I woke up, probably only had about 4 hours of sleep but it don't matter it was my first day on the new job. I got up and washed my face and brushed my teeth before combing and styling my hair into a sleek bun. Then I put some makeup on, not a lot but enough to cover the few spots I got. I ran to my wardrobe rapidly picking out some brown pleated tailored pants, a blue turtle neck and a drop shoulder teddy coat. I matched it with a Star necklace, a chain necklace and some dr. Martens I got for my 18th birthday.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed a pancake and left the house. I got a Starbucks and made my way to the job. I walked in and saw chandeliers after chandeliers, it was beautiful and a sight to behold. I went to the desk and asked where I was supposed to go and got there. I met my co-worker Amia, she was beautiful and very sweet. We talked for a while until my new boss came in.

'I see you have met our wonderful Amia y/n' he said to me as my eyes shout up to meet his gaze. 'Yes I have Mr Conway' I said smiling. He was handsome but not really my type it seems like he was Amia's type by the way she looked at him. Every time she did her eyes glistened with passion and lust, but I could be wrong of course. 'You will be with a few more people in the next few days but this part just requires you two' he said us. This made me ecstatic, I was finally getting to work with people and do the one thing that made me happier than ever. Acting.

We got in with learning a part of the script and we started working. We got a copy to take home and one that stays here, just in case one of us or both of us loose it that way they can print more off if need be.

'HE CHEATED ON ME WITH YOU, THATS DISGRACEFUL. I NEVER EXPECTED THAT OFF YOU' I said in a rage at the other woman standing in-front of me. 'Guess what yes he did, he did cheat on you with me but I don't care because either way I get what I want.' She said. 'And what is that' I replied back to her. 'I get his love and him all to myself' she said. 

'CUT' he said as we snap out of character and laugh as I trip up the prop. 'Here' Amia lays her hand out to me as she helps me up. 'This is a-lot of fun Amia, I'm glad you are my partner' Ie said to her. 'Thank you y/n, I wouldn't be here if it were not for you they were going to cancel the show but you came through and changed that' she said that as I stood in complete shock. I got somebody the job and I'm succeeding. This is the best day ever.

Once we finished shooting that bit, we got our lunch break and Amia offered for me to join her. I obviously said yes, she was the first friend I made in California. 'So y/n tell me what led you into acting' Amia said to me as I took a bite from my Boeuf bourguignon I made yesterday. 'Well I've always loved the stage and being in the moment of feeling like you are somebody else and just living a life separate from the real you' I said. She looked at me straight and said 'I only dreamt of being on the stage from a young age but what you said, what you said girl, was deep'. I giggled and finished up and put the box I put my Boeuf bourguignon in the bin.

We did a few more scenes but really only making bloopers out of it. Once we were finished Amia came up to me and gave me her number. Now I've made a friend, I thought to myself smiling. I made my way downstairs and got to the door when I bumped into the same guy I saw on my flight. 'I'm sorry are you okay' he said to me in a gentle voice. 'No I'm fine, I should've been looking where I was going' I replied to him. He looked at me for a moment stunned. 'You're the sleepy girl from the flight aren't you' he said to me and then I immediately recognised him. 'Yes it is. I never thought we would meet again, I'm glad we did though' I said before writing a note and ripping it off the page and folding it. 'I never caught your name' he said to me as I smiled. I sneakily put the note I wrote with my number on and my name in his pocket without him noticing. 'That's because you never asked' I replied to him with a little smile. 'Well I ask of you know what is your name' he asked me politely. 'My name is y/n and yours?' I asked him in my sweetest voice. 'Well my name is Armando.' He told me.

I thought to myself what a beautiful name. 'Well Armando I'll see you later' I said as he went to walk past me I pulled him back and whispered. 'One more thing check your left back pocket' he looked at me as I winked. I walked off feeling euphoric. I finally had the courage to talk to a boy who I liked. The rest of the journey home was me singing to my favourite songs such as swim by Chase Atlantic and snap out of it by The Arctic Monkeys. I rushed in my pocket to get my keys and burst into my apartment letting the bags go, shutting the door and jumping onto my bed screaming in happiness.

I was tired from today and just decided to throw my clothes in the laundry basket and to put on some joggers and an oversized hoodie. I then just wacked a microwave meal into the oven and had a cup of tea whilst waiting for my food and enjoying the gorgeous view of the sunset and the clouds just brushing over the clear blue sky. I ate my food as fast as ever before cleaning myself and everything up and jumping in bed to read. I read for about an hour until it got to 11pm and I decided to go to try sleep. I can't wait for work tomorrow or to see if Armando added my number. My life was finally piecing together.
