"OMG you're the girl from the afterparty!" The girl in front of Sarah squeals.

"Haha, yeah," Sarah does her best to smile. It was exciting to be recognized the first few times but now it is getting old. "Were you there?" She asks as she continues to check her ticket and grab her luggage.

"Oh no, I just saw you on Snapchat and TikTok!" The girl's smile only seems to grow wider.

"Yeah I'm friends with the Northstar boys so they invited me as a plus one," Sarah explains. Maybe she was jumping the gun a little but after going through this process enough times she knew the excited girl was bound to ask how she got invited next, so she went ahead and answered it.

"Oh that is so cool! Maybe I'll have to check them out." She grins as Sarah hands her back her ticket.

"Anyways, it was really nice meeting you," Sarah smiles as she moves the girl along.

"I have never seen so many passengers get so excited to see you," Shawn says from behind her.

"Please save me," Sarah whines as her head falls to the table.

"You get off in like thirty minutes, I think you can last for that long," Shawn says as he pats her head.

"Plus, this is when we start to get slow so you should be fine," Destiny smiles as soon as she sends her own client along.

"Hello," a man says as he slides up to Sarah's counter.

"Good afternoon!" Sarah quickly switches into her customer service persona as she looks at her new client. He silently gives his flight ticket to her and she works diligently as she checks his information and takes his bag.

"Thank you Sarah," He smiles as she returns his ticket.

"Of course!" She responds.

"Is he another one of your fans?" Destiny asks as the counter becomes empty again.

"Why do you say that?" Sarah asks as she slumps to her previous position.

"Well, he knew your name and we don't wear name tags, plus I think I've seen him before," Destiny shrugs and Sarah's face makes an 'o' shape.

"All right Sarah, you're done for the day," her manager says as he passes by the counter.

"Thank you," she cheers before grabbing her stuff and exiting the building to the parking lot. She gets a weird feeling that someone is watching her and checks, but no one is there so she unlocks her car and heads home, she must just be paranoid from all the random people recognizing her.

"Wow, I'm glad no one recognized me at work today," Mia says after Sarah is done complaining about how her day went.

"I had some friends ask if I went to the afterparty, but I just gaslit them into thinking it was someone else," Selene adds.
"See!" Meg scolds, "No gaslighting!"

"They weren't actually my friends though, they were just people in one of my classes," Selene defends herself.

"Oh well in that case, gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss," Meg responds. "Personally, no one asked about me either but I did get a ton of new followers."
"Same," Mia agrees, "My phone was going off all day during my shift."

"I don't have my phone on me while at work so I didn't really notice," Sarah mentions as she slides her phone out of her back pocket, Selene following suit.

"Damn!" Selene shouts in surprise before coughing.

"You good?" Meg asks.

"Yeah, just started choking on my water." Selene waves off her concern.

"Okay but seconded, my following more than doubled in a day." Sarah stares wide eyed at her phone, "Maybe this is a dream?"

"Nope, all real," Mia says as she rises from her seat. "I'm going to go work on a project for next week."

"That sounds like fun," Selene says sarcastically.

"It isn't," Mia laughs before closing the door to her room.
