LENA'S POV

"Luca i really don't know if i want to do this." I said, examining my hair in the mirror.

"Lenaaa, come on, just think about the headlines! Lena Goodwell, buzzed at the met gala! Come on babes you've gotta admit it sounds cool." Luca replied through the phone.

"You're right actually but fuck it's gonna take a while to grow back." I panicked.

"True but hey, you're gonna look hot!" Lena's sister, Hailee, my older sister, shouted from the kitchen.

"Hailee get in here and help me right now." I sighed, clippers in hand.

Hailee took the clippers off of me and looked at me. "Awww, my little sis is doing her first edgy hair cut!" She sang.

"Oh shut up. Hey Luca when do you get back?" I asked, since Luca, my best friend, was currently in Paris working.

"Not a clue actually, I'll be there for the Met though!" He replied.

"Ok great. Hailee I'm ready. Just do it." I squeezed her eyes shut.

The clippers glided over my head as my locks of  brown hair fell to the floor. There was no going back now.

A half hour later, when Hailee was finally finished buzzing her sisters hair, I opened her eyes as I had been too scared to previously.

"Oh shit. I look hot." I gasped.

"Babe you're gonna BE the met gala this year!" Luca shouted from the other end of the phone.

"Why did I do this again?" I questioned.

"Because you wanna match the theme? Plus you needed a haircut anyway." Hailee teased. Earning an irritated look from me.

"Lena I've gotta hang up, someone just arrived. Talk to you later babe stay hot!" Luca said.

"Luca shut up? Also what someone?!" I said, too late as Luca had already hung up.

*************

The night before the met gala was one stressful night. My stylist was freaking out and it wasn't helping my nerves. This was my first big event since... never! The publicist she was working with wanted me to make more appearances before her big show dropped next month.

I would be wearing a silver, futuristic dress with black sequins in shapes of fireworks across her abdomen. It was floor length with a detachable train on the back, so I had two people that would be carrying it behind her. I had a spare, short black dress to change into after the main event for the after party. It lay hung up in my hotel room, right across where my bed was.

"Right Lena that's it from me, try and get some sleep, you have to be there at 6pm so your team will get here around 12." The stylist said and swiftly left the room.

I stood looking hopelessly into the mirror. I wondered if Luca was back yet. I really hoped so.

*********

After my shower, I did my skin care, put on my pyjamas, fell into my covers and watched Gossip girl right before falling fast asleep.

In the morning, my alarm blared at 8:00 telling me to get the fuck up it's met gala day!
I groaned, yawned, and dragged myself to the kitchen of her apartment.

Tiredly, I made herself a cup of coffee with avacado on toast and sat on my couch.
I groaned and checked my phone, since the announcement of my first ever TV show - love in unexpected places -, my instagram had blown up and gained 300k followers within a week! I quickly snapped a photo of my breakfast and added the caption big surprise coming up 😉 before posting the photo and smiling. I couldn't wait for people to finally see me stepping into the world of fame.

A/N- I've just finished editing the first chapter into first person as I think k prefer it that way, I'm going to do the same for chapter two now, expect an update of a new chapter soon!!
