"Didn't you know hate burns sweetheart?- D.S."
A fanfiction in which Alyssa Geron falls for who she thinks is the charming, sweet Drew Starkey, but soon comes to realize he is nothing like he portrays himself as on the internet.
Alyssa Smith is the new girl on the block for season two of outer banks. Jonas, the producer, decided to hire a new love interest for JJ to make things interesting between JJ and Kierra. Filming starts in two days, and tonight, there is a party for everyone to meet the cast or see them again if they're from season one.
Alyssa's P.O.V.
Tonight is the night of the party where I'll be meeting the cast and everyone that I'll be around for the next several months. I'm nervous, to say the least, because I'm not like all of the other girls in the cast. I'm not skinny like them, and I'm definitely not as pretty as any of them. I've always struggled with the way I looked, and my manager thought venturing out like this into a whole new show would help me gain the confidence I need to make it in the media world.
The party starts at 8 pm, and it is currently 5:30 pm. I live roughly 20 minutes from the venue, so I decided to start getting ready. I showered first and let my hair airdry as I tried to figure out what I would wear. After about ten outfit changes and two mental breakdowns, I decided on a pair of white mom jeans with a black sort of cropped short that was more on the fancy side. I added my Gucci belt and some jewelry and sat down at my vanity. I curled my hair and did a full face of makeup.

I added some Doc Martens and looked for a purse that matched my outfit. I decided on a small plain black crossbody and threw in my phone, keys, wallet, chapstick, and other essential things. I check the time and see that it is already 7:50 and decide it's time to leave, no matter how nervous I am. I pull my phone out and order a lift. As I wait for its arrival, I spray some perfume on and check myself in the mirror. I shrug my shoulders because I can't get any better.
I get a message from my Lift saying it's outside waiting, so I quickly throw my phone in my purse and walk out of my apartment to the elevator to head down to the main entrance. I walk out the doors and see the car with the lift light in the back of it. I double-check the car is for me before getting in and greeting myself.
The ride seems to go by fast with small talk between the driver and me and soft music playing throughout the speakers. As I get closer to the venue, I get nervous about meeting everyone for the first time. I thank the driver as we approach the venue and get out, shutting the door behind me. I start walking towards the entrance talking myself down from the nervousness.
I don't immediately recognize anyone on the cast, so I head towards the kitchen, looking for a drink, hoping to calm down my butterflies. I walk into the door and look around. I go to grab a truly out of a cooler at the same time as another girl. I pull my hand back and turn towards her. We both smile, instantly recognizing one another.
"Hey! You're Alyssa, right?" The dirty blonde girl asks, still smiling.
"Yes! And you must be Madelyn!" I reply and smile.
