Insomniac

Never a Dull Moment

"Wakie wakie!" Charlie jumped on top of Ki and Will as Thomas lightly shook Kaya awake. Upon Charlie's voice though, everyone's eyes cracked open. Dylan was the first to respond

"What the hellllll?" He drug out his words in a moan grabbing ahold of Kaya again to go to sleep.

Charlie chuckled and pulled out her phone snapping a picture. "Come on O'Brien let go of Kaya! Thomas and I brought breakfast!"

Immediately at the mention if food Dylan was rising to his feet tossing Kaya to the other side of the couch. It made them all bust out in laughter as he hopped over his drowsy friends to the bag of breakfast sandwiches. "Easy tiger!" Charlie chuckled taking his side pulling out all the different muffins and sandwiches.

Thomas passed out the coffees and Charlie tossed the food to everyone. Once distributed, she leaped onto the counter and sat observing her new friends as they ate. "So." Will cleared his throat. "What time do we have to be on set?"

"Ughhh." Thomas groaned looking at his watch. "Around 7. We've got around an hour."

"That's what I love about this job." Dylan pushed through his food filled mouth.

Ki laughed. "I thought you weren't a morning person!"

"I'm not. But what other job is there that is acceptable to wear your pajamas to work?"

Everyone chuckled finishing up their breakfast. "Alright well." Charlie hopped off and threw away the empty bags and containers. "I will be right back."

"Where are you going? It's six in the morning!" Dylan hollered stuffing the eggs back into his mouth.

Charlie just rolled her eyes. "To make a phone call Dumbo. Now swallow your food!"

As soon as Charlie was outside on the patio she had her phone up to her ear. Both Thomas and Kaya looked to each other in understanding, her grandfather.

-----------------------------------------------------------
It was immediately a chaotic mess. Charlie was pulled away from Kaya and the others towards her trailer. The opening scene was her character, sprinting, running through the Maze. So, she needed to get suited up quickly.

The others split off one by one, Dylan wasn't exactly the most rushed. Both Kaya and himself wouldn't be joining the film until later.

"Hey Charlie." A familiar voice called to her as she entered her trailer.

The smile crept across Charlie's face. "Hey Sammy." Sammy was her personal make up artist. Back in the day Sam and her mother were close friends. He went to school for cosmetology, made a career out of it, and had a steady job. But, when everything went to shit Sammy was there for her. So in her first landed film, she requested Sammy. It was time to finally repay the guy for everything he did for her, so she found this the first suitable thing to come to mind.

"How have you been? Long time no see!" He smiled pulling her into a hug. His dark skin clashed against hers, but for the short moment it felt like home.

"I'm doing good. How is Jake doing?" She brought up his life partner.

"Oh you know... He's Jake."

"Still obsessive?"

"Absolutely, but he cares. It's nice. Now, let's get you all beautified.. Or sweaty and gross.. Whatever you want to call it."

Chuckling Charlie sat down in the chair he set for her. The mirror was lined in lights, and it made her look away. She never liked looking at herself... "How many times do I have to tell you you're beautiful Sanders?" Sam smiled moving her hair from her neck.
