humane hours

madeline's pov

the next day we had filming again but after school this time 3-10pm.

so violet picked me up and we went to grab food first. "it's not a porsche, but not all of us are rich" she said talking about her car. i hadn't even thought of that.

"you don't want to be" i shook my head knowing how money changed people.
"where are we going?"

after getting our food we got to set with a 20 minutes to eat before rehearsals. so we sat in our trailer and ate in a determined silence.

the hours went by quickly and soon i was on my dinner break with scarlett. rehearsing was so cool.

i pulled out my french homework as i needed to get started on it. and scarlett brought us two bowls of something for dinner. i thanked her sitting on the floor to use the coffee table.

"homework?" she questioned and i nodded

i was mumbling french under my breath trying to get the most fitting translation that made sense and scarlett must have heard me.

"am i too tired for this or are you actually speaking a different language right now" she said rubbing her temples.

"it's my french homework" i laughed. "sorry"
she nodded going back her food.

at 10pm and my full day was finished i was wrecked. scarlett gave me a hug once we were done.

"i'm proud of you for today, you did amazing, i can't wait to start filming" she said as she pulled away.

i didn't know how to respond so i thanked her and we both headed to our cars.

"text me when-" "i get home, yes scarlett ill remember this time" i smiled at her and she gave me a knowing grin.

i got in my car and waiting for the heater to work a little and que the music for my drive. a bunch of sad frank ocean to be honest. i needed the slow mental break from constant talking and sounds.

i drove the speed limit just cruising down the roads. when there was a red light i would sit calmly and tap at the steering wheel.

everything was controlled and slow.

when i got home it was closer to 11pm, and so i went upstairs for a shower. then i got in bed with an ice cold bottle of water next to me.

my love

caleb
hi princess
i know you're busy at work
but i love you and i want you to let me know you got home safe

seeing his message reminded me again i needed to text scarlett, so i left him on read quickly and texted the blond before returning to the conversation.

madeline
i got home safe babe
but i'm really tired
so goodnight :)

i assumed he messaged as i heard my phone buzz but i was too tired to grab it again.

i quickly fell asleep, and i mean quick.

i didn't wake up until 11am the next day. i shocked myself when i saw the time. i guess i needed the rest.

checking my phone i had so many notifications i scrolled through deciding what ones to respond to.

i pulled out my phone and called violet.
"hey madz" violet said into the phone.

"hey violet, wanna come over and do nothing?" i asked her. "i know it sounds stupid, but i overslept and i don't feel like spending the day by myself self" i explained and she agreed saying she would be over soon.

when she told me she was here i went downstairs in my pyjamas and let her in. she was in a much more put together outfit. and she had a white kitten in her arms.

"sorry, alex just got a new cat and i'm not allowed to leave him unattended" she said and i barely heard it as i reached out for the cutie.

"no objections here" i smiled as the cat started purring in my arms.

i walked into the kitchen and she followed me. "i love loft apartments" she commented taking a seat.

"me too" i said pouring some cereal from myself then offering her some.

we talked and talked and talked. i got a couple texts from my friends about not being at school.

a bit later we decided to go over our lines, considering we really had to get comfortable with eachother.

"maya flung a leg over amelie- do you think it's like this" i said putting my leg over hers. "or like this" i flung my leg fully over her so i straddled her lap.

when i pulled the script away from my face i see her red and frozen.
"violet? what one"

"considering what's next, probably like this" she said as she kept reading and so did i.

"oh, well we can leave that to rehearsals" i shrugged settling in my position. "bla bla bla, bla bla bla" i flick through the rest of the pages we had.

we only had a few scenes to work with so once we had finished everything we decided to just watch a movie.

the princess and the frog to be specific.

after the movie i checked my phone again
"my friends want to come over is that alright?" i asked her and she nodded.

"do you want me to go?" she said and i shook my head

"no you can stay seriously" i assured her."they're bringing maccas. do you want anything?" V shook her head so i told nola what i wanted.

20 minutes later everyone was at my apartment.

"so you just didn't tell any of us that you moved out and live in your own apartment now?" chloe said touring the place.

"well i don't want it to get trashed with parties" i shrugged "i can't afford to be evicted"

"and who's this?" nola asked "you replacing me?" violet stood awkwardly in the lounge room.

"no no, guys this is violet, she's my coworker" i explained "violet this is-" i introduced them all and my friends aren't introverted. they welcomed her instantly.

then caleb came in, late of course
