☆Red
I was really excited to get to know the younger Eras, but the feeling that worried me and my red keds the most was the anxiety about making a good impression on my new discography mates.

What if they don't like me? What if they think I'm weird because I'm not country like them? Is my hair ok? Did this scarf really match this outfit? Will I be a good Era? There were several questions in my mind.

I wore a white t-shirt with red stripes, a black skirt, my favorite sneakers and a red scarf around my neck.

I just couldn't calm down. But I still took some courage and rang the doorbell hoping that someone would come and answer me, or I don't know, maybe give me a tour of the house and offer me a warm welcome?

A short time later, a blondie with curly hair, a white hat and a strong accent opened the door with a happy and innocent look.

D: Morning, u good?

The girl greeted me in a friendly and open way.

R: Hi, you probably don't know me yet but-

I responded nervously, stumbling over my words and visibly tense.

D: You're Red, right?

Debut asked as if she already knew the answer.

R: Yeah,I am
D: Oh, nice to meet you, I'm Taylor Swift,and yeah i'm self-titled but you can call me Debut if you want!

The country girl rambled, almost ripping off my arm while shaking my hand. Holy God, what kinda work out does this girl do?

R: N-nice to meet you too, Debut

I greeted her, slightly embarrassed but happy for the welcome.

D: Come in,i'll show you the house.

And so we spent a long time walking through every corner of the house while I was introduced to every room and listening to the craziest stories. about them.

R: Can I ask you a question, Debut?

I asked timidly.

D: Yes, you can.
R: Where's that other Era you were telling me about?
D: Who, Fearless?
R: No, the other one.

I can swear she has a crush on Fearless.

But she had mentioned some Speak Now girl I think. I haven't seen her until now, and I was getting more and more anxious, as something told me that we would be very good friends.

D: Ahh, you must be talking about Speak Now, she's not home right now and she'll only come back later.

Debut replied confidently.

D: relax,we're throwing a party later on and you can meet her there,ok?
R: Alright then.

☆Speak Now

I've went out early this morning to take care of some business downtown, and I took the opportunity to clear my mind a little.

I've been very stressed these days, not because of Red's arrival, but because of an argument I've had with Fearless a few days ago.

She's been very difficult lately, but when i tried talking about it, she got pissed and started saying a lot of shit to me!

She called me crazy, possessive, bossy, dramatic, bipolar among other insults that I don't even like to remember.
