the steinfeld effect

chapter sixteen : girls

soundtrack chapter : capital letters - hailee steinfeld 

"her jersey?"

I held the top Mace handed me the moment we got into a vacant room, she has an entire bag of her clothes yet she said this was the only thing that isn't likely to be used for today, and it was her only extra clothes too. 

"yeah, you'll work with that just fine, just make sure the press won't see you wearing that or her fans will go insane..."

"the last time they did, with her bestfriend Sophie who-"

"actually I am not supposed to tell you what happened since Hailee is way too private about what happened."

My eyebrows met in curiosity.

"i'll leave you here, come out soon...The shoot is done and performance is coming up, we needed you to be in the dressing room okay?"

I gave her a nod before shutting the door behind me, I looked at her jersey one more time. It has her last name in the back and her birthdate on the front and back, I assume. 

The shirt was a little too big for me, not surprised at all from what I can see, Hailee is incredibly taller and has broader shoulders than I am. I was doubting whether I should come out with this shirt or not, but again I didn't have a choice so I folded the ends of the of the arm part so it wouldn't look too big before tucking in the rest in my pants. 

"looks good."

I was flattening some parts of the shirt when I looked behind me to see Hailee standing with her arms crossed.

"Mace said it was the only thing available."

I told her while biting the inside of my cheeks.

"yeah, just a little big on you but I am glad you work that out."

She told me before the rest of the staff crowded her to take her into one of the rooms, I was called a few minutes later for the outfit changing. I knocked a few times before coming in, there she was in front of the vanity mirror touching up.

"here you go."

I hand her over her clothes and left the ones that was an extra parts of her clothes.

"that shit looked heavy.."

She shook her head when she laid eyes on the props I had to put down on the mini couch.

"not much if we lessen some stuff, would you like that?"

I took a few accessories away that might be too heavy while moving and tried to help her put them on. 

"you should come upstairs to watch me perform."

She spoke as I fix her body lace, the outfit felt a little complicated to do but I was glad I as able to pull it off.

"I felt like I'd ruin it again, you know...-"

"why do you worry so much about something that happened already, I am asking you to sit down in front and watch me perform is that so much to ask?"

Her arms raised on each side of her as I slipped in a few garments in.

"If I was Timothee, you'd instantly say yes."

I heard her mumbled, her head turned to the side, so I pretended I haven't heard her and proceed to fixing her clothes. 

"there.."

I dusted my hands looking her from head to toe, she looked perfect.

"come on, I'd be waiting outside.."
