Willow leaned her head back, munching on the protein bar she'd snagged from her trailer.
She'd been lucky enough to get a trailer, albeit small, but Disney had the budget to get all a starring actors their own.

Pedro had the largest one, of course, being the star of the show. He didn't spend much time in, surprisingly enough. He was always around people, joking with the crew, running lines, taking notes.

He never stood still. Willow found that both endearing and incredibly irritating.

She couldn't get a word in half the time. Especially since three days prior when he'd last texted her.

They'd made great progress in their friendship since first meeting, and now it seemed as though they'd taken five steps back.

He hasn't responded to any of her messages, save one when she asked if he'd be on set that day, per one of their producers, and he responded with a thumbs up.

He'd practically ignored her at work, excluding their scenes together, which indirectly made it easier to portray her hostile character.

Willow wasn't entirely sure what she'd done wrong. She thought they were off to a great start, possibly even planning to spend time together — a date, even, if she dared think the words — but now it seemed he wasn't interested in her at all.

She detested his new hot and cold attitude, even wishing he would just go back to how it was prior to their "relationship," where he was rude at best.

And as mildly irritating as he was, she missed him. She missed talking to him late at night or early in the morning before work. Ever since that first night where they'd talked about their favorite things, they always started the next conversation with a question — a get to know you.

And now radio silence.

It irked her, deeply. Now quiet, he unknowingly toyed with her insecurities, making her inferiorities feel far greater than they actually were. While seemingly inconsequential to most, her fears prayed on her very sense of self.

Was she enticing? Funny? Witty? Interesting? Friendly? Did she irritate people? Was Pedro irritated by her? Is that why he'd suddenly stopped communicating with her?
