Laila Atlantic doesn't waste any time in running over to her best friend to embrace him and because she's been on the set so much, it doesn't faze anyone, not even when she's interrupting a scene (though she tries not to do that often).
"Hey, Lils, what're you doing here? Thought you had an audition?" She did, but it hadn't gone well so she quickly made her way to her all time favorite set to hang out with Jared.
"Yeah, but i wanted to see you. It ended early anyways." He surely saw through her white lie but decided against pushing her since they're still around people. She greets Misha and Gen, sitting in the little circle they made.
Now where's Jensen, is her first thought as she leans closer to the small group, listening to whatever they were talking about, enjoying some of Misha's salad. She usually tried to keep her distance from the older actor only because he made her nervous and she didn't know how to properly act around him.
It's been years since they've met but she still can't seem to get over her crush on him. She always has a stupid excuse to not be in a room he's in, she's hardly been in a room alone with him the whole five years, unless they were with Danneel, though he hardly talked then, opting to stay on his phone.
Jared checks his phone which just pinged; "Jensen's done with Bob, my turn." Gen groans, holding onto her boyfriend a little tighter. It makes laila smile, seeing them so in love when she knows how hard last year was on Jared. He never thought he'd find someone like Gen in his life but he did. And one year later they're still the strongest relationship she's ever seen.
"Where's my lunch?" That's a voice the brunette can recognize anywhere and it makes her freeze. Now where on earth does Jared think he's going? And Gen hanging on his arm too? Yeah, no way she was staying here alone.
"Here." Misha holds up a plastic bag and Jensen quickly snatched it, sitting where Jared was just a second ago, next to Laila. "Don't thank me or anything." He rolls his eyes and starts opening up his burrito.
"I need to get back to work, bye guys." No one is even fazed as she throws a random 'bye' to whoever will catch it, walking back to her car.

"I need to know what i did to her, man." Jensen says, mouth full with the insanely incredible food that Misha got him. He could really kiss the man right now.
"I'm sure it's nothing, she's not used to you is all." If he wasn't so busy stuffing his mouth he would've scoffed and hit his friend on the head.
"She's known you for one year and you're already friends," he swallows, putting down the food, "i've known her for what? five years? she used to come over all the time and i don't even have her number, i don't know how that's possible."
"She isn't in the cast, that's normal. Maybe you just don't initiate conversation."
"Yeah, cause she looks like she wants to bang my head in every time i see her, she's not exactly the 'let's talk' type." Misha wanted to tell jensen that he was being stupid but the truth is, he's right. Laila's been very obviously ignoring Jen for the whole year he's been here to witness, never mind the four before that. Laila and Misha are close, but he wouldn't say close enough to bring it up to her, maybe he'll tell Jared. It does seem to be affecting Jensen, so it needs to be dealt with.
