chapter 2. Kate McKinnon

-"shit shit shit" you said repeatedly to yourself as you dressed in the outfit you luckily had picked out days ago, you took your apartment keys and rushed out the door

You were running late, it was Monday, which meant your first day at the snl writing meetings, which meant seeing Kate, you wanted to look perfect for her, which was why you had spent extra time doing your makeup and hair, you looked amazing, but you hadn't measuring the time and now you had to run

With hurried hands you locked the door before hurrying towards the elevator, when you got to the basement of your building your car was already there waiting for you, you hurried in, greeted your chauffeur and started working on your breathing as the car advanced

You got there about 10 minutes after the stated time with a face red with embarrassment, you then walked towards the building's front desk to check in while your hands fidgeted with each other

Before you could get there, a sweater was thrown at you from behind, covering your face completely, then two hands grabbed you by your shoulders, it took no time to figure they belonged to Kate

-"shush, they think you're already inside" she whispered to your ear as she strayed walking

The thought of how you might look to a third person made you cackle, earning you a playful "shhh"

-"I know you are new to this business, but if one thing is important here is punctuality" she kept guiding you

-"I know, I know and I'm sorry" you thought of how long you had been styling your hair and how it was all flattened now by Kate's sweater "but, may I ask?..."

-"oh, so twenty minutes ago when I realized you hadn't arrived yet I told everyone you did-" Kate said naturally

-"and how did?-" you kept interrupting each other, but it bothered neither of you

-"well, I told them you ripped your pants, so you were waiting for your assistant to bring you new ones from your place" you could figure her facial expressions just by hearing her

-"did no one try to come and help or-"

-"yes, in fact, the wardrobe department said they'd be more than happy to repair your pants, so I had to tell them your assistant was already on their way" she took one hand off your shoulder, so you figured she was waving it in circles as she usually did while explaining a meh story "and I also had to call a couple of my colleagues creeps when they tried and go say hello to you" she laughed

-"why creeps?" You laughed with her

-"cause you'd have no pants" she said as if it was obvious

-"oh right" you said just as she took the sweater off your head, you were already in your dressing room, you glanced at the mirror, your makeup was a bit smudged and surprisingly your hair was incredibly better than you thought it was

-"alright so, 'put your pants on'" she said with a face "and come meet us when you're ready" she smiled

-"thank you" you smiled sweetly

-"I've got you" she smiled back before leaving

OH GOD

You fixed your hair and makeup before walking out the door to find an assistant who was just waiting to direct you towards the room everyone was in

The assistant knocked on the door for you and when you were invited in he left

-"hello" you said faking confidence

-"y/n!!" Leslie Jones waved from her seat, you had met at the big Pool party, so you weren't strangers, unlike the rest of the cast, not including Pete and Kate of course "how is your pants situation?-" she started saying as she laughed
