First Impressions

Hailee's View

"Are you excited about tonight?" Griffin asks.

"Eh." I say.

"I dunno why you said 'eh,' like you win awards on the daily. I don't even know how the hell you got nominated." Griffin says.

I glare at Griffin and he shrugs.

Tonight is the Surfey's and I'm nominated for Fan Favorite Actress. I won a Surfey for Song of The Summer, which was Starving, but I haven't gotten any nominations since.

"Do you think you'll win?" Griffin asks.

"I'd be surprised if I did." I say.

"You gotta give yourself a little more credit. Your acting isn't that terrible." Griffin says.

"Gee, thanks." I say.

Griffin laughs and I smile.

Time Skip; Y/n's View

"I'm so nervous." I say.

"You'll be fine." Max says adjusting the camera.

I asked Austin if Max could be the cameraman for the night so I can have someone to save the day when shit hits the fan.

"How you guys feeling?" Austin asks walking over.

"Stressed." I say.

"You'll do great." Austin says.

"Define great." I say.

You can practice interviewing me." Austin says.

"Okay." I say.

"I gotta record this." Max says, chuckling.

"So I'm here with..." I say.

"Austin Sidesurf." Austin says, speaking into the microphone.

"How're you feeling? Excited to be here?" I ask.

"Yeah, of course. Not so happy to be paying for it." Austin says.

I chuckle and Austin smiles.

"Who's your pick for-" I ask.

Someone walks by and accidentally nudges Austin. He bumps into me and I drop the microphone. The mic makes a loud screech and I look at Austin.

"What are the odds of that happening?" I ask as Austin bends down to pick the mic up.

"It's 100% possible, it's not your fault." Austin says.

"I think it's broken." Max says.

"What is?" Austin asks.

"The microphone. I'm not seeing any sound waves." Max says.

Austin and I look at each other and he sighs.

"I'll get another one." Austin says, giving me a pat on the back.

Austin walks away and I sigh.

"This gonna be a shit fest." Max says.

"Tell me something I don't know." I say.

Hailee's View; 30 minutes later...

"My oh my." Someone says.

I turn around and see Austin.

"How are you?" I ask, smiling.

"Good." Austin says as we hug.

"You look nice." I say.

"Right back at you." Austin says.

"Have you done an interview with Y/n yet?" Austin asks.

"I have no idea who that is." I say.
