I see a boy with black hair and a black hoodie walk into the set and stand off to the side. He seems nervous, shifting his weight from foot to foot, occasionally glancing around the busy set. He didn't say anything to anyone, but I could tell that he wanted to speak to someone. After a few minutes of watching him stand there awkwardly, fidgeting with the strings of his hoodie, I decided to approach him. I walked up to him and introduced myself.

"Hey, my name's Y/N, what's yours?" I held out your hand for a handshake, trying to appear as friendly as possible.

He looked at me for a moment, his dark eyes studying my face, then hesitantly extended his hand to shake mine.

"My name's Finn," he responded quietly, his voice barely audible over the bustling set noise.

We get to talking and learn that he is also a fairly new actor, and he's from Vancouver, Canada. His face lights up when he mentions his hometown, and I can see him becoming more comfortable as the conversation flows. As the two of us continue talking, we find out that we have a lot in common. We both love music and have a passion for acting. Finn even tells me about a few roles he's auditioned for recently. I can tell that he's dedicated to his craft and I admire that about him.

"Yeah, I auditioned for the new IT movie, it's based on the book by Stephen King. I auditioned for Richie Tozier, I really hope I get the part." He says, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

"I haven't auditioned for much, to be honest," I respond, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. "I guess I don't really need to because of this. I would have way too much on my plate."

"I feel you. I kind of have anxiety so I feel overwhelmed already, but I want to help my career" He responds, his fingers drumming nervously against his leg.

"Anxiety can be hard to deal with, I have it too, but it's great that you're pushing through it and pursuing your goals," you say, giving Finn a reassuring smile. "Just remember to take care of yourself and don't be too hard on yourself if things don't go exactly as planned."

Finn nods, appreciating your words. His shoulders visibly relax as he realizes he's found someone who understands. "Thanks, Y/N. It's actually nice to have someone to talk to who understands." You smile, happy to have made a new friend on set. "Of course, any time you want to chat, I'm here."

Then Millie walks over to you, her shaved head catching the studio lights. "It seems like you two are getting along," Millie says with a knowing smile. "I'm Millie," She introduces herself to Finn, her British accent prominent.

"My name's Finn. Nice to meet you. Have you read the script? I guess we're kind of the main characters?" He says to Millie, seeming more confident now.

They seem to be getting along really well. I guess I have no reason to be jealous, we just met anyway. "I guess I'll go try to meet the others," I say to them while walking to the other room. The sound of their laughter fades behind me as I enter the next space. When I walk in I see someone who looks a little familiar. Wait? IS THAT WINONA RYDER???!!!

"Hi, I'm Y/N!" I say to her, trying to keep my voice steady despite my inner fangirl screaming.

"Hey, I'm Winona" She responds calmly, her warm smile immediately putting me at ease.

"Okay, I'm sorry if this is weird but I literally love all of your work. I love Heathers especially is literally my favorite" I gush, unable to contain my excitement.

"Thank you so much!" She responds, genuinely touched. "I can't wait to work with you"

"I CAN'T WAIT EITHER" I exclaim. She laughs. I see 2 other kids walking up to us, their footsteps echoing on the concrete floor.

"Hey I'm Caleb," The first kid says, his friendly smile lighting up his face.

"I'm Gaten!" says the second kid, his curly hair bouncing as he waves.

"Oh, hi I'm Y/N, Nice to meet you, Caleb and Gaten," you say, shaking their hands. "I'm really excited to work with you guys."

"Same here," Caleb says with a smile that reaches his eyes.

"Totally," Gaten agrees, his enthusiasm infectious.

As I start to chat with Caleb and Gaten, I can't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to work with such talented and friendly people. The conversation flows naturally as we discuss our favorite movies and what scenes you're most excited to film. I can tell that this is going to be an amazing experience, and I can't wait to see where it takes us all. After that, the directors walk in and tell us it's time to head back to our trailers. "I guess I see you guys tomorrow at filming"

"Bye!" They both respond and we all start walking back to our trailers, the sunset casting long shadows across the lot.

I put on my PJs and hop into bed, the soft sheets welcoming after such an eventful day. I guess today went a little better than I expected I think as I drift to sleep, the excited butterflies in my stomach finally settling down.
