Chapter 5 Shouting for Fabio

I get to Chapelfield Park at 9：59. I'm not late， but I don't look good. Because of the wind， my hair is everywhere. It is a bad hair day. But by 10：30 I don't look like Sophia Reynolds. Beautiful Young Things is a 1960s film， and all the extras （臨时演员） have 1960s hair.

“From bad hair day to big hair day！” I think.

In the film Fabio Facelli is a famous singer， Ricky Burns. All the extras are going to watch him sing. I can't believe it-in a minute I'm going to see Fabio Facelli！

“OK，” says the film director. “You're all here to see the famous Ricky Burns. You love Ricky Burns！ And any minute he's going to be here！ I want you all to shout for Ricky. OK！”

Everyone starts to shout. “Ricky！ Ricky！”

Then a man comes over. He's tall with dark hair and beautiful eyes. “Fabio”！ I start to shout. “Fabio！”

“Stop！” says the film direct.

“Shout out for Ricky， not Fabio， please！” the director says.

“Oh， no！” I think.

“Sorry， Fabio，” the film director says to the tall man with dark hair.

Fabio Facelli's eyes look cold. “That's funny，” I think， they never look cold in his films. He walks away again.

“OK！” says the film director and we start to shout again.

This time I shout out， “Ricky！”

We shout and shout and shout. After thirty minutes I can't talk because of all the shouting.

“OK，” says the film director to us. “We're going to stop for ten minutes and have a drink.”

I have a drink and then I go to find my phone. I want to phone George about my bag. But I've got a text from him.

He's got my bag！

“OK， everyone！” I hear the director shout.

I put my phone away and run out. Crash！ I run into a man. It's Fabio Facelli！

“Why don't you look where you're going？” Fabio shouts at me. “Look at my trousers！”

“Sorry，” I start to say. But Fabio doesn't stop to listen.

I watch him go. “You have beautiful eyes，” I think， “but you're not a beautiful man.” Then I think about another man's eyes. Dark eyes. PC George Cooper's eyes.

Chapter 6  A George Cooper Film

We stop work at five o'clock. What a day！ I feel very tired.

I walk slowly to the police station to get my bag. Next to the police station， a man speaks to me.

“Miss Reynolds？ Is that you？”

I look up and see a man on a big motorbike. It's George！

I smile and go up to him. “Thank you for your text，” I say.

He smiles at me. He looks very good in black on his motorbike. “I'm just doing my job， Miss Reynolds.”

He's looking at my hair. Is that why he's smiling like that？ Or does he like me？

“Please call me Sophia，” I tell him.

“Well， thank you for your help today， Sophia，” he says.

He looks at my hair again. “Your hair is very... big this evening，” he says.

I laugh. “Yes，” I say. “I'm having a big hair day！ They're making a film in Chapelfield Park. I'm an extra in it.

“You're going to be famous then？ ”he asks.

I think about Fabio Facelli and his cold eyes. But George is smiling at me and I don't feel sad. “No，” I say， “I'm not going to be famous.”

George looks at me. “Are you going to get your bag？” he asks.

“Yes，” I say，” but I don't want to walk away from him. I don't want him to go.

Does he know what I'm thinking？ “Do you want to go for a drink？” he asks. “Get your bag first. I can wait for you.”

I smile a very big smile. “Yes，” I say. “Yes， please！”

“Good.” he says.

We don't just have a drink. We talk and we laugh a lot. And he kisses me. It feels like a film， when the boy gets the girl. Only this isn't a Fabio Facelli film， it's a George Cooper film.

George Cooper films are very good！
