Episode 2

Amaka is the only one I could call a friend, sheā€™s not always there for me but sheā€™s always there when she needs me to work on her fatherā€™s farm for free. She came to visit me ( gossip of course) to tell me about the new people in our town, I wasnā€™t interested until she said it was film people, I was so happy, so much so that I jumped on her and hugged her happily, she was surprise.

AMAKA
Babes are you okay? You want to wound me? Whatā€™s with the excitement self?

LESLEY
you wonā€™t understand, you donā€™t know how long I have prayed to meet one of this people.

AMAKA
Meet them so what would happen? Babes is not people like you they are looking for there, you have no class, no background nothing.

LESLEY
But I have got passion, talents and those are what you can never get ( I told her angrily)

AMAKA
Passion? My sister who passion help? I heard a-s, is what gets you there, you give the director a nice and hot sex, he just fix you up, donā€™t go there fooling yourself about having one stupid passion and talent ( she scoff)

LESLEY
All my life, I have prayed, and write all the stories that came to my head because I believe one day I would use it, I wonā€™t sit here and listen to your rubbish. Please leave my house bad adviser.

AMAKA
(She got up and looked around and laugh) you call this a house? This is a hut not a house my friend, you and your parents are the only ones living in a hut in this village, you should be ashamed of yourself.

LESLEY
ashamed? Thereā€™s no shame in poverty, we didnā€™t choose to be poor it just happen, Iā€™m not ashamed of my status or condition, but in four years time if you come back and still see me in this condition then I will be ashamed..

She hiss and walked away, do I care? I donā€™t care I really didnā€™t care, all I care is how to be someone great, how to make my parents proud. I quickly took my bath and hurried to their shooting set, crowd would be an understatement, it was like the coming of Jesus, people were so many, the actor were even finding it hard to walk around with there shooting instruments, some huge guys were pushing the crowd out of the way.

I looked for a place and sat, I waited for them to round up for that day, when everyone had start retiring to their homes before I got up to look for the director. I met one guy with camera, the ID card around his neck say ā€ Ucheā€

LESLEY
Hi, good evening Mr Uche

UCHE
Evening beautiful lady,(his eyes rolling all over my body)

LESLEY
Iā€™m looking for the director of this movie

UCHE

LESLEY
What? You are the director? (He look so young)

UCHE
Why? I look so small right? (He giggle)

LESLEY
Iā€™m sorry, but yeah you look so small.

UCHE
Now tell me what I can do for you.

LESLEY
You seem busy, maybe I should come back later?

UCHE
Yeah Iā€™m busy, but I can suspend it for a beautiful girl like you (he wink at me)

LESLEY
I have stories to give to you, but on one condition.
