I looked up from my notebook, “Hey, Lizbeth!”
“You ready for tonight?” She sits next to me under the ramada.
“Always ready for filming! We’ve been working on this scene for so long, if we have to have another rehearsal, I will scream.”
“Nobody will be louder than you than me,” Lizbeth rolled her eyes.
“Why did we want to make a movie? We are in 7th grade, totally untrained, and have barely any resources.”
“Yeah, but you know why we’re stuck with it- if you have an idea, and really don’t think it will happen, don’t mention it to Ashlyn.”
Ashlyn is the most ambitious person in the school, with a mind running 452 mph (something she told me a while ago). She is living in the future through her goals and dreams, and I would not be surprised if, by now, she has officially achieved time travel.

When they started hearing about it, our classmates have randomly asked to be in the movie and have commented how cool it is that we’re doing it. The librarian has even offered to help with all of the technology programs we may have trouble
