a tide, occupying every corner of her brain, she could even recall the eyes of the Night King, blooming with an evil and cold light, and the bloody and cruel smile on the corner of his mouth looked like Hannibal. This made Emma shiver.

However, when she closed her eyes, the memories in her mind began to surge, and she saw those bright blue eyes as bright as stars again, and the warm smile on the corner of her mouth could almost melt the world, and the dandelions that were like electric shocks and cheers as if floating in the air were everywhere.

Light and darkness, joy and sorrow, happiness and pain, love and fear...... Contradictory feelings surged in her brain, constantly tugging in her mind, and the tearing pain made her brain almost explode.

Alexandra looked at the headline in front of her, and couldn't help but widen her eyes in amazement, although she knew that Hollywood would never be short of gossip, but seeing the news break with her own eyes, and it happened just a few blocks away from her, this too real unreality still made her speechless in surprise, and the interjection broke through the shackles of her throat and flowed out in an angry voice, "This man is really a work of art, Emma, what do you say?" Alexandra turned her head to ask, but she was stunned when she saw Emma leave the crowd, and then she also turned to chase after her.

Emma didn't go far, just walked to the corner of the classroom, then leaned against the wall, sat cross-legged, supported her chin with her right hand, and looked at the ordinary traffic outside the window, stunned again.

He's a good guy and he's a bad guy; He's a gentleman, he's a jerk; He's an angel and he's still a demon...... What is his true face? How many masks does he really wear? Which face is his truest face? Is it the invincible evil hidden under that handsome face, or the soft and fragile goodness? Is it the bright and warm sunlight or the freezing darkness that is encased in that delicate skin?

Confusion, chaos, countless thoughts are like a mess of yarn, only becoming more and more chaotic under the toss of the cat's paws.

Alexandra sat down beside Emma, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to shut up and just sit quietly. Emma looked up a little dazedly, and her eyes were unfocused on the group of chattering and noisy girls in front of her, and suddenly she said, "Why can't things be simpler, you say?" ”

Alexandra apparently didn't understand and looked up at Emma. Emma rubbed her cheeks vigorously with both hands, and then sighed heavily, "Why should a simple thing be so complicated? To like is to like, and to hate is to hate...... But ...... "But what, Emma herself doesn't know, the words are stuck in her chest like this, she can't spit it out or swallow it, this feeling is really uncomfortable."

Looking at Emma's immature and green face, but showing a look of annoyance, the irritability and chagrin between her eyebrows churned without any concealment, which made Alexandra laugh dumbly, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Because we all have to grow up." This sentence made Emma stunned, raised her head with a puzzled face, and cast her gaze.

Although she is only two years older than Emma, in the past two years, she has walked from New York to Los Angeles, stumbling on the road of being an actress for two years, stumbling and struggling in the journey of her dreams; So, maybe she knows a little bit more than Emma, if it's just a little bit like a little thumb.

Alexandra patted Emma on the shoulder, "A lot of times, liking and hating are really simple. It's like they, maybe just because Lance is handsome, and then they like it; Maybe it's just because a guy is smiling at you, because a guy is wearing a white shirt that you like, or ...... Or help you open the glass door of the coffee house and love it. ”

The words silenced Emma, her irregular heartbeat tapping gently on her eardrums. (To be continued.) )
