On set

We get to set and per Theo's manners, he helps me out of the jeep. We didn't say much the rest of the way to set but that's okay. The silence was good.

We see Neil the director as we are walking in. He greats us with a hug and hello.

He lets us know we are meeting in office on Stage 3. Today we start a bootcamp training to get us in shape for when we start filming next month.

The first person we run into is Miles Teller. I greet him with a big hug and introduce him to Theo. We did a movie together called, "The Spectacular Now" I tell Theo.

Once we get acquainted with everyone, Neil advises us he has rented out Apartments for all of us actors to stay at. He figured it would be much nicer than staying in a hotel for 4 months. Once we are all assigned apartment keys, and trailer keys for set its time to get to work.

Neil tells us all to go get changed and meet downstairs in the warehouse where we will be training.

I'm walking with Zoe Kravitz when Theo runs up and lifts me off the ground and takes off running. He starts teasing me about how in shape he is and how he is going to beat me at everything.

I'm laughing and screaming for him to put me down. I tell him not to underestimate me, and before I know it we are making a bet to see who can last longer in the work out.

We all get partnered up and of course Theo and I get put together, being that we are the main characters in the movie. According to Neil we have to make sure and get comfortable with each other so we look natural on camera.

Its been a long day of Push ups, sit ups, Pull-ups, running, kickboxing, karate, and I feel like I'm going to collapse and never get up.

We all look like we are about to pass out, when Neil comes in and tells us we are done for the day.

Miles decides that we all need to get together tonight and hang out. So we make a plan to all meet at the new apartment complex, so we can help each other get settled and hang out.

I'm walking with Zoe when Theo comes up behind us and puts his arms around both our shoulders. Of course Zoe starts to complain right away because Theo is all sweaty.
"Geez Theo what are you 10" she says to him.

He begins to laugh and proceeds to pull us in closer so we get covered in his sweat. Zoe protests and threatens to get him back. I can tell this is going to be one fun cast.

Theo jogs ahead and looks back, telling me he will be waiting for me at the Jeep.

Zoe looks at me with curiosity, and before she can say anything I jump in...Zoe before you crack any jokes, we road together here. We hung out a couple times per Neil's request before today so we could get to know each other. There's a lot riding on these characters and Neil wants to make sure we look natural.

All Zoe does is raise her hands, and proceeds to say she wasn't gonna say anything. She does of course state how handsome he is. Before she gets to excited, I tell her to pipe down he has a girlfriend.

Zoe just laughs and says of course he does. I mean look at him, the guy is a sexy beast. With that remark I burst out in laughter and head to the Jeep.

Theo is on his cell phone when I walk up, he sounded like he was arguing with someone on the other end. As soon as he notices me, he hangs up and opens the door for me without a word.

We are heading back to my hotel so I can get my things and he is silent. He has a hard look on his face.

Theo, um are you okay. I mean you seem a bit upset. I hope everything is okay. He just glances at me and says He's good and returns to driving.

Just as I was about to question his answer we arrive at the hotel. All I can think to myself is, "He just told me about keeping things from him on the ride over." Well I think this works both ways.

I decide to let myself out before he has the opportunity to help me. I start heading inside to the lobby when Theo comes up behind me wondering what's the rush.

I'm a bit angry at this point, why? I have no freaking clue. I turn to Theo and just stare at him, and before I know it, I'm raising my voice.

Theo! I don't understand you, earlier today you insisted that we need to be open with each other, and when I was heading to the jeep after set you clearly where arguing with someone on the phone, you didn't say a word to me on the ride home and when I ask you if everything is okay you just say "I'm good" when clearly you are not. So maybe this whole open honest friendship thing should be when its only convenient for you.

My arms are crossed and we are just staring at each other for what seems eternity. Theo's eyes are just wondering in mine like he is trying to read me like a book.

What Theo! What are you staring at? He proceeds to smile and tells me how much he enjoyed my rant. By now I am really fuming and just when I'm about ready to go a second round, he pulls me in for a hug and tells me thank you for being so concerned.

At first I hesitate hugging him back because we all know how that makes me feel, but at this moment I don't care. I feel sort of protective of Theo and its just so mind boggling as to why I feel that way.

Theo proceeds to tell me, he was arguing with his girlfriend, and for now he doesn't want to talk about it.

And with that comment I let it go.
