Red Desert [L.H.]

[2]

The lights flashed red and blue, glitter being thrown around, people dancing, music playing.

'Red red desert, heal our blues, I'd dive deeper for you'

It was rolling around to midnight, and we were having the time of our lives. It may have just been the five of us; Harry, Mike, Rosie ,Calum, and I, but we were all having fun. After we all finished on set today, we decided to hangout at the trailers. The area was gated so we got a few strobe lights from the building and hooked them up, throwing ourselves a little party for a successful day of filming.

I got caught up with Mike, and got to know Calum. They're both amazing but I wish I would've got to meet the others too. I had a cup of soda in hand considering none of us wanted a bad hangover on filming day two, I walked over toward the closed gate and found Mike standing with a red solo cup. "Hello Michael," I said. "Hello Maia. How may I be of your assistance?"

"Well first you can start with helping me clean up this mess after everyone has gone inside, and then i'll prepare a list of difficult tasks for you to complete," He laughed, as did I.

"Alright, when shall I start?" He said acting very sophisticated. "Right now my peasant!"

We both walked over to the trash can and threw our empty cups away. "Ok, so of course I was kidding about the whole list thing, but could you help me clean up?" I asked him. "Yeah I'd love to help, plus it wouldn't be fair if you had to clean this all yourself,"

"Can I help as well?" A voice spoke from behind us. I turned around and wasn't surprised when I saw Harry.

"Hey Harry! And yes you can help too," I told him.

We all began picking up cups that got blown around by the strong winds and collected the strobe lights, putting them back into storage and making sure everything was locked up. "You know..." Mike started to say, "...we're acting like we just had a big party with like, fifty people. We got this small mess cleaned up in like five minutes,"

"You've got a point," Harry and I said in unison, then we all broke into laughter.

"Bet we couldn't do that again," Harry said.

"Wanna try?"I asked, raising my eyebrow.

"Give me a category,"

"Food,"

"Alright. 3, 2, 1,"

In unison, we shouted, "Pizza!" "Biscuits!"

"Really Harry. Biscuits?" I said.

"Yes, I enjoy them. Plus I once worked in a bakery,"

Michael walked back over to us and said, "Did someone say pizza?" He looked like a happy kid on christmas morning, it saddened me knowing I was gonna have to tell him the bad news.

"Yes I said pizza, so i'm sorry to say that... there is no pizza,"

"WHAT? How could you do that to me? I'm sorry Maia, we can no longer be friends," He said turning to the side and holding his hand in front of my face.

"I'll buy you pizza for lunch tomorrow," I suggested.

"Everyone, do you see this wonderful human being? Her name is Maia McCallen and she is my best friend!" He announced to literally no one but Harry and I, considering we were the only people outside.

"Well I'm dreadfully tired so im going to bed. See you guys later," Harry said, stretching and yawning. Mike and I said bye to him and he went to his trailer.

"Well, I guess I better get going too. bye Michael see you in the morning,"

"Bye Maia, sleep well," "Will do," Michael and I went our separate ways to our trailers, as I was about to pass out from being so tired. I had a lot of fun today, and i'm glad i'm making friends. 'Maybe I'll get lucky and I won't be a loner my whole life' I thought to myself as I unlocked my door, pulling off my shoes as I stepped inside.
