Chapter 29

Steffie POV

I can't believe I'm really here, on the set of Glee! It's such an amazing feeling to see the set in real life, all those years I've been watching them on a small screen, days, weeks even after the episode was aired. But now I'm here on set, a part of something special. I see a door with Ryan's name on it, so I knock it a few times and wait for his reply to enter. After five minutes still nothing. I knock again, hoping I have the right door and this isn't a joke from Daniel or so. Just when I'm about to turn around a balding man walks towards me. "Excuse me, do you know where I could find Ryan Murphy? I was supposed to meet him here, but he's not answering the door" I ask him, looking at my phone to see the time. "Well if you're looking for Ryan Murphy, also known as me, then I hope you're Stephanie my new assistant" He says, faking an angry face. Facepalm "I'm so sorry sir, I had no idea, but yes, I'm Stephanie and I hope I can fulfil your expectations" I tell him, stepping aside so he can open the door. "Let's get inside and overrun your tasks, so we can get started" he replied, going inside, sitting behind a small desk.

After a little hour we went back outside of his office, he went to his director seat and I went to the dressing rooms, making sure the right clothes were in the right dressing rooms. Ryan told me to not freak out every time I saw one of the stars, "Just treat them like you treated me when we met" he joked before walking away. Hah good one! "Alright, let's get this started with" as I looked on my list I first had to go to Amber's room, so that's where I went.

I didn't hear anything so I knocked on the door and again waited for a reply. "Come in!" "Hi, Miss Riley, I'm the new assistant, and I'm here to assure everything is in place and also if you needed something" I said rather quickly. "Ho there gurl, relax, it's just me" she joked, making me feel more comfortable. "Sorry it's a bit overwhelming to be here" I admitted to her. "It's alright gurl, I just want you to bring this to Jenna? Oh and ask Becca to come here in five please" she asked, giving me some papers. "Alright, Miss Riley" I answered, going to Jenna's dressing room. Again I knocked and waited for an answer, "Are you here for me?" someone behind me asked, I turned around seeing Jenna there. "Hi Miss Ushkowitz, Miss Riley asked me to give you these?" I said, giving her the papers, "Oh and I'm the new assistant, so if you need anything, you could ask me" I added, giving her a shy smile. "Alright, for now I don't need anything, so thank you for the papers" she said, "You're welcome" I replied, making my way to Becca.

"Excuse me, Miss Tobin? Miss Riley asked me to tell you, you should go over to her" I told her, also introducing me again. "Thank you, I'll go right away" she said, going into the direction I just came from. I look at my list and see what my next task is; 'Miss Michele, Mr Colfer and Miss Rivera: Set 10 am. NOTE: Be sure Miss Rivera is on time' Okay, keep breathing, they're just three other cast members, you can do this.

First I go to Chris' room, letting him know who I am and that he needs to be on set at 10am, then I go to Lea's room, taking a deep breath before knocking on her door. "It's open!" I enter and smile big, seeing posters on every wall. "Hi Miss Michele, I'm the new assistant and I came to inform you that you're expected on-" I started, before she gave me a hug, leaving me baffled. "Welcome on the team! Are you excited?" she asks, smiling big. "Eh, y-yes, I also wanted to tell you need to be on set at 10am and if you need anything else you can always ask me" I finished still a bit confused about what just happened. "Sorry I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, I just wanted you to feel at home" she said, quickly adding "And thank you for the reminder, I was about to ask Ryan when I had to come on" I smiled big and thanked her, before going to my last stop Miss Rivera.

I stopped in front of her door, trying to control my nerves, up until now I could handle them. Of course they're all famous, but I kind of have a huge crush on Naya and I don't really want to screw things up. I knocked, again, waiting for a reply, "Enter!" I walked in looking at my feet, this is not a time to trip over your own feet, is what I kept replying in my head. "You look familiar" she said, making me look up, seeing she was looking at me through her mirror, putting her phone away. "Hi Miss Rivera, I'm Stephanie, but everyone calls me Steffie, I'm the new assistant in case you need anything you can always ask me" I said, trying to keep my composure. "Oh hello, well I want you to tell something more about you, because you remind me of someone but I'm not sure who it is" she replied, turning around in her swirly chair. "We've met two times, once at Demi's concert and once on the plane to New York" I told her, looking at the papers in my hand. "Oh I had to tell you that you're expected on set at 10 am and that-" I hesitated not sure if I should continue, since it was rather rude to tell someone, who you don't know personally, to be on time.

"What's it you wanted to add?" she asked me, getting up and walking over to me. "Eh, it's nothing, I just wanted to say that you had to be there at 10 and that Mr Colfer and Miss Michele will be there too" I said nervously, trying to put my task list in my pocket, but she snatched it from my hand, looking at the list. "So I have to be there on time huh? Wow that's kind of rude, did you write this?" she asked, looking at me, making me cringe. "N-No, I got this from Mr Murphy, h-he wrote all this down" I answered her honestly. To my surprise she just laughed and hugged me, "Don't worry, I'm just messing with you, I know Ryan did this. In fact he told me he would do this so we could test you a little" she said, still hugging me. I couldn't reply, I was stunned, but in the same time I felt my nerves leaving my body, like she took them away by a simple hug.

"Y-you tricked me?" is what I finally managed to say, when she let go of me. "Only to test you, we don't want some crazy fans here, who would delay the filming" she answered, still smiling. "Oh I see, how did I do?" I asked, twiddling my thumbs, getting a bit nervous again. "I got a text from everyone, saying you did a good job, so I think you passed" Naya told me, making me smile. "Really? Yes!" I yelled while fist pumping. She shook her head, laughing at me, "Congratulations on your job!" she said, giving me another quick hug.
-----•••---•••-----
It's been a few weeks since I joined the cast, but I hadn't met all members yet, since they didn't have to be here all yet. I had to get the cast members on time, so they wouldn't be late on set. Sometimes they asked me to get something to drink for them or if they forgot their script, I had to get it for them. It isn't a hard job and I love working with all of them, they really treat you like a family member. Also Ryan tells me he's very grateful he found such a hardworking assistant.

Most of the times I can keep my nerves down and I can act normal around the cast, but sometimes, especially with Naya, my nerves peak up again. It's crazy, especially when she hugs me or touches my arm or hand, my nerves disappear without a trace. She calms me down, with the slightest touch, but when I'm just around her, butterflies erupt in my stomach, making me go crazy. Secretly I hope she doesn't notice, because I know she's still with Demi, although I'm not sure a lot of people here know about that. I wonder how things are going between the two of them actually, I don't want to intrude, but I don't see any recent pictures from the two of them. Maybe the both of them are just really busy at the moment. I might ask Naya tomorrow, who knows... Oh shit, I'm late, I should be at hair and makeup, making sure if they have everything.
