SHOT !¡ MASON THAMES

18. ❝ matchmaker ❞ ✰

THE DAY HAS finally come. it was their first day of filming. liv was so excited to go on set and meet her other co-stars. they were all packed in brady's car and as soon as brady pulled into the set, liv jumped out of the car, followed by maddy and rebecca. they all giggled as they ran into the white tent where all the producers, writers and directors were, soon followed by the boys.

"olivia aoki!" liv heard a voice call her name and she turned her body around. scott derrickson was walking towards her with a smile on his face. "scott! it's so nice to meet you," she shook his hand, smiling softly. "you, too!" he nodded. he said hello to maddy and rebecca, leading them to their director's chairs.

liv made sure to greet all of her other co-stars she hadn't met yet, like banks, jordan, spencer, brady ryan and even ethan hawke. once introductions were all done, she made her way into her dressing room. "hi," she smiled at the stylist. she sat in the chair and the stylist began doing her thing.

mason came in in the middle of the stylist doing her hair and took a picture of her eating, then left immediately. she made a mental note to yell at him for that later. her hair was put into two french braids with a white bandanna covered over the top of her head.

she wasn't gonna lie, laura yamada's style was cute. she was dressed in a pink and yellow striped shirt, white shorts, white knee-high socks and a pair of black converse. when she was finished with everything, she walked out of the dressing room and met up with the rest of the cast.

the first scene they had to film was a baseball game scene. liv stayed close to maddy and becca and almost died when she found out her and becca had to separate themselves from maddy. maddy went to the left side of the bleachers, sitting down while becca and liv went to the right side and leaned against the bleachers.

a brown-skin girl with braids came skipping over to becca and liv with a soda in her hands and a smile on her face. "hi! i'm sanayah, you can call me nayah," she held out her hand to liv first. "i'm liv," liv nodded, returning a warm smile to the cheerful girl. "rebecca, hi," becca greeted the girl when she held out her hand.

"i'm scott's daughter. it's so nice to meet you both," nayah threw her braids behind her shoulder. "oh? i didn't know he had a daughter," liv laughed, squinting her eyes. "yeah, i'm adopted," she told them, nodding with the same toothy grin on her face.

"i'm playing one of laura yamada's friends, so we're basically all besties on set!" she giggled. "really? i'm so glad, we're finally meeting another girl our age after living in a house full of smelly boys," becca smirked. nayah nodded and laughed.

"i'm not gonna lie, i stalked liv's instagram," nayah began, widening her eyes for a second in embarrassment. "i saw that people ship you and mason thames a lot," she pursed her lips. "oh, yeah," liv bit her lip, awkwardly looking at the ground. "so, is there anything going on between you guys?" nayah asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

"oh, there's something going on between them, for sure," rebecca smirked, nudging liv's shoulder. "stop it..." liv whisper-yelled, shoving becca as a small blush appeared on her cheeks. "you guys would look so cute together," nayah playfully rolled her eyes. "i know, right?" rebecca nodded, grabbing nayah's hands and giggling with her.

"quiet on set!" scott called out, waving his arms. the set got quiet as mason got in position for his character 'finney blake'. liv looked him up and down, biting her lip. he looks really good in a baseball uniform, she thought. she widened her eyes when she realized what she was thinking and sucked in a sharp breath.
