"Sierra!" Alyssa calls out.

I peer my eyes away from the straining Chromebook screen, and gaze them at Alyssa. She currently stands in front of me wobbling her food on a lunch tray. I nod my head and that gives her the cue to sit.

"You working on homework?" She asks.

"Oh— no. I'm helping one of my other friends write her one act."

Her eyes go blank. "What's that..."

"They're student written and directed plays." I explain.

"Ohhh. Okay. Cool."

"Hey, Sierra!" Maddie greets me while sliding into a seat. She lifts her lululemon bag to the table surface and pulls it open.

"How's being on set for you?" She asks.

"It's really cool. I wrapped up on filming for this one short film and my agent wants me to get a Netflix deal."

The duo's eyes light up.

"That's so cool! You're actually going to be famous!" Maddie states.

"For real—don't forget us girly." Alyssa adds.

I blush. "Well, it's not a guarantee."

"I know, but you have an actual agent and everything. I literally bought that skin care stuff because I saw you in a commercial during a March madness game." Maddie says.

"Did it work?" I ask.

"Oh—yeah totally."

"Maddie. I heard what happened in the locker room with Jess. What did you do?" Alyssa changes the subject.

I turn my attention back to the screen and start typing again.

Dear heaven, I'm pretty sure you know about my new friends Alyssa and Maddie? Idk if I ever mentioned them to you guys, but yeah! It's weird because they were the type of girls to ignore me in like middle school...honestly I'm pretty sure they did. They never talked to me unless they needed hw answers...which is fine. And it got me thinking about acting. I love acting, but now I also low key love the perks as well. I get paid to do something I love and to get away from my house for a few hours a day, and people that never talked to me before started talking to me! That's why I really wanna push for this Netflix thing because I want to go to LA and get out of HERE.|

"Oh hey, Michael!" I hear Maddie say.

I perk my head up. My cheeks go red at the sound of his name and I'm suddenly hyper aware of my surroundings. There he is...right in front of us. All tall and cool looking. Then, he glances at me and points his finger.

"I'll save you a spot at the line." He says to me before walking off to the front of the cafeteria.

"Oooh. Are you dating him?" Maddie asks.

A smile forms on my face at the word 'dating.'

"Nah," I giggle. "We've just been spending some time together because, you know, he just moved here. So I wanted to show him around."
