A/N: A bit of a longer chapter for you lovelies<3 thank you for all the excitement and props in the comments! Your love keeps me writing. Enjoy!

We had two and a half hours till lunch after our first shoot. After checking my email I got to work on a portfolio of the games I'm good at/beat per the requests of a few people. Seeing as how I was in the 'games pod' already it seemed fitting. Once I complete it I'll have to present it in a meeting to show my skill set.

"Hey Damien?" I piped up after a while. I had already gone through all the games I had beat because I like to keep a running list. I was now on Vs. games so I figured I'd ask him about format and stuff.

"Yeah what's up." He answered as he looked up from his work to talk to me.

"I was just wondering if you could help me out with part of this. I'm trying to figure out formatting for this section..." I trailed off as I stared at my computer, deep in thought.

"What for?" His question made me realize I hadn't told him what I was doing. I snapped myself out of my thoughts and looked up at him finally.

"Right, sorry. I'm making a portfolio of sorts, of the games I'm good at, seeing as how they wanna add me to the games team and all." Damien sighed out a long 'oh' after I'd explained.

"Yeah I had to do something similar, I should be able to help. What's got ya stuck?"

"I'm trying to figure out how to show my skill set with player v. player games."

"Oh. I gotchu dog." He spoke confidently and it brought me comfort. I didn't have to stress about it anymore. "You're putting the information in a spreadsheet then into a power-point, right?"

"Yeah"

"Alright, cool so, what you're gonna want to do for these is put your achievements, trophies, rank, or whatever that games equivalent is into the actual spreadsheet and then in your speaker notes or something I'd mention how you have a similar skill set to mine." I nodded as I took notes in my head about his instructions. "Make sense? Sound good?" He added as he saw me still nodding.

"Yeah! That helped a lot, thank you."

"No problem." We both went back to our respective work.

I was zoned in to what I was doing. I had gotten a lot done and that sense of achievement kept me working. I only have a couple of things left and I'll be done spreadsheeting. Last 'achievement'... "Y/N" Hours for the first game... "Y/N?" and the second... "Y/N? Dog? You good." I snapped out of my 'work trance' and looked up at Damien slightly frazzled.

"Yeah, I'm good, just in the zone." I laughed awkwardly, not knowing how many times he had tried to get my attention.

"You wanna head to lunch? It's Almost twelve forty. The others left a bit ago, I wanted to wait for you and make sure you could sit with someone you know."

"Huh, guess I really was in the zone." I rubbed my forehead and chuckled a bit in disbelief of how unaware I was.

"You're good dog, I get really focused in too. We should head to lunch though."

"Yeah." We both stood up and grabbed our respective lunches. "I'm following you!" Damien headed off and I followed. This will be an adventure. No, I don't mean the walk there. I mean meeting other people, talking to them, and getting to know them. I have a basic understanding of who some of them are because of the videos I watch with Alex. But that doesn't mean I know anything about them at all. People, weather on purpose or not, portray themselves a certain way on camera. They act different. Even if they didn't I still don't know much because I'm not a fan like Alex. All I know are names, faces, and basic personalities. Sure, I know a bit more about Shayne and Damien from liking so random and hanging out with them on Friday but I still have lots more to learn.
